REO Speedwagon - That ain't Love, Video

[TheLloydbrawn]

The part at 2:18 represents rebirth.

[DieHardGameShowFan2]

This video, from what it sounds, starts off with a woman laying on a beach in 1987, dreaming of some kind of "reunion" that she may have attended with the vintage vehicles driving towards. That same woman in 1987 may have acted as a younger version in the "dream". The "dream" ends with one of the cars being hit by another car, the woman in the "dream" is shocked, and flash forward to 1987 the woman wakes up from her dream, and then the woman on the beach enjoys the music on her headset.

[SirRobbins]

My mother got me into this band and i haven't looked back since.

[HeyDufus]

That shit with the babe @ 2:43 creaming her panties and the boyfriend/husband eyefucking her cracks me up every time!

[SJones816]

The video is centered around an event that is a revival. I believe the spirit of the video is an internal one....symbolic of what a man must do when faced with such a tragic relationship...he must look inside and find revival, revival being...the process of finding the truth and eventually, just like a revival...moving on.

[SuperArrowslinger]

my favorite Reo song

[DieHardGameShowFan2]

@SuperArrowslinger Mine too. It's underrated, but to me it's their best one yet. The band would have only 2 more hits enter the top 40 - with "In My Dreams" later in 1987, and in the fall of 1988 with "Here With Me" - they haven't hit the top 40 since.

[TheKevinaustin]

I have no idea what is going on in this video, but love the song.

[grizzlyhawk2000]

M'kay, I love the song, but what's up with the old lady and the gong at 2:18? Not to mention the hand on the energy ball at 3:48. (There's no cheese like 80s cheese). :)

[GhostsInMyAttic]

You keep tellin' me

You know a place where

your life would be better

You're makin' plans long-range

But I don't know how you expect to get there

When you refuse to change - yeah

[Pilotpatty1]

I played this over and over when I was going through a family crisis. So perfect!

[alansmisclass]

Ah, the mid-80s. When you could still have a tent full of women and none of them were overweight.

[Jamy729]

Reo Speedwagon awesome band. 

[alharthy50]

Reo Speedwagon are the best :D

[Speedyabcd1]

Goog thanks you for the video

[udaymehta1963]

TIMELESS CLASSIC---A BEAUTY RENDITIONED BY THE GENIUS--REO SPPEDWAGON ROCKS!!!

[nonamesleftdammit]

9 people are just upset b/c they had the wrong emotion

[123PokemonFan]

good song, goin to see them and Pat Benatar this summer in concert.

[shinab0n]

REO loveyou! i love your songs, your voice...

im 20 years old... and if one day I get married your song " keep on loving you" will be my bals :D

yayayaaya :D

[steggieone]

"That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love to me."

Brilliant song.

[dannyminnie]

中華棒球轉場音樂~

[radioelargentino]

Estimated friend, if you want to listen again to this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - it looks for his direction URL for Google (scribe Musica para Mimos in Google)-. The best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is going to please you, is very good ...!!!

[85vicwagonguy]

Cronin looks like college-age Howard Stern in "Private Parts". That or the love child of a cruise ship pirate and John Oates.

Yes, it's a great song. Not commercial enough to be a "hit", unfortunately.

[deeperwaterz]

It was a hit with me and that`s all I care about nobody tells me what the fuck is a hit or not a hit I don`t bow down to what "THEY" say is and should be a hit.

[sh4rkbyt3]

This is the last good REO production! Without Gary Richrath they're a joke and a farce!

