[blastforyou]

The cool black dude bass player is now working at a scrap yard in south east georgia; I asked him if the band was ever getting back togeather and he laughed as if he knew I knew (he still has dread locks and doesnt' seem to have aged a day) or maybe he is identical twin separated at birth. This was and still is one of my fav. group of 90's and it was so complete

[limabeanz24]

@blastforyou i seen them last night in newglasgow ns. he was there

[blastforyou]

@limabeanz24 I'm glad to hear that one of the best of the 90's bands is togeather and bands such as "Big Sugar" have a lot of admirers all over the states also who recognize what innovative rockers they were with a very diverse song book;consider yourself a fortunate son(or daughter) if you make one of current gigs. It was Gary on bass I made the comment about and even though I saw the comments about recent gigs I couldn't resist making the comment. Thnks for getting back

[limabeanz24]

@blastforyou i had to laugh when someone from such a good band works at a scrap yard. i would pay alot of money to see them again. it is up there with trooper and april wine in concert cant think of who was better

[randnsmom]

saw these guys last night in edmonton holy shit it was f*n awesome

[beautifulvictory]

@randnsmom I was there, too, and it was a freakin awesome!

[the0riginaldoll]

[MsRockAndRollFan]

This group is back together, have a new album coming out this spring/summer and are starting to play more concerts before their big one across Canada to support said CD. A really underrated Canadian band that's great live (and LOUD!) Gordie Johson is right up there with the world's top rock singers, guitarists and songwriters! Let's support them and spread the word globally this time!!!!!

[enoughofit7]

Great tune. Man do I love Canadian Rock. <3 and radio for that matter.

[deespirit1969]

just come back to wasaga beach please

[macpatty13]

Saw them in Belleville Ontario back in the summer with a bunch of other bands. They blew the place apart! Can't wait until this weekend, Seeing Gordie Johnson with his other band Grady at the Red Dog in Peterborough Ontario. Best entertainment you can get for $15!

[ladjable]

@macpatty13 Saw them last Sat. in Burlington @ The Legendary Red Rooster, ears were ringing all day Sunday... Ear plugs might be handy to bring along ;)

[KarennBee23]

@sherry0363 i was there and they were amazing!

[ilbngz]

thats a gnarly guiatar.

must be Canadian.

[samita808]

back in highschool this song would make me jones so bad lol...

[skip70]

ha! i cant believe this is a Peter Paul & Mary song. F'n awesome

[SCROGY]

@skip70 No, that's a different song altogether.

[skip70]

yes, different song....i jumped the gun on that....thanks for the correction. but they use the same blues lyric sample. "The Lyrics go "If i had my way, If i had my way, I would burn this old building down"

[BlatantUttery]

@skip70

This is actually a cover/rip off of a blues song from the 40's or 50's.

The beginning of this song on the album version actually samples the original. The Lyrics go "If i had my way, If i had my way, I would burn this old (whole?) building down"

[skip70]

@BlatantUttery, true....i stand slightly corrected. nothing is really all that original. Even Led Zeppelin are guilty of this

[dakelhdenes]

Awesome Song Reminds Me Of My Hot Ex Girlfriend From 1998 !!!

[KimandDakota]

Rockin out in T.O by far canadians have the talent we happier people lol

[Boldred1]

We should get a gold for music. We've got more talent per capita than The States.

[morglew]

@Boldred1 Hmmm... I don't seem to be able to like this comment more than once...

[jasrogg]

@Boldred1 oh yeah,What about Drake?

[AvalonOak]

Hmmm..Canadian men...

A Thinking Woman's sexy.

Oh yeah.

[highflier069]

bass line is fucking ace.....real good

[robrossiracing]

hemi vision i think gordie likes hemi powered chargers and there is nothing wrong with that.

[cnoah1]

i was10 years old when this came out and i love gordie

[steveswine]

Met Gordie last night at the Government Mule concert in toronto great guy.

[musiccalgary]

Gordie rocks the nation. Government Mule rules.

[tambourini]

@steveswine Hey, I was there! Glad Gordie was, too!

[mwmilling]

Best power chords in the business

[mitster85]

great band from dirty old windsor, its prolly what gives em their edge, kelly hoppe still plays in windsor downtown at the aardvark on tuesdays, great entertainment for no cost!!!

[hess550]

seen them about 8X hung out with gordie too...signed a CD for me and bought him a shot. Hamilton and Toronto

[Rockopeetzee]

Others can be our equals, but no one is better.

[ilovesolfege]

hung out with a gordie and the trews till the wee hours of the morning....

had to carry jack (trews bass player) INTO the bar. What a messy dude....great player though.

[hess550]

heard the original verision of turn the lights on.  it was alot different.

[Drunking420]

I AM TO CANADIAN FOR THIS IF I HAD MY WEED

[kentsbay]

Dude, if you need weed, there's a bass player there that i'm sure could help you out...lol.

[ciarroni]

seen big sugar play on new years, first time they played together in 5 years. so good with the lead singer of the trews too!

[ni6klandry]

peace came to me, i pretended i was sleeping, then i woke up and slipped into a dream!!!!!!

[davergauthier]

Lord help me please i am in need of some love. I don't wanna have sex with your minor daughter. She's ugly and she smells like a piece of shit.

