RIP MYLES GOODWIN A true Canadian LEDGEND >> A voice that spans ALL time ,,, and the bands HARMONIES are Textbook some band ! glad i grew up to this ... and im really pleased to see YOUNGER people grooving and this ORG HARD ROCK
In popular culture "Roller" has been featured in several films, most notably Joe Dirt (2001),[8] Grown Ups 2 (2013),[9][10] and The Heat (2013).[11][12] It also has been in several television shows such as Freaks and Geeks season 1, episode 3, "Tricks and Treats"; the "Pilot" episode of The Americans in 2013, season 2, episode 6 "Take Me Away" of Being Erica in 2011; and the 2009 Canadian documentary The Beat Goes On: Canadian Pop in the 1970s, which also included several other April Wine songs.
I’m 65,great seeing your generation light up when you hear real rock with real musicians,hats off to you guys,it’s been on my playlist for 50 years,later Dudes
Yet another great band from up here in Canada that doesn't seem to get much attention down south, nice to see that you liked them. Many more great songs from these guys too, I see you've got more reactions done for them, cool. Another band I didn't see anywhere yet on your channel is BTO, also from Canada, aka Bachman Turner Overdrive. You gotta check out their song Taking Care Of Business, great tune to jam out to
It's such a great pleasure as a 57 year old to see the younger generation keeping great music alive! I was around 16 years old when I saw this band in Buffalo, to this day it was one of the best concerts of my life! Thanks guys for letting me relive one of the best musical experiences of my life! Lay it on the line by Triumph would be nice to see you react to! Thanks for the consideration!
Also 57 and love me some April Wine! Saw them open for Nazareth and BOC in Detroit and headline at Royal Oak Theater outside Detroit. I have a couple April Wine t-shirts and when I wear them random people will see it and give me the thumbs up or say, "OMG April Wine!".
Man , the Canadian rock I grew up on in the 70’s is probably a gold mine of hidden gems you’ve never heard of. April Wine “I Like to Rock” ... Triumph “Lay It On the Line” ... and BTO “Four Wheel Drive” , just to name a few.
Growing up in the 80's in Michigan (Baja Canada) April Wine, Triumph, Aldo Nova and Rush were radio staples. I love this song. Try "I like to Rock" and "Just Between you and ME".
April Wine's best was their earlier 70s prog-rock. They made this type of music during the 80s. Personal not my favorite of their songs. Too " formula-rock" of bad hair bands...
One of the first concerts I went to as a teen!! THREE lead guitar players! Awesome rhythm section!! I’ve been listening to this song since 1978 and it’s still my favorite rock shuffle!! You don’t hear tunes like this being made anymore! Welcome to the world of real musicians gentleman!!
I'm 59 years old and have always loved them. Their "Nature of The Beast" Album is their best and drove them to stardom in the 80's. "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen" was a big song off that, but so were a few others on that album. I would suggest looking into that. Great reaction, Good to see the younger generation discover the hidden gems that weren't hidden to us old fogeys. :)
Actually gentlemen, there are 3 Dueling Lead Guitarists. April Wine were the First Band with the Triple Guitar Rack Attack. You need to find the Original Video for this, it is here on RUclips. Then you will get full understanding of AW's historical place in Rock.
You need to listen to "All Over Town" my favorite and Sign of the Gypsy Queen" There was a lot of descent bands of the eighties, this band was one of them.
I watched these guys practice in a garage in 71 72 when i was 6 living in Waverly N.S. seen them many times in concert. I love when i see people discovering this band. The solo is played by all 3 breaking it up . To cool.
I believe the day MTV started, April Wine was the 14th video played in rotation and ran for quite sometime. Such a great band that so many have either never heard or even know of and its great to see some young people hear them for the first time and get there name out there even if its 45 yrs later... 😉
Im a Gen X Canadian guy from the Toronto area. I was lucky enough to see these guys play quite a few times. One of my favorite bands of all time. And they have a ton of amazing songs. Just one after the other. A band you can listen to their albums front to back no problem. Great reaction. Subed and thumbs up for sure
"I Like to Rock" and "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" are also hits by April Wine. This is one of my favorites from them. Being 53, they were big in the 1970s and a lot of fun, a pre-cursor to 80s hair bands. They toured a year or two ago and I almost went and saw them. I really should have. What is really cool is they invented this stuff. What may sound ordinary today, was even more cool back then because no one had done anything like it before. Glad to see and hear you guys pick up on their sound today with so many choices of music to find this gem and appreciate it! You might also enjoy this from the same era Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" ruclips.net/video/PAGqYERL4YY/видео.html
I'm a rock'n roll freak who grew up in the '60s and '70s - and as much as I hate to admit it, I'd not heard that track from April Wine before. Thank you, guys! PLAYLIST BOUND!
