I would do anything to of been there to experience one day in those times I was born in 1995 and I love 70s and 80s music bet y’all had a blast then 👍😎
We had a good run from the 50s to the 80s and it started steadily thinning out since then.You used to be able to buy an album and be assured that every song on both sides was great.
I used to sneak into my sister's room & listen to her albums- she'd catch me & drag me out literally by my hair. This was on cassette & she had a Walkman, but same risks.
We'll never have music like this again. Billy Squier's sound is unmistakable and timeless. "Don't Say No" is one of the greatest albums ever created. Thank you, Billy. Reply
18 here. Mom and dad raised me on this type of rock. Only really NOW started to like Billy Squire and Billy Idol. Found THIS one again while I was driving through i-70 in a rain storm. Good driving music
Billy's "Rock Me Tonite” dancing seems to have turned a lot of fans or could be fans against him. It's stupid but it happened in our unforgiving world.
How could a song this great not make the Top-40 singles chart? It’s one of my all-time favorites, and Billy Squire was in top form. A pity the 1980s will never return.
This song got tons of airplay back then, so it might as well have been Top-40. Most of Billy's songs were very popular, if it truly didn't make the Top-40, it was because Billy didn't release it as a single.
Billy Squier could not put out a bad song! everything he touches turns into a solid gold hit. You can clearly see how much fun he's having, this is one of his favorites for sure
@@Jillady Believe it or not, Stroke is about the record labels stroking the artists to get them to sign off of their fair share of the royalties. Just saw an interview on that not too long ago and after Straight Out Of Compton, it kinda made sense.
@@RockDawg77 ahhh, don't tell her that! I'm trying to talk up on it and you and I both know that he knew what that song was really about. He told them it was about record labels but c'mon, let's be real, he knew, I know, you know and Jill Cameron definitely knows....
I am a big fan of Billy Squire. He was different from the others of the time because he wore no make up or fancy clothes, and he could dance, but didn't make a show of it. His voice is distinctive and his songs are something that I want to listen to more than thirty years later.
BADASS...an actual musician. Totally underrated. Billy - if you see any of this, know you are HIGHLY, HIGHLY regarded and we do recognize your INCREDIBLE talent.
Just curious: do you like any rock music from the 90's? I get the feeling that a lot of Baby Boomers gave up on music in the 90's. I'm Gen X (54 yrs. old).
There's something really special about this song. I wouldn't want to hear *anybody* else singing this - Billy Squire is the only one that I want to hear singing this. ♥️♥️♥️
The cover in “The Dirt”, the Motley Crue biopic, is phenomenal. Unfortunately It’s not on the films soundtrack and I have yet to find it in its entirety. There are clips, though.
Damn > I'm still rocking out to Billy Squier and I'm now 53. Sounds just as good as ever. This was always my favorite song by him > Timeless rock and roll.
I can listen to this tune over & over. Leaves nothing to be desired. Squier's music was & is up there with the best. Pure, unadulterated Rock & Roll at it's finest.
This song came out right as I was experiencing those very lyrics in my life, at that time. It was as if Billy was inside my head repeating what I was feeling and going through in my relationship. I'll never forget that nor the girl I was with.
I was raised on him. My mom adored him so we had to listen to it riding around in the backseat. I know all of the words and I can say that this whole album is is good. Just put it on and let it play
I'm 103 & I still love to listen to this guy. He's EPIC, AWESOME & the G.O.A.T. Did I miss anything ? 😂 Oh & I've listened to this song 1000 times! There I'm pretty sure I said all the BS that I see a lot on these music channels. 😂😂 ✌ Let me know if I missed something. 😉
Billy was so special , no make up., 1000 dollar get ups . Just him, his band Jean's and T shirt and let's go out and have fun and let the music do the talking..His voice was so good and he really put in a show. THANKS BILLY YOU MADE THE 80,S THE GREATEST ERA EVER, I LOVE MY TEENAGE YEARS REVELLING IN ALL THE GREAT SONGS INCLUDING YOURS. HOPE YOU,RE WELL.
When ya sound THIS GOOD all the time, there's no need for any "visuals" to sell their product: their sound, their excellent musical performance IS the show! I love how they KNEW that what they did & the excellent way they did it was ALL they needed. I feel like bands who resorted to theatrics were embellishing because their musical performance product wasn't sufficient in & of itself. In a way, I feel like MTV sorta "made" some bands believe they needed a "show" when all they really needed was a great sound and flawless performance. Like orchestras, just executing great musical performances.
I'm in my home in Colorado today on a snowy afternoon with this song blasting loud!! Billy, I love the way you move!!! Hope you are doing well. I had a few My Kinda Lovers who are now passed - those men will always have a special place in my heart because we never forget the ones who really turned us on...yeah baby!! XOXO
The 80,s will NEVER be duplicated or surpassed . I grew up smack dab in the 80,S and loved every second of it. They wouldnt have been as special without BILLY SQUIRE and his timeless music with great lyrics. MY 2 FAVES ARE IN THE DARK AND THIS MASTERPIECE but I love all his stuff. He seemed to have so much fun on stage dancing around and smiling .He brought so much energy and positivity with him it was IMPOSSIBLE to go to a SQUIRE concert and come out disappointed.
Such a sweet , sweet song and one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. How I never got sick of it is a miracle. It was way overplayed on the radio.
I always loved Billy Squier, he also worked with Queen they sang on more than a few of his songs I don’t think a lot of people know this I stumbled across it on one of his greatest hits albums on cassette. Edgy, smart, writes his on songs, a great teacher of music and just knows how to rock, thanks Billy!
As a kid i remember hearing this and I'm 48 obviously 80s kid..well from 75 but him an so many more ..mot the Hoople..golden earring..Joan Jett all ring in my head..music will never be the same..you can really appreciate the music from this era..
U ever just watch an old rock song video an tears start comin out your eyes because of how beautiful the song is an the artist delivery of the song?well yea that's me right now😢I swear I wish I could time travel an be a part of alllll these shows an experiences❤

