Under My Thumb-Streetheart-1979

[@gremlinjr2]

I was raised in Minnesota .. SO i Know about most ALL of Canada's Great Bands .. These Guys included .. "what Kind Of Love Is This" .. Great song!!! .. I have Most of what Canada has to offer .. Helix, Harem Scarem, Red Rider, Kick Axe!! .. April Wine .. Trooper, And The rest also ! .. Rockin it Hard !! Always ..

[@brendaboomer]

Some of the best music ever came from that era. So lucky, I grew up in Winnipeg and we got to see some of these bands in our local drinking establishments and my High School! Great days, great music, so much fun!!

[@dalehamelin9538]

The best remake hands down

[@bixby9797]

High School 78-82. It was a golden era of music that will not come back.

[@alex35agm]

Absolutely amazing guitar solo in this song,one of the best in rock history.They took the Stones' song and improved it.

[@BamaMatters11]

"One of the best in rock history" Seriously?? You need to get out more smdh.

[@Peorhum]

@@BamaMatters11 actually as someone who does get out more, it is one of the best... well suited for the song. Most solo are more showing off then fitting with the song. This one is perfect for the song. It starts off slow and builds up to a climate, it is perfect!!. You budding lead guitarist out there, learn from this one, on how to add to the band as you play, not competing with it.

[@rubytracey]

The best band that I saw in 1979!! And many years later too. Up until you passed, Kenny 😭 They were amazing, I met Kenny and he was wonderful. RIP beloved. I love you and thank you for all your music and your soul. Greatest band !!!!

[@tommy4162661670]

Canada has always produced some of the top rock acts in music history. The guess who steppenwolf, BTO, April Wine, Streetheart, Brian Adams, Platinum Blond, Trooper, Chilliwack,Prism,Saga, Piegliaro, Ian Thomas Band Coney Hatch, Max Webster, Loverboy, fuck man the list goes on and on Canada take a back seat to no one when rock music in mentioned folks..

You forgot Colin James. The man is a national treasure.

[@zacharymutter8432]

Neil Young and 4/5ths of Styx

[@LingerieFightingOfficial]

@@zacharymutter8432 All the original members of Styx were born in Chicago and Tommy Shaw was Alabama. They became a hit in Canada before the US but none of the members were Canadian. I think Gowan later joined but that was long after they were popular.

[@endtimefreak]

That funk factor and guitar solo makes it all happen, this is THE EPIC version of the Stones classic for sure, what a gem !!!! Sadly, Streatheart is just one of the many Great Canadian Rock bands that never got their due respect in the industry of their day :( --- R.I.P. Kenny Sheilds-------------------------

[@bullyboy999]

Don't know if it's true but I heard Mick and the Stones said they loved this version even more than their own.

[@friguy4444]

Ah really? Kenny died? Wow I've been gone from the industry a long time now. Too bad Kenny's gone. He didn't look unhealthy the last time I saw him. But I wasn't in his life as a bud.

[@ЛюдмилаФомичева-ъ5и]

С юности люблю эту песню роллингов и впервые услышала ее в таком виртуозном исполнении у другой группы.Я потрясена,молодцы,мне очень понравилось👍

[@downholers]

Streetheart's "Under My Thumb" should be enshrined as a Canadian treasure. One of the greatest rock songs ever.

[@bikeracer6045]

yes!!

[@alukuhito]

It makes you forget that it's a cover.

[@johnnymegabyte]

@@alukuhito but one of the best Stones covers

[@richardstewart7324]

A lot of loverboy is in this band lol

[@robpeters3702]

@@richardstewart7324 Actually, at this point, only Matt Frenette (the drummer here) was just about to leave to join Paul Dean in forming Loverboy. Spider Sinnaeve (Bass) later played with Loverboy long after their heyday when Streetheart was on hiatus (he now still plays with both bands). Loverboy and Streetheart always shared a lot of DNA.

[@TheShowerVlogger]

This has to be the greatest cover ever of a tune, they added so much to this song in a very tasteful manner with great respect to the owners of this masterpiece. The bass runs are legendary!!

[@nobrainsnoheadache2434]

As a western Canadian kid it's no lie I never even knew the original, and when I heard it years later, well, it was more than a bit of a letdown. Streetheart rocked :)

[@MrMistrEnigma]

A cover that is better than the original!

[@LesRomhanyi]

RIP Kenny. Thank you for all the great music and associated memories. You will be missed but never forgotten as long as your music plays on!

[@ron123ron]

RIP Kenny Shields... Thanks for the music .....

[@BWPGuy]

THE single most underrated Canadian band ever...love Streetheart!

[@Mishiginebig]

Darryl and Kenny wrote the majority of the melodies and hooks. Hannah had more in his repertoire than Paul Dean did. The drumming Streetheart was always solid - but I don't think Matt Frenette was a huge difference.

[@davidwatkins4859]

that guy really..watch summer real drummers now and then..he was verage at best

Just a strolling down memory lane today. I miss those days.

[@nicktanchuk9]

This is , by far , The GREATEST cover of any song ever.... Hands down..... Streetheart turned this song into there own. Great memories ....

[@jerrycarvalho6165]

When Mick Jagger says this version is better than the Stones... you better believe it!! So well done just incredible! Some of the best bass playing I've ever heard and what a great guitar solo. Kenny Shields there are no words!!

[@myles-spikewebby8519]

This song rocks and never gets old. I went to see Streetheart live in concert tonight, and they perform this song. Kenny will be missed. He’s looking down and watching over his fans singing along. Best Canadian band ever!

