I dont always listen to April Wine play Roller , but when I do, so do my neighbors. I can never get my Fil of this group!!
Loved this band! They never got their due.
Was just talking about April Wine the other day! When we lived in Ontario, they played at my older sisters grade 8 Christmas dance haha. Beloved by Canadians, thanks Fil ❤️⭐️
They played many of my high school dances in Quebec.
saw them on the First Glance tour.
they played at my high school dance, 1973. Peace and Love from Canada
Myles Goodwyn is a legend! Such a great songwriter and performer. April Wine always delivered the goods. Thank you for giving them some love!
Myles will stop touring. His last show is March 2nd in Truro, Nova Scotia. The show sold out in 10 minutes. He hired a replacement singer to sing after that.
@@grattonland Now we know the reason why. RIP to a legend.
I feel stunned, didn’t even know that was a Hot Chocolate song, both great! Love your shirt btw.
👍
yeh same here april wine was a hit on radio 80s hot chocalate 70s in school
unlikely hit but april.wines version was on radio back then also was telling wop.recent years more common phish disco inferno cake i will survive even rockers firehose back in day covered chic in club show i attended
April Wine's "the Nature of the Beast" is one of my favorite 'good ole fashion in your face rock-n-roll' albums. Not a bad song on it. These guys were a very underrated rock-n-roll band.
I wore out that cassette twice. Need to find it on CD maybe. Love nearly every song on it.
Excellent! Thanks Fil.
First saw this great Canadian band in 1971 playing Fast Train. A Canadian icon of a band. Love them so much!!!!! 😀
Fast Train is my favourite song of theirs.
@@mrzee4862 it's a great song and if I remember they were at man and his world performing it on the local tv show called like young back in 1971.
@@rmcellig I first saw them play it in May 1971 in Toronto at something called the Maple Leaf Music Festival, Mashmakhan, April Wine, Mainline, Crowbar and Lighthouse. David Henman, the guitarist said it was inspired by a draft dodger they met in Montreal.
@@mrzee4862 wow I didn't know that!
This is awesome great
Was just thinking of April Wine yesterday. Such an underrated band. 🤘🏼
Always loved this song
April Wine was always known for having 3 guitars. It makes for a unique sound.
The lead vocal sits right in the pocket. Kicks major butt.
I introduced my husband to this band. The song was "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen." The guitar solo blew him away. He replayed it again and again. This band is shamefully underrated. Thanks for featuring this great musicians!
I had the opportunity to meet Errol, wow. He had the x-factor, a 'something' you can't explain. If you listen to his 'roar' on the track 'Emma' there's no reason why he couldn't sing metal. Quality song writing will transcend music genres. God bless you Errol and the rest of the band.
I worked as a local crew roadie for April Wine in the 80's
Today I learned that the founder & frontman of April Wine Myles goodwin has passed away today I believe at the age of 75 .
He was a talented singer / songwriter and multi instrumentalists.
May he R.I.P.
I enjoy your vlogs .
I also think you did a piece on the band Triumph .
Recently Guitarist Rik Emmet got diagnosed with prostate cancer .
I know one of the original guitarists, met him on FB long ago, good man. Cool.to see this here
Lots of great information in this video...Ghost Notes could be a Guff Fest band...and it made me smile that you took on singing the Jackson 5 considering where your voice is naturally.
This rocks big time these guys are rocking
I only just now learned that this was a cover... and I'm an old Nova Scotian, so April Wine goes all of the way back to my early childhood. The studio version doesn't let up at all, either.
The band put out mostly self-written songs, but covers also showed up on their albums. Elton John's "Bad Side of the Moon", and "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" by Lorence Hud were a couple of them.
RIP Myles Goodwyn.
Thanks FIL one of my favorite 70s/80s bands that are greatly underrated 🤘✨🎸
I grew up on the Canadian border and saw April Wine in 1976 and 1978. They played this song at both shows. Loved the band and love their version of the song. Glad you featured it.
Thanks for checkin out one of my favorite Rock-n-Roll bands. They have a long list of great rock songs unfortunately radio missed a lot of them at least here in the States.
i remember this song from about 71... and it was April Wine...
wow... i had NO IDEA it was done by hot chocolate... and i'm American...
I want to go back to 1993 again. 1983 wouldn't be bad either. Not just for the music but I'd buy Apple stocks while I'm there.
April Wine has been one of my favorite bands since first hearing them in the early 70's as a kid . . . For me when I listen to the album "Electric Jewels" - which is quite often - I have the same reaction every time and that is I LOVE EVERY SONG . . . 😁 . . . thanks for covering our April Wine! Happy New Year and all the best!
Never heard of band haha. Lots of 🎸going on, love your breakdown. Will miss live tomorrow. Thanks Fil & have a great wknd 😊🌵🍻🎶🎸🍔☀️
I wonder how One Eye Willy is doing 🤔
You did a bang on job in this analysis of this song. I never heard of this band or song. This performance was full of energy. It was interesting to hear about ghost notes... funny how our brains work.
Anyways I will leave with... Goonies never say die😁
One eye willy
Ok..
