Who's still listening to Billy in 2024?
I came here by way of Frampton Comes Alive.
Can't go wrong with Billy Squier
I am
I'm there forever!!
Me
Absoutely me! BSq's music is my pleasure. What a highly underrated performer! Way ahead of his time.
I miss being young. And I miss when America was AMERICA.
What is it now?
@@davebasch5995 I'll answer, if I may. A SHIT SHOW! :(
Yes it is a shit show!! I was born in 1972 my first concert was Kiss in 1979 and my humble opinion the era between 1970-1989 had theee absolute best music! Again that’s my opinion..
Keep Calm & Rock On ⚡️
Amen
Oh Billy!! You have no idea how your music blew up our pool parties in the 80’s. We were YOUNG, FUN, CAREFREE TEENS. Your music takes me back to some of the best memories of my life! Thank you! 😜🤭🔥🥰😍🥰🔥
Mfckn' same
!!
I still don't know why to this day why he was one of most underrated performers of the 80,s when you see stuff like this.
So many songs that spoke to me many years ago.
1 video ruined his entire career. “Rock me tonight” is considered 1 of the very worst videos in music video history. That’s why he disappeared rather abruptly.
Who said he was underated 😮
The record companies fucked him because he wouldn't play by their rules. Read it.
@@jasongaudreau2075it’s insane because nowadays people fake bring gay to get fake applause, but back then just looking pretty gay once and bam your life is over.
Who is rockin' with me with Billy in 2023????? Ya gotta luv this!!!!
👍
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw this tour! In Pittsburgh Pa.! Class of 81' 😎✌❤
@@robertkroberjr.157 Wow, Robert....you are so lucky!!!
@@barbr8012 A friend bought the tickets, and later was unable to go.
41 years since this song was written and still sounds killer now in 2022.
Couldn’t agree more!
Yup!
Rock on
He has killer vocals
Indeed it does my friend.
A cold beer, good friends, a quarter, a glass in the center of a flat table, and this song blasting...heaven 80's style.
Billy was a true badass of early 80s rock. You can't beat that Gibson + Marshall tone ... soooo good.
Billy Squier is one of the most underrated rockers ever! He can rock with the best of them!
In order to be a succesful frontman, the first rule is you have to be good looking. Look Axl Rose, Brett Michaels, Sebastian Bach, and Billy lacked that beauty
That's exactly right..he was phenomenal!
OH , YES !!! 💜🎶. He IS AWESOME !!! 😍👍🔥. SEXY AS ... 😁🤪
I remember this guy. This song is crazy good. Just learning this on my guitar. Sunday morning is rocking. 🇨🇦❤️
I agree
Back when bands sounded the same live as they did on their albums. No Autotune here, just pure talent!!
Dude was amazing
Yes!! Dont we all wish it could still be this awesome!
@@JoseMartinez-gf4ft muzik
Stfu
Just amazing. Miss those days!!
Billy Squier was played all day and all night on the AM/FM dial when I was a kid.....This cat wrote and composed great MUSIC let me tell you I am still listening to him in 2023!! You rock Billy
My old friend Bobby Chouinard (drums) is the force behind this music. He has long since passed, yet he will always live right here... We all miss you brother
I really liked his drumming style. Stripped down kit . He didn't need more.
R.I.P. Bobby..
June 26, 1953, Brockton, MA
March 8, 1997, New York, NY
He was an incredible drummer.
He was a fantastic drummer. So much feel, groove and passion.
RIP Bobby
@@rick3747 Drumming is what Makes Rock N Roll!
Bobby was and still is one of my favorite drummers to watch and listen to. He may be gone but his spirit still lives in the music. Loved his loose hi hat sound and cracking snare.
Billy Squier needs to be in the RnR Hall of Fame!
hell ya! he isn't. absurd
Got my vote!!
His name was the only in particular I was looking for when I went to the museum in Cincinnati and was in disbelief not seeing his name engraved
The thing is you pay to get in there!