As an Ottawa Valley farmboy Canuck rock'n'roller who was a teenager when this was on the airwaves, welcome to what we cut our musical teeth on, guys. We listened to this on EIGHT TRACK TAPES in the car!
Lots of underrated Canadian bands and April Wine is one of them. Also see Bachman Turner Overdrive, Tragically Hip, Chilliwack, Big Sugar, all bands that should be bigger than they are.
@@O_Towne_Bear Especially Streetheart. They were soooo good. Everyone does Rush and Guess Who, but there are so many worthy Canadian bands that nobody ever reacts to.
3 guitarist's... saw them live in "79 and they did an extended version of this tune with a duelling 3 guitar solo. Was insane. One of Our best Canadian bands ever !
Every single guy in the band had an instrument in hand. No slackers. Three guitarists, a bass player and the drums. Plus, added bonus...they can all sing very well. It was on the radio in Canada a lot. lol
Hahahaha absolute pleasure watching you youngin’s triple head bob (like some new school rust belt Night at The Roxbury or Dwayne and his other brothers Darryl 😉😃😎)to our triple axe Canadian treasure of yesterday that ole 🇨🇦 rollers like me are so aware of. Seriously... so fun to watch you guys listen and love. Not a “reaction vid” follower but you 3 got a thang lol. 🤘
Aprile Wine is a rocking ass band! Tight as hell!! They have plenty of great songs!! One of my favorites by them is "Crash And Burn" One of their hardest rocking tunes!! Just killer musicianship!! I saw them 8 times back in the day! Never failed to bring the house down!! A definite rabbit hole you'll want to go down, Truly underrated band!!
The gentleman on the right called this a 'hidden gem.' This song has been around for 40 some odd years! So glad the younger generations are getting introduced to this music.
7:15 "I'm thinking there's goin g to be a nice solo in this".... he's about to find out what an understatement he just made!! RIP Myles! (BTW... it's THREE guitars!)
Being that April Wine is a Canadian band, myself growing up in Alaska as a teen, we all loved April Wine. Lots of other great songs from this band. "I Like To Rock" is one I have always enjoyed.
April Wine started in Halifax, NS, but were based in Montreal for most of their career. They were one of the frontrunners back when Canadian rock was in its heyday in the '70s & early '80s.
I agree with the comments that April Wine are definitely a highly underrated rock band. next you really need to check out the song “I Like to Rock” which showcases some of their triple guitar attack. also, a hidden gem of theirs which has the best play on words EVER would be “If You See Kay”.
Glad you guys enjoyed this old gem. It was always on the radio in Canada. You'd hear it at roller rinks and high school dances and such from the 70s and 80s.
Buddy says "I think there's gonna be a nice solo in this". All I could think was, prepare to have your face melted off, not one, not two, but THREE! guitars doing a "call and reaponce" style solo. Probably one, if not the best, guitar solos in rock history (no disrespect to Alex, Rick, Jerry, and other Canadian greats) 🤘⚡️🇨🇦⚡️🤘
I've loved this song since it first came out. Still one of my favorite rock songs of all time. I could see that you guys genuinely enjoyed it too and that just makes my day. :)
I was born in 1960....I grew up with the best music ! I remembered when April Wine first came out.!.I still.listen to them !.I have all.their music on vynal.. Reel to reel..8 track... Cassette..CDs.! Great music ! Check out more of their music ! You'll love it !
From Wikipedia: "Roller" has been featured in several films, most notably Joe Dirt (2001), Machine Gun Preacher (2011), Grown Ups 2, The Heat (both 2013), and Game Night (2018). It was used in several television shows as well, such as Freaks and Geeks season 1, episode 3, "Tricks and Treats"; the "Pilot" episode of The Americans in 2013, season 2, episode 6 "Take Me Away" of Being Erica in 2011
There are so many hidden gems. This is sort of a forgotten song on classic radio rock. There are others. The rabbit hole is going to take years to explore.