Lol
I've had April Wine pop up in my feed lately, and then Fil covers them. Honestly, I didn't follow them at the time, so this was a revelation.
Merci for doing this. Doesn't matter the band, or the genre, I'll watch Fil do an analysis.
They played at my high school dance in the mid seventies. Good players.
66 years old and I find out this is a cover from Hot Chocolate . Wow so cool blows me away 🤗
That guitar you're playing sounds great! I'm not familiar with the song but I had fun learning about it
Such a great channel Fil! I’d love to see you analyze another great Canadian band Saga, Ian’s guitar style is very unique
Just saw April Wine…last weekend. Myles still sounds great!
The bass player on the far right was the original lead singer of April Wine and the one who sang it in 1972.
Have you ever covered Manfred Mann and the Earth Band and their song, Blinded By The Light? The live version, extended version on The Midnight Special? Or the studio version. I would love to see you unpack this song. There’s so much there. Thank you.
Not yet!
I did hear the energized, full, uptempo rock version that did rise above the festival noise.
I totally dig Myles Goodwyn. Writer, vocalist and hell of a player. A true triple threat in the vein of Peter Frampton.
Great analysis that pointed out the details of both song versions including the similarities to the Jacksons song.
Saw them in 1971 at a local stadium in Truro, Nova Scotia. My daughter just got off the phone with me before I searched up your vid - they're touring again (a final tour), and she bought tickets to take me to see them play in March for this tour. It's like coming full circle. I never knew Could Have Been a Lady was done by anyone prior to them, so this vid is a fun surprise. They also made a serious hit out of Elton John's "Bad Side of the Moon". I recommend that one for a compare/contrast as well. :) Great vid. Thanks.
I love this song so much.
Good to see you Fil. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your comments and disections of the various content.
Excellent review.
April Wine really lived up to one of their songs "I like to rock"!
I'm a big fan of April Wine. First concert for me back in the 70's. I don't remember them playing this song sped up like in this concert.
This was a huge hit for them in Canada, i never even knew that it was a cover, here it's always been seen as an April Wine song. FYI there are much better quality performances of them doing this on RUclips, look up their 1981 in London Concert it's a great show and contains most of their hits.
Another great video cheers Fil
I wish I could of seen them in concert. " April Wine" is my absolute favorite.
Never knew this was a Hot Chocolate song always thought it was April Wine's.
Back in the 70's, every cover they did was better than the original ; Bad Side Of The Moon, Could Have Been A Lady, Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, and later on 21st Century Schizoid Man. Paid $ 2 the first time I saw them in the early 70's.
Love this song, this might be the 1st actual Album I ever bought (late '71) if we don't count them K-Tel ones.... lol. Still own it plus some others by these guys. Seen them a ton live, they used to tour all the small Cities so I seen them in Kamloops a bunch.
Toronto for me, I was visiting my Aunt ;)
K-tel records? Wow,bring on the advert memories ☺
April wine was awesome, saw them back in the 80s. I think it was the Harder Faster tour. 🤘
April Wine -great band
This was cool ! 🙂
They always had three guitars unique sound great band one of many Canadian bands RIP Myles you wrote the anthems of are happiest time's .
RIP Myles Goodwyn
Great band.♥️
Hi,Fil..! Thanks you for the '',hot chocolate ''' and your explanations, with or without chocolate, this group is interesting ,I will listen to you for hours..i go back into the. night,sighing...good nightt dear, Fil...kisses🔥
I'll be honest, I never knew that it was a cover. So cool. April Wine were always terrific in concert. Btw.. Adore that shirt.
You are a very good musician yourself young man 👍
Saw them at a Casino recently, Brian Greenway, and Myles Goodwyn and a couple of hired guns. Good show, played this...of course. And Weeping Widow, and Sign of the Gypsy Queen. Yeah, good show.
Love April Wine. Bad Side of The Moon is also a nice cover if an early Elton John song
I had no idea the original was from Hot Chocolate! Hey, I love your shirt!
I saw April Wine back in the 80’s. Also a band called Nantucket
Covered the April Wine version of this song in the last cover band I was in. A lot of fun to play, I just only wished more people knew the song. 😃 So it didn't stay on the set list unfortunately.
Thanks … that is why I’m here … looks easy enough to learn … but will it go over was my question
Montreal veteran guitarist Steve Segal is the third guitar in this video.
April Wine are a Canadian Treasure. They hit way out of their weight class. Some of their early stuff is absolutely fabulous. Fast Train. Straight ahead meat n potatoes rock and roll. Their 70's and early 80's hits are classics. They have a fabulous guitarist lineup and Myles Goodwin is a great singer.
RIP Myles Goodwyn 😢 the source is gone , his music lives on!
Phil, I saw 74-year old Myles Goodwyn of April Wine play at a local dinner club venue. I recorded a song on my iphone & the quality came out good enough for me to post it. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/mFx5yOO6AQo/видео.html Great voice & great guitar too.
Went over there to listen. Great recording Ross, thanks for sharing.
@@alexnutcasio936 Thanks Alex! Miles sang lots of the old April Wine songs and some of his more recent blues songs. All were great!