@@loreayoub1544 I would donate
Whomever saved this priceless piece, thank you for your service!!!!!!
BILLY F'N SQUIER ROCKS! He was the Plant/Page of the 80's. Great singer, infectious riffs, and a timeless sound. Still one of my all time favorites.
He was his own awesome thing 💚💚💚
That "Don't Say No" album is great beginning to end.
WELL SAID!!!!!!
@@mesocorny Thank you for the belly laugh!
I didn't realize that Billy is 72 years young..
Safe to say.. All your fans are so glad your here with us and doing good..
We love love you and thanks for all the rockin' tunes..
*Who Is Still Listening To Billy Squier In 2020-2021?*
me better than most crap out today
@@ronaldlafrieniere2018 *You got that right they just don't make music like this today.*
@@catnoir-a-saurus I totally agree, why is it on every video someone has to mention that they are still rocking in 20....., what the fuck is this date bullshit on every video.
11 - 12 - 19
Everyone!! 💋💋💋
It's cool that Squire plays the guitar for real and sings great, there is a serious lack of good rock music these days.
Definitely no rock music today.
@@Infraredx Name one rock band like Billy Squire, Led Zepplin, GNR? Any rock band out there since 2000? I rest my case!
@@Infraredx Actually GVF is good but their no Zepplin. What are you, like 12? Because you sound like it. You didnt prove anything except your shoe size and nothing else. Rick N Roll is nothing like it was back 20 & 40 years ago.. it went down hill since the late 90s & early 2000s. I grew up on it and its all I listen to is old classic rock and none of this hip hop rock shit. Music now a days sucks, even country music sucks. Rap is crap and its ruined society as a whole along with the new crap.
@@helloyall4355 Being an outside observer to this discussion I would have to say that Ultra ate you for lunch Beeswax. Good day.
@@timishere1925 LOL! You're a delusional troll. I had his ass the minute he made a stupid ass comment. 🤣🤣🤣 You twats know nothing about rock music or anything about the music industry, period. Now go make me a sammich!
Not a smartphone in sight! Miss those days
Me and you could go the store get your favorite album. now they making them again and want way to much money for them
Oh for sure. I was in high school when this came out.
Yea lol if we needed to use the phone, we stopped at a pay phone or phone booth. Times certainly have changed haven’t they ?
underrated rocker. He has a surprisingly large number of great songs.
He does!
Wrong, not surprisingly at all if you were between the ages of 15 and 40 in the 80s.
He was a hit writing machine
Billy was always underated in my opinion.
Two-hit wonder boy remember by every teenaged lad doing the stroke tune !
@@timishere1925 : Whichever tune the radio stations decided to play other than the stroke tune ! Sad but true as life emulates Billy's career with his tune " Lonely is the Night " ! After all when MTV makes you a star , they also break you with the redundancy of overplaying "The Stroke " !
@@scarborosasquatchstation1403 Hahaha. I agree with you completely about MTV but it cracks me up for some reason that you don't know the name of the other tune. Lonely is the night? My kind of lover? In the dark? Whatever buddy, it's all good.
I never understood why he was so underrated.
@@VmShpman82 his "dancing" in the film clip Rock Me Tonite killed his career.
Also, he was not big outside the US.
I met him on this tour. Evansville Indiana. Had backstage passes and I have to say this man was truly a GREAT person on and off the stage. He took the time to talk to each of us (all teenagers with no clue what was going on around us) and he listened as well as spoke. A Class act al around.
Totally and he's since become an environmentalist and planted loads of trees in Central Park!
RnR Hall of Fame is a joke.
Love it, glad to hear he is cool in real life. Had the feeling he was. I saw him in concert in Pittsburgh in 1987, cheap seats but sounded great. Great night. Cheers
You just still beat rock and roll he put out over the years, it's never going to get old.
His parents were a class act too. Good way to discribe the Squire family. Thanks
Great guitarist and singer. Great F’n tune!
