April Wine was a staple on 70’s FM rock radio in Canada! They were on heavy rotation with RUSH, Triumph, Toronto, Max Webster, Prism, Trooper, Harlequin and Lover Boy. All great guitar heavy Canadian rock bands.

[@LiberalsArePoop]

Battlescar from Max Webster (with Geddy Lee guest vocals) is a classic. After that, you might as well go for soda!

[@FarrellMcGovern]

@@LiberalsArePoop Actually, all of both bands played on it. Track 9 Max Webster BATTLESCAR from the album UNIVERSAL JUVENILES Kim Mitchell - guitar, vocals Geddy Lee - bass, vocals Alex Lifeson - guitar Dave Myles - bass Neil Peart - drums Terry Watkinson - drums Pye Dubois - lyrics

[@wendyb5528]

@Steve Hora Yessssssss this is I think the first time I have noticed someone mention "Max Webster"!!!!!!!! Such an amazing band. The first time I saw them live was when they used to open for Rush. Everytime they played in my neck of the woods,,,"Toronto",,,, I made sure I was there. Such a brilliant band. Actually all the bands you have listed in your comment, takes me back to a super fun time, with no worries, just relaxing with a joint being passed around and listening to some amazing music. I wouldnt change a of that time either. You missed one band that was right up there with the others..." CONEY HATCH" . Kim Mitchell actually helped them get on their feet way back then and what a hit they were. Thanks for reminding me of a much happier, stress free time in my life and several other fellow Canadians, I can imagine.

I'l agree! I'm ashamed because I worked from Camelot Music/FYE for almost 3 decades. When it was Camelot Music 3 bands I was curious about but never listened to were Mahogany Rush, Michael Stanley Band and April Wine. On a sleepless night I decided to listen to Michael Stanley Band, pretty good Then I listened to April Wine and I was floored. How could I have missed this band! As far a Canadian Bands I liked the BTO, Heart, Guess Who, RUSH, Triumph and later Loverboy and Honeymoon Suite. Bryan Adams, like Loverboy were all over MTV. April Wine's Classic FM Rock sound is so cool. I guess better late than never.

As you know, Rush is also from Canada, and I'm not sure if you've reacted to the song yet, but Limelight was recorded in the same studio, and there's a video of it. The studio, LeStudio no longer exists, a fire took most of it down in 2017, but there was a ton of great music recorded there. Artists loved the studio because, as you can see in this video, it was like a retreat. Others who recorded there were The Police, Bee Gees, Chicago, David Bowie, and Cat Stevens.

"You Won't Dance With Me " and "I Wouldn't Want To Lose Your Love" are another side of their catalogue. Many other songs to hear "You Could Have Been a Lady" have a listen to more Canadian artists like this

If you notice this video was filmed in the same Studio in Canada that the Rush Tom Sawyer video was filmed in. Look out through the window and it's the same. :) It went out of business and fell into disrepair. I heard it was sold and torn down a few years back but in the day it was a famous studio.

I was fortunate to have an older brother who was a teen in the 70s. He was a MAJOR influence on music I love to this day. April Wine was ONE of the many bands that he introduced me to. That solo at the end was actually a riff of Rolling stones that they used in the song to pay homage to them.

[@alrivers2297]

The riff at the end is the Rolling Stones Satisfaction and The Beatles Daytripper played at the same time.

These guys were huge in the late 70's to early 80's. "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" is my favorite song from them. It's a cover from an obscure Canadian singer but it is their best song in my opinion.

Then they lay the riff from this song over the other two.*

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

I am close to your age. I was 24 in 1979 (close enough). April Wine was a guitar band. If you are into guitar bands from the Seventies you certainly must know about the Outlaws. I have been trying to get this channel to react to this band from the Seventies for quite some time now. It does not have to be GGHT either. In fact, any of their shorter songs would do. Yet they have done Skynyrd song after Skynyrd song. I actually preferred the Outlaws guitar work over LS. And LS killed it on guitars.

Love April Wine, nice to see ongoing appreciation for them. There's a band from Canada I haven't seen anyone react to thus far that you would both really like. They've been working since the 90's and are still pumping out some of the hardest driving rock and roll on the planet. Just saw them last week and my ears still are working thru things. Headstones! Earlier suggestions When Something Stands For Nothing, Unsound or Reframed. Newer stuff Devils on Fire, Horses. These guys are really something special and have a unique energy surrounding them.

Would love to see you guys do a CANCON (Canadian Content) week. As a Canadian and College Radio DJ, I could help with suggestions! 🇨🇦☮

I love the Beatles day tripper riff at the end. Nice touch.

