@@markseleood6623 Hi Mark, Forgive me, as I'm old and a lil out of touch: I don't get your point, friend. My point was for those of us who were into AFOS back then, MTV was our outlet - unless we were lucky enough to catch them perform live and be up close. The emergence of RUclips brings captured moments to life for every fan to enjoy - not just those who were at that specific show. My point was not about feeling like an outsider, and F *anybody* who makes you feel that way! Thanks for your comment!

@@markseleood6623 Honestly, concerts were way less expensive back then, but without social media, we relied upon newspapers, magazines, the radio, MTV ad spots & fan clubs for our tour info. Plus, back then, bands like U2, Duran Duran & INXS all played the larger of what are now smaller arenas (by comparison to today's 5,000+ seat venues). The absolute best was finding out a band you loved was in town, then going at the last moment and getting good seats or standing close to the stage at a smaller venue! I must've done that a hundred times, easily! In my life, I've seen exactly 370 concerts - ah, the memories! While I never saw Neil Young, I did see The Alarm! My biggest regret, Mark? That I wasn't into taking pictures back in the 80's! From '83 to '88, I went to 217 concerts, hung out / partied with many bands.

This was all about Paul, Flock of Seagulls was about Paul.... he was such a kid, but ever so brilliant, watch him with his cool moves. So badly underrated, bless him.
I'm 60 years + old, I still appreciate a gem like this. The 80's were the shit. We didn't realize how good we had it. What I wouldn't give to climb in the time machine with some of my friends and take a few weeks off
I'm in my mid 40s but I would damn sure take a ride back to the 80s!! Those were my pre teen years but still had a blast!!! Early 90s not as good but still ok, early 00s sucked and today I find myself asking that damn question we all do, what the hell happened???
This takes me back to 1982 driving from Pennsylvania to Maryland to go to the club Deerpark Lodge, in my 1971 Karman Ghia convertible, down the highway with this tape in the cassette player and this song blasting as loud as possible...ahh, good times...
Yeah but these guys did pioneer the use of drum machines. There's a really good interview with them - all four of them - out there somewhere and they talk about it.
It's funny: in some ways I measure a band's worth by its lack of success. You only know that they are pushing the boundaries if they have a few failures behind them. These guys did but they never really gave up which says a lot of positive things.
I really liked Paul Reynolds style and he had the 80's dance style down pat. His riffs are memorable. Reminds me of the Riffs from Elliot Easton of the Cars in the late 70's. What a grand time for music. I was fortunate enough to see Flock of Seagulls at the 1983 US Festival. I was close to stage left all Memorial day weekend.
Glad that i was born at the right time to enjoy the 80's + 90's in full enjoy, now i'm 58 years young still love to listen and dreaming how it was in the 80's.
Paul Reynolds proving that you don't have to be overly complicated or play a million different chords to be a really, really, really good guitar player. Certainly one of the best guitarists to come out of the early MTV era, and that statement might be selling him short.
He only played a few notes in this. But his style and the special sound of his guitar makes all the difference. This song wouldn't work without his simple riff and unique sound.
The girl at 3'28" with the blue shirt. Omg, what a beauty. She's just loving it. I was around 17 when this monster tune came out. Great times, back home in England.
Yep, we are all parents now, some of us grandparents. But we were kids during the best time imo. New Wave exploded in popularity, and died just as quickly.
Brings back so many memories from the 80's. Who would've thought back then that their singers hairdo eventually would be adorned by a future president of America.
One of my favourite songs of the 80’s. Still love it today. The guitar solo is the finest on any pop record from the 80’s. What a sound. Paul’s sound defined AFOS. Class.
The 80's were such a magical time. Not a worry on my mind. Food miraculously appeared in the fridge, a case of beer was less than $20, not a bill to be paid & IMO, the best music ever. I'm now 57 & I look back on these days with such reverence. Don't get me going on the music of today. Thank Christ for RUclips.
Where would this song ever be without Paul's guitar style and creatively composed little parts, it's like a second vocal line it's so pretty, he really made the bands' sound work so well in the early days. Great band.
