Man April Wine was the BEST in the 70s and 80s...PURE ROCK N ROLL!!!
I've always said that from 1977-1983 was the ABSOLUTE BEST YEARS FOR ROCK MUSIC!!!
I'm so glad I got to grow up in this era...i'm 50 now & I still listen to this music all the time.

I'm 52, Big hair bands 70's & 80's, early 90's rock.
52 and love the hairbands.
54 here we all lived in a day and age that will never be repeated. The era of the best music and bands. 70 80 90 rock on.....
Still lives in his mom basement...never mind him. As a musician myself April Wine is one of the best rock bands period to learn from and listen.
Randy Miller you saw was still are old man
Sadly most people will never know how underrated this band was.
There still tours
I'd like to think they will know
I don't know what it is about this band but it almost gives me Def Leppard vibes. If that makes sense
Or know this is a cover song (Lorence Hud?)
sort of the definition of underrated, no?
Sadly we lost Myles Goodwyn today 12/3/23. RIP Myles, you kicked ass!!
I didn't know this!!! How sad!!! They still tour. I wonder who has taken over for him with Vocals?
RIP😢
His book is very good too !!! r.i.p.
So sorry to hear Myles Goodwyn has passed away today. One of my fave songs from April Wine and a great live performance. Thanks for your contributions to the soundtrack of my life. Godspeed Myles. RIP.
Think of all the great music he gave us.
@@TheMctrog Just between you and me.
R.I.P. THANK YOU. For the music. God speed brother.🙏
Senior year 1981. Cruisin in my 72 chevelle listening to this band. Great times wish I could go back.
Cranking this song with my stock 12 watt 8-track player, cruising at 23 mph down a residential street in my '75 full size buick station wagon.
I am mexican 64 years old AND still listen this music
I am 68 years young and never get tired of listening to April Wine they were so underrated it amazes me still to this day .
Yea, i just heard this song is a remake. April Wine, Myles, did not write it. I was very suprised when i heard that.
I listen to them every day and I'm not kidding.....they are a fantastic classic rock band!!
I'm 54. Yes you damn right !!!!
@@bigsky3072 The version that Lorence Hudd sings is pretty damn good too !!
@Dan Kelly yes, i just listened to that one! Also, at the 2:20 mark. U will notice that Myles forgot the lyrics.
True Canadian rock royalty. Right up there with Geddy in my eyes.
RIP buddy. I’ll miss you.
April Wine and Rush were my 2 top Canadian bands ever. Listened to their music to no end back in my youth, and actually still play both a decent amount to this day. There are not many that can even come close to this perfection these days. These 2 bands made me fall in love with rock music. Myles will be soo missed forever
@@tonymeehan7859 What about Triumph, Saga and Loverboy?

Reminds me of when the world was a much cooler place.
So So True a better time for sure . We spent a whole weekend dedicated to April Wine lol. I am sure everyone in town showed up at one time or the other .. Lol
no shit................
That's true nothing like the past amen Dave huneke
It was a cooler place then
Amen brother!
I am 54 always liked there music. 80s was the best times wish we could all go back in time for a few more good days
RIP Myles..so many teenage memories listening to April Wine 😢❤
Same for me. 💔😢
Same here
Same here, one of the most amazing concerts I've been to the drummer was turning over it was awesome.🤘🇺🇸👍
Still loving this in 2024
The 80s stuff should never be forgotten. The junk nowadays is just junk.
Actually, if people enjoy it then I suppose that's all that's important. But subjectively speaking, IMHO, April Wine was certainly not a lot more than a standard mainstream band (no offense to Canadians), but certainly they really weren't anything special. More in the same genre with Def Leppard, Triumph, Night Ranger, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, big audiences, big shows, big sounds, but entirely pridictable and boring. I'd put Journey in that group, too even though it had some the best musicians of the time. AW may have had fine musicians, but it's music don't not break new ground nor was it terribly creative. More formulaic, standard stuff for commercial markets. It's really can't compare to what Bands like Rush, Elvis Costello The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Lods Triadores, YES, ELP, Queen, VH, Pink Floyd, The Stones and the Talking Heads, the Clash, The Angels, and even ACDC (with Bon Scott), were putting out at that time (Zeppelin was already in a death spiral since '75). Therr is GREAT music today, you just might not be accessing it, but certainly The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Noir Desir, Portugal the Man, Spoon, Beck, The Killers, among many others. Very few rock bands have their zenith extend beyond 1 or 2 albums, and 4 or more is very rare. It's the nature of the beast. So one needs to continually look for new music and inspiration even if it means looking outside North America and the British Isles.
