AUTOGRAPH TURN UP THE RADIO REACTION(First time hearing)

[@privateuser4328]

Excellent song!!

[@NoName-fx9zi]

This band landed the opening act for Van Halen's 1984 Tour, despite having no record contract, no radio single, and without ever playing a live show anywhere together. They debuted as a complete unknown in front of 20,000 in Jacksonville Florida. Their drummer became jogging partners with David Lee Roth while they were working on a demo, Roth got ahold of the demo and loved it, invited the band to come on the tour.

This was our jam, back in the day. 1985, I believe it was. And we did, in fact, turn up the Radio. They had another song on this album that was pretty cool too - "Blonds In Black Cars."

&neow theres a thought or,two'too hope>thru>faith

[@jetsteeltherealdeal7827]

I always play this song while driving the corvette

[@marksims6425]

Daytime, nighttime, anytime….things go better with ROCK…….

[@rpminc1974]

Your so right it does sound so much like Def Leppard !!

[@McFlurry-OREO1]

They were obviously Def Leppard fans, you can hear it in their sound.

[@Rockerboi]

You are so right about that Def Leppard sound! Now I cant get that out of my mind lol🤘🏻 Awesome stuff 👏🏻

[@jefferynyseth6894]

Miami Vice was really notable for it' use of contemporary music in the show. I was watching a rerun of the show that had this in it. I had forgotten about it. Downloaded it immediately. There are a few songs that compete for the quintessential 80s song. This is one of them.

[@lorettascurato2692]

My first time hearing this song/band. Great!! I would love to have heard this in a club to dance or as a driving song. Loved it!!

[@richgoebel882]

When this song was big, a rock radio station in Rochester New York used this as their theme song, and edited it to repeat, "Turn up....the radio, the radio, the radio" then would announce their call letters as normal. It was cool to drive through there at that time. This song would play at the roller skate rink, it's slightly faster and would be a good pace for someone trying to race. The sound is called 80's Hair Band, Def Leppard being one of the best known.

[@EarthWalker2023]

I can remember the 1st time this played on the radio

[@TheCaveman46]

I hope you turned it up like I did (and still do)!

[@stompthatazz3967]

Did you turn it up?

[@EarthWalker2023]

@@stompthatazz3967 ABSOLUTELY

[@aviatom1]

First time I heard this song I thought he was gonna sing "things go better with coke" from the coke a cola commercial jingle, lol. Great reaction Harri

[@HarriBestReactions]

😅

[@garytom1935]

Great jam yeah, I wish I could have seen them in concert 👌😎👋🎸🎸🎶🎤

[@matthewcranney6576]

The band coincidently decided to call themselves Autograph because the bands lead singer loved Photograph by Def Leppard. Most bands in the 80's followed the blueprint Def Leppard set with Pyromania.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thanx Matthew..this makes total sense now..the resemblance was too much!

[@glennawhiteman742]

Their songs Cloud 10 and Friday are alot of fun too!

[@ukiahsguitarsolos3436]

That guitar solo is epic.

[@pjwiz5273]

WOW!!! I had totally forgotten this song! Way cool!!😎😂 I used to rock out to this, screamin' down the interstate so fast! South Florida, in 20s ... long long ago. Excellent tune!! Thx Harri !! 💓🇺🇸

[@gilbertorodriguez5344]

Hello watching from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷good show AUTOGRPH use The Keeboord in Metal them Def Lepard🤘🎆🎩🎸☄

[@dsusan17]

I have never heard this song or band. They sound like about 3 different bands. Great reaction Harri

[@bettyechols6405]

Me either

[@ChrisB-xm3mg]

They were an 80's metal band but they never hit big the way some of them did.

[@jetsteeltherealdeal7827]

I crank this up loud while I’m driving my 87 vette…makes me wanna just stomp the gas pedal

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Haven't heard this in many years.... And yes I also thought it was Def Leppard.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Welcome to tha club 😅

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

This is great Harri. I really enjoyed this song

[@juancastaneda9525]

I watch this video all the time in the early 2000 Vh1 Classic Metal Mania!!! 🤘😎🤘

[@55Porter]

I spent years thinking this was Def Leppard until I found out otherwise several years ago. 😂

[@ektor1212]

this song should be played when riding a ferrari with a beautiful girl

[@douglaspollock860]

D a m n straight...!

[@erikjeffreys2144]

Turn up the radio!!! If it's too loud... you're too old!

[@valogden]

Crazy everytime I heard this I just assumed Def Leppard.

[@McFlurry-OREO1]

Me too, totally

[@Wildcatfever]

That was a jam pop the cassette in the radio crank it up and drive when I was a teenager still crank up my hair metal in my pickup when the wife not with me lol and I’m in my upper 50s now

[@rufscooby1]

well said your right, they did sound like def leopard. you should try Zebra "Who's behind the door"

[@pjwiz5273]

Hey Harri! Have you heard Sammy Hagar : "Heavy Metal"? He was post-Montrose and pre-VanHalen. Awesome in his own right. Saw him on the Three Lock Box tour, circa 1980. Beginning of hair metal bands. Excellent tune!! You might want to look up Sammy prior to VanHalen. Favorite album of his "Standing Hampton". Whole album = major awesomeness.🤘

[@letno3662]

Good song! Never heard this before

[@marckusel5602]

Violent Femmes Blister in the sun

[@Lost_and_found85]

Great song

[@georgequinn7325]

How about "Round and Round" by Ratt? Loved watching that vid and this one on MTV when MTV was new.

[@ATAH69]

Agreed! Ratt had a lot of great tune's (Wanted Man) (Back For More) (Way Cool Jr) (Lay It Down) Just to name a few more....

[@BullfrogProphet]

Yes, they were for sure influenced by Def Leppard, at least according to Wikipedia, which points out that the name for the band was influenced by hearing the DL song "Photograph".

[@abiedavidantillon4258]

Good point his voice does sound like Joe Elliott and the bon Jovi from let It Rock check into it

[@Homebusinessesideas]

Only song there known for very catchy song i always thought

[@jowbloe3673]

They had a few others that got some airplay, but this was their first and biggest.

[@clare1061]

You need to listen to a band from Detroit the name of the band is the ROCKETS and the song is “turn up the radio“ this one’s much better than what autograph gave us.

[@michaelbenematti2044]

If you think you shouldn't drive while you're listening to this jam .Check out a dude named, Sammy Haggar called, "I Cant Drive 55"

[@noahthundermiller6869]

hey I've heard that song before. you should look up the Band call Rio - Sex Crimes 1986 and react to it. you might like it.

[@gilbertorodriguez5344]

First time 🎹 in the Glamm METAL 👹🎶🎩🎸🙌🇵🇷💦🤘

[@CarolynDaniels-xd3mp]

My only problem was, wife didn't like having the radio turned up a bit.....

[@jefflee2698]

Another song that causes tickets,when it comes on is I Can't Drive 55,by Sammy Hagar.

[@jeniferbonfiglio5251]

I saw Autograph open for Tesla and they were better performance than Tesla

[@marckusel5602]

Isn't this Def Leopard?

[@HarriBestReactions]
