This whole album "Don't Say No" is really good with 3 songs that hit the radio back in 1981.

[@lonniebrown889]

I absolutely agree with you. There is not a bad song on this album. Takes me back to the days of crusin’ our local strip and blasting this through my cassette deck in my decked out 1976 Camaro. My favorite track is “Nobody Knows” which was written about John Lennon.

[@willhorting5317]

Lonnie Brown that's cool!😎😎 (I really like that one too.)

[@willhorting5317]

My first, no parent, concert when i was 14 or 15 years old was Billy Squire opening for Lover Boy. It was the very early 80s. I got wasted: Lost all my friends:; and hooked up with a really homely big girl. Good Times!

[@jerrybragg1523]

Always loved the raw sound of his music

[@clhoyt1003]

Billy Squier definitely does not get the respect he deserves. He has SO MANY great tunes. But he always seems to get forgotten when people are talking about great talents, even as a really good guitar player. Sad that that one disastrous music video (Rock Me Tonight) basically ruined his career and also tarnished his legacy. :-(

[@foxchasejrt1]

That was a bad video. 😖 He has so many great songs. Love Billy Squier.

[@JoinTheProgress]

He had his own niche back then, but it's universally agreed that Rock Me Tonight destroyed his career...just as it should have. Richard Simmons already had that niche.

Billy Squire was on top of the world and then... there was the video for Rock Me Tonite, which completely wrecked his career. Man, I wish he had never agreed to do that vid - probably would have got a lot more great songs from this guy.

[@Duke_2373]

I remember that, that video was a career killer. Always liked this album though, cant deny how big it was when it came out.

Saw him open for Queen in 82.......The ENTIRE album "Dont say no" is FANTASTIC!

Had the chance to see Billy twice back in the early eighties. First time, in 1981, as a headlining act and again, in 1982, as the opening act for Queen.

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for someone to dig into this artist. He’s got a bunch of great songs.

[@Critical_Thinker858]

I've heard this song probably hundreds of times over the years on the radio; and for some reason, now for the first time, I'm really getting a Zeppelin vibe - with both the drums and guitar, especially from the bridge on, (okay, disclaimer - I'm not equating this to anything Page or Bonham did in terms of pioneering musicianship - just the overall sound strikes me as similar to something like - Nobody's Fault But Mine. I don't know. Feel free to disagree on that if you want). But then the double time speed up at the end gave me GnR Paradise City vibes too. Just a really cool song. It was all going so well for Billy until his "Rock Me Tonight" music video.

[@react2reactions246]

You’re not alone man, I thought this WAS Zeppelin for most of my life.

[@nonplayerzealot4]

Zep pops rite out. In The Dark used to get callers to radio stations asking for that new Robert Plant song.

[@coolhandluke3223]

The Vocals too

[@dvo1245]

Yup, I always thought this was Zeppelin too when I was a kid... Was super surprised when I got older & found out it wasn't... It's obvious to me now it ain't with how much Zeppelin I've digested but yea, def a heavy Zepp influence...

[@mikepaulus4766]

Billy Squire has a Christmas song called Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You that was only done live at MTV the first Christmas after it started.

[@bilysquier]

One of the best rock songs ever recorded, between Billy's guitar and Bobby smashing those cymbals, plus those bass riffs!

[@kriscoumbe8577]

Billy Squire is one of my faves. He is so underrated though. In the dark was the first song I heard and was hooked.

[@ThirstyCraig]

Billy was SO close to becoming a really big thing, but as even he said, his downfall was "that video" (the infamous Rock Me Tonight music video), anyone who was around back then knows...He seemed like a good guy and had some pretty good songs.

[@Noclaf555]

Yep, insane that one video destroyed a career. Funny it would be nothing today

[@stevemd6488]

Yea I remember, huge talent blown up by MTV

[@sunshynff]

Yeah, that video was cringe before cringe was even a thing!! Although I think he could have pulled out of that nose dive by doing two things... 1. Get out of his own head, because it killed his confidence 2. Gotten in front of it by making fun of himself, like maybe a skit parody on SNL, show the fans he knew it was cheezy.

[@gregfagan199]

Exactly right. Prancing in the pink tank top did him in.

[@westlod]

But the song is pretty good.

[@drifterman319]

One of the greatest opening guitar riffs ever.

This was Squire's most Zeppelin-esque song, thanks largely to the drumming of Bobby Chouinard.

[@sammyholloway334]

And still zebra, out zepplined him.

[@gregfagan199]

I thought "In the Dark" was even more Zeppelinesque. Like many others, the first time I heard it on the radio I assumed it was Zeppelin.

