April Wine -Silver Dollar

[timmer92211]

OH, that just brings it all back. High school, the seventies. My good friend Brian Divine had this song rattling the bolts off of his Ford pickup. Devastating Rock Song!

[killakid91]

hard in the fucking paint

[MrWestdene1972]

...and the end solo is great..I think it's Myles??

[MrWestdene1972]

wow...what an epic song...still sounds great today...that tolling bell makes it !

[relyxr]

absolutely rocks

[jomar177]

Wow!! Nice to see this posted. I used to have hair when this came out

[SIERRAHPBT]

some of the best guitar work you will ever hear.

[insyncnet1]

@SIERRAHPBT maybe so...but the collaborative guiter work near the tail end of gypsy queen...is second to none. Side note: I believe April Wine originated the sound of what can be called 'whailing heavy metal guitar rifs.

[SIERRAHPBT]

@insyncnet1 I agree!

[HammerMusic]

I remember my brother had the First Glance albumthis is from. The album was good, but this song was (and still is) a hidden gem.

[theandrewharte]

the lyrics don t really line up

[Hurriken42]

The best AW song. the music, the effects, solos, lyrics, everything. One of those songs that just takes you away.

[nevetsffen]

@Hurriken42 I feel the samw way about "All Over Town".

[rclamb04]

I miss this band

[SIERRAHPBT]

@rclamb04 They are still going strong and touring.

[Ratfink465]

Haven't heard this since the mid 80's.

It still sounds great even with all the music I've

tuned into since then. One of my favorite live acts.

No one beats Jerry Mercer on drums. 

[chefwoody1]

"First Glance"...What a great album. Used to play the S#%T out of it !

[linkslingo]

What's better than 1 guitar? 3 of them, now crank this shit UP!!!

[speer69]

Should have been in Rob Zombies movie: "The devil's rejects"

[Epifonema]

I totally agree with rubicon1983 ! I also love " wanted dead or alive " by Bon Jovi. They are similar, in some ways, but what a hell of songs !

[rubicon1983]

One of those April Wine deep tracks that can polish the floor with 99% of the shit called 'music' out there today.

[MultiClassicRock]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

[SIERRAHPBT]

how bands like REM get into the rock and roll hall of fame before bands Like april Wine make me wonder and say WTF!

[dmreeoogdaq]

@SIERRAHPBT ...and a big AAAAAAMEN to that!

[SIERRAHPBT]

So Much tallent! I saw them in 82 in Denver and last june.. April Wine , getting better with age!

[xcdude35]

Is this Pink Floyd because i like it

[freakshow771]

the album was named Harder...Faster for a reason. this is the heaviest shit Wine ever did. gives me goosebumps...and a woody lol

[akrocuba]

HEAVEY!!!!!!

[SIERRAHPBT]

excellent.. does April wine have 1 bad song?

[Glass0fwat3r]

@SIERRAHPBT

NOPE! all are amazing..

[bilyshearz]

Love it!! power ballad before they were tagged as such in R&R. Just plain KICK A**

[teh1199]

GREAT SONG !

[pfalzblues]

It´s a not so bad Song. Lange nicht mehr gehört.

[NatoVidal]

My time's nearly through

No comforts of life, maybe maybe, this time my luck's overdue EXCELENTE

[slagdraggin1313]

I still have this on a ratty ole cassette somewhere...I gotta find this cd to buy!!!OY!

[krongh]

Unbelievable how great this band is. Had the privilege of seeing them live last week. AMAZING show. Myles has to be one of the most talented frontman in the business.

[pesmerga90]

These guys were my first concert - front row, center stage, and I had back stage passes. The Flint IMA. They played with Nazarath (not as good). Played guitar with Myles Goodwin - these guys ROCK!!!!!!!!

[barrie7690]

Monster song,and the passage from 3.50 to the fadeout should be one of the most well-known in rock if there was any justice in this world!

[jesapizza]

my 1980's Pioneer PL Turntable running thru my 1980's (80 or 100W) ONKYO Receiver into my 1980's JBL and (some other pair of speakers) AGREE!

[boxoffroggs]

Thanks garboo, ive been waiting for somebody to post this, This song just kicks some MAJOR ASS

[Vatch1966]

The last song off the FIRST GLANCE album!!

[abnerbeebee]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet Tune !!!

[bigroach650]

i cant believe more people dont know this song i had a chance to see them in salina ks. an fucking missed it APRIL wine rocks livin the lowlife in ks later ROACH

[slagdraggin1313]

@bigroach650 I just missed them 6 miles from my house cuz I had to fix my truck first...pissed me off!!!

[blondes4mee]

Terrific song!

[jesapizza]

My guess is Bon Jovi and Sambora love this song.

Precursor to "Wanted Dead or Alive".

April Wine's finest moment.

Hell of a post-thx.

[jesapizza]

Before the Dawn is close though--damn close.

[tearitupnstartover]

My guess is Bon Jovi and Sambora wish they WROTE this song.

[emeraldcityvideos]

this was on first glance... god i miss this record.

[doberchic]

thanks for posting this

[ldystngry]

Awesone I've been looking for this one! Please put more from this albue. I had it!

[scubasteveversace]

hard as fuck

[pCf96]

@scubasteveversace That's Trailer Park Life xD

[HammerMusic]

WOW! I love this song and have waited a long time to hear it again! A dark song from a great band who is not known for writing dark material. ROCK ON!