[deeperwaterz]

Kinda like your life huh? =]

[MrARMusic]

@sh4rkbyt3 you need to gently remove your tampon and realize something. They had no choice but to get rid of Gary. He was a trainwreck taking everybody down with him. in order to keep REO alive they had to get him to leave. They are all still great friends and gary occasionally makes an appearance. it was for the better of the band. even he knew that. Do a little research next time pal.. dave amato is definately more musically skilled anyway... just saying form a musical standpoint

[sh4rkbyt3]

@MrARMusic Maybe you should do a little research of your own. Let's see they've had how many hits since Gary was forced out of the band? Oh that's right ZERO! The proverbial tampon you're talking about would suit you perfectly if you'd remove that Maxi Pad you call a brain and look at the facts, they've not produced one viable song since. And last time I heard Kevin Cronin publicly he wasn't very nice in his comments concerning Richrath either. This is not REO Speedwagon!

[ExDemocrat64]

@sh4rkbyt3 GOOD ONE sh4rkbyt3!!!

[diosabbath]

I'm going thru this right now...Classic! I'm out..

[Astaroth72]

my reo speedwagon all time fav song....

remember...to love and be loved is everything...

everything less is not acceptable..

[lineba20]

Why wasn't this a bigger hit? This song kicks ass!!

[nonamesleftdammit]

I was in 10th grade when this came out and I remember listening to this song quite often. I think I only saw the video once but the one thing that I remembered about it after all of these years was that "Eye of the Storm" orb - those things were the shizz back then.

[centurian55428]

awsome melody! takes my breath away! many bands of the 80's rock! yeeeeeeeee!

[jwlsn54]

Another great REO song that I am especially fond of right now.

[625switch]

If you've had one of these kind of spouses then you've lived in hell.

And if you're living with one of these people, get out and discover how great life can be. Life is too short to be stuck with a person like the kind he's singing about.

If you are, then it's time to fly.

[GVike]

The bass guitar I recognize cause I saw one in a used instruments store a while back. A Gibson 20/20 designed by Ned Steinberger. Yep, the guy that made the famous XL-2 box and stick bass.

[eddie14700]

bringsw back some good times.

[thomasfamily42]

Is that Christina Applegate?

[greatfaith2010]

Fantistic Song 9 out of10!!

[TheSamanthaShow1002]

this is such a good song i have it on my ipod

[fucia11]

The reason REO is so good is because they write songs like these. I don't think I know anybody that cant relate to this song or any other speedwagon song!

[gergreg2883]

check that mustache!

[TheSamanthaShow1002]

@gergreg2883 EPIC STACHE! lol

[theoconor]

que buena pieza........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[cacaroto24]

i love this song!!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Ht#5 rock, #16 pop in Billboard. God bless!

[FrevrYng]

Great video...thanks for sharing!

[bolskobinski]

Tuve la oportunidad de ver a esta banda en concierto, hace muchos años en Colombia y fué increíble.

[ericjune18]

nice song,,,the gurl is so nice,,very beautiful!!!! i like the video,,,

[rovel68]

i super love this song..played it in windows media player with repeat on...

[migz124]

this..so good..i like  WTF..

[crazyyankyisback]

my best friend put all of his heart in to his dream girl i knew she didnt love him as he did her she left him he loved her so much he'd rather die with out her at a diner place in atlanta ga. in front of a large window he wrote in white shoe polish across it that aint love she was sitting there with another man he shot him self in the head i was at the red light across the street i jumped outta my car run to him he was gone,i called her many names in anger she could care less.I MISS MY FRIEND...

[tonidmc]

That remember me an exactly relationship that I suffered too much... a good advice: with a partner that dont feel the same as you an that dont respect you, don't loose your time. There are lots of better persons outhere that will love you truly.

[2009hydes]

You are so true there!!!

[deeperwaterz]

The shitty look the guy gives the girl at 2:43 is just classic :)

[2009hydes]

My boyfriend dumped me a few weeks ago and he said it was not about love so this song is perfect for me......that ain't love.

[centurian55428]

@2009hydes well! if you are a good woman. and he dumped you. just like that. then it was a blessing for you. you will find better.

[deeperwaterz]

how true these words are :)

You keep tellin' me

You know a place where your life would be better

You're makin' plans long-range

But I don't know how you expect to get there

When you refuse to change - yeah

[centurian55428]

@2009hydes wow! just like that? dam.what about us. our hearts. dam. that ain't love.sorry sweetie.

