REO Speedwagon - Time For Me To Fly (REACTION)

[@BigTimeRushFan2112]

This is one of the coolest break up tunes of all time!

[@julieholbrook5302]

This album came out in 1978. Written and recorded in the 70's. No synths. The mixing was tape recorded over on itself.

[@willblood7082]

This song instantly transports me back to 1978, my freshman year in college 😀

[@Denise-t4z]

For me it was Jr high school. Those were great times.

[@suesebree8670]

Me too...

[@cosmiccowboy7764]

One of the best pop rock bands in the 70’s

[@324cmac]

There were so many good bands and singers of all types back then.

[@KerryThomas-f5i]

Roll With The Changes Live! Must listen to!

[@BROU-bb2uc]

And back on the road again 🤘

[@alistaircrowley9442]

REO Speedwagon is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Shameful!

[@neillenet291]

That's why it's the rock and roll hall of shame

[@peterbarelli6104]

No way WOW

[@suesebree8670]

R&R HOF is a joke.

[@michaeltveten8458]

They should’ve made a “rap” album….

[@rickclark8657]

They are too busy putting in non-rock ‘n’ roll acts👎🏻

[@ronparsons8786]

Roll With the Changes!!

[@KerryThomas-f5i]

Open the REO Speedwagon catalog!

[@larryh.5229]

RIP Gary Richrath. underrated guitarist 👍👍

[@kevinmarker-cz3bx]

It's the pain, he relates. He wants a relationship. She wants to play head games. Life is to short for head games. I feel him.

[@luckylisa5496]

Waaaaay back in 1982 we used the title "Time for Me to Fly" as our senior class motto. Certainly fitting. This album was the bomb in1982! Thanks for the memories :-)

[@tonygreene3941]

Richrath makes any song rock, always loved his stuff.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Thank you. During this era…We All Owned This Album!

[@FrankBigDawgHatton]

I saw them at Kings Island way back when.

[@RaLeaChaddle-kq9gi]

One of the GREATS..entire band that is!!!!🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴😊😊

[@deannacrownover3]

This song takes me directly back to the first kisses and beaches and Camaro vs Nova! It's been a minute!

[@rick5440]

Best breakup song ever. Even makes it sound kickass.

[@thorzzz1z]

the way you guys break down songs, keeps me coming back

[@karlschmitt6359]

Dave Amato has been their lead guitarist for a long time, but Gary Richrath is the guitarist I listened to from 1970 to 1989. He left in 1989, but sadly passed in September of 2015. REO has been a big part of my life and in my top 10 favorite bands.

[@GetBackJoe1969]

I call this song “the best REO song no one’s ever heard” lol I have to give you the biggest Thanks. It’s always my first REO recommendation for years now and so far I’ve never seen anyone react to it. Until now. Now you have given me a gift. I had never heard this live version before WOW.🤯 It’s a deep cut because they have got a lot of Hits.

[@charlottedixon6628]

I seen REO many moons ago.❤ RIP Gary Richrath.🎸😪

[@jackmandu]

*I saw REO, not I seen.

One of the best breakup songs of the era! I lived it. ❤

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love it. What a great album. I'm glad you caught the irony in the album title with the image. But I also like the interpretation of hey man we're going to catch that fish one way or the other with our music!

[@josephrodgers3119]

When this song and album came out.... the girls were just eating this up. Miss those days.

[@mattsmith8901]

Great backing vocals, beautiful acoustic guitar, great guitar solo.

[@WoodsintheBurg94]

My number 2 all time favorite song! Many great memories associated with this song.

[@324cmac]

When I saw the title, I didn't recognize it. But as soon as the singer started, it brought back the memories. A very moving song. Love it!

[@ginapurpura1182]

yes, it’s a great one!

[@sallyhart3044]

This whole album was on replay in our house. Good memories of all ofus singing along together. 😊

[@atticusfinch4687]

You Can Tune a Piano but You Can't Tuna Fish.... But you can play the Scales!

[@chrisw3421]

Sounds like a current "Country" music song...that's why I call today's country, diet Rock

[@324cmac]

Yup. The music that's been called 'country' for the last few decades has been so watered down, it's unrecognizable. I like some of the real old-time country artists like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Johnny Cash.

[@1Hiprascal]

Good one. I'd like a diet rock with my McMusic, to go please.

[@bjmcmahon722]

Kinda, yes.....🎶 🎵

[@tommythompson9565]

One of the best escalating rock songs ever produced. As La said, when the drums came in ... And a great rock song, period. We loved singing along to this one back in the day. Especially the last part.

[@phantomrockerr]

My Favorite from these guys.

[@ML-un1oi]

Great song!! Excellent reaction, fellas !❤😊👏

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

Another one of the most underrated bands of all time! Huge success in the early and mid 80s but I love their entire 70s catalog!

[@markymark6088]

Golden Country, live version. Richrath kicks ass

[@georgekininmonth2070]

Give "Roll with the Changes" a listen. A banger!

[@paxonearth]

Didn't they already react to that?