Just over here ringing in '23 with one of the most underrated acts in rock!
Squier was like a one man Zeppelin. Plant-like vocals, Page-like heavy guitar, and a big beat. I was bummed when he fizzled out after his "Rock Me Tonight" debacle. Big stage presence.
I see him channeling Jimmy in this too.
Yeah he had those two monster albums then after that. You'd be hard pressed to find a bad song on either one of them
Nobody will front you.
Pink shirt video hit him hard. I’m not sure I would put him next to Plant or Page but this is music & all opinions are valid. Don’t get me wrong. BS is a great guitarist and vocalist. His show is tight & he sells it like a MF
What was the Rock me Tonight debacle?
I honestly wish we had artists like this today who sound just as good live as they do on record.
Max volume or you are not a man
@@legendarykid674 check out Mammoth WVH
I'm working on it.
@@jawsxx8683 Haha love to hear it honestly
What about Vince and the Motley crew?
The entire band is awesome. Everyone's on their a game.
Bobby, Jeff, Alan, Kenny 👍💚💚💚
He had a killer band!
that solo at the end was killer
Billie Squier wrote, sang, and played some badass jams back in the day!!!
This guy was so underrated as a singer and a guitarist. Guy is amazing..
His songs were very well done too. I am not certain he wrote em but he had many, many Great songs and hits. He was all over radio back in the 80s.
Isn't he though?
YanksOnTop completely underrated. I have seen him live back in the day and he completely rocked the stadium. He got a bun rap over that video.
Yeah but can he dance?
Not as underrated as the bass dude with shades on...
Billy was the man back then. God the memories. I miss the 80s😣😢😭. God I got old
80'S LAST DECADE OF GOOD ROCK PERIOD.
I don't consider us old, just seasoned enough to know what's good, we know the good from the wannabe 🙂
Good company loves misery. 👍
Didn’t we all
There was so much great music then, so many I didn't give proper attention. But damn, was in overload!!
I was in my early 20's when this came out,and it still rocks now in my 60's
Me too! He opened for Queen when I saw them in 82!
Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone..... 06/2024
I remember listening to this song while driving home, sunburnt and tired from surfing all day in Carmel in 1983, man life was simpler back then.
I’m 24 going to make sure my kids have a chance to listen to all the great rock music ever made...rock will never die! 🤟🏼
Me too! I’m 24 as well! I actually got into billy bcuz of the Mötley Crüe “The Dirt” movie on Netflix!
Rock on Rich 🤘😁🤘
Kix!!!
NEVER🤘
Bless your heart. Our kids need to know the roots of all music.
A beautiful and sad video. This America is dead. Nothing more than a memory today. Younger generations will think it only fiction. I was only 7 when this was being played, but it still hits me hard.
The stage presence is off the charts…. What a time to be a kid!!
I didn't know that Billy Squier could play electric guitar so well. He's very talented
Hell yes he can..always been like that
Billy is only playing rhythm guitar here, the lead guitarist is Cary Sharaf!
Les Paul sunburst
PS-- RIP Jeff snd Bobby!
@@benadam7753 Jeff Golub
One of the most underrated singers and musicians in real rock & roll...
Song still relevant. How many decades after.. true talent
Wow, 1981, I was 10 years old and rocking to Billy Squire.
The old folks were right. Time passes too fast.
Billy Squire got me through school, alive. God I was such a lonely shy kid.
Thank you Billy.
Lol cold
I was looking for you.
Same
Me too
I'm still there
This was back when MTV stood for MUSIC TELEVISION and not the pregnant teen channel.
For real!!!
I'm old enough to remember when that was soo true. Kinda doesn't make sense now Music television (MTV) that doesn't have any music. 😭
so f ckin true, now all we see is whores wanting to be with baby daddy. really, who gives a f ck about that shit. mtv is now shit. go be on Op ra whoe show. thats wright that shit is over, thank GOD.
Teen Mom aka I was a ho in High School
This was before MTV
The boy could sing, dance and play guitar. What more could you ask for!!!
