Please check out Loving you by Minnie Ripperton and I'm wishing on a star by Rose Royce Loving your reactions to songs that was so much a part of my growing up in the 70s and 80s Two wonderful women singers
I think underrated is more so lack of exposure. Paul gets his props from the dedicated guitarists. The majority of people don't know or care about technical guitarists. Great musician tho.
Mr Big came in at a bad time, the hairbands decade feast fizzling out fast and people were all wanting to hear the new Grung bands like Pearl Jam. I agree they were very talented, the party was already over though when they got there.
This is good perspective. I was young when this came out and didn't realize the timing aspect of this song and band. This song is undeniably catchy and that singer is wildly talented. I always wondered why they never amounted to much.
This song never ever gets old! Eric Martin's voice is AWESOME!!!! Unfortunately, the drummer passed away from complications to Parkinson's (2018). RIP Pat!!
@@Nerd_of_Anarchy Yeah, not properly - apparently, they did do 5 shows in the US, during September/October 1991 and a few in Canada, too, around that time (and 3 in 1993), but nothing over there since. It's quite well documented in the British rock press, that Thunder were all set to tour the US in 1992, but then 'grunge' happened, and the tour was immediately cancelled - they obviously never really had another chance. If anything, the band are only known in the US (if at all), for DIRTY LOVE, which featured a certain Pamela Anderson in the promo video.
It's a good song, but to me, the guitar riff just seems too complicated. It feels like someone trying to out-do Sweet Child o' Mine, but ending up making something that's just too elaborate.
It's too bad Mr. Big's first big hit was this one, since that's what they're most widely known for now. They have a pretty large catalog, a very interesting history, and they can PLAY. Check out live stuff and check out Paul Gilbert in particular to have your face melted clean off with guitar amazingness. Good songs to check out in no particular order: Stay Together Take Cover Just Take My Heart Rock n Roll Over Lucky This Time
LOVE this song❤️❤️❤️❤️. Now I’ll have this song stuck in my head for DAYS! Great reaction. I enjoy so much seeing you appreciate the songs nd bands that I love!
This is my favorite song from my teens, it's why I suggested it because at a time when it was all the rage to be the skinny girl it gave this busty girl hope and a little self esteem boost that there is someone out there for everyone...even if you looked like Dolly Parton. 😁
Same here!! (Username is a stupid long running joke lol I’m a woman) as a girl with an hourglass shape growing up during the “heroin chic” era in the 90s I always felt less than the skinny girls. Loved this song though. Made me feel like someone out there would think I was beautiful.
I would recommend their song Just Take My Heart. They also did a lovely cover of Cat Stevens Wild World. I know, it is hard to not clap along with the song. They were bigger in Japan than the states. A lot of people likely remember the song, but not the band as they just did not get much radio play. The only caveat to this seems to be the bassist, Billy Sheehan. Maybe because he was in David Lee Roth's band prior to this, so was better known? He is still a well respected bassist.
I really hope you don't ever apologize for expanding your mind and taste to older music. For example, this song is pure collaborative talent, that's it. A rarity in todays music in my opinion. A couple of instruments, and a huge raw voice with great back up harmonies. For me, it puts a smile on my face and yes that may be corny, but it's memories, they can last a lifetime! Just enjoy :)
Man! This song broke my heart when i was a kiddo lol when it came out I had the tape that I played on my grandma's little boom box constantly... Then one day that damn boom box ate my tape! Like destroyed it! There was no winding it back up. And my mom wouldn't buy me a new one!!!!
Mr Big were a British rock/pop band starting in the 1970's . . . their best known song here in the UK I'd say was, "Romeo" - reaching No 4 in the charts and staying in it for about 10 weeks or so . . . it is also worth a listen to for its vocals as well by the way, Jay . . .
Great band, they had a lot of great tunes. It's considered a super group, all great musicians. Check out Just Take My Heart, Alive and Kickin, Green tinted sixties, wild world.
It never occurred to me that they popped on the scene just as grunge was taking off. Loved this!! Another couple of big haired bands Honeymoon Suite and Platinum Blonde. A couple of Canadian bands big in the 80's.
He's amazing, he can tell the future!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was actually watching To Be With You, and I remembered they did a cover of Wild World by Cat Stevens... I had left that comment around the beginning of the song, then when it was finished I checked to see what else he had up and there it was lol
One of my fave song from these guys......Ur right,, lead singer 's got an xceptional voice.. whatI I 💕most about 80's songs is the lyrics that realy touch my. heart. Their melody makes me wanna sing or dance along just like u ! I💜 all ur reaction videos, man....ur the best!👏👏😍
This was from when I was a teen, and many band came out with a "powerballad". Guns n roses had Dont Cry, Metallica had Nothing Else matters, and MIchael Bolton who did a lot of rock...just all togheter changed to only ballads. His earlier work was songs like Fools game and Everybody's crazy. MrBig did this, but I can honestly say I dont remember anything else from that album.
Another fave band of mine, other fave songs of theirs I love are Take Cover, Green Tinted Sixties Mind, Free, Addicted To That Rush & Wild World awesome songs.
So after giving it some thought I think I have a song I would love to see your reaction to: "David Bowie - Fame" or "Fame (2016 Remaster)" either or. They're both the same. Just the later vid has a little bit cleaner audio.
Eric was already a legit solo act when he came to see my band in San Rafael, CA back in the day ...all of us in the Bay Area knew he would make it BIG one day...pun intended.... great reaction thanks...more please
I have 3 more to post after this then I'm done
Fantastic! Thanks Jay ✌️🇦🇺😘
That's a lot for 1 day!
Don’t worry, what you do is so welcomed. Rest my friend.
Excellent I'll be waiting

