Billy Squier - Lonely is the Night Live - Ringo Starr

[fendersrvdg]

missnascar you comparing ROBERT PLANT to billy squier thats just wrong very wrong

[tommyrock69]

Seriously. That man's voice is as dependable as the engine in a 1950 Ford (the year Billy was born.). Never wavers.

[LesPaul2536]

haha is that edgar winter on sax?

[edzick917]

Saw him back in 83-still sounds great

[Ryansgirl29]

He still sounds amazing!!!!!:D

[JustinPierce1226]

He reminds me of a jimmy page mixed with robert plant. He has the moves, the voice, and could probably sing the bands material easily. My line up on my Ipod iis Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Heart, Billy, and then finally ACDC. Hence Billy is in my top 5 lol. I put him up with the rest of the heavy weights.

[Nuttymutts]

Ringo's the best

[TheAnthonybozza]

Poor Billy, he has two drummers and both missed three critical crashes, that add a lot to the song. Not dissing Ringo, probably only rehearsed once.

[5954ldydi]

@TheAnthonybozza --I think it was more than 3

[MJkate]

that drummer ruined it for me. terrible. i bet billy was pissed

[tfcrew]

@MJkate Ringo?

[10asamale]

@MJkate i think you might be joking??  thats Ringo Starr... from the Beatles! are you kidding me! he didnt ruin anything, they played well with each other, they would have had rehearsals and worked out s hit they didnt like .

[runthruthewoods]

Love BILLY SQUIER no matter what. Thank you for posting this. Billy, Long Live Rock !!!! You so out do anyone else EVER !!!!

[hootyhaha]

Dangit. Nobody who uploads this song ever gets the very first guitar riff. Thanks for uploadig it.. BUT DANGIT! :) The beginning riff is what is so awesome about the song.

[edjr672]

ROCK ME TONIGHT! BEST VIDEO EVAH!!!

[rudegirls89]

hk;

[Deadsurfr]

I got to see him in the Mid 80's. RATT opened up. Billy ROCKED!! VH1 had him in one of their "One Hit Wonders" . One Hit Wonder my ASS!!

[bobo8193]

he got a lot of shit about this song soundin like a zeppelin tune, which it does, but its not. It is a Billy Squier original tune, and people think he stole it or something. Hes the only guy that could rival the zeppelin sound and I give him respesct for still touring and havin on the set list.

[TheAnthonybozza]

Disappointing, but not because of Billy. Billy is one of my favorite all time rockers. Ringo missed 7 important crashes that are a big part of this song as they are a bit "off beat" and necessary. After 3 signals to Ringo on the crashes, Billy gave up as he knew it was'nt working.

Always love when Billy is playing a Les Paul over the Tele. Probably not much pre-rehearsal. I will always love Ringo though.

[jimdoire]

@TheAnthonybozza Oh My God. A Beatle ruined a Billy Squier song! HORRORS Billy needs to go back behind the Ringo's kit and kiss his ring. Lets keep it in perspective. Ringo is a living legend and Billy is lucky to be working. And I can say this as Billy fan. The guys a badass but he shot himself in the foot with his Rock Me Tonight video.

[TheShelterAtl]

@jimdoire Suuuuure he should. i love the beatles as much as the next guy,BUT let's put this in REAL perspective.....billy squier didn't have paul McCartney overdubbing his drum tracks because they weren't good enough....(an OH SNAP! is called for here) and PS: you're comparing apples and oranges. Billy Squier would have kicked ALL of the beatles' asses at playing guitar. That doesn't mean he's a more important musician......

[RustySacks]

he still got the voice!

[hazor777]

Wow! His voice is still great !!

[EjGerbino]

Oh yeah, and they make it look way too easy. Maybe for them it is though. Great song!

[EjGerbino]

He looks great for his age! And he can still sing and play guitar just like way back when. Kudos Billy! He gets mocked for all of his earlier day dancing around, but let me tell you, he will be doing it 'til he's over 100. God bless him! And this video also proves Ringo can drum with the best of them. Any style! The whole thing sounds just like the record, high level of difficulty and they nailed it dead-centre!

[88mpny]

Billy nails the solo.

[Ridinhighlaynlow]

@88mpny if by "nails" you mean "butchers"

[zuzupetals1999]

I saw Billy in New Haven CT. in 1983. The warm up band was Def Leppard. Billy blew them off the stage. It was a really great show. That show was just so much fun. Good for him that he's out struting his stuff, he still sounds great!

[bpwatl]

I saw them on the same tour in Atlanta.  Great show and best concert I've been to.

[bvt68]

llove squier got a lap dance when I was 11 or 12 before i knew what it was called ,buy my sisters hot friend thank you !!

[wolfatnight]

get the DYNAMITE....

[Nina2560]

does it count that i met his wife on October 27th and she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She is from Germany!

[rudegirls89]

Yes Nicole Squier is from Germany (a professional soccer player in her day)has been married to Billy 7 years this month. Met her myself few years back

And yeah Billy still ROCKS twice as much as the other old rockers do...and sounds good vocally too

[schakos]

1982 was the last time i saw Billy until last night in Aurora IL. My ears are still ringing and all I can say is if you get the chance go see him and be youl be extremely surrpised. At age 60 he hasnt lost a beat and sounds even better. I was amazed actually and it was a great time. If any of his people read this so thanks to Billy for being so generous with his time and going out of his way to come over & sign a cd, when im sure everyone was tired and more than ready to hit the bus for MO.

