Summer of 69 Bryan Adams Father and Son Reaction!

[@lisamorrison2149]

A Canadian classic!! Ethan: "A better version of Springsteen"...lmao. check out "Run To Me", "Cuts Like A Knife", and "Heaven" to name a few. He's still touring and is a real gem.💎

[@cherylreichardt]

There you are! Hi Lisa! Yep Bryan is your fellow Canadian! Loved that whole album and so many swooned over him!

[@generoberts9151]

“Better than Springsteen”. Yeah I’m with you Ethan and you could actually understand what he’s singing. Springsteen mumbles.

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

Hey Lisa .. sorry I didn't get back with you on ur last comment to me. Still under the weather & it slipped my mind. Hope u r doing better than me?

[@cherylreichardt]

I had fun too! Went to concerts!

[@vibingwithvinyl]

This song is one of those that seems to be about something but is actually about something else. Summer of... "69" *giggles*

[@timwhitnell7145]

I never thought about the title that way all these years. It's still about teen nostalgia and the cultural watershed year of 1969.

[@vibingwithvinyl]

@@timwhitnell7145 It seems YT decided to delete my reply. Anyway, the song has always been about nostalgia for me as well, but Bryan Adams has stated on several occasions that it has a sexual meaning. Tbf, I prefer the nostalgia point of view.

[@justinquamme916]

Hey yall! This is a classic catchy song!! Thanks for coming to hang out

[@jvmonte6638]

I always considered Bryan Adams, Canada’s answer to Bruce Springsteen. Great song and reaction. Check out “Run to You” also by Adams. Peace and love from Toronto!

[@davemac1197]

Run To You is undoubtedly his best song, and from the same album. Problem (of which song to do next) solved!

Awesome roller skating song. Every Saturday night, I was at the skating rink zipping around in circles to artists like Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Europe, Cinderella, and much more. Thanks for the nostalgia. Glad Ethan enjoyed it.

This is one of those songs that just never gets old for me, man so good! :)

[@tapanim6576]

Bryan Adams is brilliant. He has had so many great hit songs over the years. His four US number 1 songs are "Heaven", "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", "All For Love (with Rod Steward and Sting)" and "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman".

[@generoberts9151]

Yeah, “Run to You” is a good one. Personally I never heard more than the radio songs. Can’t comment on the album as a whole.

Hi Gene. Yes, same here. Only know the radio songs, and the MTV videos.

[@paulr.3220]

I know that I am way behind but it is still fun to watch Father and Son reactions. The Summer of '69 was my last summer before my high school senior year. I wasted it water skiing, swimming, boating, and barbecuing. "best days of my life"? Maybe.

[@SuperNovaForTheBlind15]

B Adams gets a lot of air time on the radio , it’s like a familiar land mark , he tells a great story not just repeating the same line over & over , he tells a story & Yes Ethan your spot on about Springsteen , Adams has a very pleasant voice , Springsteen sounds like he’s laboring on the toilet 🚽 in some songs , Great call Ethan, B Adams is like taking a roll in the hay with a fat girl , you don’t tell anyone that you did ! Your blessed to have such a wonderful & Bright Son Larry & Ethan it is of course Poooooolllllllllleeee THURSDAY!!!!!!

[@cherylreichardt]

Saw him open for Journey in 1983! I love his voice. Kinda gritty! His song Run To You is also really good! Just a real fun sound!

[@andrewgarin2486]

"This Time" should also be mentioned in my opinion....it always gets less credit then it deserves by Bryan's bigger hits.

[@MilosDaddy]

Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams are actually very different in their styles of songwriting. Both are brilliant, just different.

[@csn10]

Wow, I was shocked to hear Ethan cross that line exalting Adams over Springsteen with his dad in the room! It was well worth it for the look on Larry's face :)

[@PaulSmith-xc7vt]

Wow!! Not Springsteen. Totally different style. They are both great in there own way. I have to admit that Ethan makes me smile with his takes. Totally original even if I don't agree.

[@cherylreichardt]

Bruce and Bryan sang together Cuts Like A Knife!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thank you so much Paul. So glad you enjoy! 💛 -Ethan

[@WineSippingCowboy]

BA loves Bruce Springsteen and vice-versa. In 1979, BA and Lindsey Mitchell wrote Jealousy for the Vancouver band Prism. 40 years ago, BA made his version, which sounds similar to the BS song Hungry Heart. Ironically, BS mentioned Kingston. It has nothing to do with Kingston, ONT, birthplace of BA. BA and BS had hit records in 1985. Bryan needed a hit album: he got gilted in his previous album Cuts Like a Knife although he had 3 hits from it. This is the 2nd best known song of Bryan Adams. The woman here is in 6 other videos from the album Reckless. I was just short of being a teen when I heard this song for the first time. I figured out how to play the song on piano/synthesizer! :) Reckless was the Billboard Album of 1985. In Canada, Bryan Adams won a boat load of Juno awards! (This is the Canadian version of The Grammys. ) Fellow Lower Mainland native David Foster said on the way to a commercial break. "We will return to the Bryan Adams Awards after this break." LOL Suggested next video: Everything I Do I Do It for You. 30 years. This song dethroned Summer of 69 as the best known Bryan Adams song.

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

Back in the day, I wasn't really a Bryan Adams fan, but I gotta admit he did write some really catchy songs (this being one of them). His songs have grown on me over the years and they have aged really well. He actually went to high school with my brother but they didn't hang out together...he just remembers seeing him around. Anyways, I wouldn't be opposed to you reacting to more songs from Bryan....Cuts Like A Knife was always a radio favourite around here too. Still would have preferred to hear Maggie May, but this was still good. For my suggestion this time, how about some more Boston? It's been such a long time (pun intended) so why not react to Rock & Roll Band (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5eZZpaCnpaaprs). Cheers!

Sorry about the duplicate comments but YT wasn't being very co-operative at first but now seems to have stabilised. Based on comments posted on another reaction channel to this song, the title of the song is apparently not about the year. That's disappointing because I can actually remember that Summer. I was 7.

For me his best album is ‘Into The Fire’, less radio friendly but the songs were deeper and just as rocky. ‘Native Son’, ‘Remembrance Day’, ‘Home Again’ and the title track itself are all among his very best.