I'd have done him for sure in the day 🤟🤗
Beautiful man 😍
Good lord I'm old ! I actually bought his albums when they first came out ! STILL ROCKS !!
Don AD7LL this cassette stayed in my 79 camaro ‘s tape deck from summer of 81 until late fall. Couldn’t take it out!!
Same here Class of 82.
@@RRL110 I'm also Class of '82 !
Me too! I will say if there was ever a way to pinpoint the exact moment when style won out over substance in the music industry it was the day that the Rock Me Tonite video was released. Was it a poor choice for a video? Yeah, absolutely. Was it a bad song? Wasn't great. But to decide that he was a terrible artist based on one song? Come on. Every performer puts out a clunker every now and then. Why was he suddenly a pariah because of one video and song? I can't figure it out. Jeez, Queen did I Want to Break Free and they were all in drag. Freddie was a huge queen, but that didn't hurt them. Billy was straight - far as I know anyway - and the crucified him.
@@nopenadanowaynohow Cool, good time to grow up in. A time when music was the best and you could actually see real bands for under 100 bucks.
It’s Saturday, May 18th, 2019, 85 degrees and sunny out in St. Louis MO, and this song has never sounded better. Perfection!
CZcams homeless mans rock song …. my video & song eric
Its June 10 2019 and 104 in Santee CA and it sounds about the same as May 18th
July 05, 2019 in sunny Montreal after a long work day. Great guitar and singer.
And Cathy, you are still beautiful....
Major Kong Thank You!
My sister got the priviLege of seeing this rock God live in the early 80s!!! Im still jealous to this day!! One of the most underrated artists ever!
Count me in , I saw him in 83 I believe !!
I saw him open for Queen in Philly, I believe it was 1981. Great concert!
I saw him in 1984, one of the worst concerts I have ever seen...Molly Hatchet opened for him.
Why is this guy not in rock n roll of fame, talented every such way!!!!!!
Yes, he was great. I have no clue what he was doing. The whole thing but he shouldn't have been there you're right about that thank you
It's been many years but they're still great listen to Just like you were there. Same as now music the same doesn't change. Just did people forget. They just need a little help remembering
As great as he was, he just wasn't big enough. For a short time yes but after he made that fruity video, he was basically blackballed
He'll get in, hopefully along with Boston.
Squire fukn rocks. PERIOD. His music made a definite impression on the 80s, and I can't even imagine what that decade would've been like without it. Great memories. I speak from the heart, it's all I know how to do. My emotions, are in motion...
Get this guy in the Hall of Fame 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍
BILLY BOY MY HOMEBOY ! LOVE YOU FOREVER, MY BRITHER. ! DINAMITE😎
Ya huh
Absolutely agree Craig!! Billy Squier def belongs in the Hall of Fame!⭐️💫🌟
He is pathetically under rated.
@@timishere1925 so true!
I can hear this streaming out the speakers of the 78 Trans Am what a great time!
The good old days. Adrenaline flowing. Jumping around, running around,jamming out. Now it's stand in one spot and maybe a few guitar licks. Hum-drum. Love the older videos more exciting!!!
Hey look everybody.... he's actually singing and it's not perfect and there's some little mistakes and folks are paying attention and have no devices they're all holding in the air and the world kept spinning and people remembered the show and lived their lives in the moment. Amazing.
In the moment slowly faded away after one hour photo booths became a thing.
Hey just read what you wrote, it reminded me of the comment that I just wrote...(Then I scrolled down and saw yours and a few others...Here is mine..I cut paste it here for you..
Later man!
At 0:34 we looked so cool as a people. But now, man and woman (At these shows / concerts) look like
reports and this is also where ever you go..
It's gotten really stupid, unless there is a reason...
And yes there has been lately!
Just saying....cell phones is what killed rock, how ,, it distracted our young from being forced from being bored to play the guitar to come up with some
sound to form a band and then the internet made it to not have any money any more...unless you are on tour....God Bless the past, it is all we have....