This man belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame.
a long time ago!
I can't believe he is not in the Rock HoF.. with some of the non rockers there. 🤔
@@dchristopher7 he's not in or a member of the tribe you know
How is he not there already??
Absolutely!!!!
I'd steal my older brothers album, listen all day, then return to his bedroom before he came home 😂 RIP bro .... I'm sure you know now ❤
I used to sneak into my sister's room & listen to her albums- she'd catch me & drag me out literally by my hair. This was on cassette & she had a Walkman, but same risks.
😂 same ! Albums for me w older sister. Foreigner 4 n the Doors albums too .. 👍😎
🙏🏾
He knew when he was alive. Us big brothers love when the Lil ones take interest in our stuff. RIP to an awesome dude you related to.
How does that work? He's deceased so he has knowledge of things you did in the past?
T tops off flying down the highway, wind in my hair, pioneer tape deck maxed out. Good memories. Thanks man.
:-)
The early 80s were Awesome, Totally Awesome Hamilton!
The best of times.
It still works! 🤣😂Lets go do it again!
@@frsmoopus2864 Do it Again? That is the Kinks..."back where you started.."
I love the way he sings and dances around! No flashy clothes, just jeans and tshirts! Awesome. He is one of a kind!
Sexy AF
I second that! Normal rock music!
1981: absolute masterpiece
2024: absolute masterpiece
YES!
YUP!
Agreed100 n he’s feisty 😂 I love feisty 🎉🎉
The sound, clothing, lights, and even the music embodies the late 1970's and early 80's rock. Billy was just great rock and roll.
Don't forget the hair!!!
Billy, wherever you are, our 80s generation salutes you! You Rock.
The "don't say no" album is phenomenal not a bad song on that album will always be 1 of my faves
Amen! My sister had every concert t shirt too! I wanted to be her! She got me into loverboy ,ac dc etc
💯
GREAT album!
Facts🤔👍👍👍👍
Reminds of my crush

No one sounds like Billy Squire. Very distinct sound
Totally agree!
Yes I agree! He is awesome!
ABSOLUTELY 💯 💯 💯 🔥 🔥
@@terra9624 Thank you. You’re a true Billy Squier fan.
If you were alive in the 80s you loved Billy Squier. He is so cute and very cool. Very natural performer.
I wasn't born until 78 and I love billy squire
73 here and he’s SO cute! 80s kid
November 7, 1981 Opened for Journey at Ventura Country Fairgrounds. They rocked it so much energy. They should have been headliners.
18 here. Mom and dad raised me on this type of rock. Only really NOW started to like Billy Squire and Billy Idol. Found THIS one again while I was driving through i-70 in a rain storm. Good driving music
How can this song have only this many likes should be 1 million!!!
I agree!
Billy's "Rock Me Tonite” dancing seems to have turned a lot of fans or could be fans against him. It's stupid but it happened in our unforgiving world.
Be patient, grasshopper!
@@oppothumbs1a music video turned fans against him? Did he beat his wife during it or something?
No no sweetie,assopper ya that would be me😂

