Most underrated Canadian Band in History ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed 👍. I was oblivious to April Wine as I stationed overseas in the early 80's . At current this may be my favorite song of all . That and Triumph with Lay it on the line . I'm old and still rocking ! Well done "Oh Canada" 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 With love from Minnesota!
April wine, Triumph,Harlequin , Streetheart, BTO, The Guess Who, Saga, The Stampeders,so so many awesome Canadian bands. I love that i was blessed to see so many play!!! 🤟🤟🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You forgot lover boy , tragically hip
I never saw Saga or Streetheart live off your list but want to add Chilliwack!!😂
Let’s not forget Chilliwack!
Yes , I forgot Chilliwack, , Loverboy, The Band,The Kings , Doug and the Slugs, Lighthouse. So many fantastic bands that I had the blessing to see. This is why most of my music listening is Canadian
and PRISM !!!
RIP Myles. Your music will live on. Thank you for all the great music.
They were a Canadian secret with no reason to be. They should have been huge all over the world.
Dude they headlined arenas in the States from '79 to '84. Any band that can draw 9000 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and have the show simulcast on Cedar Rapids top FM radio station is not a secret entity - especially after being the first Canadian band to debut and be put into rotation on MTV.
On the first day of MTV, April Wine is one of only three groups (AW, The Who, Phil Collins) to have five airplays of one song (Just Between You and Me). For total airplays the day was owned by Rod Stewart and REO Speedwagon. April Wine also had Sign of The Gypsy Queen played twice. So for total airplays we have: Rod Stewart 16, REO Speedwagon 15, The Pretenders 11, The Who 9, April Wine 7, Split Enz 7. Still a good showing by AW.
Here they are in England on BBC's Rock Goes to College (from Reading University). on RUclips as "April Wine - Oowatanite - 1980 Live @ Reading University, UK"
@@misterslats Just Between You and Me was the 14th song played on MTV.
@@jethro1963 Yeah. But it was the FIRST Canadian act ever to be played on MTV.
This was an absolutely amazing band for those of us who truly loved talent, they were very underrated. Both Myles and Brian had amazing voices and often changed the lead vocals on all of their songs. the first song was from First Glance 1978 and the second song was from Harder n' Faster 1979 both killer albums from many others. Thanks, Casey so glad you enjoyed April Wine
You gotta check out Silver Dollar. And the live version of Coming Down Over Me/ Rock and Roll is a Dangerous Game
Absolutely!! I started listening in 1978, and still love it today! Great music is great music, no matter the year!
April Wine was one of my very favourite bands in the 70s. The best of classic rock and they didn’t have one song not to love. RIP Myles and thank you for giving us the best musical memories. ❤️
They had an awesome 3 guitar attack that could melt your face!
One of the most overlooked and underrated bands from that period of time, and still one of the best there ever was.
Since I heard them for the 1st time back in '77 (I think it was) they've been among my top 5 bands ever, and they will stay there until the day I die.
April Wine FOREVER 🤘🤘🤘
I saw them with MotorHead and another great band in 82 Oakland.
Early 80's. Harder faster is my favorite album
Harder ... Faster, was a great album. "Better Do It Well" , "Say Hello" " I Like to Rock".
"I like to Rock" and "Just Between You and me" are some more songs that I loved by them
rock and roll is a vicious game man this band could do it all pop, rock , ballets best band canada ever put out
Now you definitely have to do I like to ROCK and Sign of the Gypsy Queen.
You'll have many Canadians here for this one. For a very great early song, Fast Train. "I met a man from New York City"
He spoke of things I’ve yet to find.
Ah this brings back memories, i love April Wine. We have some amazing talent here in Canada.
April Wine is a extraordinary Rock Band 🎸.
Good Reaction.
April Wine “I Like to Rock” was THE jam to blast out the Camaro t-tops cruising the boulevard on Saturday nights.
We all especially loved their triple guitar outro. Legend.
Trivia note: the video for “I Like to Rock” was recorded in the same Canadian studio where Rush recorded “Limelight.” Check both videos and you’ll see it’s the same exact room
Roller in 1978, Before the Dawn, 79. So many great songs by these guys. Well worth your time searching them out. Myles Goodwyn, the songer on Roller has retired from touring, but the band still tours and he will be involved in studio. He plays on occasion close to Halifax and has a couple of good solo blues cds out.