*Yea very fascinating indeed*
It is "perfect," if you compare it to the vast majority of post-2000 "Music." Not much of a Compliment, i know, but, i meant well. Is not "Sexting" the neatest, though. You can take a Pic of your sweaty, funky fresh Labia and/or Balls, in the midst of a Concert and send said Pic, to your friend, standing, right beside you, with their Pants, down, taking a Pic of their Genitals and a fixin' to "Sext" their Pubic Pic, to you!
Hell ya, this is when concerts were packed with strangers and friends!!!!
Billy was The Man. He had that Zeppelin Thing down, big drums and guitars with the groove and feel. Damn. I still crank up Billy Squier to this day.
Me too!!
Me too!!
me too
Talented musician & singer with 100% raw sex appeal💕💖💕🌟
Seen him on 3 different tours in the 80's , always a great show.
Still listening today (2018)
Loved this guy years ago, still love him today, Awesome songs👍
Dont say No is maybe the greatest album ever. Damn that thing had like 9 solid hits on it....Loved that album when I was 17. well, still do..
My first concert!!!! Def Leppard opened up 1981 ATLANTA GA!!!!
My bad he opened for them....see I'm old lol
I was at that show too! First U.S. show for Def Leppard.
Who is still jammin to this in 2019?
Me Proudly!! You should obviously think about time than enjoying the Great Classic Rockers!!!
Make that 2020 !!!
STILL PLAYIN 2024!!!!
I remember rockin to Billy with my best friends when I was a teenager way back win ! Fantastic band !❤🎉
ISN'T IT SIMPLY AMAZING WHAT PASSES FOR ACTUAL MUSIC THESE DAYS ? ? ? SO DAMN SAD FOR ALL THE KIDS & YOUNG PEOPLE -- THEY REALLY HAVE NO CLUE OR IDEA WHAT TRUE MUSIC IS.,............,.
Yes we do.. that’s why we are listening to the great liked Billy and not crap pop radio!
@@no1nestandsalone387 Congrats to you !😄 you obviously know good MUSIC but are one of the very few.....
MILLENNIALZ MIST out. So sad
No clue in many aspects of life.
True words of a douche tool
The whole band is great, Billy is fantastic and insanely underrated. But holy shit that bass player! Catch what he’s doing in the song it’s really fantastic.
A few years later he was part of Sammy Hagar and Neal Schon's supergroup H.S.A.S.....hes very respected
Bass player used to play for Jimmy Morrison and the Doors
@@donnaharrison3281 The bass player in this video, Kenny Aaronson didn't play with the Doors. You are thinking of Doug Lubahn. Doug played on Billy's next record and also went out on tour with him.
@@glueforall Yes he certainly is.
Doug Lubahn was a lefty player, this guy here is a righty. Unless Doug was ambidextrous
Man I wish I’d have been born in a time to go to shows like this. So many great live performances in this era.
Damn! This was awesome! I remember my older brother going to a concert back in the early 80's. Also love The Stroke.
I worked that show (Usher) made $8.00 a night and saw every show! Billy Squier killed it!!
I seen them in 83 in Cedar Rapids Iowa tickets were 8$ ea. Great showo
Now they are crazy ass trump zombies!!!!!!!!
You were very lucky!!
I never saw you as a rocker, Hedy.
@@cchanc3 It's HedLey
Billy squier is a mix between robert plant and jimmy page
ive always thought the same thing. you can tell his greatest influence was The Zep. specially this song. (and its an easy & fun song to learn) but.... he had some awesome jams as a result.
Same thought here. If he can still sing, and Plant doesn't want to tour, Jimmy should recruit Billy.
god damn that is accurate! pardon my outburst there but wow, too true
Yeah, the first time I ever heard the song I thought it was LedZep.
I always thought this was a Plant/Page song when I heard it on the radio as a kid. Haha.