The best
we played it every day in the quad at school and in the smoking grounds.
God I miss the 80's
Billy Squier could not put out a bad song! everything he touches turns into a solid gold hit. You can clearly see how much fun he's having, this is one of his favorites for sure
He may enjoy the Stroke even better lol.
Or Eddie Money

Im listening to him right now. One thing that u forgot, his hair was not down to the crack of his ass and blonde
Squire?!?!’bbn. Nn
He had moves like Jagger before Jagger knew he had moves! American Badass!
Yesssss. I do miss my hair. I was dancing at johnnys hideaway in Atlanta ga last weekend to this very song. Our music. Got we getting old.
@@thomaswilson8634 I know we are getting older, but we are as good once as we ever were. Please refer to Toby Keith's song: As Good as I Once Was.
Billy, Billy, Billy,
There ain't enough words-
Rock on brother Man!
BADASS...an actual musician. Totally underrated. Billy - if you see any of this, know you are HIGHLY, HIGHLY regarded and we do recognize your INCREDIBLE talent.
It's almost impossible to hear this and not be transported back to being in school when it was released.
Sounds about right
Remind u of any thing
High school damn
@@mlicea6890 besides school, reminds me of Berserk and SHADY XV for some reason. 😮
Agreed 💯👍
One of the most overlooked musicians ever... so many hits!
I'm 70 yrs old and listen to Billy's music every day. Helluva guitarist and singer. ♥ His music never gets old..
Miss Connie you look amazing for 70 and yes his music will never get old.
@@ernestochavez9181 Thanks so much.
60 next month and still rocking out to Billy S
Also still cruising my Nova and listening same as back in the 80s
Just curious: do you like any rock music from the 90's? I get the feeling that a lot of Baby Boomers gave up on music in the 90's. I'm Gen X (54 yrs. old).
I loved Billy Squire! I had this album. Still love these songs at 59!🙂

Played the hell out this song and album back in the 80s. Genuine masterpiece
Joyful to add this to my make out list! Way to generate legendary music, Billy! Blessings to humanity.
Takes me back to my youth! Thanks for the good vibes 😎

The music industry couldn't handle Billy Squier because he was too good. Love this music.
Mark Clarke is criminally underrated as a bassist. His work on this album is second to none.
brings back the good memories of the 80s
Haven’t heard this for decades! Love it!
I sure remember this song at Skateland in the eighties! Miss these times!
Skateland whoa that’s a blast from the past, holy crap!
That's the exact memory that comes to my mind. It was Airline Skating Rink in Houston, Tx.
One of the BEST albums (cassette) of the 80's and all time!
Man, ROCK THAT STAGE! Billy Squire is AWESOME!💕💕💕💕
Awesome song Billy, the hook is amazing "my kinda lover, my kinda lover"
Im 62 still rock to B.Square!!
Thank you lord for the 80's ❤❤❤ so fortunate to be a teen then
Unmistakable voice right there!! They rocked so hard!!
Just take a look at him....other videos too...ty Billy for the 80's ❤❤❤
Just look...I grew up with him...such a great song ❤❤😂
I love this guy....I love the bass licks in this song.!!! B💃 🎶🎵
He can definitely move. He made my butter 🧈 🫠 melt back then.😘
Lol, melted mine too❤️🔥🧈❤️🔥!
A true talent, sing it Billy! Sure is easy on the eyes too! A timeless hit, as is the entire ‘Don’t Say No’ album!
Just love his stage presence……nothing flashy, just singing and dancing and having……FUN💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Always loved this one
I love Billy squier's so much I've seen him three times in concert and he rocks so hard

Once a rocker you're always a rocker this dude is definitely a big time rocker I know this is true just something about him
saw him in an 800 seater back in 91...killed it.amazing
Such a sweet , sweet song and one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. How I never got sick of it is a miracle. It was way overplayed on the radio.
My most favorite song ever! ❤😊
There’s something about his voice. This song just has something that hits something emotional in me. I don’t know what it is or why.
Hello Jennifer
How are you doing?
It's nice to have you here!
Billy Squire & Queen , probably best concert I ever experienced