[SuperFlores14]

personas me preguntan why i listen to this music , can.t decirle porque cos i know them .but they comprender if i try to tell them

[centurian55428]

a message to all nice people. what ever goes on in your lifes. allways think positive.the lord will b with you.

[deeperwaterz]

I remember leaving my wife about 11 years ago, I put this on her stereo, turned it up and hit replay and left.

[centurian55428]

@deeperwaterz wow! and did you hear from her after?

[deeperwaterz]

Not right after we talk now after not talking for 11 years she came around wanting to be friends and she even said she wanted to get back together, I said No way...lol

So we remain cordial but, That`s the extent of it :)

[centurian55428]

@deeperwaterz you will forgive me for geting personal. but could you give me a little idea as to why she left in the first place? TY

[redkoalabare]

@deeperwaterz thats fuckin mean

[deeperwaterz]

What`s mean the fact that she stayed away for 3 days smoking crack and neglecting her 5 yo son showed up at her Mom`s and hid for another 23 days without ever calling us?

I think I made the correct decision :)

[deeperwaterz]

I meant to say 2 days more without calling us

[redkoalabare]

@deeperwaterz yea ok i'm sorry man i didn't know it was that violent. hopefully you took your son from her.

[papaloopay]

@deeperwaterz lol you must be a natural born bad-ass...thats awesome...truly...wish i woulda thought of that!

[deeperwaterz]

I`m no bad ass I just got sick of her attitude, misconceptions, ignorance and lack of disrespect for me.

Cheers things are sooo much better for me these days =]

[Bigtime1998]

@deeperwaterz  fucking awesome!!!!!

[diosabbath]

@deeperwaterz I'm about to do that...

[deeperwaterz]

If she doesn`t respect you and it`s falling apart do it, I did try to fix things many time before I split so keep that in mind. =]

[TomboyKris]

@deeperwaterz Wished I'd have thought of that !! LOL I just threw his sh*t out & changed the lockes!! LOL

[TheSolKris]

@deeperwaterz Awesome..... Just.... Awesome.....

[centurian55428]

a lot of 80's music , made it to the top! sweet.

[BookLoverforLife]

My fave REO song!

[ryanoasis1]

CLASSIC!!! Just f'n Classic.

[cockshe]

All I can think about is how I let my X down when I hear this song.I am scum for the things that I did to her,but I want to say I am sorry.I know that14 years is a long time, but I say that it is better late then never.I love you Leanne,and I want a chance to tell this to you in person.Please give me this chance,remember how we were,befeore my failure to live up to my commitments.You deserve better,I don't deserve you,but I know that you are a caring person,who can look beyond my mistakes. loveU

[centurian55428]

now! that is some one that deserves respect. many of us have made mistakes like that. unfortunatelly, once we open our eyes. its to late. but never too late to say I'm sorry. if your mate has a good heart. will give you credit , and might forgive you. my best wishes to all people, who lived this. god bless you all.

[cockshe]

@centurian55428 Thanks for your support,things are not going so well on the Facebook file, so I'm getting ready to throw the towel in, but your words are taken with great thanks.

[Funnyperson251]

I say very good it's in my top 3 list of the best reo songs.

[centurian55428]

of all music. this one reflects a lot about reo. nice.

[Astaroth72]

my REO's fav for sure. masterpiece

[eriksken1]

dit is één van mijn lievelingsnummers, en dat nog op mijn leeftijd van 47 jaar, en ben al fan van 1978.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #16 in Billboard.

[SebastianSierpe]

Hey Ricardo1968...i´m turning the fucking volume up of the loudspeakers to the MAX (100)! ...many THANX for sharing this fuckin´ great song!

Greetings from Santiago, CHILE!

Seb

[knowthywolf101]

4:20 - end: what?

[ndzordz]

The best thing I have ever heard in my life!!! Just listen it from begining till end!!! Pay atention to the solos..