July 30 2022 still rocking with Billy . I rock with Billy everyday. Billy Squire deserves to be in the rock -n- roll hall of fame
YES I agree 💯 he belongs in the rock and roll hall of Fame !!!!!
So much talent .
Just watching this video totally made up for missing them in concert 40 years ago. The guitarist is totally underrated. Both 'Don't say No' and 'Emotions' were ass kicking rock and roll albums
He is such a underrated guitar player .
He wasn’t a classic “lead guitarist”, but, like Sammy Hagar, had enough to riffs up his sleeve to take the spotlight on guitar for awhile. Like Hagar, Billy Squier also had an outstanding dedicated lead guitarist in his band - RIP Jeff Golub.
@@VinslomBardy I just learned lonely is the nite. Killer riff
@@i8ittoo Yeah, I totally remember playing that one when it came out. Great tone and structure all around. I actually looked up this track because I’ve been dialing in my Telecaster, and wanted to hear what that riff sounded like on my rig. I ended up re-learning it all over again, just for fun.
@@VinslomBardy yeah it's a great tune to play. Really get play some great chords together. Dialing in the tone isn't that easy either. I used my ultra tele for that one. Along with my blackstar 20 watt, and bluesbreaker clone .
@@i8ittoo I’m a Tube Screamer TS 808 guy myself. My Tele Pro sounds amazing through it, even with my crappy Peavey Valve King amp, lol!
Squier's best song. He's just so good, and the lyrics ad rhythm of this song make it classic.
The whole album is FANTASTIC
Really outstanding lyrics and melody on this song!
Whole band is fantastic. Bass, drums, guitars, the works.
I love the 80s!
Those were some of the best times of my life, Billy Squire one of the many best 80's singer and rockers.
Stephen J Stevenson SquiER
I'm 52, remember his heyday well, I'm a fan. But Had no idea he is such a talented guitarist.
I remember listening to the album and memorizing all of the lyrics in middle school. Love this!
I saw him at the Old Massy Hall in Toronto. Very small venue. I was in heaven. 🎶
when music was real
It is real but the problem is its real bad
His voice delivered live like it should 👍😊
My 80s life would not have been the same without this bad-ass, kick-ass Rock-N-Roll, Thank you Billy Squier! Where would we be without this kind of music. The scene today without the Rock spirit in the air looks a lot like the hell I feared as a teen. We were wild and free back in the day in comparison. Good times are forever man!
DAM! again….OUTSTANDING.
Shit….I was 10 Years old when this show took place and I remember playing this cassette tape EVERY where I went.
Thankyou Billy and Crew!
I used to listen to this on my sister's A track like when I was 12, in 1984, now I'm 50, the 80s were the best with no sell phone and internet!
Different time I know but...all those kids just reaching out and looking at him. Nobody watching him through their 4" screens while he performs.
Turd Ferguson good point
We knew how to enjoy a concert back then.
If they had phones they would’ve had them in the air. Different times for sure not different people.
Maybe because it's 1981 ...
Sounds as good as he did back in 81
One of the greatest ever! 99.9% of all who listen this sings along!
Looking back at times like this make me feel like we have slipped into a alternate reality and everything sucks now...
Got this concert on VHS tape. Wore it out playing it everywhere we gathered.
Seeing Ratt open up for Billy Squier, October 17th, 1984 was my very first concert.
Steven Shieldnight ahhh yes Out of the Cellar was a great RATT LP
When RATT was Ratt!
I saw em on that tour with my best friend, two fine honeys in a beat up camero. Those were the days man.
The GREAT Ratt !!!!!
Saw Billy on this tour and again in '82 when he opened for Queen. Saw Ratt open for Journey, I think, in '82 or '83.
I saw Billy Squire open for Queen the best concert, everyone was so stoked.He set the stage.
It is 2024 and this song is still rockin' hard! 👍
I got about you, I'm sorry! You brought me back to life, I was born in 1965! LYLT!
