CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE..| Loverboy - Turn Me Loose (Video) REACTION

[@tc5837]

Mike Reno = criminally underrated vocalist!

[@chriswildhaber35]

Agreed, very good voice.

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Dudes voice sends chills down my spine! Absolutely amazing!!! 🎙🎶

[@bothornton5246]

I think so, too. His duet, Almost Paradice, with Ann Wilson, is a piece of heaven.

[@leahdoerr731]

Ditto

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

YES!!!

[@jeffeckhard460]

Loverboy was a WAY underrated 80's band with lots of great songs. "Working for the Weekend" would definitely be the next song of theirs to react to.

[@AnthonyL0401]

The Kid is Hot Tonite is even better

[@biffbarely7045]

5 albums selling over 11 million units in US and Canada alone, in constant rotation for years on Mtv and radio, and Hall of Famers is underrated? What does one need to do to get rated anyway? 😁

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Everything is ON POINT with these guys... absolutely UNREAL! Time for me to go down the LoverBoy rabbithole! 👍🏽🍻

[@jennhurl]

"Lovin' Every Minute Of It" "Work'n For The Weekend" "When It's Over" That album cover in the red leather pants with his fingers crossed - fire! 🔥

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Great reaction ! "Lovin' Every Minute Of It" and "The Kid is Hot Tonight" are two of my favorites - out of the many good songs they have.

[@toniringer8237]

Yup..When it's Over, great song!

[@cynthiahoffmann5757]

Mike Reno(the singer) does a duet with Ann Wilson(the singer from Heart) called Almost Paradise. A great power ballad for the movie Footloose. Check it out!

[@lawrencemitchell5983]

I heard Almost Paradise on Satellite radio the other day, love that song....but I had forgotten that Mike Reno was the Loverboy front man. Powerful voice....man the 80's were fun.

Loverboy was a very popular 80's band from Vancouver, Canada. Mike Reno's vocals are absolutely INSANE. Working for the Weekend, This Could be the Night, and Almost Paradise (his duet with Ann Wilson from Heart for the Footloose movie) are ALL amazing songs to check out. There is another fantastic Canadian band called Triumph that you have to check out as well. Would love to see your reaction to their official video for Lay it On the Line. Can't remember if you've done it already.

[@chezsunset6131]

All great recommendations! I'm pretty sure though that Loverboy was from out west, not Ontario.

[@shericampbell-husband2528]

They were so fun in concert, even several years after the height of their popularity.

[@peppyd]

Loverboy was my first concert, April, 1982 in my hometown of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Bryan Adams was the opening act. It was a great show! You'll definitely have to do "Working for the Weekend" next

[@michaelasay8587]

Pep...saw Loverboy in 81 with Joan Jett and Journey

[@peppyd]

That must have been awesome!

[@julielynn10]

Bryan opened fir them?! Wild. He was my first concert in TO.

[@peppyd]

​@@julielynn10 At the time, no one had really heard of him. It was the "Cuts Like a Knife" album released the next year in 1983 when his career started to really take off. When "Reckless" came out in 1984, it sent his career through the stratosphere!

[@paulsheedy4650]

This is one of my fave early 80's tunes. Love it when the guitar kicks in, and the bass is awesome. And I'm singing along again.😁📀👍🎶❤️

This is one of my favorite bands! My brother who past away from cancer would listen to this band. He past away in 1989 he was 21. I have this in my car listing to it today!

[@philjones45]

Back in 1982 I was in my first year at Art college. We were on a bus to Liverpool and I was sat next to a quiet kid called John Fish. He had a Walkman, a device I'd not seen before and I asked if I could try them. He handed it over, and I was blown away by the quality of the sound. They seemed magical, amazing bass sound and this drum sound I'd not heard before. I was mesmerised and asked him who the band was. He said Loverboy, a band I'd not heard of, and this quiet kid, who nobody talked to was listening to them. I'll never forget John Fish, the Walkman or Loverboy. I don't know what happened to John Fish, and I never got to own a 'real' Walkman, but I did go and buy a Loverboy album the next day. Their sound was never as good as that day on the bus, so can I recommend you listen to Loverboy on some great headphones. And if John Fish is reading this, thanks John, it's one of those great memories that is precious to me.

[@joelex7966]

Lover boy was hugely popular during 1981-83,, they didn't fall through it was just a long time ago. You could argue that they were under rated but there was so much good music during that era that it was hard to stand out

[@kimbarry4674]

Another great underrated Canadian band

[@dougclark7077]

Love this song. I like the album version even better which is about two minutes longer. It is a shame that this song did not do better on the Hot 100 where it peaked at #35. Mike Reno has said that the record label refused to keep promoting the song. Had it done so, it quite possibly could have been a Top 10 hit. My sister developed COVID in September, and became seriously ill. Things were looking bad for her, and I decided to try and cheer her up by texting her songs from Loverboy and Journey. She began to turn the corner, and after three weeks in the hospital and rehab, she was able to go home. She said that these songs, along with lots of prayers, pulled her through. I wish that I could get in touch with both of these bands and tell them personally how grateful I am that their music made a difference in someone's life.

This brings back memories. In high school I was the weird guy who like classical music, marches, Klezmer and other unusual things but this is a song that all my friends had on the radio, cassettes (no CDs yet) and even 8 tracks. Now, in the last decade, I have finally come to appreciate the music of my youth. I appreciated the instrumentals and singing of this one long before I even bothered to listen to the lyrics. I still don't have much use for the music of modern youth, however.

Sadly, on 30 November 2000, Scott Smith was sailing his boat, the 11-metre (36-foot) Sea Major, with two friends off the coast of San Francisco near the Golden Gate Bridge, when a large wave swept him overboard. Searches conducted by the Coast Guard and a private company hired by friends and family were unsuccessful. Smith was pronounced missing presumed dead, lost at sea. In 2001 Ken "Spider" Sinnaeve, a former member of The Guess Who, Red Rider and Dean and Frenette's pre-Loverboy band Streetheart, joined the band on bass. RIP Scott!

When you are 16 (barely) and hear it on the radio twice one day, and then, wander into the mall on the way home from school, head over to the record store and buy the album. Then you are home, and turn on your ridiculously large stereo, with the very fancy record player, and watch as the stylus settles softly between tracks, and then, 4 huge speakers shout into existence and the neighbours all get a chance to listen to Turn Me Loose when it first came out in Canada! Long hair was a fun time lol.