[Donniesquid4]

the singer looks like Howard Stern in Private Parts during his early radio years.

[blueseater94]

A song with a great message, and some of the sexiest women in a video, ever.

[latenighter1965]

if more people listened to the words maybe there wouldnt be so many ex's , just my opinion.

[invisiblebunny219]

@latenighter1965

you hit the nail on the head with that comment..never were truer words typed

[tonidmc]

@latenighter1965 True True True!

[whitesox130]

Wow, Kevin Cronin with a mustache? Looks like Uncle Rico...

[Doug4422]

@whitesox130 I think that's one of the reasons he got rid of it, it didn't quite fit with the face.

[bigblock31]

OH HAHA That mustache makes his look like John Oates from Hall and Oates !!!

[thepaddywagonishere]

The 80's were the good old days! I sure miss the music from back then!

[BOBPOPROCK]

that gal looks a lot like madonna godddd

[moonflower0924]

yes she does. lol

[IrishN00B]

That girl looks like a lucky mix between Madonna and Sarah Alexander.

[bebe18101]

Thnks !!!!!

[bebe18101]

Tengo uan duda la que sale es Madonna ?

[invisiblebunny219]

this song goes out to my ex he would have only listen he would not have been my ex

[NaturVita]

Great song!

[leecalvin]

For all the guitarists out there...check out Kevin's rare Ovation Thunderbolt in this video. They were only made in 1987. KC used a black one as seen here, and a white one until around 1990 then went back to the 'autumn leaf design' annivesary and deluxe models before moving onto the Ovation Viper which he still uses today. Cheers for posting this vid!!

[timreeder]

When I lived in Phoenix I got to see REO Speedwagon, Styx and Journey all on the same stage at the same time. It rocked.

[magoz01paraguay]

Musically an excellent pop rock song visually the video could have been better but in the 80´s the video didn´t need to match the song. Anway one of those underrated bands with bunch of hits.

[Laynes100]

i love this sonngg!!! nd im only 11!! lolzzz

[17november95]

lol i love this song im only 13

[centurian55428]

you have good taste in music. keep it up

[phikap89]

Growing up in illinois in the 80's these guys ruled. Not sure why this was always my favorite REO song other than the sound is great but ya just gotta love the electrical dome in the video!!! Quality 80's cheese!!! Go Huskies!!

[NaturVita]

LOL!! no one did cheesee better than the 80s, this is what I call great cheese. :)

[janwoodworth]

some the men are in this way too.

[LazySage90]

I have a relationship like this song awhile ago, I'm really glad I got out of it

[fragglepossem]

any man has a doubt bout his woman, needs to hear this song.., gives a heads up............its only fair., k

[mkl62]

I saw the Life As We Know It tour in May 1987 at The Scope in Norfolk, Virginia. They opened the concert with this. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts opened. They had just been in Norfolk in January at The Boathouse.

[centurian55428]

this particular song. has a ring 2 it. a refreshing ring. very nice melody. 2 all you tube fans. far out.

[blountcoguy]

Ive saw these guys 8 times now i believe...good rock n roll

[MarissaIsForLovers]

HAvent stopped to listen to these guys in a few months

sr. 11 rules

[Griffen427]

NICE 'STACHE KEVIN...

[thepaddywagonishere]

I remember seeing this song on MTV back in 87

[435643563456]

Gary, the true REO fans still miss you!

[bulkandroll]

they just don't make music like this anymore. remember the times!!!

[dominoems07]

wow i havent heard this song in forever.... great song..

[virokill132]

intro sucked cock

[kimberly2177]

great

[acdcmaniac777]

I think he looks a bit like willy deville with that mustache

[Kenoman29]

It would appear that Kevin & Gary are playng Jackson guitars. Very rare for them.

[DarknessBurnsBlood]

the lead singer looks like wierd al :L

but on a serious note

i was brought up on this band

they are absolutely amazing!!!