Love to see your reaction to music I grew up on. If you want to hear another bad-ass Canadian musician you have probably never heard of, check out Colin James. He has lots of song, but my favorite was always Chicks Cars and the Third World War. It's got everything you guys love...killer vocals, guitar and sax!
From Canada ; these guys were my inspiration to play guitar . Bass , 3 six strings drummer to lead singers . Fast train early radio hit , Miles Goodwyn lead singer , guitar , Brian Greenwood singer , guitar ,Bass Steve K. LANG he was awesome , Gary Moffatt guitar back vocals if you listen closely the guitars are alway playing a different part from the other or in a higher lower key. Especially on I like to rock which depicts the love from Stones Beatles and then their own rythm oh drummer Jerry Mercer u know
Three guitarists in this group like Skynyrd. Some amazing seventies bands out of Canada. B.T.O, the Stampeders, Chilliwack, Trooper and of course early Rush.☮️🇨🇦
When they played it live, the spotlight followed each guitar as it soloed. As the changes got faster, the lighting followed in sync. Very cool to watch live.
Especially here in the states, April Wine is one of the most unheard and under appreciated bands in all of rock. Truly a Rock 'N Roll mystery I'll never solve. This review is a couple of years old, so by now you guys may have gotten to some of April Wine's other great tunes. But like, "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen" and "I Like To Rock" are very high on my list of all time great jams. I just discovered you guys today and I've watched your Van Halen "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" review and this one. I have sub'd and will be checking out your reviews often. Great job, guys. Lots of fun.
...I understand your tastes/preferences...and Love this take...I have a recommendation...Procol Harum Album: Barricades...song 'Simple Sister"...The lyrics are nonsensical but has a nice build, however 2 minutes and 33 seconds into this song you hit the Gold and hear a combination of instruments put together so well makes this the best part of this song...well worth the listen for where it takes you...Thanks guys
In the US, you often missed/miss out on great Canadian bands & artists. The bands that emerged in the 70s & 80s were absolutely epic, fantastic, and amazingly talented. The list is HUGE, guys. 🔥🔥🔥
Canadian legend. Their airplay and concert draws were huge here in Canada. How could they have not been international giants? Other great Canadian legends you should hear: Max Webster Streetheart Triumph Frank Marino
Keep adding April Wine hits to your playlist. They are my favorite nostalgia go to band from the good old days. Myles Goodwin’s fantastic voice and the 3 guitars make for a rich sound.
Yes April Wine is BAD ASS AF! I have no clue why our amazingly talented Canadian rock bands haven't been played in the states and if they have, obviously not enough. I've loved these guys since they first came out, since I was a little girl. I absolutely love them 🇨🇦 🎸 🎶 🎵 ❤️ So glad you guys enjoyed this. Check out more of their tracks. They're amazing! Love your reactions. For your young ages, you guys have great taste in old school music. Love your channel! Keep up the great work 👍🏼
April Wine great band with so many great tunes . Cheers !!
April Wine was our hidden Canadian secret. Still so very underrated in the States. Too bad. What a great band!
Dude, northwest Colorado, 70’s and 80’s, everyone had this 8 track or album.
Thank you for sharing them with us.
I
Needs to be in Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
AW got LOTS of airplay on the big AOR station in St. Louis (probably still in rotation).
All over the radio In Chicago..
I’m from Texas and I love these guys!
April Wine was incredible live in concert. One of the best bands live I have ever seen.
Me too!

They played at my High School. It was a FANTASTIC high school dance.
Welcome to the 70's!!!
80s Dummy.
April Wine has one of the greatest rock ballads and junior high slow dance for me with "Just between you and me".
Love their facial expressions at the beginning and the head bobs... they knew within 10 seconds how good this is...

I was born in ‘70 but had a cousin 8yrs older so I was not allowed 🚫 to go astray. No regrets
"Spaceship Superstar" by Prism
There are 3 guitars in April Wine.....
@@O_Towne_Bear oh, very nice call!
Pat travers , rush , triumph , april wine so many great canadian bands we grew up with in the 70s what a great time for music ! 🎸🎹🎧
The 70s were the best years for music period.
The crew: "OMG - two guitarists!"