[@rorybolkan1733]

Do their song "Just Between You and Me"

April Wine has been one of my favourite bands since I was a kid, back in the 70's. Finally got to see them live in 1980...promoting this very same Album, Harder Faster (backup band was Red Rider). RIP bassist, Steve Lang.

[@JustDarrenJ]

If you listen closely as the song trails away, you can hear one of the guitarists playing "Day Tripper", and another playing "Satisfaction"...so cool!

[@Montyhugo]

When this song first came out and was played on our local FM Rock station, my brother would sing "I like too Rock! I like it! Hugh likes it!🤗 Underrated band for sure!

[@Richter647]

Did you notice the music on the outro? Listen to it closely. The musicians are playing three different song riffs from three different bands at the same time starting at 6:17. One guitar is playing "Day Tripper" by the Beatles, another guitar is playing "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, while the bass player and the other guitar are playing the original song riff from "I Like To Rock" by April Wine. And it all fits perfectly.

[@todvball]

Glad y'all jumped on this one RobSquad! I think a few other "reacters" need to hear this one. Good on stereo!!! Canadian, too. "Journey to the Stars!!!"

[@sheila1965troubles]

RIP Miles Goodwin, your contribution to rock and rock will never be forgotten. So many good times when I was a teenager partying and listening to the masterful "The Nature of the Beast" album with my friends, 🤘🖤

[@danadnauseam]

Bass by Steve Lang. The band was formed in Nova Scotia and spent most of their career based in Montreal.

[@EDMDoc]

From my hometown of Dartmouth Nova Scotia. These guys were a staple and saw them live more times than I can remember.

[@bobfranzwa3014]

Recorded at Le Studio in Montreal . RUSH, Triumph and others also used this place to record some of their biggest albums. Sadly, it has been abandoned and fallen into serious disrepair.

[@cblanton42]

You gotta do Sign of the Gypsy Queen!! Or Crash and Burn! or Just between you and me! or... ANYTHING from these guys. One of my favorite groups!

[@ronnelson7828]

Pat Travers "Boom, Boom, Out Go The Lights" should be next on your list of Canadian Rocker Classics!! Guaranteed you will love it!

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Oh, Yessssss... 70s rock takes u back to a raw, carefree and phenomenal time. Thanx for the amazing memories. Take care, stay groovy, Peace

[@rick5440]

Sing of the Gypsy Queen is fantastic, has a darker feel to it. Its a cover, but its awesome.

[@switchfoot8702]

Love April Wine, underrated Rock band who can light it up! All musicians are top notch, excellent video, thank you.

[@RonnieAcheson]

Hi Guys, love, love your reactions, just a note on this video, lead singer for April Wine, Myles Goodwyn has died this past Sunday dec 3rd in his hometown of Halifax Nova Scotia. Sad day for fans of this veteran Canadian rock band.

[@ShawnLangford]

Crazy amount of hits... At least in Canada.

[@MsLoriGold]

New subbie from 🇨🇦!!! April Wine ❤️🎼🍇🍾🎸❤️ a Canadian treasure. So cool to see the ‘younger generation’ appreciating this era of music. Thank you!!! ❤️ When I was 15, which is 46 years ago - yikes! My Sister and I saw them in concert and the next day we were flying to visit our Grandparents. I was floored when I saw the band Baird the same flight. And so, I surreptitiously approached the Singer Myles Goodwyn on the way to the washroom and asked him for his autograph and he obliged. I was stoked! I was thrilled. Sadly, Myles Goodwyn passed away ❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️ on December 3, 2023. What a loss, but his voice will live on through his music. Rest In Peace Myles Goodwin. April Wine will still be continuing to play. Mr. Goodwyn recently retired from touring with the band in earlier 2023 and endorsed the band member who will be doing the lead singing. The line up is different but is keeping up the music we Canadians love. They have many accolades here in Canada and they are a beloved part of Canada’s music history. Love your responses and keep on rockin’! ❤️🎼❤️

[@1gdf1972]

It’s amazing April Wine is on tour right now. Great band from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

[@wendyb5528]

Hey to the cutest couple on KZbin!! Since you have done a bit of April Wine, they did another song that is much faster and gets your feet going, is called "Wanna Rock". It is a great song and a lot of fun. They are fellow Canadians like myself and had put out a lot of music in the 70's. This one song is one of my favs so I hope you give it a listen, I think you will like it. Keep doing what you are doing. I check your channel every day. I truly enjoy your reactions. You are very open and honest and true to yourselves. And you say at the end of your reactions to make someone smile,,,,, well you are for sure making this Canadian girl smile everyday... So thank you and you are appreciated. 😁😁❤❤

Check out "Oowatanite" by April Wine. I was in Jr. High when this song came out and I remember the school cautioning us students on the dangers of stealing the alarm bells. Seems this song caused a problem of people stealing fire bells. The 70's were a crazy time to be sure.

