[DARRINCONNOR1]

Hey same studio as there canadien friends.Wheres the German Sheppard???

[fastcats3]

First concert my now husband took me to when we were only 16.....1981!!! Still rockin'.

[insyncnet1]

I'm a 47 year old midwestern American. Well...April Wine Canadian or not i don't really care & never even knew back in the day. Me and my bro most often rocked to the non-mainstream Rock, far apart from the lamo rock at the time(bruce springstein & all that crap) April Wine, I thought, really rocked & the pivital rock song for me of all time is "I Like to Rock" and is by far one of my most memorable & favorite songs of ALL TIME. Bar None!!!

[blainesteronie]

man they got some wicked solo's

[cwcritch]

1of the most underrated rock bands!

[yorbooalways]

I like to ROCK !!!!

[951Alpha]

April Wine, Triumph, Rush and of course Saga...........Canada has the best bands.

[ralphyization]

We have, and have had, awesome Canadian bands, eh? I like to rock! I forgot how good some of these guys were! OMG!

[milkboner666]

@ppppccs Oct 1979 was the date this album came out.Wish more people would listen to other great Canadian's band that love to rock like April Wine.

[yetasdad]

Hey Buzz - sorry to be the one to tell you, but Rush was out before April Wine! Don't get me wrong, I think April Wine is GREAT, even seen them in concert in the late 70's. They do like to rock!!!

[buzzbomb67]

ya, everyone talks bout Rush or Triumph as the best Canadian rock band, but April Wine did it first and imho did it better. ALL of it. They ran the gamut from ballads to blues n jazz to hard rock, progressive rock n metal and they did it all so well! I still dunno where I got this video n frankly dont even remember posting it but Im glad April Wine has let me keep it up (so far). And Im glad its so popular, its really an awesome song :D

[vikingsFan2100]

they were fuckin cool. cant believe i never got into em

[buzzbomb67]

It was on the 1979 album "Harder...Faster"

[superdavetamsborn]

@buzzbomb67 one of the best albums ever made!!!!. i like to rock is the shit period.

[animator4life99]

This song Fuggin rocks!

[cn854]

Miles could certainly make that Strat growl couldn't he?

[cn854]

One of the greatest moments in Canadian Rock' n ' Roll history

[mjerlo]

Go to CBC Cover Me Canada's Youtube Channel (CBCCoverMEe) to see live performance of "Could Have Been a Lady" by "Livingin Red". AMAZING!!!

[nctaurussho1]

This version better then the official one

[Sundevil61]

Any reunion tours for these guys?

[capebee]

What a great studio.

[thehumanbeanAZ]

Just as outstanding today as when seeing them on the road back in the day!

[franticfred1811]

When of the best stadium rock bands of all time. To bad I can't find 20th century schizoid man.

[vidiot9]

Fuck yes - this has aged QUITE well :)

[MrJIMMYMAC31]

i like the loop shirt the guitarist is wearing....when they use to play awesome songs like this, now it's the classic rock station.....we already have one of those in chicago.

[jn16live]

WE STILL KICK ASS!@!!! Excure my foul language -

[BooLappy71]

[Freyja1133]

What  genre would April fit into?

Metal or Power metal?

Curious

[MrHeteroErectus]

@Freyja1133  Rock.

[Freyja1133]

@MrHeteroErectus What I should have asked is:

Which Genre ( other than rock ) would April Wine fit into?

[xLLSupreme]

@Freyja1133 Hard Rock

[Freyja1133]

@xLLSupreme Would April Wine be a good influence for a  Power metal band to have?

[xLLSupreme]

@Freyja1133 Probably

[Freyja1133]

@xLLSupreme  Thanks , I was wondering

[acerb45666555]

[xmen5k]

This rocks so much, love it

[PLANETunderATTACK]

Living the good life in Northern Ontario. ROCK ON, MOTHER-FUCKERS!!!!

[tehhkrmn65]

this song is eargasmic

[gmoney2796]

April Wine kicked too much ass. Canadian bands bring such a cool perspective to rock and roll. Dig it....

[MrAweeze]

i'm an american, but i have to say, most great bands haven't orignated from here (besides nirvana and STP and incubus and whatnot) and most people don't give canadian bands enough credit. this song fucking rocks.

[LegendOfOldTrafford]

man back in the day it was so hard for canadian rock bands to get any type of good record deal so it took fucking genius' to come out of canada e.g. Rush, April Wine, Max Webster among others haha fucking insane rock n roll. Even though ive grown to other music outlets i can always hang my hat on classic rock at the end of the day best music bar none....i am a child of the computer age and fake music but still I LIKE TO ROCK!!

[unstablecondition]

Yes, Rush recorded Moving Pictures in this very same studio.

[blueridger28]

Didnt i see this studio in the Rush Limelight vid.

[seb123420]

@blueridger28 yeah man i thought the same man it's a famous studio in quebec up in the mountins, many famouse bands recorded atleast one album there man like the police and a shit load of other great musicians

[DickLodge68]

Some like it hot! Whew! Old school for me! Takes me back to the crazy days of high school!

