Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You (Live)

ROCK STARS PERFORM LIVE IN CONCERT

[@barbr8012]

I will go with what was posted 4 years ago....Billy Squire is so underrated!!! Gotta keep the greats a goin'!!! Who is with me in the year 2022??????

[@ThePaddyman1965]

Greetings from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪

[@englishyoucanuse]

Got to agree, he is seriously underrated. Saw him many years ago, great live.

[@ChiCan76]

I'm here in 2022....loving it!

[@MissMeggarz142]

He was integral when I was in the car with my mom. Now she is a heavy metal/rock and roll grandma...so my kids are learning the importance of these great musicians from the past.

[@barbr8012]

@@MissMeggarz142 That is so awesome to hear. Hon, I am 66, never will grow up and a die hard rock n' roller. Kudos to your Mon. Thanks for stopping by and have a good one.

Your right !!!

He was awesome!

[@LuvBorderCollies]

He was red hot in the early 80s. I'd forgotten how many good tunes he had. I'm having a reminiscing night. 👍

[@Physics072]

I over rated him for years now people are voting to under rate him in 2023?

[@Gunrunner223]

You are so right.

[@samuelmorado70]

He had hit after hit. Hardest working guy in the 80s

[@dinoballiviero1607]

What makes Billy Squier a true original is his unmistakable voice, his consummate guitar playing, and the passion and drive of his band. You put that all together, and you have effortless chemistry. There won't be another one like him. Billy Squier's music will live on and resonate with those who truly appreciate classic rock. Thank you so much for creating your own style and thank you for proving it was all worth it.

[@threalismaradona9899]

I love Billy but he was definitely heavily influenced by Mr Plant. No disrespect but I had to call it out

[@kevbob]

@@threalismaradona9899to be sure, Plant has influenced many of us. While I may not be a famous singer, I do arrive by longboat when I travel to coasts and I do occasionally ride horseback across the fields and forests of Wales, with my loyal falcon ready to drive out invaders to my castle. A little Plant is within all of us.

Billy Squier is a badass guitar player and a hellacious singer. Why is he so underrated and why is he not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's put out some of the best music that's ever been put out..

Man.... the late 70s and early 80s were great. We had some of the best music and artists. Rock and Roll.

Many moons ago during the great conquests, I was with my soon to be favorite wife. Billy & the band did an outdoor show in Tulsa on the river. I talked the now Mrs. Clark into going & we had seats down close. She had no idea of what to expect but when the 1st band started up, she was shocked at the volume. I said, "This is nothing." & handed her ear plugs. She suffered thru that but when Billy hit the stage it was deafening. The show was amazing & I loved it, but Mrs. Clark was in pain. She lasted, but said never again. 2 years later we were in Norman, OK for the Stones "Bridges" tour, 10 rows back center. I again got out the ear plugs which she used, but this time she boogied, dancing in the isles & into the mood. Now we're 70 & listen to quiet music on the educational channel. Oh well, thank god for KZbin videos.

Many years ago, in N.Y. I did some playing with Billy.. he ended up with a few of my friends as his regular band..... R.I.P., Jeff Golub, guitar, Bobby Choinard, Drums, and the most recent, fellow lefty bassist- Doug Lubahn. Incredible that they're all gone now. That, was a great band.

[@bb-gc2tx]

[@bigbass421]

@@bb-gc2tx I remember that Billy was always a nice guy, to me anyway. I knew him from around the 'scene' before I played a few times with him and a drummer we both knew, in what I now know, was a search for the backing band he'd end up recording and touring with.

[@bb-gc2tx]

@@bb-gc2tx I played with Bobby in a few other band situations, and at jams. He was a really nice guy, we always enjoyed working together. I was sad when he passed. I was also good friends with The Late Doug Lubahn, he was also a lefty bassist like me. Doug played with many bands, including some great bass playing on Doors albums. As far as Billy goes, he was always nice to me, and that, is my experience.. others, I don't know. I could tell you stories of all the scumbags there were in N.Y. back in the day..but those people don't matter to me at all. Even my 'friends' on the scene from the seventies and eighties, aren't my friends anymore. Political differences will do that. Some things are far more important than keeping friends that will betray you.

The first time I ever heard of Billy Squire was about 1980 or so when he was playing one of the "Rock Superbowl" stadium concerts.

Let me tell you we weren't making fun of him on the way home. Billy Squire was apparently one Hell of a Rocker - put on a better show than a couple big name acts.
