Mr. Big - To Be With You REACTION

[@JayveeTV]

I have 3 more to post after this then I'm done

[@kerryn6714]

Fantastic! Thanks Jay ✌️🇦🇺😘

That's a lot for 1 day!

Don’t worry, what you do is so welcomed. Rest my friend.

[@jonesaundre3]

Eric Martin was a criminally underrated vocalist.

[@sandramolina7919]

I totally agree. Such a beautiful voice. So unique.Extremely talented.

[@Van1973Auken]

One of the most underrated guitarists of the 20th century, Paul Gilbert.

[@codyburton4348]

He’s #4 in top ten shredders of all time in guitar one mag

[@Shiby23]

I think underrated is more so lack of exposure. Paul gets his props from the dedicated guitarists. The majority of people don't know or care about technical guitarists. Great musician tho.

[@Van1973Auken]

@Shiby23 Well stated! I am fully on board with that statement.

[@hibhibb5429]

This song never ever gets old! Eric Martin's voice is AWESOME!!!! Unfortunately, the drummer passed away from complications to Parkinson's (2018). RIP Pat!!

[@xRinzx]

Yes to every single one of these!

[@jameslawson2663]

Mr Big came in at a bad time, the hairbands decade feast fizzling out fast and people were all wanting to hear the new Grung bands like Pearl Jam. I agree they were very talented, the party was already over though when they got there.

[@bzeefs3]

This is good perspective. I was young when this came out and didn't realize the timing aspect of this song and band. This song is undeniably catchy and that singer is wildly talented. I always wondered why they never amounted to much.

[@bkj2890]

Exactly. I remember being disappointed that they didn’t blow up like some other, less talented bands. Just bad timing.

[@heathermorton3517]

This song takes me back!! I'm feeling some 'High Enough' from Damn Yankees. Where my Gen X peeps?

[@Alex-bs4md]

Shred legend Paul Gilbert on guitar. This band was a victim of Nirvana, this song hit pretty much right when hair metal got taken over by grunge

[@qsez]

Yes, and bass legend Billy Sheehan!

[@justinabajian1087]

Nirvana was just so good and it was high time for a change. Hair bands had a long run.

[@kathyjam2482]

I loved this song.

[@horsefootrot8044]

Hahaha yeah this and Green Limousine The Badloves remind of Brisbane!!

[@ClaireDeLune12]

Me too!

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

oh gosh, me too! That 80's hair was to die for!

[@zerotolerance9829]

It was that rasp in the voice!

[@julie11307]

This is one of my all-time favourite songs. I can go a long, long time without hearing it, and still know the words from memory. That guy can sing!

[@kathrinepearson7528]

You don't hear pure voice like this much anymore.

[@Nerd_of_Anarchy]

After More Than Words I KNEW this would be coming along sooner than later

[@timsmith1278]

Yeah.... A BETTER MAN by THUNDER, is another of 'that type', although somewhat lesser known.

[@Nerd_of_Anarchy]

@@timsmith1278 They never made it to this side of the pond. But I'll give them a listen

[@timsmith1278]

@@Nerd_of_Anarchy Yeah, not properly - apparently, they did do 5 shows in the US, during September/October 1991 and a few in Canada, too, around that time (and 3 in 1993), but nothing over there since. It's quite well documented in the British rock press, that Thunder were all set to tour the US in 1992, but then 'grunge' happened, and the tour was immediately cancelled - they obviously never really had another chance. If anything, the band are only known in the US (if at all), for DIRTY LOVE, which featured a certain Pamela Anderson in the promo video.

[@Nerd_of_Anarchy]

"Oh man - they've got me clapping..!" 😂😂😂

[@heyhuey4429]

"Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" rocks out. Paul Gilbert can play.

[@misterflibble9799]

It's a good song, but to me, the guitar riff just seems too complicated. It feels like someone trying to out-do Sweet Child o' Mine, but ending up making something that's just too elaborate.