[palellama2001]

Someone know who is the girl that appear in the video? Is very beatifull.

[mastiffslave]

Long ago love......great times, great memories. So glad I grew up in the 80's with all the great music!

[nickfrompinebeach]

Great song and video,

Thanks for posting

REO gonna perform in New Jersey in April, I hope they will do this one, I've got a ticket....

[coachdons2008]

I am old enough to remember that Kevin Cronin is not the original lead singer...but it is great to see the younger generation appreciates great rock. I saw REO on the Live Infidelity tour all those years ago...I miss Gary Richrath

[80sMrBean]

OMG! Im one of them! I started to like them and fell in love with their songs when i was 16, and now im 18, it doesn't change! Tho i've heard a lot of new songs now, it still can not compare with such music like this!! They're nothing but a dust!

I wish i'd spend my teenage years in their time, to watch them also Live(that will be cool!!) but i know its only IN MY DREAMS.. sigh..

[Kenoman29]

The original singer was Terry Luttrell, for one album, followed by Cronin who sang on REO T.W.O., then it was Mike Murphy who was horrible. Cronin was on the first "Riding The Storm Out" LP....and then re-released with Mike Murphys' vocals and picture on the cover of that same LP. Murph did a few more LPs with them, and then back to Cronin. The LPs with Mike Murphy were horrible, although one or two songs were decent.

[dalee882008]

this song is so true!

[Xtrememan512]

lol kevin looks a bit like Brad Delps of "Boston"! :D Awesome song though! :D

[IrishN00B]

Awesome! Love this band for real!

[beavercreekhigh]

Is that Madonna

[Doug4422]

No.

[bamafan888]

whats up with that lady at 2:20

[Doug4422]

If you have ever watched any of REO's videos from the 80's, they tend to have some funny moments, that was one of them.

[nickfrompinebeach]

Great song, awesome lirics, but Kevin's mustache is horr....

[gufterica]

their best song for sure!!!just perfect!!!listen....

[familyguylover171]

aw man. ilove that song. i really do.

[dkempf1]

Nope. That's Bob Jones!

[izzydye]

is that jim jones?

[Raccalbuti]

canzone stupenda, come tutte quelle di questo gruppo

[joeardinger1111]

damn, look at Kevin Cronin's mustache.

[zombiecommando]

awesome

[LadyAwa19]

Reo Speedwagon, great band and I love their music even though I'm a Metalhead.

[80sGirlfan]

I do love this song!! 5*!

[centurian55428]

why they do not make beautifull music. these days?

[woodchuckgra]

AMEN Brotha'

[tapatia0131]

EXCELENTE CANCION !!! GREAT !!

[shaynee1]

What kinda glue is that in those 80s hair sculpts?

[centurian55428]

this song stoll my heart. nice melody

[rafaravioli]

Lol. Random old lady hitting a gong. 2:20

Good song, though

[TomMan963]

This is a great song!

[silentfox13]

i had this album in 1990,that remind me a lot of things this song:)

[tapatia0131]

PADRISIMA CANCION, TIENEN MUY BUENAS CANCIONES PERO ESTA SE ME HACE MUY PADRE ME TRAE RECUERDOS DE LOS 80´S Great Video!!

[jcapone3rd]

Awesome song! REO always made great cheesy videos

[davidgcalderon]

Good Song and a great band

[Nexus974]

Love the words....

[gracelovely2]

One of REO's best songs!

[centurian55428]

I will agree with you.you have good taste in music

[arwincortez13]

i like this video., bco'z of the sentimental value.,!

[ClassicRoyal]

I love the (in my opinion) meaning of this video. Sort of like REO are the preachers of what love is and the people (especially the girls) come for the tent revival to hear the "gospel." They get filled with the spirit as they realize what love is and what it isn't. The rain "washes away" the old and they begin their lives "anew" knowing that they are no longer bound by the chains of what the men have dictated to them as love. Great video! Love REO!