Just me speaking, but the guitar was the first "line" that I was following. Even if the vocals did hold their weight as a smart melodic counterpoint, it was really the guitar (and to a lesser extent the synths) that WERE the sound of AFOS's songs. It's what set them apart from everyone else at the time. Certainly not the drums (nothing against this particular drummer, it's just that every 80's band of this ilk seemed to fall back on the same basic head-jerking beat.)
@@HughCorbyCruick But isn't it recorded with electric drums??? I seem to recall from he org. Music vid.They used electric drums. For me it's more the usual thing. Hurrying through the song,by playing it fast.
Paul Reynolds (guitarist) joined the band in 1979, when he was 17. He replaced the original guitarist Willie Woo. He left the band in 1984. In 2003, he rejoined the group for an episode of VH1's Bands Reunited. Before the performance, he was interviewed about why he left the band; he claimed that he was too young for the "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" and that he was exhausted from all of the performances. In early 2018 he rejoined the original lineup for their first new album since 1984's, Ascension.
I reakon youtube should have a feature called 'VHS mode', where if enough people pause a video at a certain place, it inserts fake tracking lines, just so you know a thousand other people have paused and frame-advanced at the same place..... like we used to do back in the 80's.
Paul Reynolds was one of the best guitar players of the 80s. With a unique sound and style. Criminally underrated. No many guitar players sound better live than in the studio.
@@paulreynolds1760 Hi Paul, I'm a big fan of all the 80s guitar greats like Gary Moore etc..but you have such a distinctive sound and fantastic melodies in your playing...always appreciated your playing.
This was 'the shit' in my day. Love it. Proud of this era. The 60's - 2000's is about the last of the good music. Maybe a few outliers in the 2010s, 2020s', but not much.
Class of 1988 here....FOS were my beach music. Got to see Mike Score and his band last week. He looks great and his band were very talented, playing all the hits!❤
The first time I heard this I was living in Suva, Fiji. It came on the car radio and I was nearly catapulted out of my seat. I loved it from the first few notes and sat mesmerized, listening. I still love it today.
this live performance kicks ass, i mean just look/listen at that intro...the smoke, the synth wave sound of seagulls, mike score's silhouette and hair amidst the all that smoke, just menacing and fierce 👌
Since the release invertising Rockstar GTA Vice City in 2002 i miss a lot of good music. This song was the main sponsors for the game best hits. I grow up through the 80s to my teen, born in 1962 boys i heard lot of music and didn't know the band name. i treasure those moment in time and darn i miss the 80s I can't believe this song i was 20 in 1982 and if i had a time machine i go for a visit lol
Paul Reynolds will always be an underrated guitarist, even though he single handedly created the wavy 80's guitar sound. Just a genius that needs to be held in higher esteem. And to think he was only a teenager while in this band.
Under rated comment,completely agree. As much as I adore EVH and shredders 80's guitar woulda sucked hard without the clever minimalist splashes and spritzes that Paul (and others) offered.I think 80's pop guitarists in general have been undervalued compared to the Eric Walsh Van Gibbons. Guys like Elliot Easton for example.
I bought him a drink in a pub called the Borough in Sunderland several years ago. He didn't think he was that great a guitarist even though I told him he was.
Im a lifelong drummer and 52 now.played songs from both bands over the years in cover bands.and i love both of those guitar players.but elliot easton is the man.helped our guitar player learn the leads for a few cars songs back in the day.before you could just look on RUclips.and did a lot of stop and go back on the cd for him.one that comes to mind the most was " best friends girl" lead.had to have it note for note.what a great lead part.
@Mike Cap Mike, it's a joke, lol. I know that his hair, probably more than anything, fairly or not, defines the band, for 30 years now yes. Cheers be safe.
@@jdevassydevassy5024 he probably hasn't talked about his hair in years either.to be 18 years old with hair as long as my back.to 52 and can't cover a good comb over lol
Really really great! Love this band! The 80’s! Real music with real singing! Not like today where it’s some angry guy talking the angry words! Not singing. Not real music.
Really? That's your post? They sucked in the 80's and this was their only hit...but you claimed you would basically give up your soul... hmmm another idiot....
