The 80s were an awesome time. I'm very grateful I grew up in the 80s. These kids today have no ideas what they're missing! Seriously!
Me too! I'm very grateful for being a teen in the 80's So many wonderful hits!
Agreed was 18 in 1981 and the rest is history
It’s 2023 and I heard this the other night. Still a great song. Reminds me of dancing in my bedroom at 15.
Now Mario the keyboardist got me hypnotized. Got the song spinning in my head and all I see is Mario's head groovin'.
His guitar tone on the lead is one of the greatest guitar tones I have ever heard.
These today so called "stars", will never reach this level of creativity, and produce this kind of master piece,
no matter how many millions and billions of views they will have...
How would they b stars then?
Раньше пели душой а музыку писали сердцем. Новое поколение это утратило поэтому и нет таких песен и музыки. Когда в песню вложена частица души и жизни исполнителя тогда и песня живёт века и больше. Но это очень очень сложно вкладывать и отдавать частицу жизни песне и музыке. Поэтому современные песни не звучат а музыка мертвая вот в чём весь секрет старых песен вниз вложена душа и сердце. Может новое поколение это поймет хотя наверное нет не сможет не все хотят отдать часть жизни души песне
Cultural degeneracy.
I remembered this era like it was yesterday. I was in the 10th grade when Flashdance was fire! 80's rocked 🤘🤘
This song will never get old !!!
The most 80's thing ive ever seen, great
This song is pure fire and magic! Even today, every time I hear it, I want to get off my ass and move, well, like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance!
It's from Paramount Pictures.
What a beautiful angelic voice 🎉🎉🎉❤
Brilliant song with complex emotional qualities. There is a sadness that I can't describe. Just brilliant
You had me with the sexy bear behind the keyboard and the guy playing a Moog Liberation keytar 🤟🎹 🎸
Mike is a good friend and one of the great Guitarest and singer
The instruments miming was great, it almost seemed like a live performance.
This song is definitely a master piece 🥧 from the 80s 🔥 💯 🎵 👌 🙌
Cool to hear a talented musician with a great hit talking normal and friendly. More warm and close to people. Like that
I listen to this song many times and not bored.
Always a favorite 🥰I love everything about this song 🥳amazing performance 🎸🎤🎧

Baterista : El Cobra kai.
Wow, always thought the cellos were some sampler. So good to see that. AN EPIC SONG FOR EVER.
80's the best and forever best Music Movies and great Soundtracksera 👍👍👍
Один из ТОПовых треков всех времен!
This song will never grow old, but obviously this was before people described the lead singer tank top as wife-beater clothes.
Absolutely great song
Really enjoyed Micheal’s guitar💎
I haven't the slighest idea how this guy wasn't a star.
I'm cracking up so hard looking at some of the ways these guys are dressed! But this song was such a 'beast'. We use to play it at all our gigs.
The only person to EVER sing live on ABS
For real? Why are others saying he lip synced
That moment when you think that it's a tattoo on his left arm (right from our perspective), but it's just a hairy arm :D :D
Lol, look on the HQ version of this and you'll see us women all in raptures over what a big, hairy hunk of a man he was. I prefer my men smooth but oh boy, we ALL found Michael sexy.
Part of it was because you simply never imagined that voice with such a bear (very cuddly one too) of a man.
That's the 1980s, baby, even women were hairier back then than most men are today.
Bahaha!!! Yes.. Wish he wore an actual shirt
Yup. Totally had me fooled for bad ink for a second.
Le batteur ne bats pas très bien,j ai connu mieux comme batteur dans maniac
🙏 muito obrigado meu Deus por ter Nascido na época de OURO puro DOURADO brilhante maravilhoso 😌
Thanks for shared!
For the past 39 years I've always mentally pictured the singer of this song (which I didn't mind as a kid) being some clean cut guy with blow wave hair, sweatband on head and dancing around in lycra - that would've been in sync with the Flashdance movie. Instead I find out a "Beary looking" dude sang this? lol.
it's a strong fit man
Love this guy
That song is from Flashdance (1983).
WOOOOWWW AMAZING PERFORMANCE
Muito top essa música, e todo um arranjo musical esse grupo e um dos melhores dos anos 80
Another great parody Whitney!! 🤩🤩Beautifully sang and very much “on target”!!
Eu sempre vou amar está música marcou muito na minha vida ❤️
9/10/83 airdate.
Wow! It has the same intro of "RICO MAMBO". I missed the 80s.❤❤
Did u see the dude cooling wit tha red sweater over his shoulder in the background. He was wit it!
Maniac.. forever!!
Excelente calidad de musica dios mejor se daña
That was awesome. Beautiful area you have there. Another fantastic video, thank you.
Estas si son musica
That's great Gordon, I'll get the back story on that later...no pun intended!
Still love it
0:35 0:44 staring into the soul
lol
I got a fever, and the only presciption its more synthesisers!
Uma música meio diferente das músicas norte americanas tocadas nos anos 80. Uma linha de música que não se faz mais ...
0:35 it's a me Mario.
No.
Keyboard- Mario Bros
Drums - Ermac
Vocal - Russel Crowe
Keytar - Ghostbuster
If he had a green hat he'd look like Luigi 😉
michael is so fucking handsome bear
Que de souvenirs
que de souvenirs merci pour la vidéo
Topper!!!!
still great !