[@philsigman9088]

Fun fact, they filmed their video at the same location as Rush filmed "Tom Sawyer".

[@ronaldswantek6344]

The first radio station to play this Canadian rock band's music in the U.S. was near my hometown in Flint, Michigan. Also my first concert!

[@JustDarrenJ]

Drums - Jerry Mercer, Bass - Steve Lang, Guitar and Lead vocals - Myles Goodwyn, Lead Guitar - Gary Moffett, Lead Guitar - Brian Greenway.

[@nicholaspatton1742]

April Wine has whole albums that debuted as hits, every song.

[@joerenaud8292]

April Wine band is from Dartmouth Nova Scotia Canada, one of the far eastern provinces. It looks like a large peninsula east of the mainland of the Quebec province before you get to the mouth of the St. Lawrence seaway into Canada/US great lakes. You might want to check out another April Wine song that did fairly well on the charts called, "Sign of the Gypsy Queen", it's very catchy and even mysterious.

[@aprilwine132]

I discovered them in 1980. Saw them in concert in Fresno California Great show.

[@wpawson]

I'm glad that they are appriciated. They had a lot of great hits in Canada and hopefully world wide.

[@T-ShirtMagic]

Canadians Love you Guys and have always Loved to Rock! A must see/hear live performance clip: *April Wine - Comin Right Down On Top Of Me/Rock N' Roll is a Vicious Game (Live)*

[@rossnannauck9221]

Saw them in concert twice, they were amazing both times. I love the way your both so open to all kinds of music. Another great group you should listen to is Blackfoot.

[@davekozlowski2789]

Start with Train Train

[@christopherbarnett6098]

I've seen this band live. It was about 1979 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. Great night. Peace to all.

[@danbowe8353]

The 70s was the time of rock. You should have been in the concert audience. It was a spiritual experience with the band. I suggest Let It Ride by Bachman-Turner Overdrive And these guys Living Colour - Cult Of Personality

[@darrenwinter8616]

Jerry the drummer born in Newfoundland but Montreal based. Myles the singer and one of the lead guitarists is from Nova Scotia. The bass and other lead players are from Ontario, and Quebec. In 1976 I was hired to help the lighting tech set up and tear down. I took in the show and let’s just say I could not be trusted tearing down after what was in my young life my best concert experience.

[@rowauthority]

Hey Guys. About a month ago (6 weeks?) April Wine did their final show at a little bar, in the small town of Truro, Nova Scotia .... where they started. I had forgotten how many great songs they gave us over the years. Thanks for the reminder.

[@jimmy-et1pm]

These guys are the REAL DEAL. They also play great ballads..

[@neilpratt5937]

They are set up in the same studio as Rush when they did Tom Sawyer. Le Studio in Quebec I believe.

[@geraldhartley]

At 6:16 you might not have noticed that they intentionally weave in TWO of the biggest Rock riffs of the 60's! The first is Day Tripper by the Beatles, followed by Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones... then the "I Like To Rock" main riff joins back in, and they all work together as a harmonious tribute to Rock and Roll until they fade out.

[@jessicasamuels9767]

Christine McVie passed away this morning. Please do Fleetwood Mac's Songbird. Her voice is so beautiful in this song. I think you would both love it. RIP Christine

[@scottabernethy7530]

“Just between you and me” Arguably the first Rock Power Ballad that launched the wave of 80’s hair band ballads

[@francisseidel8014]

An excellent rock power ballad but I would argue that the first rock power ballad to make it was Styx's Lady. It was written in 1971 but the label wouldn't put it on their first album because they didn't know how to place it in a genre. Put on Styx II and released, it didn't chart until years later in 1975 when Chicago's WLS (biggest AM radio station in the US) played it every night at 8pm until it was a hit. That song and radio station's effort made rock power ballads a new genre acceptable on mainstream radio. IMHO

[@scottabernethy7530]

@@francisseidel8014 love hurts my Nazareth could be considered too but that was a cover. Lady and Styx are amazing and still kill it live

[@j1974f]

Great reaction! “You Could Have Been a Lady” and “Roller” are a couple of good April Wine songs!

[@brianturbide2512]

Rock Myself To Sleep is one of my favorite April Wine songs!!!!!
