Loverboy sings Turn Me Loose

[strictmcclellan]

This is one of my mothers all time favorite's. I like this song too.(turn me loose.)

[Georgderalte]

No it doesn´t but the listeners are

[europerules81]

good music doesn´t get old !!

[BelindaNadeau]

Still as awesome as they were back in the day! Mike Reno still has an amazing voice!

[CrispyBaconMan4]

mann , Mike Reno put on a feww pounds .....

not to mention he screwed up the lyrics a couple times ....

HAHAHAHA and its almost more of lulaby now

[4BeautifulMind]

Gawd he's still so freakin HAWT!

[blavoie91]

Its not lipsynced u can tell cause at times he gets to far away and it kinda cuts his voice out till he cone back

[Fab5Frenchies]

No way it's lipsynced. There are a ton of closeups and all the ad-lib stuff matches; Not one mistake. He's not dancing around like Britney Spears and the sound / equipment guys know what they're doing, I think they're just solid performers and dude's voice is amazingly intact. Props!

[SykoticThoughts]

This sounds too good to not be lipsynced.... :(

[4BeautifulMind]

*drools*......

[MizzFknToxic]

why slower??? :-(

[mate6mty]

I remember at a concert standing by this big black guy shouting "turn him loose bitch" LOL

[angel197479]

these guys use to bag are moms...lol



[MegaGuitartim]

@angel197479 yes yes!! and its our moms

[MrMaximililano]

Lol, my uncle worked for a while with loverboy, and told me that this is the recording from their 1991 tour: lipsynced

[TheSunnyGirl83]

@MrMaximililano

Really? Then it's a real good playback...

[TheMibs56]

Yep, that is lipsynched

[4BeautifulMind]

OMG, I still love him:) He makes me...er....yeah:)

[hadd13]

Damn he can still belt it out. Remember when they were on the radio all the time

[skygirll99]

Still think he's hot!! LoverBoy was my first concert with Scorpions, Foreigner, in Los Angeles in the early 80's.  LoverBoy is a great part of my junior HS yrs

[iamgots]

Mike! I LOVE YOU!!! Come see me now baby!! OH how we could ROCK!!!! uh huh!!!

a few seconds ago · Like

[wisegal88]

That's fuckin awesome!! I just herd this song in the car and turned it all the way up!!! He's still got an amazing voice!!

[IndyCarFan68]

lip-synced fools

[deanpap]

Go Dad

[Elizabeth195852]

Wow they are old looking but that means I am old also and I am amazed that his looks hardly change and he still can sing like it was yesterday. I can remember they played at the Rock the Dock here in Sydney, I didn't go to the outdoor concert..brrrr but I listen to them from my backyard up on the hill where the music was carried. Nice to hear the old songs

[sbohandley]

Man, these guys can still bring it!!!

[sonicfart111]

damn did this song got slower 

[jamlott]

@sonicfart111  yes it got slower and he got older LOL!!!

[fmaykall]

una gran banda canadiense gracias por compartir este video muy bueno,y gran banda

[canadianboater]

Wow! I think MIke sounds better than ever! I haven't seen them live yet, but friends who have say that he still hits all the big notes in concert.

[birddoggarton]

Dude...I loved these guys. I am lucky enough to have known a few people back in the days of Starwood Amp Theatre here in Nashville and over at the MunicipleAuditorium. Got to hang with these guys and see them from behing the FOH stacks or from the VIP section. They are still awesome and will always be to me. Loved the 80's man.

[tomcamp6023]

Loverboy is one of the best bands . Peroid!!

[Maidentrollkiller]

Wow he still hit that note.... fawk man.... He still has it.... WOW these guys rock..... I was rocking to them when i was like 10 yrs old now 31 still love them....

[miamad]

Americans do things like explore the heavens, send men to the moon and return them safely to earth. Canadians do things like make maple candy and moose hats.

[sarys73]

man they still rock

[SilentServiceCode]

this is like playing a 45 at 33

[italianman2112]

My god again listen to him sing "your way" at 3:28 Only Mike Reno has that pitch. Very underrated unique voice and still very strong...just unreal !!

[DizzleHell]

Greatness!!!

[aldridtl1]

My 80's idol!!

[deadenear]

Mike Bullard has been off the air at least ten years. So this is not current.

[plantlvr]

yeah but old is cool, much better than being old and listening to rap :)

[pigletized]

As youthful as ever, as great as ever.

[steveclm]

larry david rips on that strat

[musicman2270]

@steveclm Isn't that Paul Dean on the strat?

[steveclm]

@steveclm - it was a joke dude. get it - he looks like larry david.

[uberelf65]

At least he can still hit the high notes!

[Cruedude]

Seems a little less energy after all these years but none the less not bad at all, all things considered.

[fordtomb]

I love these guys, but remember the song is being played a 1/2 step lower than the original, so they are not singing as high, but still a great job.

[mightyjoe911]

wow...his voice still the same maybe slow abit but hey he's older now...still not bad at all...