[miestro1978]

Great band, met them few occasions, got pictures, autograph, nearly stole Gordie's OJ...but that's another story altogether..Mr. chill joins Grady whenever they're in town (london, ontario)

[originalMOON3R]

sometimes it sounds like hes saying,

if i had my weed!

[TrivinityMusic]

haaaaaaaaaaahhahaahahhahahhhah­ahahaahhaahahahahaahahahahahha­hhahahahahahahhahhahahhhahahha­hahahhhaahahaahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahhh­ahhahahhahhahahahahhahhahhhhah­ahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahhah­hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah­hahahahahahahjhahahhahahhahaha­hahahahahahahhahhhhahahahhahah­aahhhhahhahahhahhhhahhahhahaha­ahahhahahahahahahhhhahahhahahh­ahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahah­hhhhahahhhahhahahahahahahahaha­hahahhhhahahhahhahahahahahahha­hahhahhhhhahahhahahahahahhahah­aahahahahhahaahhah:)

[originalMOON3R]

hey man im serious jk.

[crazedaf]

That's a good observation, ahah!

[Eulogy2008]

oh man now everytime i hear this song i'm gonna think he is saying that lol thanks

[Ravenas]

Oh it so does. Keeping in a fine Canadian tradition?

[El135o]

Love the ringing guitar in this song. Gordie sure knows tone and how to play with feeling, unlike those little techno-metal boys. Plus he mixes in acoustic guitar!

[ndrw20]

I know the manager of this band they are very good but he dose'nt manage any more but. i mean before confusing lol

[SCROGY]

I saw Big Sugar at the Jube in Oshawa about 8 yaers ago. Geordie came out and hit the first notes of Where I Stand, and I think half the poeple in there went deaf. I had to tear pieces of fabric off my shirt and stuff them in my ears. Awesome band. There is something about Geordie's hip demeanor that reminds me of Morphine's Mark Sandman. Like he is so damn cool that you want to dress like him and look like him. Wearing all black Hugo Boss threads will make anyone a badass though.......:P

[AmpegV4]

everyone in their right mind loves this band :P

[joyzzoo]

He looks like Raif Finnes! -Love this band!

[manussa77]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME!!!

[revolt63]

Reminds me of Jeff Buckley in a way ?

This tune anyways ...

[nickw66]

Great Music, By a great band

[jagandme]

: )  Great bands and music have no borders. Music is the international language. Twist up a fatty and relax!

[eskimoposh]

Miss these guys - great live shows.

[william4art]

BIG SUGAR WAS THE SHIT!!!!! IF I HAD MY WAY>>>>... YEAH!!!! too bad...like they say...all good things come to an end...glad i got all their albums while i could

[tweak114]

still can

[hubdawg101]

we have to stop trying to grab on to the coattails of every succesful canadian, it is starting to get pathetic. and please for the love of John Bonham's ass sweat and David Lee Roths spandex jumpsuit, never lump rain (or however you spell his name)in with talented people.

thankyou,shaka bre walker,live long and prospire

[hubdawg101]

hopefully i never hear their crap again...steppenwolf, guess who, big sugar, rush, bto, neil young, hell even nickleback has more talent running down their legs after a piss.ANYWAY. canadian bands are not particular just because they are canadian, they are just good musicians who happen to live in Canada.

[hubdawg101]

klae11, please do not lump OLP in with talented canadian bands, besides jeremy's drumming, the rest of their compositions give me an ulser.if i have to see or hear about rhain mada or his equally anoying wife again in song or some crap celebrity function i'm gonna puke.hi...hi...hi...hiiiieeeee­eeee, is that even singing, or is he having a f-ckin spastik convulsion.

[mensa4dummies]

well thank you very much for having the balls for saying what needs to be said...olp singer(is that what he does)maida's nasal i got a cold voice to me is like nails on a chalkboard..also your right i hate this inferiority crisis canadian flag waving bullshit as well..from canada so what geez it is getting pathetic.

[hubdawg101]

thats what i'm talkin about.....someone else who knows what good music is, and that music is not canadian or american or whatever!!!

mensa4dummies your alright man.....talk to ya later

[medicrow]

i love you haha

[PikePounder]

Amazing song. Big Sug rocks.

[Geernoff]

If i had my way! I'll would take all your promises!

[canadiantimberwolf1]

Canadian Bands.....There certainly have been a lot of them over the years.Great to hear.

The Wolf

[klae11]

when you start looking canadiantimberwolf1, it's amazing the number of good bands we've produced over the years...

[canadiantimberwolf1]

klae11, you are absolutely right and what is really cool are bands like Steppenwolf who came out from the Toronto area and for those who are not sure who they are,listen to songs like...Born to be Wild and Magic carpet Ride,now they will know.Then The Guess Who,BTO,Neil Young you name them.

Also,it is undertsood that rock began with the Blacksdown in the southen U.S.A,BUT...internationally,

CANADA was the First country to hear Rock and Canada still remains a major market today.

The Wolf

[klae11]

hey canadiantimberwolf1, i grew up in toronto in the 60's & 70's, and had the privilege of working with and getting to know many canadian bands, i continue to follow the canadian scene and from bands such as big sugar to olp and then some, we rock the world..

[klae11]

keep on rockin in the free world...

[klae11]

canadiantimberwolf1, look in you channel for comment...

[canadiantimberwolf1]

klae11, Hi Boss,whats up.