Thanks for the link Ross
My first time hearing the acoustic version of Gypsy Queen - fantastic!
They would play the multi act stadium concert circuit. Lol I saw them a couple times. Forgot about them...
RIP Myles.. a classic Maritimer. 🇨🇦
The Great ! April Wine
👍
April Wine or Hot Chocolate? Both, please!😊 April Wine is actually a new acquaintance to me, but I liked their sound. I'll have to check them out. Thanks for a great analysis, Fil!
Hey Johanna, April Wine has a long list of phenomenal tracks. From wholesome ballads with a touch of ‘50’s doowop to basic good old rock n roll. To me they were the epitome of a Canadian weekend.
I can pass on some tunes if you wish.
I saw April Wine open for Blue Oyster Cult and they blew boc off the stage.
Not when I saw them.............DFTR, one of greatest opening licks of all time.
@@alexnutcasio936 That was the thing, DFTR is their biggest hit, and they fucked it up right in the middle leading into the main solo. Everyone was like, "What just happened?" Forehead slap.
Sad that Myles Goodwyn has meanwhile passed on 😞
I had never heard either version of this song before! And I do know heaps of _other_ Hot Chocolate songs! 🤯 Not all that many April Wine ones, I admit; I'm most familiar with their 'Harder, Faster' album, which has another cover song on it: King Crimson's '21st Century Schizoid Man'! 😀 I'd heard it several years before the original (and had up to that point believed it was _their_ song, too! 😅) and have always liked it better than King Crimson's original 😊
❤️🌼🌺🇨🇦
Here is a link to April Wine's STUDIO version which IS in D. Down a semi tone of course is very common when touring and singing your brains out night after night.
ruclips.net/video/QPe39GmsF9k/видео.html
I am a huge April Wine fan, and only came into the Hot Chocolate original in 2022. Love love love it! That funky bass line just kills. Love the over all feel. Still love the rocked up April Wine version - Cheers
The album version was in D
RIP myles goodwyn
That's actually April Whine, the real April Wine died in 1986.
Hi great video, however, the hot chocolate version you featured here, is the re-recorded version which was heavier and even probably influenced by the April Wine version. The original version was slower and more soul/funk and didn’t have that bass riff. Guitar same though. Thanks.
Fil,
Please find the clean original recorded version of this song when April Wine was a 4 piece band available on RUclips. This loud convoluted stage performance is not what we Canadian's are used to hearing from April Wine. This is hurried with extra guitars way to loud. Thanks, much appreciate your channel .
RIP Myles Goodwin 😞
19:37 : So many similarities in songs?🧐
1st released by april wine 1972 hot chocolate 1974
The Hot Chocolate single was released in 1971, it was included on the Cicero Park album 3 years later in 1974.
@@wingsofpegasus was it same single as the 74? will listen i dont like hot chocolate unless i`m drinking it!! LOL funny wiki didn`t show that either.. might have to find better database thanks WoP
@@wingsofpegasus damn i like that 1971 version its way more funky and guitar is more upfront!
Should have used the the 45 version of the song by April wine . Much better than . Hot Chocolate actually did two different versions .
Much like The Hip, they were ignored south of the border. Shame.
Studio version on "Electric Jewels" much better sound.
What are you trying to say... that original versions and covers differ in instrumentation and sound.... well, duh, no kidding. Both versions are great.
A lot of cover versions keep the original arrangement actually!
*Wings of Pegasus 1993 performance audio isn't good appreciate videos Listening from Mass USA TYVM 💙*
They are tuned down 1/2 step … concerns me that you didn’t realize this
Not a fair comparison, go back to the original record, sounds much better and you see how they took an English minor hit, and make it their own. Also see Bad side of the moon.
You are so cute and I love your show! But.. the name Wings of Pegasus is the cliche of cliche 80's rock band names. Sorry! I lived the 80's and it was fun though. ☮️💖
I think that was kind of the point...but I may be wrong.
Yes that was the point!🙂
@@theresahoward7216 👏🏼👏🏼
@@wingsofpegasus thanks ☮️💖
Dude you're playing it wrong.
why would not have just played the record lol,....live as a rule sucks
april wine hot choclate awesome mate today another good disco cover is phish disco inferno unusual one heard in resturant today cake g. gaynor i will survive groovy bass guitar riff and trumpet another good cover cake is sabbaths war pigs they cakeize also my nephew saw show several years ago they rocked live he said war pigs they played audience loved it same i will survive then by odd coincidence just yesterday indie radio sheep go to heaven goats go to hell came on same groovy bass cool guitar riff trumpet ps mate trivia the sac. kings theme song in arena bball to this day is local guys cake
Always knew it was a cover. This British guy. Who is he anyway? He’s a nobody that’s who and he gets to talk about famous peoples songs? Why???
As Kevin Kral stated, their cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man isOMG!! What ABOUT MAX WEBSTER!!!!
This one's cool, though, Fil. Cheers.
Fil, you need your own Sirius XM channel!
I don't know if you have seen
'I Like To Rock' by April Wine? It's great!
