The Guess Who - These Eyes (Reaction)

[@sharkfinz6]

i love love the younger generation diggin these tunes...

[@minstac1530]

This song was on Shrek. Donkey was singing lol. I knew this song way before that though

[@KenOtwell]

You should hear the original when his voice was in top shape - his screaming riffs added so much.

[@bobbywall172]

Ken Otwell I’ve been playing this on my I-pod while riding my bicycle on the back roads for decades, never gets old!!

[@kathrynjarlov5166]

I really do like this mature version too though, what a voice.

[@111oooo]

So many great songs by the Guess Who, No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature, No Time, Undun, American Woman, Hand Me Down World, Share the Land, Rain Dance, Laughing, Bus Rider, Orly, Clap For the Wolfman, Albert Flasher, Star Baby to name a few

[@terryconnelly484]

Best of x 2 multiple hits

[@allisonyoung4007]

I forgot all about Star Baby! I used 2 love that! I was only in 6-7th grade & I remember listening on my little clock radio on my bedside table~

[@jasonhardison7103]

That about covers it.

[@92kingsly]

Don't forget Runnin' Back to Saskatoon ;

[@knearhood8]

yup I had their greatest hits album and I wore it out

[@billpolimenakos5651]

probably one of the most underated Canadian Rock Bands...

[@KimboBravin]

I agree. But I also believe they're one of the greatest bands ever. Their songs are timeless.

[@prussianmillionaire5055]

Not underrated in my eyes.love them

[@kempmt1]

It still amazes me the younger generation listening and enjoying music that debuted before they, or myself were born.

[@stephenulmer3781]

This live version is ok but the studio version is so much better☺

[@jtd5849]

Stephen Ulmer, agreed!

[@carollandrum9223]

I agree!

[@deathproofpony]

You should hear Jimmy's brother sing it.

[@ORagnar]

That's often the case. They can go over it several times, be precise and refine details in a studio. Live you've got one shot.

[@AV-sd7cq]

Some Guy idk if anyone would understand that reference, I’m not even sure if I’m correct lmfao

[@Rockermom59]

Try Undun, Laughing, No Time, American Woman, etc. They were the soundtrack of my childhood!! Love you; more, more of The Guess Who, Woo!!!!

[@JettBlast]

It is so refreshing to see someone appreciate this music like you do......

[@mjmmjm5370]

Love, love, love my Canadian boy......Burton Cummings. Have seen him numerous times in concert!!!

[@steveaitch729]

this was played everywhere when i was a teenager. he had an excellent voice. they were a hit making machine in the 60s 70s

[@helmedon]

The Guess Who is one of my favorite bands. They have such a broad range of music. Listen to "No Sugar".

[@bobbyowen5879]

No sugar tonight by them is an awesome tune.

[@brendabarnett9718]

I am a 65 year old woman, this was one of my favorite songs when I was 16 brings back a lot of memories

[@CormacMacCormac]

The Guess Who was a Canadian band. Just listen to American Woman by them. One of their best songs.

[@allisonyoung4007]

Which was actually about America the country~ Vietnam~ Alot of our boys were escaping the draft by going 2 Canada~

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Yeah, I hate that friggin' song.

[@brucemarshall7619]

In my opinion, their best song is No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature.

[@michaelnorman2967]

Absolutely!

[@ohbrother8530]

@@allisonyoung4007 I don't dig your war machines, I don't dig your ghetto scenes.

[@johnandrews3151]

Burton Cummings was the lead vocal on this. He had a hit by himself after the band broke up. It is called Stand Tall.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Lead singer Burton Cummings had a fine voice! This Canadian band, coincidentally, had their biggest U.S. hit with "American Woman" (No. 1) and also with "No Sugar Tonight" (No. 1).