The third guitarist: "Hold my guitar pick..."
Haha ! I was thinking the same thing. "Oh no guys it`s even better, there`s three guitarists, not two !" Lol.
@@paulcarfantan6688 actually all four of them were playing solos...bass included
My first concert! April Wine opened up for Rush, really I was there for this band, still listen to them all these years later
One of the best bands to ever come outta Canada!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🤟🤟
what about trooper or skid row or rush
Seen them three times , amazing sound on stage
F'n Love That Band!!!
April Wine is an incredible band! So many gems! Their library is a playlist on it's own!
Growing up in the 80's in Michigan (Baja Canada) April Wine, Triumph, Aldo Nova and Rush were radio staples. I love this song. Try "I like to Rock" and "Just Between you and ME".
April Wine, Triumph & Aldo Nova were all my go to bands in HS! 🔥 Loved these groups...esp AW! My first Concert! 🥰
Myles Goodwin one of the best and most underrated voices in rock.
Agreed what an axe man too
We lost a true Canadian rock music icon, our beloved and tremendously talented Myles Goodwyn on December 3, 2023.
From a Canadian music-loving chick.
I stumbled across an interview with Myles here on RUclips after he passed where he explains how this song came to be.
110%, all the best...
This song is on the radio all the time. Here in Canada.
In the movie Grown-Ups 2...and yes, it's a great classic rock tune 👌
Adam Sandler knows his 70's to 90's rock tunes!
Welcome to my every day radio experience. April Wine, Ozzie, Def Leppard, Queensryche, Krokus, Motley Crue, it was good to be young in the 80's.
April Wine's best was their earlier 70s prog-rock.
They made this type of music during the 80s.
Personal not my favorite of their songs. Too " formula-rock" of bad hair bands...
Now you fellows have seen what we have been trying to tell you guys for the past 20 years.! The freaking 70s man!
One of the first concerts I went to as a teen!!
THREE lead guitar players! Awesome rhythm section!!
I’ve been listening to this song since 1978 and it’s still my favorite rock shuffle!!
You don’t hear tunes like this being made anymore!
Welcome to the world of real musicians gentleman!!

Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Amen Brother....High Octane Rock "n" Roll !
@@Mr.56Goldtop Sorry meant Canadian group with the triple rack attack forgot to add the Canadian part. You have corrected me Sir, thanks.
@@toddstevens13 No problem brother!
You need to listen to "All Over Town" my favorite and Sign of the Gypsy Queen" There was a lot of descent bands of the eighties, this band was one of them.
It's on the radio here in canada all the time. April wine had dozens of great rocking tunes.
I watched these guys practice in a garage in 71 72 when i was 6 living in Waverly N.S. seen them many times in concert. I love when i see people discovering this band. The solo is played by all 3 breaking it up . To cool.

This reminds me of me and my buddies listening to records while sitting on
a sofa and doing bongers in my friend's mom's basement back in about '83.
One great band that very cleverly utilized three guitarist. They wrote out specific parts for each guy.
from the same album...“hot on the wheels of love” or “right down to it” and the ballad “rock n roll is a vicious game”
Im a Gen X Canadian guy from the Toronto area. I was lucky enough to see these guys play quite a few times. One of my favorite bands of all time. And they have a ton of amazing songs. Just one after the other. A band you can listen to their albums front to back no problem. Great reaction. Subed and thumbs up for sure
I remember this in Oklahoma in the early 80's out on the river beach,bond fire and drunker than a left handed football bat.
Good times.

Way to go guys! Excellent pick from my cruisin days. 68 Mustang, built motor, big ass tires, full tank of premium. Yep!
Such an incredible CANADIAN band! One of many....
Harder faster should be mentioned more as one of the best albums ever.
Agreed.
Agreed.
I graduated in 81 and our HS year book had "I like to Rock" on the cover, as our theme.. We loved April wine
Great Album !
Amen!

One of my favorite songs from my teenage years! Saw them in 1979 they opened up for Styx. They blew Styx doors off! ❤
As an Ottawa Valley farmboy Canuck rock'n'roller who was a teenager when this was on the airwaves, welcome to what we cut our musical teeth on, guys. We listened to this on EIGHT TRACK TAPES in the car!

