OMG...THE WORLD HAS MISSED SOME AWESOME CANADIAN SONGS...
THIS SONG FROM KIM MITCHELL, CALLED "PATIO LANTERNS" IS A HOT LEGEND THAT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO VIEW AND LISTEN TO AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE IN THEIR LIFETIME!
THIS MAN ROCKS CANADA AND THE WORLD...AND IS A MUST!
Before I didn't understand the song but when I watched the video recently I now understand this song much better. This song is actually a good song and quite catchy to sing along to. Way to go KIM Mitchell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@DRpretorius39 I am not Canadian..... and I was wondering what OPP was, am I right to assume it means Ontario Provincial Police?? Just a shout out to Canadian Friends up north, us American's down here really dig y'all's Beer, Hockey, and Music!! (The Hip have a HUGE Following here in Florida) However, Y'all can keep the CFL! ;)
@palmtreeman1 yeah ontario provincial police... and we dont want the CFL either. check out david wilcox if you like canadian music. he got tons of great stuff. riverboat fantasy would be his most succssful song.
This song and many of his others bring back many great memories of my youth. I laugh at people who stumble across Canadian talent and think it is so unusual. Kim Mitchell, the Headpins, Rough Trade, David Wilcox, Bryan Adams, Loverboy, Rush, Triumph, Helix, Colin James, Jeff Healey (RIP), Glass Tiger, Platinum Blonde, Joanie Mitchell and on and on and on... I am a proud Canadian that loves our artists and their music.
I'm an ol' Webster fan so ,,, hope I don't get a hang-over !:) Ugh oh ,, 6 star's eh dude !;} Oh ,,the long hair is cute off occasionaly for CANCER related charity's I understand ! If not for his kid's sakes at least !:)
Kim Mitchell is by far my favorte artist, Canadian or other.... He is just a genuine guy, and his pure Ontario'ness comes accross to anyone who is from there.
One thing I have to admit is that every time I heard Kim Mitchell's songs growing up in Canada........he made me proud to be a Canadian.......Thanks Kim...
It's nice to see anything with Kim Mitchell on, a great guitar player and Max Webster were a great band too! Anyone who wants to hear a great rock guitar sound and some virtuoso playing should check out the "Universal Juveniles" album by Max Webster (thats if you can get hold of it!!)
I saw him perform in St Catherines and Mississaga. He is also a DJ at Q107 and we was nice enough to let the waitress take a pic og us! He is Awesome!
The odd thing about this video is that so much people have red hair. Including my father who happens to be from Sarnia as well. Sadly I've never been there but can anyone tell me is there alot of red heads there?
Kim Mitchell is one of the greatest writers and performers ever. Check out his stuff from his band Max Webster. A true super group. I would hear chops on his stuff and then low and behold, Rush would come out with almost identical stuff on their next album. A true musical genius.
So are you are saying Kim does not write the music for his songs? I was under the impression that he did. When I mention "musical" and "chops", I am not refering to lyrics. Granted the lyrics were great and those writers need to be acknowedged. You also said "first", so what is second?
please dont miss under stand me kims great i ve been a fan since i was a small boy , and kim writes most of his music too , but i see him as a preformer and entertainer extrodanair
This guy is referenced on the last episode of Kids in the Hall season 3. Is he your Jimmy Buffet? Patio Lanterns? Thank you for not exporting this turd. We are sending Jimmy your way.
Oh my god. Are you kidding? I certainly hope so. Well that shows how much you know, because REIGN IN BLOOD was the album they released, RAINING BLOOD was merely a song. You, sir are the fool. Never fucking question a metalhead on his knowledge of metal.
well guys, belive me i know who kim mitchell, and he has way better songs then this song, its obvious this song was written to sell albums, the lyrics dont even make sense, and dixie land????? I was born in brampton ontairio and lived there 11 years, so why dont you go fucker your self and then your mom, the comment box is there for a reason, i think this song blows, not kim mitchell, suck it you fag. and please respond, id love to hear some sad assed power trip.
I'll Respond, of course it is understandable you do not like this song/video. There are alot of people who like and dislike all type's of music, It just doesn't make alot of sense cause every song ever MADE! was made with the intention of someone liken it. Btw sorry for my grammar I know im not the greatest.