[@supra1903]

I saw BIlly in St. Louis when he was on tour for his 1991 album Creatures of Habit. The group I was with, along with about 25 other people, waited for him after the show to meet him. Billy's people made everybody form a single file line, and one by one, we had a meet and greet with him on the steps of one the tour buses. He was nice and allowed pictures to be taken too. Billy was very instrumental in bringing Def Leppard to the US. He worked/collaborated with Freddie Mercury; Freddie sang on a couple tracks on Billy's 1986 album, Enough Is Enough. Billy's first album in a studio came from his first band, Piper, but he was originally in a band called The Sidewinders, before Piper. While many would argue that the downfall of Billy's career was his Rock Me Tonite video, he continued to release albums into the 90's. Hear And Now, Creatures Of Habit and Tell The Truth are all very good, solid albums that did not get the recognition/air play that they deserved. Billy got soured on the music business and had a contentious relationship with his record label, Capitol Records, going back to 1986's Enough Is Enough. In the early 90's, there was a phenomenon of music called Grunge, coming out of the Pacific Northwest, that took the nation by storm (think Nirvana, Pearl Jam). During this time, Billy was under contract to produce one more album with Capitol Records. CR pressured him to put out in the direction of Grunge and Billy disagreed....ultimately he released the album that came to fruition, Tell The Truth. That was his final album with Capitol Records and the contentious relationship he had with them, hence the album title and the first song from it, Angry ( a good hard rocker, btw). The fact of the matter is Billy doesn't have to produce any music, to keep making a living from it. He was smart in his career where he owns all the rights to all of his music -- how often do we see musicians/artists that have little to nothing, because they made poor business decisions by signing away their music and catalogs? In addition, Billy's song The Big Beat, off his debut album of being a solo artist, The Tale Of The Tape, is the most sampled song in history, from hip hop/rap "artists"....so imagine all the royalties hes' getting from that. Brad & Lex, and to everybody else who is not familiar, listen to Billy's songs G.O.D., Angry, and You Should Be High, Love.

[@OaktownPirate510]

Billy Squire was a guitar rock GOD in the era of radio. So many killer songs. And then, early in the age of music videos, when the format was being established… he made that “Rock Me Tonight” video, wherein he flounced around in like he was in the movie Flashdance or something, to some bullshit synthesizer noise. Like they say, “Video killed the radio star”. This song, and most of the rest of his catalog bangs, tho.

[@brucer2152]

They accused him of being gay. And back then that meant you might have aids. The backlash was overwhelming.

[@thomasbrissee3251]

I had heard that the video producer wanted him to dance around like that. It's amazing that one video was enough to basically offset the quality of the music of his first album.

[@kellifranklin4432]

I saw Billy Squier, Ratt, and Cinderella together in 83 and it was a fantastic show. Billy was the headliner and his stage was completely pink and it was so cool when the lights went out. He was just awesome! They all were!

[@lashutterbug]

Big, hard arena rock. One of the reasons why Billy's songs rocked so hard was because his producer at the time was Reinhold Mack, who would very shortly become Queen's producer as well. If you listen to Billy's music from this period, you can hear that Queen sound percolating in the background--and sometimes in the foreground. There was Queen/Squier cross-pollination going on as well, such as Billy's song "Love Is The Hero" which has Freddie on background vocals(!).

[@jeffjones6221]

Good tune. Saw Billy warm up for Foreigner juke box hero tour in Indy...festival seating. Those were the days my friend.

[@wompa70]

He needs to just enjoy the groove of a song instead of over analyzing the lyrics. Sometimes it is about the sound.

[@queenarchives350]

Billy Squire was a mate of Freddie Mercury and Queen who produced some of his works, Brian May played with Roger Taylor on drums, John Deacon on bass with Freddie doing backing vocals with Roger. He then supported them on a couple of Queen concerts.

I just adored seeing this give and take between the two of you. The more I watch your vids.. I am learning about Brad.. and I get it .. he's more of a cerebral person.. giving off introvert vibes.. and I can totally appreciate that .. but man it's great to see him let loose and be playful with Lex who is very free and easy .. and wears her emotions on her sleeve and very in touch with how she feels and sees things. I am telling you .. these two are quickly becoming some faves of mine in the KZbin-verse!!! I love how transparent.. and genuine you both are on your channels!!

"Flipping crepes vibes." Lex, you have such a beautifully unique mind.

[@timwanwick179]

Billy Squier's " Don't Say No" album really captured a moment in time --- you hear strains of 1970s Hard Rock , but the production of the record was getting into slick 1980s Metal territory. Billy' s vocals seemed to channel Robert Plant , while the guitar riffs are drenched in Jimmy Page' s aggressive Blues influences. A LANDMARK transitional record from one era ... Into another. Say Billy live twice during the early 80s ... His ENTIRE band set the stage on fire 😎