[KirkhamsEbooks]

@mightyjoe911 I've seen more recent versions which were faster. I think they were just playing around with the song. Did you see the 80's versions?

[mightyjoe911]

@KirkhamsEbooks I've seen the 80's version and its great..They don't make music like it use to..Missed the 80's

[TheSunnyGirl83]

does anybody know how old this performance is?

[TIMLEIPER]

2:01 perfect note after being old.

[pigletized]

Once again.....Loverboy is AWSOME!

[wovuween147]

I don't believe what I'm hearing. He sounds like a teenager but looks old.

[pigletized]

Loverboy is so AWSOME!

[snelitt]

The singer is Mike Reno. He's truly one of a kind, having kept his stunning vocal skills since the early 80's. There aren't many singers around that can cope with that.

[TheSunnyGirl83]

thank you ;-) He's got an incredible voice. yes, you're right, many singers lose their voices because of alcohol or drug abuse. he does not look as if he's had any drug excesses.

[TheSunnyGirl83]

what's the lead singer's name? he still has such a great voice.

[ilwwe11]

One of my favorite Songs!

[thrashnburn30]

Guys this was on their 1980 debut not their 2nd album. Just thought I'd point that out.

[lakesidepark2112]

I remember this! Bullard was doing a 1980s theme all week. He had on the show The Spoons, Honeymoon Suite, and some actors from that era.

[baristeffi]

Das ist ist immernoch der hammer. fand das Lied damals schon geil und heute auchnoch

[italianman2112]

Man listen to the way he sings "your way" at 3:31 Man that is one hell of a voice !!

[fresherstraighter]

Well, I wish I could sing at his age just half the way he can. I first heard Loverboy in 1982 when a friend who lived in Canada brought a couple of tapes and they blow my head. We formed a band and played songs from Get Lucky. I still love the band. And I`m glad they still can play like this. Greetings from Argentina.

[bumiboka]

great !!! nothing more to say !!!

[jusaLOSER]

my oldest sister loved this song! and she is 47 now 10 years older than me

[anakina1]

The audio is screwed up, he still is hitting most of those 80's notes. It is not slow, check the time of the song.

[MonkeyInAHumanSuit]

Way too slow...Sounds like they are on fuckin valium.

[KirkhamsEbooks]

Yeah

I thought it was because they were getting old (like me) but I heard a couple more recent versions where they sang faster

Rick

[knsb6]

They prolly are!

[italianman2112]

JESUS CHRIST !!! at 2:03 he can still belt out that high note !!

[Mrpantymelt]

yeah he stil has a pretty high range wow.

[nmarra01]

@italianman2112 seriously

[MegaGuitartim]

@italianman2112 Jesus Christ had nothing to do with it  ! its all mikey

[italianman2112]

@MegaGuitartim hahahahahaha good one :)

[lrl4516]

They played at busch gardens williamsburg last weekend they are pretty good

[Moosenukel]

WoW! Reno still has it! I was 13 when this came out back around '82. The good old days...

[StoryeTime]

They were playing last night at the Beach boardwalk in Santa Cruz, though I was not there, I came back meeting friends, I was home, downtown and could hear them from my house and they sounded great, his voice sounded SO GOOD I was impressed!

A friend was there and said it was great

[juanitabraden]

im proud 2b canadian, look what we made! LOVERBOY UR AMAZING! GOD BLESS

[woodencabinetfilms]

Gonna pack my bags and FLYYYYYYYY!

Damn! Not bad for someone in their 50's. I couldn't sing that good in my 20's!

[pigletized]

awsome voice...scorching guitar....what the 80s where all about for me.

[KiDharma]

Kudos to Mike Reno. He pulled it off. This is one of the best roller skating songs ever.... Yup, I'm old enough to say that....

[OfraHaza]

OMG, LOLROTF, that is true! Great roller skating song! I cannot believe how awesome he sounds! Gosh I am old!

[KoffeeTipped]

this guy kicks ass.

[CDCOLE199]

He's still got the pipes!!!!!!!!

[MegaRATEDRKO]

original is great, this is terrible

[BarmaidAz]

Me @ 17: OMGOMGOMG!!! THEY'RE AWESOME! SOOO HOT!

Me @ 45: Christ I musta been on drugs, what the hell was I thinking? Love the music though...

[kr562004]

American Go Home...loser.

[robertjohnson487]

Canadian content laws created Loverboy. Insecure, second rate, socialist nation living off the USA. 'Nuff said.

[octyellow]

what bad about canada?

[beowulven]

So, so much...

[octyellow]

have you been there

[mikeyaaa]

nothing wrong with Canada

[SeamusMuldoon]

Serious tune, only discovered it from the movie "Crank"

[hassbrot]

check out Wet Hot American Summer, it's in there too ;)

[octyellow]

so did I

[seditionape]

They slowed it down eh? Well., 25 years down the road, I guess we all get slower

[Benni19921992]

nice beat

[MBest11x]

2:07 is tight

[MBest11x]

2:04 my bad

[leashband]

check out SIX PIN DRIVER doing this song from calgary alberta canada

[katinasvenska]

Still stands the test of time

[roeskid6]

[ilybbycakez]

very unique

[turnerANDjackson]

[radonculus]

i remember when i was in ottawa i was staying in a dorm and i woke up to this and its just stuck in my head

[littledutchgirl78]

loverboy is one of canada's best bands!!!