Paul is simply mesmerising. He dances with that guitar, as if it is human. The music is absolutely genius. I could watch this, for the rest of my life...in fact l think l will❣️ WISH I WAS THERE...❤

i miss echo effect, he could improvise that.
Didn't he use a penny as a pick?
@@inkhaotic4426 I seen a doc about that, pretty crazy
virtuoso even
@@inkhaotic4426 yup
Paul Reynolds and Elliot Easton never got the recognition they deserved, so here it is.
Chrìstoρhεr I completely agree with you! Both great guitarists.The Cars is another favorite band of mine.
@@tamaragarrett3625 Mine too!
Im a lifelong drummer and 52 now.played songs from both bands over the years in cover bands.and i love both of those guitar players.but elliot easton is the man.helped our guitar player learn the leads for a few cars songs back in the day.before you could just look on RUclips.and did a lot of stop and go back on the cd for him.one that comes to mind the most was " best friends girl" lead.had to have it note for note.what a great lead part.
Elliot easton

Amazing musicianship. This is pumping! So glad I was at school in this window of fantastic music. Class of 86!
Música maravilhosa dá minha juventude 💗😻😻😻😻😍😗
What a sweet guitar sound! What a rhythm and drive! That`s a real MUSIC!
at 3:12 Paul Reynolds goes on a rage,.. I mean that guitar starts to smoke., . . PAUL IS THE BEST!!!!
That's his fingers smoking he had to stop as he was about to spontaneously combust!
Recorded on Betamax, Meanwhile a stranger searches the audience for Sarah Connor...
I like his hair. The lead singer. Has anyone ever mentioned his hair before?
hahaha 😁
@Mike Cap Mike, it's a joke, lol. I know that his hair, probably more than anything, fairly or not, defines the band, for 30 years now yes. Cheers be safe.
@@jdevassydevassy5024 he probably hasn't talked about his hair in years either.to be 18 years old with hair as long as my back.to 52 and can't cover a good comb over lol
The 1980s was the greatest years of my entire life. We just cant experience this same feeling anymore. In the future i am in now
Music that made you want to live forever
THIS IS WHAT WE CALLED REAL MUSIC FOLKS
THERE'S NOTHING BEAUTIFUL THAN THE 80S
That intro. Paul Reynolds legend.
Now this is what i called music and the audience is having a blast...80's fuckin' RULE!..RAD BABY!🤘⚡🔥...2021 and still listening...Wicked!🤘🤘🤘
REYNO!!! He's like a superhero. Without his guitar he's Paul. Strap on the axe and he transform's into REYNO the guitar machine!
Really really great! Love this band! The 80’s! Real music with real singing! Not like today where it’s some angry guy talking the angry words! Not singing. Not real music.
LO BUENO JAMAS PASA DE MODA.... AGUANTE A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS!!!!
Trump was such a great singer back then...
I knew someone else would see what I was seeing, thanks for not disappointing me haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best President
Hahahahaaaaaa🙃
XD congrats man
Damn what I would give to see them in concert back in their day.
Really? That's your post? They sucked in the 80's and this was their only hit...but you claimed you would basically give up your soul... hmmm another idiot....
We had tickets to see them in Michigan, but they canceled and I never got to see them. Must have been when Paul fell ill.
@@bonscottrocks1728 Tit
Saw them at the Mann Music Center in Philly back in the early 80's. The Fixx opened up for them. Great show.
@@bonscottrocks1728 This was NOT their only hit in the 80's. THEY DID NOT SUCK!
Paul is simply mesmerising.
He dances with that guitar, as if it is human.
The music is absolutely genius.
I could watch this, for the rest of my life...in fact l think l will❣️
WISH I WAS THERE...❤
Your a legend if your here listing in 2024 !!!
Just wow. You must have to appreciate those notes playing. Prestigious guitarist paul was.
This is by far the best performance of this song that they did in my opinion.
the gutarist is good
he was still in his teens when he cut this track. a talent
He was seventeen years old.
Every singe person in this video is happy....wish people were the same today
We remember our youth and now it's time we shall pass from this place of these memories, only to be forgotten... I LOVE YOU ALL!
