[@hibhibb5429]

Billy Squier is Legend!! Everybody in this group is so talented. Bobby Chouinard was One Kick A** Drummer!! Sadly, we lost him too young. RIP Bobby!! Never Forgotten!! ❤

[@surlechapeau]

Bro's, you will love his "My Kinda Lover", "The Stroke" and "Everybody Wants You", all bangers!!

[@carollittle1059]

Yea, The Stroke!

[@BiffMan42]

Yes to all of those, especially My Kinda Lover. Dat bass!!

[@surlechapeau]

@@brandy5879 thank you!

[@jollyj3285]

I love Billy Squier...especially In The Dark

[@johneldridge8678]

Billy Squirer is bad ass!!!

[@jalkabre5904]

Billy was the man back in the '80s. Great songs to jam in high school. Love his work. "In the Dark", "Emotions in Motion", My Kinda Lover", "The Stroke", "Nobody Knows", "Everyone Wants You", just a bunch of great songs

[@jeffderhammer5617]

Make no mistake, this dude rocks!. Seen 'em like 3 times....bad ass concert every time!!!

[@allisterfiend_2112]

This is a good live version, but give the original studio version a listen when you get a chance.

[@Katy_r]

Billy Squire is fun. Great rhythm and so much heart. He has a really cool voice. "All Night Long" is another one with high energy. Thanks guys!!!

[@botabob]

I have been recommending Billy for two to three years to reaction channels - Finally some recognition

[@jenniferandrews1917]

IMO, one of Billy’s best. My favorite song, however, is EVERYBODY WANTS YOU! 🔥!

[@jenn795.]

Yes i was going to tell u to listen to him listen to your my kind of lover thats my favorite song he jams

[@kimberleyphillips6671]

Also "Nobody Knows". Very heart wrenching.

[@mamaflush9945]

Billy Squire has so much swag. He was a force to be reckoned with. "Billy Squire - Everybody Wants You Live (Official Video)" you have bound to have heard this song in movies, commercials ect...

[@roberttompkins6489]

Killer album.

[@Noelle0026]

Billy is a killer performer!!! Saw him in concert with Pat Benatar. He killed it!!

[@vovindequasahi]

Ahhh Billy Squier! This guy was big with metal-heads back in the 80's. He kicks fucking ass for sure!

[@jenn795.]

The music was so much better back in the day im do glad i grew up in the 70 80 90 best times ever

[@viroflay]

Glad to see a reaction from you to Billy Squier! This guy is a great composer and singer. He also sang with Freddie Mercury on one of his LP.

[@motorsportwarehouse5109]

you got your moneys worth at his concerts, and he was the sole lead and really only singer with some great musicians by his side. SO underrated, and dont forget to really listen to the lyrics in his songs. He sounded almost BETTER live if you can believe that...

[@teadadic6918]

Billy Squire Love is the hero with intro sang by Freddie.. awesome..

[@PT9546]

Yes the intro by Freddie is awesome, beautiful song!

[@tsonofjohnson489]

Billy Bad Ass Squire! a lot of great guitarist he was one of them, Party and vodka kamikaze and dancing ..good times.

[@lockforlif55]

Billy came out when I was in high school in the 80's and quickly became a necessity in rockers music collections, many great songs from him and he got heavy rotation play on the radio stations at the time, love his music

[@PT9546]

Hey guys always a nice reaction! By the way Billy was a good friend of Freddie Mercury. He has a great song called Love Is The Hero where Freddie sings backup for him and sings the 40 second intro to the song. Freddie's vocals in that 40 seconds is unbelievable. He hits such high notes and so powerful! You should check it out.

[@michaelt3308]

Saw him open for Queen in 82!!

[@kentnottingham9635]

Saw Billy Squire with Queen around this time in Portland, Oregon @ the Rose Garden! He and Freddy appear on each other’s albums back then. Fun live!!!

[@gesundheit602]

The entire Don’t Say No album is perfect, similar to ones like AcDc’s Back in Black where every single song is amazing. I would definitely recommend taking a listen to the studio version though of this song and all the others.

[@dannycasson1551]

THANK YOU !! I’ve been waiting for this guy to show up on these reaction videos. This guy had a string of great hit songs but then disappeared. Still scratching my head on that one. But you’re right, he plays and sings and performs well. “The Stroke,” “Everybody Wants You,” I could go on and on. Btw I like how you guys did the intro in unison even if it wasn’t planned! You should do it more..

[@bb-gc2tx]

the video for rock me tonite destroyed his career thats why he disappeared . he made more albums but didnt sell like his others

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Go down this rabbit hole….especially his live stuff….saw him live in the 80’s,great show! ❤️🎼❤️🤘😎🔥

[@davidwalker683]

Great jam… such an underrated artist. A great guitarist… try -In the dark, stroke, she’s a runner , my kinda lover

[@joemachine4714]

Studio track is fire too

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

IN YOUR EYES, ONE GOOD WOMAN.

[@jayhoyer3395]

In the Dark is a straight banger!

[@fridaylong2812]

He opened for Queen in '82, at the Seattle Coliseum. Did a great job, although who would want to be followed by Queen????

[@peterborchers410]

In Billys prime many people compared his guitar playing to that of Eddie and his voice to that of Robert Plant.

[@dimedraweriv258]

Yep he sounds almost identical to Robert Plant. At least I always thought so.

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

What a finale to the weekend!! Thnx guys .. Rock N Roll Baby ❣️

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

The Stroke is also great! I was in high school.😁😘❤️💙💛🌻

[@Frau44]

We all sung this TOO LOUD!! So good!! Anthem!!!