A Very Distinguishable Voice, Group. I was born in 1963..What a Great Time for Rock and Roll !!
Me too 🎉
Same here
Rest in Peace,Myles Goodwyn,thanks for the timeless music
Rest in peace Myles Goodwyn.🙏
One of the best written songs of all time.
RIP Miles. Your voice is a part of my life soundtrack. Thank you.
Go rest high on that mountain Myles thank you for the music and the memories.
who in 2020, remebers this from the 80's? was in the Navy, had this cassette listened to it on my walkman!
@@manicboy76
What was your rate?
I was a MM, hole snipe, 1987-1997.
I traded styx grand illusion album for it
Saw them in the Soo! Back in the day! Good times!🇨🇦🎼🎹
@@ralphyization April wine. And eagles long time ago
I like to rock and say hello ARE GOOD tuens too la roo 😅📀🐦
♥️ R.I.P. Myles thank you for the wonderful music of our lifetimes🥀🕊️😪. This is the part I dislike about getting older, we’re losing the “greats” we grew up with en masse now.peace to all.
R.I.P Myles, you were the leader of one kick ass band.
April Wine is so fine.. Kids this is what Rock and Roll looks and sounds like..Damm 3 lead guitars kicking ass
April Wine is one of my favorite bands. The music, distinct vocals, and amazing performances are world class. I listen to them as often as I can. I built an April Wine channel and rock out when riding my motorcycle.
Myles, rest in peace! You brought us so much joy over the decades! The best!!
Awesome band so talented. Brought back good memories
I met Myles Goodwin after seeing the April Wine Live tour in Edmonton back in 1974. Great concert and an even nicer guy.
Very happy to have grown up with this band.
One of Canadas finest band.
My band in Las Vegas got to open for these guys! They were the greatest guys, had beers and conversation at sound check & after the gig. I'll never forget that night. The best people ever!
God,,,This song brings back sooooo many good times on our Harleys going out to Sturgis years ago.....met my wife of 30 years so far,,the miles we rode together ❤️ before the kids came ❤️,,, I'm 62 now,,,dont ride near as much,,,but still blast this classic while I sit in the garage and drink coffee now,,,no more alcohol and polish my old FLH........Thanks guys for some of the GREATEST MEMORIES in my life.......ROCK ON
Myles Goodwyn's voice is timeless... I was 12 when I stole my older brother's April Wine 8-Track and jammed out to it at my cousin's house. It was worth the beating.
LOL!
ROFL 😂 😂 😂
Remember that beating, it will keep you in touch with good music. Anything close to a beating and you will remember April Wine. Beating with a smile.
LOL! Absolutely worth it.
Agreed. Top 10 rock vocalist easy
One of the best live bands ever
Heck yeah Rock and roll will never die.
Thank You April Wine!!!
First heard you guys in '77 and it's 2023 now and I'm still listening. THE Greatest Band EVER......
without a doubt, one of the most underrated bands ever!
Lol that's a damn joke. They were an average band that noone ever talked about.
It's one of my favorite bands they only had 4 albums
I was listening to them in 77 or 78 I'm 58
@@charlielemmel311 I believe you meant KNOWONE, an yes they were UNDER RATED!
Explain to me how they were underrated. Also is it just standard for people to randomly say this band or this person was “underrated” that is on every damn video on CZcams someone says that same exact comment.
I ‘ll be 70 next month, and I’m still rockin’ on! Will be till they embalm me!! 😆😆😆
Nothing better than vintage wine.
This is my absolute favorite song from this awesome band ! Great tunes and great times back in those days !!!