[@stephenross5706]

India if you're blessed by this 1985 concert featuring the Guess Who, doing the rendition of "These Eyes featuring the book hotel in and piano instrumentation of Burton Cummings call my you also be blessed by the original performance in video wishy performed in his very early twenties and 1969( he was born at the end of December in 1947 and join the other members and putting Randy Bachman when he was still a teenager in the 60's). The Guess Who work and it is primary Rock band of the rock Era and in response to The WHO from England. You also enjoy the myriad of other hits written by Burton Cummings in conjunction with Randy Bachman on guitar. This includes "Undun", done a 1969 which featured Cummings versatile music talents in playing the flute, which added a wonderful touch in his attempt to have the instrumentation that Jethro Tull had in his compositions. You especially love their first Mega number one hit American Woman" from 1970, which for a while was being considered has the Canadian National anthem in response to all of the draft dodgers from the United States to Canada, to avoid participation in Vietnam War. It was a very well stated metaphorical image of Canada's adversity to become taken over and swallowed up by the United States culture and" their war machines " And their ghetto scenes,zitwas popular in Canada and the United States in response to the takeover of US culture in Canada by the call troll influence of the "American Woman." Unfortunately guitarist and musician Lenny Kravitz apparently didn't understand the lyrics and his remake totally butchered the song and a video as it showed in his new arrangement of the song with American women on the beach in bikinis, which was not the intent or the theme of the song. Has displayed in his music video. You will other songs to by the Guess Who, it show great harmony and instrumentation as in "No Time", "No Sugar Tonight","Share The Land","Clap for The Wolfman", , which was dedicated to Wolfman Jack, Burt Sugarman of the Midnight Special. Program in the 80's and 90's. He was also a famous DJ in Los Angeles area previously. Burton Cummings has been placed in the Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on two occasions as a single artist as well as with the Guess who. He is the only one that holds that distinction. It's too bad that they are not installed and the American rockin roll all the same as well. Another song which Randy Bachman made popular when he broke off for a while from the Guess Who when he formed Bachman Turner Overdrive when he composed" Taking care of Business" , which has been performed with the .Guess Who when he.rejoined the Guess Who again in the later 70'sand early 80's. Mr Cummings is still active and performing as well as having published a couple of poetry books and other come positions and he had a television show in Canada featuring rock musicians and artist as well. Rock musicians and pop musical artists.

[@douglashowser3429]

India,India,India, you, my lady are falling in love with all this old school! Don't try to deny it, I can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice! I love it and I love your reactions to it! This is from the generation when music really moved people. The Randy mentioned in the description is none other than Randy Bachman who went on to form Bachman Turner Overdrive, you may have heard of them,if not you are in for another treat! So far you are proving to be fearless as far as reacting to people you don't know. Keep up the great work and I will be watching for more old school! Love from New Hampshire!

[@ladysilverwolf2523]

I ran across one of your videos because I like the song itself I listen to the song but your reaction was so sweet I'm 62 years old and I was around when the lot of these songs that you're doing now were originally recorded it's so nice to see somebody your age appreciating the music we had back then thank you I really enjoy your videos

[@AJRabies]

Great facial reactions. Love that you are discovering some cool older music.

[@milan2c]

Older music is my core music.

[@davidzimmerli489]

What a joy it is to watch your reaction to this number. Second by second, I can't help but feel the same thoughts and emotions that you're experiencing. It really is great therapy for me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart....

[@Real_masontroyadams]

When I was in high school my friend and I took a road trip 4 hour drive into upstate New York. His car had to go into the shop right before we were supposed to leave so we took his grandfather 64 Mercury Montego. It had no radio only an 8-track and they were only a couple of 8-track cassettes in the car. One of which was The Guess Who. We played it over and over again the duration of our trip. it actually became a symbol of some really great memories. The fact that you're reacting to it just brought back so many of them. I haven't even listened to it yet and I already love it! Thank you!