Thank you so much.
April Wine is my favorite band of all time. Brian Greenway does have great backup vocals, but his lead vocals on "Before the Dawn" is my favorite song. AND all three guitarists are amazing.
Thanks again!!
The second song was recorded at Le Studio in Quebec. Same studio Rush recorded some songs. It’s gone now. AW has so many hits here in Canada. Please explore. Myles the lead singer on Roller just retired and named his replacement for the band, Marc. Apparently very good.
The 70s were beyond great for Canadian rock contributions, and April Wine was at the top of that list. Mahogany Rush is also at the top. Frank Marino's guitar work is something to behold. Add to that his great vocals.
Love them, we’re always great live! Weeping widow is my favourite… but they have large catalogue to choose from
Goodwin just said he’s hanging up his guitar and retiring.What a ride!
Hey Cheezy, April Wine from my home town of Halifax, NS Canada. Seen them so many times at The Misty Moon and Crazyhorse Caberets and many, many, many Natal Day and Canada Day celebrations!!!
Awesome!
Oh My God! Thank you so much for this. I saw April Wine twice back in the day and they sounded just this great live! Great shows. I even met the drummer Jerry Mercer at the Hyatt in the lobby in Houston and the guy was so cool that we actually just sat there and talked for about a half hour. I'll never forget that and Before The Dawn was my favorite song, brought back a lot of memories, gave me chills. Nature of the Beast was the album and the tour. AWESOME, THANK YOU ❤
100% kick ass band
Early April Wine songs like 'Fast Train', 'Drop Your Guns' and 'Weeping Widow' are also awesome. Originally from Halifax, NS, they are the most underrated Canadian band ever.
First concert I ever attended. 1982 April Wine with Eddie Money. Huge fan ever since!
Great band, saw them I think in 78 when they opened for Rush , thanks
Maple Leaf Gardens, perhaps. We were sitting beside the sound board. They were a hard act for Rush (their early days) to follow that night.
We left half-way through Rush, completely satisfied.
You hear all these familiar songs with great lyrics, hooky riffs, and then you find out. "I didn't know April Wine did that one. That one to, and that? That's April Wine! Holy C, I had no idea they had so many songs that were on the radio in the back-ground, for years."
One of my all time favorite bands!
Excellent song! Roller!
“Roller” was from my favourite April Wine album, “First Glance”. They were my first rock concert at age 10.
Love April Wine! They’re from my neck of the woods - we were fortunate enough to provide production for them and man they’re still killers. Great reaction!
That's awesome! What an experience
Tell me about the production work. Big fan of the band and Myles Goodwyn himself.
Two different lead vocalists on those songs. “Roller” was 1978, and “Before The Dawn” was 1979.
Love it! They made some great hard rock albums between 1975 and 1981 - from ‘Stand Back’ to ‘the Nature of the Beast’! Myles Goodwin was the lead singer (guy from ‘Roller’), and Brian Greenway sang lead in a few songs here and there and always did a great job. Greenway had the high vocals that were so excellent for backing harmonies.
Brings me back to my teenaged years! Thankyou for the memories💪🎸
Great Reaction to a great Canadian band! ❤😎
Love them when they cover King Crimsons 21st Century Schizoid Man with that 3 guitar attack. You'll love it too!
Their overall track record speaks for itself...👍
Great double shot of April Wine... First song Roller was Myles Goodwin singing, this song is Brian Greenway
LOVED April Wine!! Listened to them all through high school in the early 80s. Most under rated band ever!
Listen to Say Hello!
I saw them for the first time in 1979 At RiverFront Coliseum, I was 15. We used to go to so many concerts. I forgot who they were with. I have seen them 3 other times, The last time was a place called JAXX in Springfield, VA. They have LAWYS been one of my favorites. And that CLASSIC 70's ending will never go out of style
About time Cheezy, my favorite 3 guitar band. Canadas April Wine. Just one look at the cover of the Nature of the beast album and I was in
Future Tense my pick for fave song .🧀👏🤘👍
I've always loved April Wine
From my early youth, April Wine has come back to me. It is with much regret that the beautiful young girls that I experienced won't come with them. Please listen to a brilliant song from April Wine titled "If You See Kay" and then simply spell that song. (F. U. C. K.) I only think that we older farts knew about this. Also, please enjoy "Just Between You And Me" from April Wine as this was once my girlfriend Brigid and my beloved "LOVE" song. Wonderful memories. Thank You.