Triple guitar attack! One of my fav bands from the fabulous 80's. So glad I was there to be a part of it!
Me too saw them a few times🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dual and triple lead guitars are somewhat rare and usually done mostly by Southern rock and long jam bands like the Allman Brothers, the Outlaws and Thin Lizzy. Thin Lizzy actually had a 3 and sometimes even 4 leads at some of their concerts.. also 2 drummers are common..
They were awesome 🤩
Seen these cats in the 80's then again 5 years ago. Was my 55 B day and we had row 8, sitting on the grass in penticton Bc. Aug, beautiful weather and DAMN. .The voice was bout 95% and the guitars 100% . After all these years THEY STILL HAD IT.. GREAT WAY to spend a birthday. Hell of a party...
I'm 58 and I just can't stop watching and listening to the greatest era in music history
Brian Swezey
Keep it up. Just think. We got to live it as well. Nothing fake back In The day.
Me too.
why would you want too''
Brian Swezey you’re absolutely right Brian because there’s nothing else ever will be made like this again
Brian Swezey I AM 57, DUDE YOUR SO RITE! Don’t know what these kids are listening to now.THIS is MUSIC,growing up in the 70’s was the BEST!!☝️☝️SKYNYRD,NUGENT,AEROSMITH,the list is ENDLESS! THE BEST OF TIMES HUH!✌️✌️👍👍☝️
Thank you April wine for allowing use to rock at home.
Every time i play this, i get goose bumps
God Bless! We are losing the great talents that shaped the soundtrack of our lives.. To see Myles passing is just another tremendous loss we all must suffer, God Bless his family and friends, God Bless the memories he and the band gave us R.I.P
RIP Myles and thank you for some of the very best music of my youth. 💔
One of the great guitar bands. And everybody could sing. Saw them live in the 70's.
RIP Myles.... You and your band gave me much happiness.
Probably one of thee best Canadian rock bands ever . I'll be 60 in May.i still listen to them .
I first heard " i like to rock" about 40 years ago... followed by "Just Between You and Me" then this song. I have been a fan ever since. From where I come from, I can guarantee only a handfull would have ever heard of this band.
Seen April wine in 1980 in Houston, one awesome show
RIP Myles Goodwyn. You are a rock legend
Kids these days don't know what real music is and never will. Very sad. Awesome band/music!!!
My older brother introduced me to April Wine through this album and song when I was teenager..I'm 52 now.
This band deserved more recognition than they received!
This is one of my all-time favorite rock songs!
Your gawd damn right
April Wine was the 1st Concert I saw on Cable TV...my brother worked for the 1st Cable Company in our area and "hooked" us up....get it? :)
R.I.P. MYLES. Big part of my childhood. Still rockin it!
So glad I got a LIVE SEAT..1982❤🎶🎶
One of the best Rock bands of the 70s & 80s.
Pure talent from God.
April Wine is Rock n Roll Badassery.
April Wine, our Great Canadian friends. Love Y'all! Always have.
Then, awhile back, I adopted out a foster cocker whom I was unshure he would be and was very fine with that, Clifford the Big Red Dog went to Canada. Adopted at age 11, blind, etc.
RIP Myles Goodwyn
Your Rock Music Legacy, will Forever
Rock On ❤
RIP Myles Goodwyn Dec 3, 2023 😢😢
I'm 62 now & when I was 18 or 19 (not sure) I saw April Wine live. Though I don't remember it all it was One of the best concerts I've ever seen. RIP Myles. You are sadly missed.
RIP Myles. One of my brother’s favorite songs and bands.
👊🏼🤟💪🏼Real Rock and Roll, period.
When I first heard this Band, when they were on top, my mind was blown!!!
And still blowing the speakers, today.
April Wine ROCKS!!!
This was the soundtrack of my young days. God bless you all.😇
Look kids real musicians and real instruments. Those were the days
Today's artists are graduates from the Disney channel.
why wud 401 stupid people down this group?
@@aman4peace Because they are stupid lol
Anything that makes music is a "real instrument", arsehole.
