my stepdad used to play this song over and over again while trying to sing along. he had a terrible singing voice and even drove the same car, a 1983 pontiac sunbird, midnight blue. it was a graduation present which he drove until he fucked up the transmission in 92. it now rests peacefully in the junkyard behind mr balkema's house.
Second concert I ever attended.....Aldo Nova opening for Cheap Trick at Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. He had some band named Axe or Axxe opening for him--never heard anything more from them. Tickets were only $18 for general admission.....man, those were the days!
@Gabby9292K1 I saw Aldo Nova twice in Vancouver back in 1982. The first time he opened for Street Heart in April 1982 and the second time he opened for Blue Oyster Cult in Aug. 1982 at the Pacific Coliseum. Both great concerts.
@Gabby9292K1 That would have been a great concert. I saw Triumph in Feb. 1983 Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver approx. 10,000 people there I would guess. The first time I saw B.O.C. was in Aug. 1981 at Empire Stadium in Vancouver. There was 5 bands in all. Ted Nugent, Heart, Loverboy B.O.C. & if I remember correctly Cheap Trick.
@BananaJSSI has Aldo Nova ever been the main act???? and do they have more hits than just this one. fantasy is a great song. but its the only aldo song that got any airplay!!!! tell me if Im wrong, but billy squier probably made ten times more money than aldo did.
@thevealchop68 I don't know if he was ever a main act, but he definitely had more than one hit that got lots of air play. Ball & Chain, Can't Stop Loving You, Victim of a Broken Heart & Hold Back the Night were all Hit songs by him. I saw Billy Squier in concert as well and he opened for Queen.
I see why you called me a burn out, that comment is the stupidest I ever made but what I am referring to here is the little part where he whispers "its just a fantasy". I love this song and I thumbs uped it. My other channel where my name is "uilium"is where I put all my good videos but I still need to weed out some embarrassing parts...
Hey Trolly McTrollerson, ha ha ha. You totally got gypped. Les Pauls don't shoot lasers. Any idiot knows that. Get yourself a Paul Reed Smith--the green one with mother-of-pearl inlays. That guitar rocks, and it blows stuff up, too.
Gees takes me back to highschool in t he 80's good times..class of 86 here or i shall say jr. they dont make music like they used to/ hate this rap crap generation..they all act black when there white.. thats pathethic. wonder why im still stuck in the past..50's through the 80's is the best...keep on rocking in the past i know i will
class of 86 here too..how's it goin there bud..listening to the eighties, music..awesome....but when i saw this guys outfit,, i laughed my fukin head off..glad i never wore anyhing like that
@jason75 HEY BROTHER,,THE CLASS OF 1986 HERE TOO!! SIMPLY PUT,,WHEN YOU WERE AT HOME ,,OR CRUISING IN THE RIDE,,YOU CRANKED THIS SHIT UP TO 11!!! SIMPLY PUT!!! THE CLASS OF 1986 IS STILL IN SESSION!!!! TOLEDO,,OHIO FREAKING ROCKED THE 1980'S!!!!!! LONG LIVE THE 1980'S,,THE LAST GENERATION OF ASS-KICKING,,ROCK ,,AND THE ORIGINAL M-TV!!!
@jason75 Took the thoughts right out on my head. New music takes no talent it sucks and half the time they repeat the same stuff over and over again. Like hey ba ba hey ba ba. But Music like this makes you feel something. The way it should be thumbs up to all you people born in the 90's but missed your stop through the 70's and 80's! I am only 20 but I'm not stupid this is where it was at!
@jason75 Man i Have be saying the something for years Glad to see there are still people out there that know what good music is 50"s through 80"s was and is the best music we had this stuff today stanks white people acting like there black and what you think about MTV & VH1 Thoses channals turned into garbage bring them back to the way they used to be good music videos do you Agree ? give me your comment love to read it. Thanks

Can you imagine THIS song being played in TODAY'S night spots and/or dance clubs? In my opinion, YES, THIS songs ROCKS, but kinda' has a "dance" feel to it. Club owners/managers-TAKE NOTE!