[@gingeroo5765]

I continue to be pleasantly surprised at what you are checking out and loving along with the rest of us who experienced it the first time around.🥰

[@joannparker1977]

I heard that Billy Squire refused to do videos when MTV came around in the very early 80’s. I don’t know if that’s true, but I really liked him back then.

[@camillep3631]

Pentatonix singing Hallelujah or Daft Punk Medley or Bohemian Rhapsody...they will BLOW YOUR MIND when you discover their secret

[@rhigh100]

Billy Squire basically had the same problem that Prince did with the record company. He had more songs he wanted to put out but the record company wouldn't let him.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

One of my favorites ❤

[@markdeslauriers6549]

Got to see Billy in concert in the early/mid eighties. They were the backup band for Pat Benetar. Both bands were awesome.

[@Noelle0026]

I saw him with Pat in the 80s too! Killer concert!

[@jazzzman8050]

The lead guitarist here is Jeff Golub. After Billy’s career crashed, Golub went on to become a respected jazz guitarist, with at least 3 albums under his name : )

[@jalkabre5904]

Nice to see someone give Jeff some props.....great guitarist.

[@NoLegalPlunder]

A Marshall plus a Les Paul is my recipe for happiness.

[@seiraeiramasil2302]

This is a great song, I get how you like to do live videos of bands, it's a way to see the players and watch them do their thing, but sometimes it's better to just listen to the studio version first, so you can get an idea of how the song was intended to sound, live versions just don't always measure up, this wasn't too bad. Billy Squire has some other hits to check out like "Rock Me Tonight", "The Stroke", "My Kind Of Lover" and "Everybody Wants You", these all really rock. Thanks for this awesome reaction!

[@luckylisa5496]

George, loved your Van Halen comparison - I saw Billy open for Van Halen WAAAAY back in the early 80's - it was fantastic!

[@jenn795.]

I dont like it live unless im there i love going to conserts in the summer time best times ever WHO WENT TO THE US FESTIVAL BACK IN THE DAY

[@carollittle1059]

Rock On, Bros

[@ccrocker5284]

I have “The Stroke” on everything…that said, you’re seeing big guitars, big drums, lotsa feedback…Totes rock!

[@frankgidney9474]

Try Frank Marino live at The agora theater, Something coming out way. Or any of his other 15 albums of songs, most underrated guitarist ever.

[@laurenpeck3609]

The radio version has so much emotion to me...check it out

[@annemaclean6634]

I don't know too much about this guy, but that was pretty impressive, a really good rock song which I enjoyed very much. I see from Google that Billy Squier is an American rock musician and singer who had a string of arena rock and crossover hits in the early 1980s, and this particular song was released in 1981. Thanks so much for your reaction, guys, really enjoyed it as I always do. Incidentally, guys, don't think you've reacted to any heavy rock/metal music for a while, so how about Iron Maiden, Hallowed By Thy Name (1982) or Judas Priest, Victim of Changes (1976), or Black Sabbath (Ronnie James Dio as the vocalist) Heaven and Hell (1979). Studio versions preferably, to start with, just a few suggestions, guys! Take care, and stay safe.

[@jalkabre5904]

Check out more of Billy's work, he has some great songs. The "Don't say No" album has a bunch of great songs.

[@annemaclean6634]

@@jalkabre5904 Thanks for that, always enjoy checking out new music, well, new to me anyway!

[@dimedraweriv258]

Tell me that song couldn't have been on Physical Graffiti or Houses Of the Holy . Such a Zep feel.

[@todd8414]

In my opinion Emotion's In Motion is his best song.

[@timothycallahan253]

What’s up brother’s

[@barbmurray8557]

Being a twin I would love to see you switch seats and see if anyone notices

[@dannycasson1551]

Btw they’re both playing a Gibson Les Paul. The difference is one is a “Tobacco Sunburst.” the other is called a “Black Beauty.” Different colors.. Squire mainly plays rhythm guitar but who cares!

[@lydiabentley3413]

Dire straits performing live Romeo and Juliet

[@lockforlif55]

Check out some Great White

[@Angie-W]

I think the studio version is better, but this is good.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Bros.......I know you are too Keen on YES...but I have request for you that might appeal to your sensibilities....the song is from Yes's 1994 album from their own company album entitled, "Talk." the song I request for you two to react to is "The Calling." It is their opening song on the album. Check it out!!!! Fire!!!!

[@bargndigital8874]

Hi guys you should listen to some DR. HOOK great underrated band any song is great.

[@PrimitiveFilmGroup]

Please react to more U2. 1) Pride In the Name of Love 2) Running to Stand Still 3) Where the Streets Have No Name 4) All I Want Is You 5) I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For 6) Bad (Live Aid 1985)

[@bb-gc2tx]

just search reaction to overrated band for u 2 reaction videos lol

[@shauncronin3961]

Career killed by ripping a shirt

[@LS-wn5cd]

This guy would still probably be rockin, but and MTV killed him in a goofy video and he dropped off the planet. Too bad.

[@tidentrue]

Just don’t watch the “Rock me Tonight” video

[@anthonyv1719]

Talented guy whose career was killed by one of the worst videos of all time - could never recover from that unfortunately.

[@John-fv8sc]

This particular video is poor quality audio. You will appreciate it more with another vid.

Hell yeah rap is 💩💯

Original better....

[@cynthiajennings1160]

I like but Billy but not his dancing...

You know, I think that’s why vanished like he did. I always thought he was gay, but he had a huge female fan base.

[@antisoviet6786]

@@dannycasson1551 There was some kind of scandal with his video. Something about too much pink in it.