[kelephent]

i just set up his whole god damn set up, his backdrop drums amps mics and everything and now we wait, taking it down is going to be the shitty part

[goldenrod221]

going to see him tonight cherry festival michigan yeah

[goldenrod221]

god i wish he would do the original intro to the song live. i just love it

[conrynsilverleaf65]

A-friggin-men to that He;'s still got it!

[ascheylus]

billy squier freaking rocks the hell out.. always has, always will.

[Broughmo]

Billy, grab that 2x humbucker LP & don't be afraid to turn UP the Overdrive & Prescence on that Marshall. Beefing up your tinny sound is the BEST retort to the post Rock Me Tonight Video Malaise... ;-)

[eljefe067]

Amen, Broughmo. Billy--ditch the Junior, break out the LP and crank the JMP50 to an appropriate "in-your-face-marshall" 10...

[sweenykim]

Actually, his Marshall needs to go to "11." :-))

[roseleigh3010]

Sounds like the original - time hasn't touched him - Billy U rock

[rofthorax]

IS THAT EDGAR WINTER PLAYING SAX?

[zackgreer]

yes indeed.

[missnascar08]

Saw Billy Squier in early 80s. He opened for Queen. Loved him then, love him now. Totally get the Robert Plant aaah factor. He is under appreciated. More, More, More!!!! PLEASE COME TO GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bluespussy]

That was my first concert EVER, I was 15. I begged my mom, and she said, DON'T do drugs. The best show ever, Bill rocked, and Queen was the greatest. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT SHOW AT THE OMNI.

[LisaJMoore]

Yeah, but did you do drugs?

[bluespussy]

No, I wanted to prove to my folks that I could be trusted.

[LisaJMoore]

Good for you....probably a good plan so you could see more concerts!

[guilhermebsr]

Fucking good!

[Nina2560]

BILLY IN 09-----------AWESOME!!!

[spearNmagicHelmet]

billy doesn't get nearly enough credit.

[gerry20009]

poser cocksucker

[ringostarr37]

I love Billy Squier!!! And Ringo!!! I named my horse Ringo!!! I also saw Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band on June 16, 2007. I also held up a sign that said I named my horse Ringo. I didn't like or know of Billy Squier at the time though.

[sweenykim]

Billy is a BRILLIANT talent, consumatte front man & Don't say Know is Genius. Had the looks, lyrics, hooks & skills. However, I thought his live guitar sound was often a bit to tinny/trebley & the gain & prescence on that Marshall needed to be up on 11. :)

[ZeropointZero70]

nice to see Billy's back around again. He should try a comeback. Rock music certainly needs him! Remember how he carried the torch when all his influences like Aerosmith, Zeppelin and the Stones were either not there due to breakups, drug use or just plain ambivalence? Then a few years later, his career got sidelined due to that infamous dance in that video. The only thing that was gay was all those other rock acts dicking around with synths and those shred guitar lame-os! Billy COME BACK

[windmere2]

God hes sweet. Wish he'd do more. Still has the Robert Plant aahh factor. Yea, just wish the pants were a shade tighter. Miss the hair.

[Jrsrebel88]

well the years have only helped Billy Squier cuz OMG he still rocks! He sounds and acts the same in this video cuz I just watched the one from the 80's. Close your eyes and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference

[hellmutt]

damn. he really still sounds great. good on ya billy.

[wantsarevolution]

I know it's blasphemy to say that he was better than both Edgar Winter and Ringo...but damn it, it's true. Go for Ringo, stay for Billy.

[spoonsize09]

he is the hottest,tightest ass and would'nt mind stroking it in the dark lonely night as she goes down everybody wants you

sincerly dil & do

[aftguitar94]

i saw them in june at radio city. they were awesome. but watch this and then watch the video from 82 of this song and notice how he is still equally as awesome. billy kicks ass

[CallmeZimmy]

I saw them in August and the concert rocked!!! And you're right Billy hasn't really at all! FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!

[trixie1975]

This song is great...I really love the live version even more so than the studio. I wish I could've seen them this year, maybe next year.

[knomedude18]

i saw them live in new york insane concert. great song

[openshaw]

Saw Billy Squier at Pala (San Diego) 7/29 with Ringo's All-Starr Band. Billy: Perfect rock look, perfect rock singing, perfect rock guitar, perfect rock performance, perfect rock energy, also A+ supported other players. Just fucking outstanding in every way. Others in band really good too!

[denisedibear]

Great Band, Awesome Show,

Totally Rockin!!!

[PANTHERSgoRAWR93]

this is a really good show... just went to the one in chicago...the one guy from Men at Work sings Down Under and Who Can It Be Now

[GRAMAGRUNT]

Yeah, Colin Hay from Men at Work. Just saw them in Phoenix July 31st. Great show.

[sharig97]

I'm going to the show tomorrow.

Can't wait! Billy's one of the main reasons I'm going.

[mogogirl67]

I just went to this same concert last night!!!

It was unF***ing believable!!!!!!! Billy was hot, as was the rest of the band.  Concert of a lifetime! Way to Rock, Billy!
