Her music in this one is going African/maybe Middle East -her look is very central-eastern European, her voice and choice of intonation is very Western influence-she’s such a world gem!

Lemmy was in fact a very underrated text writer. You can see that in other songs too, like for example in God Was Never on Your Side, I Ain't no Nice Guy and Just Cos' You Got The Power. He isn't given the credit he deserves in that respect.

Rory and Horslips were the greatest ever Irish musical exports.

Never heard of him until seeing a doc on Irish music that would pop up every year on St. Patrick’s Day from VH1 about 20 years ago; I think they quoted Bono as saying Rory was his favorite guitarist. Incredible guy!! I think people may be put off by the old keyboard sound but “A Million Miles Away” is my favorite of his songs. Love his cover of Tony Joe White’s “As the Crow Flies”.

musical legend

can you rate todays music to thid level? nope

Thank you for choosing such excellent video quality. Rory all heart & soul. l don't care what people think if I'm in love forever with this angel man❤️

Great band,I’ve seen them live several times. I kinda relate to this track. They are musically great, and aren’t afraid of any subject.

6 years old at the album release. Being spoonfed by my dad with music from Ash, Sabbath, Heep, Gallagher, 10 years after etc etc. It definitely formed my musical knowledge and prefs. lateron I was able to return the favor of introducing him to to other classics & newer bands. Anyways listening to Argus is like coming home on a sunday morning❤ Thx for the upload and love your style of presenting songs. Do keep on.

Rory was just a genius he had the ability to make the guitar literally sing. It was almost as though he was duetting with the guitar.

You picked one of their worst songs.

I love you Lara ❤

For me Rory is on a very short list of truly great guitar players, and always seemed to be a lovely man, modest and down to earth. Sad loss at such a young age.

I just ran into this tonight--Rory's iconic Strat and other gear is going up for auction in the fall. czcams.com/video/DqiuORzYna0/video.html&ab_channel=MyBluesGuitar. His gear gets to go on one last tour: there are viewings pre-auction in London, New York City, and Los Angeles.

I enjoyed every second of that as much as you so clearly did 🤗 Always loved Rory (and Taste) and often get lost in his brilliance, both listening to albums and watching YT videos. He lived for performing live and it shows. Such a huge loss. Thank you for this, Alan - hope all is good with you ✌️

This is the Rory I remember from live performances many, many years ago. I heard the last part, with Gerry McAvoy driving it, as a proud march off and away, with head held high. The opening is so melancholy and grows into resolve and the march away. If you want to share a whiskey with Rory, try this czcams.com/video/yMim0D0dqLk/video.html&ab_channel=RoryWeb2011

Really enjoy his guitar technique ... I've heard about this guy over the years and for some reason he wasn't as big over here across the pond as he was over there, .l. like his style and need to listen to more from this dude

Nothing in particular against Sabaton, but it pales and vanishes compared to this version... Sabaton put too many instruments and made it "grander" which doesn't fit the lyrics, and nothing beats the somber tone of Lemmy in his version, with the vocals

Highlight of Live Aid was George Thorogood introducing "The Master of The Telecaster" Albert Collins (on the US part of the shindig). Madison Blues I think was the song but it got Albert a wider audience.

Lara Fabian Caruso! Amazing! And from her From Lara with love tour. The crowd singing we love you to her song “Je t’aime”.

Great song!!! "Reap The Wild Wind" in his Ultra-Vox days comes to mind with that synth sound...... seemed to have that "Morrisey" type vibe.........

You Jazz aficionados, take me on a journey 😊

Alan my Dear Friend. Please react to Roy Buchanan When a Guitar Plays the Blues......and also .......Five String Blues and Petes Blues. All are KILLER !!! LOVE YOU BROTHER. YOUR REACTIONS ROCK!!!!!!!!

Thank you for appreciating music that molded me. I was 16 when I first heard this album. Changed my outlook on music in general. Love love love Argus.

You are not the only one who was amazed by them. I couldn't believe how good they were too!

Nobody can sing this like Mr I. Kilmister. Sabaton did a good version BUT this knocks Sabaton out of the park. It annoys me just how little respect is given by the youth of today to these brave men who fought for our freedoms which are taken for granted these days.

This was definitely my teenage girl angst song. It was hard to listen to back then--but someone could put words to every insecurity and fear felt by a lot of people (not just girls) I knew.

I love how she's depicted herself wearing her heart on her sleeve. An amazing artist. Thank you from an old musician in Seattle

That whole album is great!

I was awkward and shy when I was 17 in 1979. I loved this song back then because I didn't feel alone.

I've seen her pop in and comment on several reactions. You seem to get the duality of the song more than some do. Perhaps she'll drop by.

Hi Alan, I've been anxiously awaiting this reaction from you... well done as usual. I appreciate your wearing the New York shirt for this one as Ms. Ian is a New Yorker. Stay well my friend! - Brooklyn Mike 😻

Bitchen hat

Operation Mindcrime/Concept Album..listen from the beginning to end like a story, for anyone that has never heard of a concept album, it's a story from beginning to end , it's awesome

second song I've heard from Miss Ian.., seems to be a very sensitive songwriter , this song seems to be her reflecting back onto how "The Game" was played and she accepted that because that's the 'way things are'.., very heartfelt.......

I’ve loved the Trees since 1st hearing “Nearly Lost You” on the “Singles” sndtrk back in 92 🖤🤘🏻check out “No One Knows” or “Julie Paradise”

Check out the song brutal planet. The live one from brutally live.

Alice Cooper is always a win ❤

We love Dan❤

AC definitely found his niche with his "theatric rock" in the seventies. his band seemed a little rough, and maybe thats what made em sound good..,, never heard this cut before....., maybe have to give that album a listen too......

What an honest and unpretentious reaction. So refreshing in today's ego gobbling maniac's. Subscribed. 👍

My favorite AC LP.....

This song would've been so much better if it had ended at 15:15. The dual lead guitars by Wishbone Ash is their calling-card which distinguished them from so many other bands in the terrific 1970s. i always loved whenever Wishbone Ash went into their instrumental sections, but I never really cared for their vocals, except for Phoenix, which is another gem. Their first 4 albums are very good, but after that not so much!

Incredible Rory❤️

Love your analysis. I'm rather obsessed with Rory's energy, the dicotomy. He's really a quiet person off stage. Thank you!

Love this song from Rory. He always leaves me happy ❤️