[@Real_masontroyadams]

@@chae-wonseong8350 wow, you just made me feel old as hell haha. 8-tracks were what people had in the car before CD's and even before cassette tapes. The 8-track looked kinda like an old Atari system (please tell me you've heard of Atari) and the 8-track CASSETES looked like an old Atari cartridge, except it had audio tape inside instead of microchips. It was like a record player for the car. Each cassete had songs on BOTH SIDES of the tape. There was side A and side B. If you bought an album, half the songs would be on side A, half on side B. There was no rewind option, so you'd have to FAST FORWARD on one side, then flip the cassete over to the other side to play the song you were looking for.

[@susankeller4170]

India you’re so cute! I love how you react to our ‘old school’ songs...they’re so romantic and talk about so many emotions that we just don’t get in modern music. It’s so cute to see your response!

[@rolfsvensson5777]

How true!

[@jclay425]

You are precious, child. So much fun to watch your facial reactions to songs we’ve loved for years.

[@terryconnelly484]

You almost made me cry and I've heard the song probably hundreds of times. Way to bring it back!

First time watching your channel. Thumbs up. Love the Guess Who, was lucky enough to see them and BTO in concert. A very sad song and very mellow is Diary by Bread.

[@darrenblockersr]

My wife of almost 21 years of marriage passed away in June of 2021 just a few days after the funeral this song come to my mind as I sat in the living room by myself I begin to cry and sing this song. Even now trying to make this comment I still break down. I cried every day for months and my doctor finally put me on some medicine to help with depression and it has helped some but there will never be a replacement for the person that you love so very much and hold dear to your heart. So much I want to say so much I need to say but I can only get it out when I'm by myself thinking of her.

[@suzie4417]

A very popular 🇨🇦 band 🔥🔥 Burton Cummings has such a great voice & he plays piano, flute, organ, as well he write most songs along with Randy Bachman (renowned guitarist). They played at CanaFest in my town Grand Forks, BC Aug 2022 !! Still going strong since mid 60’s !

[@rayniecox7683]

I was 14 in 1969, got to see them in concert, one of my first.

[@chipblock2854]

I too was 14. I saw them in Salem, Oregon! They were my first band. It cost me $4.25. That was almost four hours if pay!

[@Zeupater]

Nice selection. The Guess Who put out some great music. You should do “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature”, “Laughing” and maybe “No Time”.

[@JettBlast]

I agree, I have thier greatstgreatest hits and I let them all play....

[@michaelmacintyre9643]

When I see someone react to songs I grew up with, especially the way you have, it is almost like hearing them for the first time, 😊.

[@allanrose2964]

American Woman, These Eyes......all AM radio stuff from the 70's....I graduated HS in 1973. People today have virtually nothing like we did back then. Those of my age were SO lucky to have all THE bands producing great music. Everyone listened to AM radio....FM was just beginning as alternative music stations usually at a college.

[@alwynnshae6309]

The Guess Who went by Chad Allen and the Expressions earlier and had a hit with "Shakin' All Over". I love that one.

[@jimb2992]

I've taken many road trip with Guess Who in the 8 track, wore out 2 of them,

My hometown (Winnipeg) boys! And now, in retirement (well, sorta: he still performs occasionally), Burton Cummings is living back in Canada in my OTHER hometown (where I went to high school): Moose Jaw. I've been listenin' to 'em, and lovin' it, since their heyday back in the late '60s / early '70s. Enjoy! 🇨🇦

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I didn’t realize this song was that old because I’ve just heard it all my life. This concert looks like it was in the 80s, just because of their clothes. They look older too. Anyway, I love your facial expressions and your honest reactions. Great job!

[@psychphan]

I just discovered you! I had know idea "Reactors" were a thing! My husband is Deaf but got cochlear implants and can hear music now. He loves your expressions and reactions to music. I love your reactions too. You are so authentic. I was born in 1959 and love all genres of music. I love your willingness to listen to all kinds of music and open others up to a wide variety as well. I told my sisters about you and shared a video so you got multiple subscriptions from my family! Keep it coming!

[@traog2445]

I'm Canadian so I've listened to this music most of my life. The Guess Who have many good songs, "No sugar tonight/ New Mother Nature", "No time". Burton Cummings had a solo career, some of Burton's you'd like is "I will play a rhapsody" "Break it to them Gently".