These guys were my first legit rock concert back in 1982 I think. At the Seattle center Mercer arena. I was a fan. Had every album with the logo and knew them front to back. I was in heaven. An added bonus was the openers were Uriah Heep with Bob Daisley on bass and Lee Kerslake on drums. The band they were in right before this tour was a little project called the Blizzard Of Oz. Leather pants and pot smoke ruled the day.
Good ole Canadian Rock n Roll. "I Like to Rock" is another great one.
April had hard rock anthems and very beautiful ballads .
Like two completely different bands .
April Wine had several lineup changes during their existence, but this was their longest lasting lineup, from 1977 to 1985. Myles Goodwyn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Brian Greenway (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Gary Moffett (guitar, vocals), Steve Lang (bass, vocals), and Jerry Mercer (Drums). Goodwyn was the only original member remaining by this point.
They were huge in Canada, but only managed three Top 40 hits in the US: Could Have Been a Lady, Roller, and Just Between You and Me.
They did have some great jams . Smoked many of doobs listening to them in my high school back parking lot early 80s ..lol
Lots of tunes to choose from with 16 studio albums, multiple greatest hits and live recordings as well as 4 solo albums by Myles Goodwyn. The line up you see here was April Wine from '77-85. Jimmy Clench, (not here) Steve Lang and now Myles Goodwyn 1948-2023, RIP.
So Canadian.... between them and The Guess Who (and others) they wrote some of those hooks as a national signature. It has to be in the water or the snow but they defined the tone and riffage.
Classic rock at its finest. Loved these guys
Love April Wine
Ya gotta love the “triple axe attack” of April Wine!
They were awesome now. Colin James Voodoo thing is a must.
Sink your teeth into April Wine-Future Tense
You’ll get a rise out of that one.
What a great song.
April Wine was 1 of the groups i ripped all their cds to mp3 and burned to cd for my travels between Pennsylvania and Quebec. If i was still making the trip The Warning would be right up there too.
So many great bands came out of the 70s! It was a great time for music imo.
Before the Dawn. 1979 Harder Faster album. I got it on vinyl. Killer tune.
One of my favorite bands growing up 😎👍
I grew up with April Wine from my teen days. Miles Goodwin and Jerry Mercer the drummer would be super stars today. I wonder what kind of music they would be playing.
One of my favorite deep cuts is Silver Dollar.
They have about 40 great hit songs that could easily fill a 4 CD greatest hits compilation! And then some... oh, try this song by them, bizzar but genius song ... "Weeping Widow"
I was too young to go to the show but I did see them a few years later on nature of the Beast tour.
I will never forget how her mother made all this food and it was a huge feast the band really loved it
Before the Dawn is just first class rock.
Not gonna lie, these guys have a good 20+ songs that are reaction worthy. Personally I like their older stuff like The Band Has Just Begun, Cats Claw and Fast Train. But yea they had great power ballads and some real kickass rock and roll.
Just for clarity, I consider a "hit" to be a song that received a large amount of airplay and that would be generally recognizable moreso than how many units it sold. A couple of years ago I looked on Wikipedia and they had listed about 30 songs of note by AW. I would consider by my definition above, 22 of them to be "hits" That doesn't include songs that I might have heard but didn't know the title. That's a lot of "hits"
@@jethro1963 generally I’m not a hit or top 40 guy. Give me the hidden gems
@@waynethera2712 I remember one thing from being a kid, whenever someone was learning guitar the songs I remember them doing were Smoke on the Water and AW's Weeping Widow and for singing, House of the Rising Sun.
Aside from Roller, a lot of the AW songs I see recommended for reactors, I don't think are good first time listening songs. As you mentioned power ballads, few groups did them better than AW. I would like to see Just Between You and Me reacted to and as I mentioned below (for posterity sake) it was the 14th song played on MTV when it started.
Like Sultans of Swing, I have never tired of Oowatanite. As a Maritimer we go way back to the beginning with AW, they were my first show. I was a little surprised to see at Wikipedia that "This Could Be the Right One" and "Rock Myself to Sleep" didn't chart in Canada, wonder if that is a mistake.