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
GORDON PEEKE!!
Very cool Gordon!
I never knew he sang this song wearing a jumper
Lov lov lov esta musica ❤
Man Grizzly Adam’s was a really good singer and musician
Muito bom!
Looks like Russell Crowe 😘
If it wasn't a playback why the fadeout... 😢 So great song. 🙂 Thank you
The late John Gilston is credited with the Simmons programming for this track (played by Carlos Vega on the album?) so Gordon did a good job on the playback. Good to see no cymbals, who needs them when you have an SDS V...
Most of the drummers would use cymbals with the Simmons electronic drum kits, but : real cymbals, not the silly stuff pretending to be cymbals that came with the drum kit ...
J adord 😜👍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷❤️
Leçon de français par un Québécois , on écrit : j'adore
Leftie drummer, rare sight
Класс
Russell Crowe before Gladiator lol... I hate lip syncing btw
Nice Simmons drums!
lata 80 a wszystkie instrumenty już bezprzewodowe....😁
He looks like Ron Jeremy from the neck down. 😆 🤣
Not the waist down?
アイリーンキャラの歌う主題歌より、こちらの方がストイックで好き!
名曲ですが、この動画見ると最初入れ墨か火傷か?と思ったら腕毛だったという…流石外人。。
Looks like Richard Karn
Do you know songs that have exactly this type of music rhythm? Because I really love this song, but I can't find songs like this song. Can anyone say songs exactly like the "maniac " song?
can somebody tell me what guitar is he using on solo part plus what guitar pickup ?
Looks like a clear (acrylic) Telecaster. Can't tell what pickup he's using, though... the signal is processed...
a custom tele but you could get a similar tone by using a strat with single coil in the out of phase position.
Killer guitar solo
💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
Why was this song not used in Kevin Bacons footloose movie in 84
It's for Jennifer Beals.
The voice that doesn't go with the singer 😃
II. Gyula Tbh Lmao
Originally, This song was about a serial killer. It was written with a horror movie in mind. "He's a maniac!" Nobody wanted it, FLASHDANCE picked it and the rest is history. Masterpiece, either way...
dale like si lees esto en el 12/09/ 90 posiblemente estee muerto xD
💖😻🇷🇺💪💖👍💞
腕毛スゴイっす!
はじめタトゥーかと思いました…
くちぱく。
A eso le llamaba hombre , no ahora a las mrds de regueton
Video truly killed the radio star and that is a sad commentary on the American music industry.
El tipo de la boina es Nicolas Maduro con 55 kilos menos 😂
Nenhum ano superar os anos 80 os melhores, e essa nova geração de merda não chega nem aos pés . As músicas de hoje em dia é tudo cópia de músicas originais e magníficas, as cópias são coco💩 as originais são melhoreeeeeeeeee... e também as maiorias das músicas de hoje são só de putaria 😠. Por favor anos 80 retornem 😢😢😢😢 e acabe essa nova geração coco💩, volte anos 80 saudades 😢
Un teru. 😂😂😂
They could use a keyboard player to be honest …
bruh that’s fuckin Andrew Bogut
Two things caught my eye. That girl in the back with the shiny short skirt. The second was the hair on his shoulders and arms. Was there actually a time where that was deemed attractive?
westfield90 it was a time when people kept their mean thoughts to themselves. No one would ever think to say anything to him about it. Sad those times are gone
The drummer caught my eye lol
Yes, and that time is now
Might have been appropriate for a costume designer on the set to suggest a better outfit than an old dude rocking a wife beater with hairy shoulders and back on a teen pop idol show.
Pretty sure the kids were not worried about the clothes on Michael that day since the music was/is the most important issue we're dealing with here....I swear this generation worries about the most unimportant shit....🤔
old?
He was 29 in this
@@hevyonez97 The kids of the 80s were not concerned with the look, clothes and style of the musical artist? Are you kidding? This is the generation that killed the radio star. You mean Madonna was popular because she was a great singer? American Bandstand did not even permit artists to perform, they were forced to lip sync!!!! This fake generation is a direct descendant of the 80s. Where fake reality began..
@@chriswylie253 this comment proves you did not grow up in the 80s like the rest of us...it was 1983, and the majority of us did not care...we were taking in what we saw and enjoyed every moment of it...like I said before, this new generation is so concerned with the most unimportant shit whatsoever...we had an awesome time back then with 99.9% of EVERYTHING...please, let us continue to revel in what we desired while you do the exact same for YOUR generation and us OLD folks won't utter not a mumbling word......
He is GAY very very very very mutch.
Good song, but wow, you're enshrined for eternity with a black wifebeater and hairy shoulders. This guy's grandma clearly didn't advise him before the performance. Oh well, it was the time, but a shirt and jacket would've been a good idea. Nice gtr solos etc to go with the solid vocals.
Lip syncing and fake instrument playing. Maybe they shood change their name to milli vanilli
Shut up
Everyone lip synced on American Bandstand.
He did sing good live though. Look for his performance on a Spanish TV show. (Tocata)
Dude wrote the song, played 4 instruments and sang the song in tune and with a pretty good voice! He's no milli vanilli! Most tv shows in that era forced musicians to lip sync!
80s 🔥