Loving your reactions to songs that was so much a part of my growing up in the 70s and 80s
Two wonderful women singers
Eric Martin was a criminally underrated vocalist.
I totally agree. Such a beautiful voice. So unique.Extremely talented.
One of the most underrated guitarists of the 20th century, Paul Gilbert.
He’s #4 in top ten shredders of all time in guitar one mag
I think underrated is more so lack of exposure. Paul gets his props from the dedicated guitarists. The majority of people don't know or care about technical guitarists. Great musician tho.
@Shiby23 Well stated! I am fully on board with that statement.
Mr Big came in at a bad time, the hairbands decade feast fizzling out fast and people were all wanting to hear the new Grung bands like Pearl Jam. I agree they were very talented, the party was already over though when they got there.
This is good perspective. I was young when this came out and didn't realize the timing aspect of this song and band. This song is undeniably catchy and that singer is wildly talented. I always wondered why they never amounted to much.
Exactly. I remember being disappointed that they didn’t blow up like some other, less talented bands. Just bad timing.
Fastball- The Way
Barenaked Ladies- One Week
Lenny Kravitz- Are You Gonna Go My Way (You'll love him--he plays EVERY instrument on his albums.)
Fastball was such a unique sound. Plus I know BNL Stunt album by heart. Probably in reverse too.
Seconding Barenaked Ladies and Lenny.
@@thisisisabella3634 Fastball - You're an Ocean
@@breadnapkin Out of my head
Yes to every single one of these!
This song never ever gets old! Eric Martin's voice is AWESOME!!!! Unfortunately, the drummer passed away from complications to Parkinson's (2018). RIP Pat!!
I loved this song.
Hahaha yeah this and Green Limousine The Badloves remind of Brisbane!!
Me too!
oh gosh, me too! That 80's hair was to die for!
It was that rasp in the voice!
This song takes me back!!
I'm feeling some 'High Enough' from Damn Yankees.
Where my Gen X peeps?
Shred legend Paul Gilbert on guitar. This band was a victim of Nirvana, this song hit pretty much right when hair metal got taken over by grunge
Yes, and bass legend Billy Sheehan!
Nirvana was just so good and it was high time for a change. Hair bands had a long run.
After More Than Words I KNEW this would be coming along sooner than later
Yeah.... A BETTER MAN by THUNDER, is another of 'that type', although somewhat lesser known.
@@timsmith1278 They never made it to this side of the pond. But I'll give them a listen
@@Nerd_of_Anarchy Yeah, not properly - apparently, they did do 5 shows in the US, during September/October 1991 and a few in Canada, too, around that time (and 3 in 1993), but nothing over there since.