I saw April Wine at LuLu’s bar in Kitchener, Ontario Canada on New Year’s Eve 1998. Awesome Canadian Band! ❤
Damn I miss Lulus
Guys I have seen these guys 3x and got their autographs on my old Nature of The Beast tour!!
3 guitarists in this phenomenal band
Seen them 3 times. So good. 70's, 80's.
Been listening to their music since the 70s.still do, great band,.
I agree with the comments that April Wine are definitely a highly underrated rock band. next you really need to check out the song “I Like to Rock” which showcases some of their triple guitar attack.
also, a hidden gem of theirs which has the best play on words EVER would be “If You See Kay”.
Totally agree, grew up in the 70’s also, here in America, rush, triumph, April wine, my favorites, so underrated!
Welcome to Canada boys, enjoy
Glad you guys enjoyed this old gem. It was always on the radio in Canada. You'd hear it at roller rinks and high school dances and such from the 70s and 80s.
Buddy says "I think there's gonna be a nice solo in this". All I could think was, prepare to have your face melted off, not one, not two, but THREE! guitars doing a "call and reaponce" style solo. Probably one, if not the best, guitar solos in rock history (no disrespect to Alex, Rick, Jerry, and other Canadian greats) 🤘⚡️🇨🇦⚡️🤘
This tune jams, it used to be on the radio all the time, you had to be in your 20s in the early 80s to hear it, I seen them in concert

I just discovered you guys today and I've watched your Van Halen "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" review and this one. I have sub'd and will be checking out your reviews often. Great job, guys. Lots of fun.
Welcome to Canada.
Rock stars are this way, over here...
ridin thru jefferson county gettin high listenin to april wine was a fucking blast in 1984
Saw them in 1981 backing up Nazareth, love em. 2 songs like this one from them are Big City Girls and All Over Town.Of course crash n Burn is bad ass.
...I understand your tastes/preferences...and Love this take...I have a recommendation...Procol Harum Album: Barricades...song 'Simple Sister"...The lyrics are nonsensical but has a nice build, however 2 minutes and 33 seconds into this song you hit the Gold and hear a combination of instruments put together so well makes this the best part of this song...well worth the listen for where it takes you...Thanks guys
In the US, you often missed/miss out on great Canadian bands & artists. The bands that emerged in the 70s & 80s were absolutely epic, fantastic, and amazingly talented. The list is HUGE, guys. 🔥🔥🔥
Canadian 80s summers Rocked! April Wine toured Canadian arenas prior every album release - I never missed a show out west.
Canadian legend. Their airplay and concert draws were huge here in Canada. How could they have not been international giants?
Other great Canadian legends you should hear:
Max Webster
Streetheart
Triumph
Frank Marino
Rush....
The guy says ," I know music", and he has never heard this great rock gem? Obviously he doesn't know music.
As a fellow Canuck, I agree with some of the Canadian bands out there! Max Webster, Yeah! High class in borrowed shoes!🇨🇦🇨🇦😁
Don't forget about Trooper!
Moxy
Keep adding April Wine hits to your playlist. They are my favorite nostalgia go to band from the good old days. Myles Goodwin’s fantastic voice and the 3 guitars make for a rich sound.
Best outro ever! Check out more as they are a unique band.
One of my favs ever. And that ending is the bomb.
Yes April Wine is BAD ASS AF!
I have no clue why our amazingly talented Canadian rock bands haven't been played in the states and if they have, obviously not enough. I've loved these guys since they first came out, since I was a little girl. I absolutely love them 🇨🇦 🎸 🎶 🎵 ❤️
So glad you guys enjoyed this. Check out more of their tracks. They're amazing! Love your reactions. For your young ages, you guys have great taste in old school music.
Love your channel! Keep up the great work 👍🏼
More April Wine please!!!! 💗💗💗
April Wine is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first concert, it was amazing! Great reaction guys!!
Great band seen them atleast 5 times amazing every time
Three guitar players trading licks. Watch the live version! "Rock n Roll Is A Vicious Game" is a killer ballad also.
This song and MANY other great bangers played all through the late 60's through the mid eighties, the 70's was a great decade for GREAT music.
never listened to them before 15 seconds later play list ....love it...viva la canada
Silver Dollar and Roller are my two favorites by this band. Great reaction!
They have so many hits....mainly heard along border states with Canada