[filcool1234]

Le Studio!

[niltonfunkrock]

o mais puro rock, grande música, a primeira vez que ouvi em 1985 no DONNIGTON, sensacional guitarras!!!

[AltarEdge]

Yea man take me back!

[BlackJoak61]

I'm a janitor and I like to rock!

[XxMusclecarsxX]

this is when canada made kickass song not like today

[GerryRocks64]

@XxMusclecarsxX oh yeah, thats right brother

[surf403]

@XxMusclecarsxX What about Nickleback??

[guitarsbw]

@surf403 Really? Nickleback sucks badly

[nick999999999999999]

@XxMusclecarsxX arcade fire is wicked

[pwookie]

@XxMusclecarsxX if you want to see kick ass rocK look up Within Temptation or Delain, the good stuff is coming out of Europe)

[milkboner666]

@XxMusclecarsxX Are you on glue?Seriously Canadian band's fuck'n Rock.."I seen April Wine on Canada Day 2011"and to say not like today?Were the fuck you been for the past 30 year's?In a hole?Where in the world do you live,on a island somewhere?I'm not even gonna waste my time with you.EDUCATE!

[XxMusclecarsxX]

@milkboner666 LOL UJELLY? I said this was back in the days when canada was making good music, nowadays it just sucks. idk maybe u like nickelback....btw im canadian

[milkboner666]

@XxMusclecarsxX I'm not only laughing at you,I'm surprised your Canadian just as I'm surprised there's not over 500,000 view's on this band's video and their riff..You sound like my son who's also a anti-Nickelback kid.So with that being said,Read what I said:Educate yourself about our new band's and you'll see there's more Canadian talent out there these day's.You were just Daddy's little squirt when this came out so you need to start from the letter A as you did,now go on to the letter B.

[XxMusclecarsxX]

@milkboner666 why are you so offended?? IN MY OPINION nowadays music sucks. on radio all whats from Canada is nickelback and justion bieber.

[milkboner666]

@XxMusclecarsxX I get offended when someone put's down Canadian's and Our musician's we have and had.You hear these band's on the radio and you don't hear the any other music by other Canadian band's.I listen to new band's from Canada every day and and the older band's that are still making great album's in 2011.I agree Nickelback,Justin Beaver.lol,ect are not very talented but you'll hear some new shit if you listen to more band's,U-tube is full of them..didn't mean to come on hard man..

[XxMusclecarsxX]

@milkboner666 I agree theres some good modern canadian bands, like the sheepdogs I really appreciate them but I dont hear them often on radio

[milkboner666]

@XxMusclecarsxX So you do hear some other band's but not on the radio.I don't usually don't get pissed but when it come's to Canada I'll defend everything about this country,and that include's our band's.The Sheepdog's are just 1 band of many that they don't get airplay... just like Metallica back in the early 80's.I know their from San Francisco but you know what I mean,no airplay,no one hear's great music.Peace man.

[jfarinhote]

rocknroll guitars!!!

[Aradia5459]

The title says it all. Saw them live in Tucson, with Loverboy, think it was '81. It didn't get any better than that. Hot times. Hot times are comin' back too~!

[mrianmark]

I photographed April WIne in the 70's and other Canadian bands. TO see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

[showmedamoney]

saw this band way back when... the 80's were kind of a blur... LMAO!! i do remember they tore it up and burnt it down live!!

[virnman]

Their drummer looked like he could kick the shit out of everyone else in the band!!

[DickLodge68]

@virnman He played for Spinal Tap. 

[Syzygy60]

@virnman seriously u need to have stamina to play drums to this,u do it comes natch 2 me

[AlteredAxis]

[Freyja1133]

[mustwinder]

Canada fucking rules!!

[Kenebutch]

Looks Like the same studio, Le Studio? as the Rush video "Tom Sawyer"

[HolyHolcomb]

Good Video!

[vonkiser]

This was the theme song for 94 Rock in Albuquerque N. Mex. Damn LONG time ago.

[66Brucifer66]

This is just great! Canada puts out the ROCK! Rush! Aldo Nova! Triumph to name a few..

There is a band you probably never heard of... Minglewood..... When i was a young teenager musician/rush fan I went on vacation to Prince Edward Island, to visit relatives with my family. Being a rush head I thought it was great to visit their country and experience all things Canadian/Rush.. Well my cousin made me listen to and buy a Minglewood Album they were the Lynyrd Skynyrd of Nova Scotia

[38Rx]

I saw them at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, TN back in the eighties. They were FANTASTIC! During this song, everyone left the stage while the drummer played a major ass-kicking solo. One at a time they came on stage and joined in. I remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[Dragonsbaynn]

Best lp they ever wrote! all the rest are close seconds tho! 8>)

[RobbinDodd]

Never heard of April Wine before in my life

[LazelDazel]

Anybody else notice the riff from the end is The Beatles "Day Tripper"?

[mgmhog]

@LazelDazel One guitar is playing Day Tripper and the other is playing The Stones Satisfaction.