India...this song changed my life over 30 years ago. It's one of the BEST ever written. Writing songs is not an easy thing to do and these guys wrote a lot of em! Pure talent. Look into a song called Laughing and No Sugar Tonight by this band. They're wonderful to listen to...

[@bierce716]

If you think this is heartbreaking, listen to his original from 50 years ago, when his voice was at the peak and could really communicate the sorrow.

[@ExarKenneth71]

Burton and Randy wrote this song in his living room when he was 17.

[@abc456f]

That's some serious talent to be able to write a song like this at age 17! Amazing. I believe McCartney wrote "I Saw Her Standing There" at 16 or 17.

[@bluebear1985]

Proud to say they're Canadian, coming out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. After some of their earlier success, one of their members, Randy Bachman, left to form his own group, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, or BTO for short. If you can, you should react to their most successful song they did, "Taking Care of Business". It's definitely worth a listen.

[@ragingklingon]

Their American Woman album was the first album I ever owned. The whole album is fire.

[@markwillsie1852]

Their first performance of American Women was down the road from where I am. The building is still there. Burton was in the back, Randy was playing the rifts, Burton came out and sang. Lucky a person was there with a cassette recorder.

This was written after he broke ties to his fiance ..

[@youtubeguy1]

They had a reunion gig in Hawaii (Honolulu) many years ago and the band I was in at the time came on after. Talk about a hard act to follow. Everyone in the band was super chill and friendly. It was cool just hanging with them and “talking story”. They even stuck around to watch my band perform. Nice guys. 🌴😎🌈Aloha

[@kona883]

Graduated high school in 1969! parents moved to California so of course I had to too! Long distance relationships don't work when your 17 and 16! So his song was a big part of my life then and is to this day!

[@dagnytaggart5955]

You're making me re-live my teenage years. The only reason I would listen to that song again is exactly that, watching someone react to it. Like many songs of that era, you enjoy the first 4 000 times you hear the song but it loses a little magic after that.

[@thomasmanning829]

I think I first heard this at Fort Leonard Wood Mo. I was going through Combat Engineering Training. It was the summer of '69. I was 18. My best friend who had the bunk below mine met a girl in town. He'd sneak off post to see her. It must have been love at first sight, as he'd only known her for just a couple of weeks before she dumped him. When he told me how tore up he was he said he felt exactly like this song might make you feel to go through something like my friend went through. This song was playing in the barracks on someone's radio at the time. He admitted he was thinking about going awol. I told him to just try to forget about her. After a day I never saw him again.

One of the coolest bands to meet in person song back in 92 at the orbit room a small club that was in Grand Rapids I got pushed out of the way when the drummer threw a drumstick to the audience and he saw that so at the end of the show he gave me a pair also hung out with the band for the rest of the day with my date real cool timeless sound

I was in the 9th grade when the album came out and I asked my older sister to buy it for me since my birthday was the next week. Well, she did and I must say listened to that album 1000 times that year. American Women was my favorite song on that album though I liked the entire album.

The piano, Burton Cummin's favorite toy. Randy Bachman was part of the band & went on to form Bachman Turner Overdrive.

[@VinE83656]

The guitarist was Randy Bachman (pronounced Backman) who later fronted the band Bachman-Turner Overdrive or BTO for short who had a lot of hits as well. Both the Guess Who and BTO are very underrated bands. BTO was the heavier of the two as they had more of a guitar driven sound than The Guess Who.

[@robertlongwill8856]

Vince Randy Bachman pronounced his name two different ways. The first way was b o c k m a n in the second way was b a c k m a n. The second pronunciation was when he was with the Guess Who. The first pronunciation was when he was with BTO

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Burt Cummings, the singer and Randy Bachman had a lot of hits with this group. Then they had hits as Bachman-Turner Overdrive, one of the rare acts to have number one hits with 2 bands. And they had A LOT of hits, American Woman, Ain't see nuthin' yet, Taken Care of Business, and others.