@@timsmith1278 Thanks for the history! If that ever comes up at pub trivia I will have to do a toast to you
@@Nerd_of_Anarchy Ha! Thanks...
Mr Big. “Any Way the Wind Blows” 👍🏻
You don't hear pure voice like this much anymore.
"Oh man - they've got me clapping..!" 😂😂😂
Eric Martin's voice is pure gold!
"Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" rocks out. Paul Gilbert can play.
It's a good song, but to me, the guitar riff just seems too complicated. It feels like someone trying to out-do Sweet Child o' Mine, but ending up making something that's just too elaborate.

Good songs to check out in no particular order:
Stay Together
Take Cover
Just Take My Heart
Rock n Roll Over
Lucky This Time
@@misterflibble9799 It's not actually super hard to play. Once you get it down, it's fun. I think it's one of the coolest riffs out there.
@@woodch
Take a walk, Colorado bulldog, daddy brother lover and little boy. Addicted to that rush. Great tunes
I didn't think I knew this at all but once it got going the penny dropped, 👍
I'm a straight 80'S JUNKIE, so this is on my regular playlist! 🔥🔥🔥💪💪
He has one of the most underrated voices! I wish they lasted longer than they did..he is truly talented
Oh my goodness forgot this gem 💗. Love it 💥🤭
One of my all time favorite songs ❤️
Martika---Toy Soldier!
Yes!
LOVE this song❤️❤️❤️❤️. Now I’ll have this song stuck in my head for DAYS! Great reaction. I enjoy so much seeing you appreciate the songs nd bands that I love!
Omg.... LOVE Eric Martin! And what a voice!!!🥰🥰🥰
I was wondering if you had already reacted to this song, so I searched and here we are. You are on the ball 😝🎶
This is my favorite song from my teens, it's why I suggested it because at a time when it was all the rage to be the skinny girl it gave this busty girl hope and a little self esteem boost that there is someone out there for everyone...even if you looked like Dolly Parton. 😁

One of the most underrated singer ever. Eric is amazing
I love this song sooo very much, is one of Mr. Big great song.
Gotta love the reaction to the first 10 seconds of this. "Oooo".... "Oh"...... "Oooohhhhh"....Clap along. Brilliant!
This song reminds me of the 90s!
I would recommend their song Just Take My Heart. They also did a lovely cover of Cat Stevens Wild World.
I know, it is hard to not clap along with the song.

Yeah, love Just Take My Heart. Possibly their best song.
They were also kinda big in Europe, they were on TV all the time. Love them!
My most favorite karaoke song, because everyone claps along 😂
Yes man 80s rock at its finest 💞💞🎊🎊
Mr. Big deserves those props. Find myself singing along every time I hear it. Beautiful song from them. Good reaction bro 💯💯
I was immediately mesmerized when this came out.
Can’t believe you are playing them Love Mr Big !! Great song When music was pure talent
This used to play on Much Music in Canada all the time back in the day.
I remember! That’s where I heard it from!