So many wonderful memories. They aged at alot of places here at home in Toronto.
So many great party nights. They were amazing live.
The best was the smaller bars , is and them. Shout out to the bar by Oshawa GM plant!
Cheers
I saw April Wine many times in the 70’s love them ❤
Great band. Check out I Like to Rock, Sign of the Gypsy Queen, If you see Kay, Silver Dollar, Enough is Enough, That's Love... which is metal!
A great band from Atlantic Canada and front three lead guitarists. wow. Should be in the RHF.
So much talent in that band my fav song is oowatanite Happy New Year 🙂
Just before they got famous they lived across my house in lennoxville qc .. they practice outsite on a big veranda.
You can't just pass over I Like To Rock, or Sign of a Gypsy Queen .....check them out Casey!
Great band! My 2nd favorite Canadian band. BTO will always be my #1.
I saw these dudes open for Molly Hatchet in early 1981. They kicked Molly's ass that night! The drummer just slayed us! We learned his name that night! Jerry Mercer.
Another band with 3 lead guitars: Molly Hatchet! I saw them 3x.
Great reaction. "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" and "Say Hello" would be good ones to check out, too.
Great choices for an introduction to the band. Check out 2 - ballads next time; 1) Like a Lover Like a Song & 2) Coming Right Down on Top of Me......or 3) Wings of Love
Before the dawn live from the former Le Studio in Morin-Heights half an hour north of Montréal. Merci from Montréal.
I am back and watching this video again I Thank the Creator that I got to live when bands like April Wine were kicking ass. So much deadly music from the Scorps to April Wine to Nazerth to Rush to Deep Purple It went on and on and on I hope Heaven is just one big jam 🙂
You don’t find this Sh*t today, unbelievable talent.
Myles Goodwyn, the principal songwriter and vocalist of April Wine died a few days ago at 75. The band carrys on now but with no original members.
Hopefully you've got the answers by now, ( 12:22 ) but that last song Before The Dawn was released in 1979 on the album "Harder... Faster". Great high school memories for me. Thanks for the fun reaction to these Canadian classics.
Thank you so much for reminding me about this great canadian rock band. Check out oowatanite ( pronounced ooh what a night) by April Wine
Iconic for me, I was in 7th grade when I bought First Glance, then Harder Faster came right after that, People just crap their pants when they hear April Wine for the first time. That’s why I like watching others get turned on with bands like these gif the first time.
hell''''''''''' that brings back memories''''''''''
a great band .i just seen their last concert ever in halifax a few months ago. they will be missed
Remember crossing the border to head to Sherkston Beach or the cottage and April Wine would be one of the bands blasting from the shorre
I saw them about 3 or 4 times in the early 80's and they were always fantastic. When I first heard The Warning about 2 years ago, this is the first band I thought of, the song structure, Dany singing and also playing lead, and the vocal harmonies too. Someone will murder me in the comments I'm sure, but that is what I hear. Glad to see you do some April Wine.
Canada rocks !!!
That's called "swagger"😉
Very briefly, My First Girlfriend was Jerry Mercer's niece and he's the drummer in the band.
Incredibly my brother was actually dating older sister at the time.
We went over there and there was a huge party and meal
The first concert I went to was April wine 1973
I wore out 2 cassette tapes or more of this album back in the day while driving around in my 1974 Le Mans.
Why these guys weren’t bigger is beyond me.
April Wine was my 3rd concert and they rocked! Still in my top 20 bands of all time.
April wine's I like to rock check that one out !
Canadian GUITAR GODS
Thanks
This is a different singer, than Roller, they sound kinda similar, again, they’re so diverse, they re incredible.
April Wine reaction took me back to the good ole days. Would like to have your opinion on Blackfoot. Anything off Marauder lp. Or Train Train, Highway song. ✌️🤞🧀
Oh heck yeah Blackfoot is freaking amazing. Train train and Fox Chase are killer songs
@@salsaucedo Yes sir bud. When I read that the members of Blackfoot were, and I quote what I read 3 native Americans and a Jewish guy that blew me away
Instantly looked them up in Rock magazines. That Ricky Medlock was brutal. The drummer with the native pigtails and bassist with the native gear on!!.🤘🤘👍✌️