[@jackflash5659]

Probably my favorite cover of a Stones track. Well done Streetheart!

[@thelight5531]

I played with John Hannah in a band in Vancouver in the 80s ... great guy ... real Canadian rocker

[@grantp4022]

Is John Hannah still alive. We were neighbours as kids, around 1960.

Even Mick Jagger said he loved this take on his song

Best version ever of this this song and by a great Canadian band!

[@johnthiessen9781]

RIP Kenny Shields,Thanks for all the great songs,had a lot of good times partying to and just enjoying Streetheart over the last 40 years. One of the best musical exports from the 306 ever

[@Viperkal]

I watched Streetheart perform at an outdoor venue in Yorkton, Sask. back in 1982. It was late August and a very cool night. Kenny Shields told the audience he froze his 'nads off. It was an awesome concert!

[@billadams7703]

Almost 40 years later, this song and Steetheart are still killers!

[@larauch13]

I had the privilege of seeing Kenny Shields perform in a small town in Saskatchewan in the mid 1970's. It was great. I loved his music.

[@LingerieFightingOfficial]

If Spider had been in a better known band he'd be recognized as one of the greatest bass players of all time. Saw him a few weeks ago in Edmonton and he's still an absolute virtuoso.

[@friguy4444]

Well he was in almost all of the acts like Red Rider and played with Brian Adams for years and many others as well. He's a National Treasure That's no doubt but I don't expect Canada to honor their artists unless you're Anne Murray. I mean how awesome were Big Sugar and The Headstones?? What the He11??

[@LingerieFightingOfficial]

@@friguy4444 Streetheart won a Juno and were inducted into the Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame. No country has honored them more than Canada has. They just never had the international hits that bands like April Wine, Rush, Nickelback and others had.

[@misterslats]

Was he wearing shoes?

[@splashfizz]

I saw Streetheart in the early 80s and again about 5 years ago and their singer's voice hasn't changed one bit -- still as cool and powerful as ever. They still rock!

[@paulcatania1315]

Wow! These guys were great! Thanks for turning me on!!

[@Laner39]

BTO is a Vancouver Band and is worthy of your list..

[@greggiftody3563]

They started in Winnipeg. Most of them are from there.

[@according2Jo]

I soooo agree with you! I wish there was still this kind of music being made!

[@TheFrozenducks]

Kenny was one the bass players who took time to teach me some stuff on da bass while i was in winnipeg and this is years ago, thats what made a great bass player today

[@trentoleksuik534]

excellent cover..Seen this band a few times when I was a wee laddy and haven't looked back..timeless music and unbelievable musical chops..Miss bands like this in today's world..nothing tops Canadian classics..:D

Oh Man! I love it; I heard this before ever hearing the Stones' original. The guitar is amazing!!!

I can play the instrumental section over and over and never get bored. For a cover version I gotta say they nailed it!

+Buist Matt Damned straight....

[@mikedo6]

Yeah....looks like Paul Dean?

[@BeauWorldWinnipeg]

When the original band got back together for a week of special shows at the Rollin' Stone here in Winnipeg in the early '90s, I recall Kenny Shields in a radio interview, when saying they would only play songs from the first album, also say, "Paul Dean was still with us when we recorded Under My Thumb, so we'll probably do that." Under My Thumb was originally a special single released after the first album, and was added to later pressings of the second album. That's John Hannah in this video. So this was one of those cases where a musician is play-syncing to another musician's recorded work.

[@djjamesfalk]

@@cary3428 I should have edited this post years ago. That was supposed to say I'd always though Paul Dean was playing this rather than John Hannah. You'd think growing up in the era & then going on to spend the two decades working with each band dozens of times would have prevented such a misquote. With all that said, another poster quoted a Shields radio interview where the solo is credited to Paul Dean with John Hannah play play syncing, as was likely the entire band in this promo video.

[@BigMrMiche]

I think this version is far better then the Stones it really is too bad they didn't become known like them tho

[@rascalhoudi1]

Saw them play this song at the Halifax Metro Centre way back in the day and it still stands out today!!!

[@rascalhoudi1]

They were with Harlequin when I saw them .

[@stevehynam4612]

I was on Holiday in Canada in 1979 from the UK and caught Streetheart in Windsor Ontario. I remember they opened with this song as it was in the Canadian Charts at that time.

[@gtatix]

I saw this live around 1979 when they opened for April Wine - who at one time opened for the Stones in a private TO engagement [Horeshoe?] I went backstage after the show and the front-man was totally bombed! Rock & Roll!

[@willpumpkin]

Holy crap! Great song all around but has this got to be the most underrated bass performance of all time? The slick synchronized build with the drums during the guitar solo and then those blistering fast runs! And then he walks up at top speed to the highest fret! I'm impressed who is the bass player??

[@monsiere1]

Lovin every minute of it.

[@rockymass1]

Hey what about Ken "Spider" Sinnaeve on the bass. He is a Canadian musician, best known for playing bass with Tom Cochrane and Cochrane's earlier band Red Rider. Spider was a founding member of the band Streetheart prior to playing with Cochrane, making amongst others a live cover of "Under my Thumb". Ken Sinnaeve also played with The Guess Who in the summer of 1999 when original bassist Jim Kale took the summer off from touring. They are all fantastic musicians.

[@milli446]

What a great guitar solo,10 times better than the Stones,,just love this version....

I had this distant recollection in the foggy reaches of my older brain that a I had liked this cover when I first heard it. So in between meetings today I thought, hey, what was that band that covered the Stones? Found it! I must have listed to this tune about 20 times today...fantastic work. Underappreciated artists imo.

[@MrRene2112]