[@woodch]

It's too bad Mr. Big's first big hit was this one, since that's what they're most widely known for now. They have a pretty large catalog, a very interesting history, and they can PLAY. Check out live stuff and check out Paul Gilbert in particular to have your face melted clean off with guitar amazingness. Good songs to check out in no particular order: Stay Together Take Cover Just Take My Heart Rock n Roll Over Lucky This Time

[@burtreynolds2969]

@@misterflibble9799 It's not actually super hard to play. Once you get it down, it's fun. I think it's one of the coolest riffs out there.

[@leebassa1545]

Omg.... LOVE Eric Martin! And what a voice!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@CrayzMark]

Mr. Big deserves those props. Find myself singing along every time I hear it. Beautiful song from them. Good reaction bro 💯💯

[@juliogeo2010]

This is pure gold!!! 💖

[@donnamorrison4837]

Ahhhh the memories..l was only 29 when this song came out...loved it then and love it now !!

[@SarahFromCanada]

This used to play on Much Music in Canada all the time back in the day.

[@frenkli9815]

I remember! That’s where I heard it from!

[@discodawn]

My most favorite karaoke song, because everyone claps along 😂

[@lanamartin9107]

Classic these guys were great!

[@shannonhedden]

This is my favorite song from my teens, it's why I suggested it because at a time when it was all the rage to be the skinny girl it gave this busty girl hope and a little self esteem boost that there is someone out there for everyone...even if you looked like Dolly Parton. 😁

[@bigdaddycool6930]

Same here!! (Username is a stupid long running joke lol I’m a woman) as a girl with an hourglass shape growing up during the “heroin chic” era in the 90s I always felt less than the skinny girls. Loved this song though. Made me feel like someone out there would think I was beautiful.

[@debrasimmons2682]

Can’t believe you are playing them Love Mr Big !! Great song When music was pure talent

[@remohio]

Devo - Whip It

[@kerryn6714]

Excellent request!

[@cocod594]

Never heard of them but love what I’m heariing!

[@deesee3622]

first heard them on a Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack cd lol

[@bgm9517]

I'd personally recommend their third album "Bump Ahead" as well as the "Lean into it" album.

[@stebaker7736]

Gotta love the reaction to the first 10 seconds of this. "Oooo".... "Oh"...... "Oooohhhhh"....Clap along. Brilliant!

[@marikka9347]

I would recommend their song Just Take My Heart. They also did a lovely cover of Cat Stevens Wild World. I know, it is hard to not clap along with the song. They were bigger in Japan than the states. A lot of people likely remember the song, but not the band as they just did not get much radio play. The only caveat to this seems to be the bassist, Billy Sheehan. Maybe because he was in David Lee Roth's band prior to this, so was better known? He is still a well respected bassist.

[@misterflibble9799]

Yeah, love Just Take My Heart. Possibly their best song.

[@malarija83]

They were also kinda big in Europe, they were on TV all the time. Love them!

[@sassymessmess9110]

Love the guy's voice.

[@sashabertold3731]

When I see u reacting to these songs, it reminds me how I felt seeing a new video like this for the first time on MTV. Just good music!!!!

[@hansmeyer8926]

what a nice song. today with this voice he would be a megastar

[@anoldfogeysfun]

Mr Big were a British rock/pop band starting in the 1970's . . . their best known song here in the UK I'd say was, "Romeo" - reaching No 4 in the charts and staying in it for about 10 weeks or so . . . it is also worth a listen to for its vocals as well by the way, Jay . . .

[@juliebowness3299]

Still one of my favourites

[@Tinaf653]

Wrong Mr Big, lol! This one is an American rock group. 😊

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

I really hope you don't ever apologize for expanding your mind and taste to older music. For example, this song is pure collaborative talent, that's it. A rarity in todays music in my opinion. A couple of instruments, and a huge raw voice with great back up harmonies. For me, it puts a smile on my face and yes that may be corny, but it's memories, they can last a lifetime! Just enjoy :)

[@shesingsalldaylong8737]

Ps. Please do John Denver's " Calypso " & " Thank God I'm a Country Boy" Much love & thanks!

"Wild World" is a good song. It's a cover of a Cat Stevens song.

[@youtpfpm6097]

It is always amazing to see that hard rock bands can do some of the best ballads.

[@hectorfernandez5542]

There's an album that came out in the 90's called Bad Boy Ballads. It included this song and others like Livin' on a Prayer, and More than Words...
