my wife and i saw nick yestrday, they performed at Rocky point park for canada day weekend celebrations. so retro... good memories.. this is my fave by him. seeing "Prism" perform tomorrow !!
this guy has a smooth xxx voice,with it i wud probably get a beating within an inch of my life,but always walk away with the sexiest girls at the parties
This was released as a single even before Hot Child hit #1. And it still couldn't break top 40 (#44?). Not to be confused with the Them and Beach Boys tunes of the same title.
@motley14u my favorite song is hot child in the city hahah and they have nothing to do with it i discoverdi it on my own! theyre so good i want the cd that has roxy roller this song and hot child
I had forgotten about this song. So great. Unlike alot of todays POP , you can actually understand the words and it actually makes sense, Not to mention this is a great makeout song,
wow he's on FB!! NIck Gilder & Sweeny Todd was one of the first rock stars I came to know as a kid growing up in the 70s. Unforgetable stuff, awsome post!! Check out "Hot Child In The City" too y'all!!!
yeah, he's on my facebook. you know he really is an outstanding person. he's got like next to zero ego, and loves his fans, plus you get first news on appearances.
thats so cool! I won this album at the fair one year and Hot Child came out like 3 months later. Though I prefer this album. You cant screw with Got To Get Out. Someday Im gonna find a chick named Rebecca Robinson and marry for her name alone ;)
@johnnybaby1979 its LIKE a store where you can buy sell trade? or it IS a store where you can buy sell trade???? "" LIKE "" dont be a idiot your whole life.
i finally downloaded this song and slapped it on my i-pod!......for some reason i love this song.....my sister said i was still in pampers when this song came out, and i was born in 1979
this came out in 1978...This whole album is great-saw him many times live in Los Angeles when this was released.Great powerpop/rock-I think it's his best ...PS someone please post more off City Nights! thanx!
@beatlefan64 Nick Gilder is making a lot of head waves lately. His #1 hit "Hot Child In The City" is featured in a new commercial for LA Ink. And now everyone is searching for it on YouTube. Maybe it will be a big hit all over again in 2010!
You never know, it could possibly be a hit all over again. I was searching around Nick's official site a couple of nights ago and was surprised to discover how many TV shows and movies have used "Hot Child."
I was 14 in 1979 and this casette and the kings were a huge influence on me. But there was something about Nicks voice and songs...man! And yes they were new at that time. AWESOME!
this was the 1 st single for Nick Gilder but it didnt do as well as Hot Child In The City tho I prefer this song personally. Also check out the B-side, Got To Get Out on this same album and a tun called Roxy Roller recently featured in the opening credits of The Runaways movie. I think I won this album at the fair throwing darts. Glad I missed and didnt get the blue stuffed bear now.
This is such a cool song. Thanks for pointing out the T rex sound, you're right and I love it. I had this on a Ktel album, very good one, also had Baker Street on it. Nick Gilder is very underrated. His first three albums, one with Sweeney Todd, are excellent. Frequency is alright.
I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I absolutely Loved this single. I bought it at the record store. Several stations in Alabama picked up on it immediately after Hot Child. Can't believe it didn't do better on the charts because it was an excellent rock tune. Whatever happened to Nick?
This song is an underrated 70's classic....very T-Rexish......I remember hearing this in Vancouver when I was 11........still sounds good 30 years later.
Yeah i know,where i'm from ppl thought it was a chick singing this,not only that ppl still are convinced that it is a chick to this day lol,if they only knew there artists huh,bi the way thx for the comment,be safe and a good life! :)
Great song!!! Bryan Adams replaced Nick Gilder in Sweeney Todd after he went solo to do the "You know who you are" album, (which is an excellent record)on which he re-recorded Roxy Roller. Those first three Nick Gilder records and the Sweeney Todd album with Nick Gilder are first rate.
bryan adams was in sweeny todd and also was the singer and after he left is when nick gilder joined 'sweeny todd" which they release the song "roxy roller"
have heard this today(Fri 11 apr.08)for the first time since 1978!.Flashed me right back to what i was doing at that exact time when i heard this song back then.Amazing how music can do that.
This guy never aged still looks the same as he did back in the day he must have the secret a youth