Billy doesn't get the credit he deserves!!! He should be a rock and roll Hall of Famer.
I was 14 years old when this album came out I caught it on MTV and it changed my world I was in a boys home I had a tough life my mother bought me the album and I had listened to this for 6 months straight everyday all day the album don't say no is my favorite of all time thank you Billy for bring sunshine in my life during a dark time!!!!!
Billy should be still in the public eye big time!!! One of my favorite guitar players, singer and songwriter!
There is nothing like a live performance when the artist changes it up to make it even more original .. just great
Saw Billy and Queen Aug 21, 1982 at Reunion Arena in Dallas, my sisters birthday! What a concert, top 3 I’ve seen and I’ve seen over 100 concerts since the mid 70s! Unbelievable night!
like wise seen them in vancouver, never forget it
DITTO..New Haven Coliseum
saw billy about this time at the notre dame campus, golden earring opened, man what show great times when we all got along!
TheTruthseeker59 I was there!
It's a screwed up world now I agree
@@1BigHeart777 sure was a great time for us rock n roll youth!
sure was! i would go back in a heartbeat!
Man oh man! He was, still is, one of thee most underrated artists ever! Listening to this takes me back- waaaaay back to the good old days ❤️ he was IT in my book- I realize my crush is still alive and well! 😘💛🥰
An era when rock and roll meant something. I'm fortunate enough to have lived through some great music and memories. Today's music is just empty. Zero heart.
Billy was real Rock ‘n Roll! There is nothing playing today that can compare to this Rock. Miss the ‘80s
Had the pleasure of sitting in with him on the drums on this song back in the Brockton Mass studio's on Montello St with Bobby Chounard (RIP) Talk about cool down to earth people. So many GREAT musicians came out of that old place!!
I'm from Massachusetts too .. Lowell specifically...is he originally from Brockton I know he's from the area? Didn't he also go to school at Berkeley as well in Boston
@@WhatsCookingTime He was at Brockton High when I was there, 1970-73
No, billy Squier is a Wellesley kid.
The bass player is Doug Lubahn who toured with played on Billy Squier's albums Emotions in Motion and Signs of Life. He was also involved in a lot of other bands including "The Doors" as a session bassist. Doug was born in 1947 and died in 2019, age 71. Amazing musician❣️💯😎🎧
- I used to see so many people making fun of Billy and his music but he is a badass. They act like his music sucked. HIS MUSIC IS GREAT. In my opinion. He rocks.
It's because of Rock Me Tonite. Have you seen that music video. He didn't do himself any favours with that one.
I never got that but that told me a lot about where I lived like I grew up in Lowell Massachusetts and I really liked him and some of the guys in the neighborhood like oh why would you like that guy I'm like what's wrong with his music. Basically realize that a lot of the people in my neighborhood were a bunch of s*** heads give me crap cuz I liked this band
@@Sean-me4fv what exactly happened with that
@@Sean-me4fv - Yes I've seen him prancing. MEN SHOULD NEVER PRANCE. I know it made him look bad. He is still a great guitar player and a decent singer. Yes my opinion of him changed.
@@WhatsCookingTime The music execs wanted him to go pop. He didn't want to do it, but had to because he was under contract.
Yo. Showing my age and damm proud of. The 1980's rocked. I was 21 and having fun at the Jersey Shore. Listened to his first album all the time. Damm good musicians.
#Reallife 🎬
Saw Billy Squire and Fastway in the summit in Houston
DECADES 50'S TO THE 80'S HAD GREAT MUSIC 2019 NOW MOST IS TRASH....AND WHEN THESE LAST REAL ROCKERS ARE GONE THAT'S IT OVER AND OUT. SAD.
Me as well.. Jersey all the way.. Sleezside park.. Lol
Saw Billy at the Byrne Arena, in the Meadowlands, in the '81 and again opening for Queen in '82 at Madison Square Garden on his "Emotions in Motion" tour. Listened to this while cruising the Circuit in Asbury Park back in the day.