[@plmkasap]

R E O - Rock Energy Overload

[@StuartBearden]

Junior in high school when this came out,saw them in concert same year 😊

[@StuartBearden]

Take it on The Run, please

[@lindalatimer5350]

This was our class song in 1980

[@dukegrafton643]

Greetings from the Great White North 🇨🇦 One of my favourite album covers of all time!

[@keelsmac01]

I saw them live about 7 or so yrs ago…they were just as good as they were in the 70s! Thanks guys!

[@chrisoakley5830]

They had a rockin' song called, Don't Let Him Go.

[@freebirdtony]

The lip-dub video of "Roll With The Changes" is the best way to react to the song. You'll appreciate it much more by checking out Kevin Cronin on vocals and keyboard, Gary Richrath on lead guitar and Neal Doughty also on keyboard.

[@Jamesd1861]

Yep remember this one when it hit the airwaves… I was feeling the pain and frustration of the lyrics… Lived it, guys y’all are bringing it More SKYNYRD Please 👍👍

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Keep Pushin' Boys!

[@ta2gypsy]

You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish & High Infidelity BOTH great albums

[@suesebree8670]

REO 2 is my favorite

[@kennedyredlands]

REO has been a favorite since the 80's for me! "Roll with the changes" LIVE from the 1980's is my favorite :)

[@freebirdtony]

1978

[@jamesnorrisbarrett8927]

Always loved the iterations of guitar tone that evolve as the song goes on

[@CJ-Fischer]

You guys should really do a reaction to James Gang “Live at Carnegie Hall” 1971. It is right up your alley man! You’ll enjoy the shit out of it I promise!!

[@richdiana3663]

My favorite of theirs. Good pick.😊

[@arthurwoodson288]

Check out Keep On Rolling, & from their live album Riding the Storm Out & Golden Country. Great Live band, they always deliver.

[@roadkill7314]

I always was a big fan of Kevin's phrasing and delivery. Saw the live a couple of times; they were great showmen. What a fabulous time to grow up in. One more thing for millennials to envy us for! I'm not going to mention how much we paid for tickets. By the way it's an old dad joke: What's the difference between a fish and a piano?

[@helenespaulding7562]

This is the best driving song ever. Except with that chorus, I want the car to FLY too! 😁✌️

[@membysteph64]

Great reaction gentleman this brings back some sad and happy memories. Keep up the great job La/Che

[@BigC.]

One of my favorites.

[@kengunter6903]

Golden Country Live next please!!!!

[@GetBackJoe1969]

Hi- Infidelity (Album) was their creative peak. No doubt they set the tone for the power ballads of the 80s One of my first vinyls from back in the day. love every song. The range of songs and another singer for one song will blow your mind.

[@SalSaldana123]

You guys are always on the money

[@johnthegreek5836]

Definitely a 80’s rock ballad

[@karlgiandomenico6005]

Kevin Cronin has that voice that when u hear u absolutely know it's REO Speedwagon

[@pmv1969]

Love your Kings gear! I live in Sacramento!

[@nelliejewell2665]

Golden Country, please- early REO is so good.

[@scott_celt]

the greatest breakup song ever

[@twobeer3316]

When I was stationed overseas in the military (3 times), we would go to all the clubs on our last night in country (like we did every night) and request this song. We would sing along with all our might. We would party like it was 1999 !!! Good times. Lol

[@LisaS-n3t]

Not from the 80’s, it came out my senior year, 1978. REO was a favorite band.

[@bennymartinez5532]

Saw this band way back.

[@pollynicklas5220]

We had some random dude stick his head in our car to listen to this song. It was cranked up on a decent stereo system - this was about 1981 btw!

[@thorzzz1z]

one of the best Album covers ever

[@woodyheywood8792]

The Wagon....great band

[@FrankPerkins-dd2cb]

Kevin Cronin on vocals. Gary Richrath on lead guitar.

[@waitn4theharpazo]

One of my favorites by REO Speedwagon. Catchy album title...You can tune a piano but you can't Tuna fish. Love it! Would you consider giving a listen to Lee Michaels "do you know what I mean". Thanks guys!

[@destinyreelly2974]

Best breakup song ever. ❤❤❤

[@ginapurpura1182]

Totally!

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

[@charlesallison146]

Their album " High Infidelity " is truly one of the greatest albums...

[@KennyCamaro2364]

Very laid back REO song..

[@dannycasson1551]

Definitely in the running for the all time best album title! This group was instrumental (excuse the pun) during the 80's music era. I've come to really appreciate the decade of the 80's more and more as I watch all these reactions. I was in my 20's during that time and probably took it a little for granted. Not anymore!

[@CJ-Fischer]

Be cool to react to REO “Riding The Storm Out” the live version 😅

[@paxonearth]

Until I was adult I always thought he was saying "enough of the jealousy and the ENTIRE DURATION."

[@donholl]

Me: "What's an 'intahburation'?" (disclaimer: I've mis-heard many lyrics - since childhood).

[@douglasg.9271]

[@chrissimon9879]

You might want to check out Say You Love Me Or Say Goodnight from this same album.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

I will never understand how this song was picked to be my 8th grade graduation song, probably because it was the most popular that year🫤🤔

Talk about a feel good breakup song. The harmonies were off the chain.