Like, are you saying Jerry's fire alarm bell (5:37) isn't a "real instrument"? Better never listen to "Oowatanite", then!
In 2004 my good friend took me to House of Blues in Orlando to see April Wine life, I have never even heard of this band, - they ARE GREAT and I have been a big fan since then, Bravo Canada
I’m 53 and still rockin’ this today.
Timeless.
I am 55 years old. I listened to this back in the day and I am still listening in 2020 and will until I am gone
Me too man
Me too. My neighbors hate me for sure
Same here, still rocking it
Hi I'm 62 = SEEN these guys 3 or 4 yrs ago = SIMPLY PUT IT WAS MARVELOUS

RiP Myles Goodwyn, you will always be one of the greats!
RIP Myles Goodwyn. You were an amazing artist
RIP Myles. You guys rocked!
Myles grew up just down the Waverly Road from where I live now. Saw them one of the last times they played. Big concert on the waterfront 2 Labour Day weekends ago. Man they still had it. THey should have been so much a bigger deal.
There are those of us that remember! Rock on!
I remember the first time I heard them! 😃 We were headed to Reno from Sacramento to party/gamble
In 1979..."Rollin" came on the radio and we were all blown away!!!...like it was an omen from the Rock n Roll Gods or something!!! Thank you April Wine!!😃✌️
April Wine was a very Underrated Band.. They put out good Non Commercial Music..They had their Own Style and were Great Musicians..
RIP Myles. Another great one has passed.
So good. What a time. Thanks Myles.
The more I hear it the more I like it and I've been hearing it for 40 years
Best time of my life is when i was in San Diego I saw so many concerts when I was in the navy there.I was 22 and now 64 Wow where did the years go?But the Rock Lives On
Man I miss the late 70's early 80's!
It's 2022 and I'm still loving it 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe one of the most under rated bands in the World.
Just emagen what they could've done with today's technologe
I wouldn't call them underrated, they were really big back in the day . Underrated is a group like the Gary Seidell Project , one of the greatest bands ever yet I can bet you never heard of them.
@@bigrigJim No I have never heard of them!
April wine is the best in 2021
Rest In Peace Myles 🙏 🪦
Brings back memories , some like it hot. . . . Stay strong and high my friends .
Aprilwine,Zebra,Pat Travers band, Scorpions,DIO, Dokken, Y&T. Lots of awesome music in the70's,80's IMHO.
Golden age of rock
You mentioned Zebra. Not many know of them. Great band. Fondly remember them from back in their heyday the early 80s.
Michael Schenker,SRV...all early 80's . Great music,good times.
I still get the chills when I hear this intro these cats just fn rocked every time we caught there act .So fortunate as a young lad OHHHH CANADA.🎸😎
Rest in peace Myles. Thanks for the Good tunes!
Great band first time hearing them in my life thsnk goodness for the Algorithm ❤
They are one of the most underrated bands of all time. As well as Zebra.
And Triumph.
Love all three bands.
Saw them open for Blue Oyster Cult in the 1980's. My ears are still ringing.
Oh the sound of my wasted youth...such a great Canadian band!!
I loved April Wine..reminds me of my high school years. Rest in peace Myles.
Jerry Mercer just killing it. He was in his mid 40's, and a family man when this was recorded. Such an overlooked heavy duty drummer.
Overlooked by no one who has ever HEARD HIM.
Why do people say such silly things?
He is a ROCK GOD!
@@notmyname3883 I said he is overlooked because when reading about great rock drummers, he is almost never mentioned. Of course I've heard of him why did you think I was here in the first place.
@@notmyname3883 April Wine ruled but sadly were barely known outside Canada. Even drumming magazines barely mentioned Jerry compared to many drummers out there; the average Canadian and especially the average American or British listener would not have known his name. April Wine regrettably got very little radio time in America and UK. I was lucky to see them three times in concert.
@@johnkeller5163 on the bright side, when they were played, it was exciting
He was a great drummer!

Listen to them every week. Hunted down the "Vintage Wine" Disc Set (4 CDs) a couple years ago.