Devo - Whip It
Excellent request!
Yes! Thank you for checking out my suggestion! I knew you'd like it
Ahhhh the memories..l was only 29 when this song came out...loved it then and love it now !!
"Wild World" is a good song. It's a cover of a Cat Stevens song.
Man! This song broke my heart when i was a kiddo lol when it came out I had the tape that I played on my grandma's little boom box constantly... Then one day that damn boom box ate my tape! Like destroyed it! There was no winding it back up. And my mom wouldn't buy me a new one!!!!
Never heard of them but love what I’m heariing!
first heard them on a Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack cd lol
I'd personally recommend their third album "Bump Ahead" as well as the "Lean into it" album.
Paul Gilbert is an excellent guitarist along with Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Larry Carlton, Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai.
Ps. Please do John Denver's " Calypso " & " Thank God I'm a Country Boy" Much love & thanks!
Seconding!!!!!
Absolutely adore this song.
If truly madly deeply, by Savage garden is my heart,
This is my soul and it gets me every single time.
When I see u reacting to these songs, it reminds me how I felt seeing a new video like this for the first time on MTV.
Just good music!!!!
Love the guy's voice.
Mr Big were a British rock/pop band starting in the 1970's . . . their best known song here in the UK I'd say was, "Romeo" - reaching No 4 in the charts and staying in it for about 10 weeks or so . . . it is also worth a listen to for its vocals as well by the way, Jay . . .
Still one of my favourites
Wrong Mr Big, lol! This one is an American rock group. 😊
M.S.G., Love is not a game. Awesome band and similar voice.
what a nice song. today with this voice he would be a megastar
Great band, they had a lot of great tunes. It's considered a super group, all great musicians. Check out Just Take My Heart, Alive and Kickin, Green tinted sixties, wild world.
I loved this song and he's voice. 👍
It is always amazing to see that hard rock bands can do some of the best ballads.
There's an album that came out in the 90's called Bad Boy Ballads. It included this song and others like Livin' on a Prayer, and More than Words...
It never occurred to me that they popped on the scene just as grunge was taking off. Loved this!! Another couple of big haired bands Honeymoon Suite and Platinum Blonde. A couple of Canadian bands big in the 80's.
Listen, this song is everything when this song first came out, I was like holy shit! And this is what I miss about music back in the day
This is pure gold!!! 💖
I LOVE this song. Loved your reaction as well. Eric Martin(lead singer)has a fantastic voice.
Yessss!!!!!😍😍😍
Wild World is good, but it's a cover. Not knocking it, though!!
You asked, he delivered!
He's amazing, he can tell the future!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was actually watching To Be With You, and I remembered they did a cover of Wild World by Cat Stevens... I had left that comment around the beginning of the song, then when it was finished I checked to see what else he had up and there it was lol
But it had already been up for a few minutes, I just didnt know it yet 😜
Classic these guys were great!
Great great song! And great band.
Finally...
Every girl wants to hear this! ❤️❤️❤️
Great Song. Yes. These guys could sing. These guys could Play!
Blessed Union Of Souls....I Believe . Great song
Forgot just HOW good this song is and they are!!! 😊

Love this one. Eric Martin is so underrated. Eric co-wrote this one too. I think the lyrics are underrated too.
One of my fave song from these guys......Ur right,, lead singer 's got an xceptional voice.. whatI I 💕most about 80's songs is the lyrics that realy touch my. heart. Their melody makes me wanna sing or dance along just like u ! I💜 all ur reaction videos, man....ur the best!👏👏😍
One of my favorite songs of 1992. 💗
Another great 80s power ballad. I’ve done this one on karaoke a few times.
I have always loved this song. I listen to it probably once a week.....mostly because my husband hates it LOL
Wild World, one more of my favorite songs by Mr. Big.
Ok wow been a while since I heard this song. Very nice voice. Great choice great reaction Jay. 😀😀💖💕💖
They had me clapping too 👏👏👏
This was from when I was a teen, and many band came out with a "powerballad".

Omigosh what a great suggestion! I forgot about that song❤️✨
Another fave band of mine, other fave songs of theirs I love are Take Cover, Green Tinted Sixties Mind, Free, Addicted To That Rush & Wild World awesome songs.
My favorite song by them.
Fun Fan Fact* Mr. Big was formed together as a band in 1988 and they are still together in 2020..... God Speed more years to come!
Another song you brought back to life for me..... Thanks Jovaughn. ❤️
You're a rocker at heart I do believe LMAO you need to listen to the group Slaughter the song is called fly to the angels I know you will love it
So after giving it some thought I think I have a song I would love to see your reaction to:
"David Bowie - Fame" or "Fame (2016 Remaster)" either or. They're both the same. Just the later vid has a little bit cleaner audio.
Great Reaction!
This song takes me back. Thank you for this xxxx
Always loved this one too
Mr Big - Addicted to that Rush
This was my jam back in the day!
You're so wholesome, I love you. Great seeing someone reacting to my favourite tunes the way you do.
I was a teenager when this song came out and I still love it
LOVED this song
Slaughter : Fly to the Angels
I’m listening to all reactions to this song, I’m already subscribed to you. I love your reactions. This song gives me goosebumps.
I loved this song when I was a kid!
I’ve known this song for a long time and always enjoyed it m but I never stopped to find out who sang it. Great vocals
Eric was already a legit solo act when he came to see my band in San Rafael, CA back in the day ...all of us in the Bay Area knew he would make it BIG one day...pun intended.... great reaction thanks...more please
Thank you for reacting to this. I really wanted you to hear them.
I subscribed after seeing this video! Great reaction dude. Mr. Big is highly underrated.
Had to re-watch this. Loved the reaction so much.