[L1ngP0e]

I love the Milestones!Kick ass set up!Ive loved these tunes ever since they came out!Excellent band!

[grogg1313]

I like to rock as well.

[otheroshow]

12 people dont know what hard rock is.

[cpichef1]

I think this video was made at André Perry's studio in Morin Heights,Québec in the beautiful Laurentians....a very long time ago!!!

[heyman29323]

See here in Canada every single was probably a top 10 hit. And they had, I'm guessing at least 30 - and we thought they were just as popular in America. And I'm just starting to realize maybe they had 3 hits in America at best. That blows my mind. That's like someone hearing in America that Bruce Springsteen or the Eagles anyone with a lot hits were not popular anywheres else. But even worse.  Because it's perceived if you didn't make it America you didn't make it. And it's kind of true.

[LazelDazel]

@heyman29323 Let me quote (Keith Moon?) from "The Isle Of Wight Festival" "There are people in countries that don't even know who Eric Clapton is, and they still fuck".

Not exactly what you were getting at, but still.. there are places where people don't know who Clapton is and that blows my fucking mind!

[Megatallica572]

Im seeing these guys in 2 weeks! Im So Stoked!

[1964GuitarCovers]

Journy to the stars!

[jstetzer01]

Saw the Stones, Floyd, Styx and others among April Wine. Hold there own witha kick but style. Wanna Rock. Great Fn Band. Just my thoughts, Jim

[gearsofwargamer1976]

12 people are justin beiber fans and don't like to rock.

[Mauriciocliff1]

let's rock!!!!!!!

[cocamojo1]

I LOVE TO ROCK!!!

[melodyjoy2005]

This band is great! Loved them 30 years ago when i was a teenager! Still love them now!

[kshe95realrockradio]

[kshe95realrockradio]

[TYRANTHUNK]

[iamtoothewalrus]

My name is Rod and I like to party...

[wildcat22pgt]

Wow!'

[snicklefritz1989]

888 people including me like to rock 

[Theknuckler49]

play I like to rock... or play that Dianne Sawyer song, play something

[ericou812]

yea they probably had more female fans than guys,80`s version of jonas brothers.

i seen jonas brothers,beiber on talk shows,the females go so nutso n screamin about.

[Alkonium]

@ericou812 Quite frankly, all the Jonas Brothers of the 80's are all long gone and forgotten, just like the actual Jonas Brothers will be by 2015 at the latest.

[ericou812]

i didnt care much for april wine kind of a sissy band,this song is ok

[davehutchinson67]

@ericou812 Well..I don't know if you lived during the early 80s but this band jammed...sign of the gypsy queen, this song...and just between you and me...well...we liked em..

[ericou812]

@davehutchinson67 im 46,i remember there songs,cool guitar solo in SOTGQ,i kinda grew away from them got into metal.but i think there good bands,

[DickLodge68]

@ericou812 I agree....April Wine was the calling card for girls back then...so we just kinda went with it. Throw 'em a bone. But April Wine really had nothing there and even worse - nothing up their sleeve. Mediocre hard rock at best.

[ACORNSUCKS]

Classic

[oLdSkOoLkisS]

Although the lead singer did 90% lead on this song..i did notice the other guitarist doing a lead part

[lol358]

1.Rush

2.April Wine

3.Triumph

[oLdSkOoLkisS]

2 words...BAD @SS!!

[Killbride]

Probably heavy for its time...well, there were many bands who were considered heavier then.

[smokinjoetinak]

one of the great bands of the eighties......

[RosaElliott]

I will never forget the night we were at the Coronet in Kitchener to see Bob Segerini,April Wine were playing the Aud that night, and came to the Coronet after their show, and played this son with Bob. Those were the good old days in Southwestern Ontario. The Coronet Rocked!

[vthammerman]

i know the gutarist, brian, hes from quebec, cool guy

[dondorward2010]

you cant rock any more than this!!!

[trinitymike]

When this came out I had hair like the Bassist...Now I have hair like the Drummer...lol....

[ryanpch20]

[SIERRAHPBT]

[gorillabelly1]

Le Studio, PQ? Looks like the same studio layout as Tom Sawyer/Rush.

[danielguy1]

Oh this certainly takes me back to glorious garage band days! Totally great band!!!

[danielguy1]

Oh this certainly takes me back to glorious garage band days! Totally great band!!!

[TheHappynot]

These guys are so underrated. Are mainstream acts like AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen even aware of April Wine? if so they definitely dont get the credit they dissever Jerry Mercer is never even in the conversation for greatest drummer and he right behind Niel Peart in my opinion. Had a ton of hits, if they were from Detroit or LA they would be right up there with the Beatles. What a shame the band had it just could not break out to big markets in US.

[clockworkmike83]

@TheHappynot You posted this on the video for Roller as well, do you really feel the need to make that lil speech of yours there?

[TheHappynot]

@clockworkmike83 I just want to see if people agree

[clockworkmike83]

@TheHappynot Fair enough

[jakEsidE]

@TheHappynot ur right

[Delekham]

12 people would rather go to the Opera!!