[gotbass33727]

@littledutchgirl78

Next to Triumph and Rush

[natalieandspike]

awesome!!!

[booble1966]

Still sounding better than ever!. Rock on Loverboy!. Gotta love the '80s

[zingerz24]

Awesome Group, 80's Rocked....

[JesusLives1994]

"Can you spell old??"

"Yes, L-O-V-E-R-B-O-Y."

[livinsummer]

This song reminds me why I love the 80's even with a recession

[StanAlter]

Turn me loose..I gotta try the buffet

[Itsfuckingraining]

WHOOOOOA

2:04!!!! now that takes some serious pipes to pull that one off

friggin amazing!

[SmackeralJoe]

I forgot about this song, then I heard it in Crank and I was like FUCK I gotta hear this again!

[bamatommy]

Pure 80's. Good choice to upload this one.

[KirkhamsEbooks]

Thus far you've been the only one to make that comment. Hmmmm

[Musicman2425]

NICE LONG LIVE RNR

[yandrfan4ever]

I am still trying to figure out the lyrics in one part of this song where he says "i'm gonna pack my bags and fly.......? I can't tell if he's saying baby,away,or my way.Whether it's the studio vers or live I can't figure out that one word in the song.

[XWookienutsX]

he's saying baby

[Painter7500]

He's saying, "MY WAY!!!"

[CanadianLady03]

I love this song! I seen them in concert when I was a teenager, they were awesome. They still got it. Thanks for this~

[Zeuszgrl]

They still sound great ,

and now the lead singer fixed his teeth !

[cockinhimer]

i love this song but y does he say im even on my knees making llove 2 who i please

[KirkhamsEbooks]

Yes

[cockinhimer]

isnt that a bit gay

[Sigurduras]

Check out what he does with the mic when he is singing... its like he yanks it away from his mouth at each emphasis.

Must be some crazy trick to get a good sound. Anyhow these guys rock, I love this song. Especially the full version where the buildup is longer.

[jgmaxx11]

they sound great

[TheLivingDeadBoy]

Definitely a live perfomance and not lip-synched. Loverboy is one of the 80's bands that still sound awesome live, and I hope they keep kicking ass for years to come.

[FordF1502001]

Wish they were in Oregon

Love those guys

[Bree1059]

You shouldn't feel old ! They came to my home town last year for Falls Fest and I was in the front row, had a freakin blast !!!!

[cocoabononohead]

Plus watch when he does the scream, you can tell that's live.

[rudeEMOboi]

: )

i guess thats a point there, you said.

[cocoabononohead]

They still sound great.

[rudeEMOboi]

i believe this is some playback show :D

with his new body weight.. form..

and the age it's impossible that he sounds so young xD

[cocoabononohead]

I believe it's possible. It doesn't sound lipsync'd or pre recorded. Have some faith in Loverboy!

Some guys in their older age still got it!.

[cocoabononohead]

The pitch is a full step lower. The guitars are tuned downed and the vocals are are at full step lower pitch.

[nutforcub]

I saw them on American Bandstand when they debuted in the states. I think that was back in 1981 or 1982. Same year Scandal with Goodbye to you. It was the best song that i have ever heard. It is still a very good song.

[Dragngamer]

Great show Guys!! I really enjoyed hearing you play in Prince George keep it up

[Argetlam343]

I cant wait... i get to see these guys live tonight!!!! Feb. 5 in Prince George BC baby

[maynya]

hes still got it sighs happily

[KaniaProductions]

....St. Joseph 1982 Ski Trip....New Hampshire...what can I say....

[anakina1]

He still has the scream. Even today since this is two years old. RIP Scott.

[rudeEMOboi]

LOL PLAYBACK

[pasha28dio]

They still sound great. Sure, they are a little fatter and older, but who isn't!? :-)

[truckdrivah]

I am not.

[stratlover37]

kick ass voice .seen um live .sound amazing.

[gow75]

TOO SLOW

[maximillion123212321]

his voice hasent changed at all!! great

[northwind1970]

Fantastic performance! That was a great clip.

[Thrasher502]

Woahhh "pack my bags and FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MY WAY!!!!" he can still hit it bang on!!!

[krushinghead]

Great song.I always considered this one of their best.However,is it me or does the song sound like it's played at a slower tempo?Also is that the five original members?Can't tell if that's the original bassist.

[scomith]

The original bassist, Scott Smith, died in a sailing or boating accident I believe in the SF Bay in early 2000.

[rush2112mn]

it is being played at a slower tempo....

[KirkhamsEbooks]

yes when you compare it to the 80's version here on Youtube itself it's a bit slower with a bit less energy. It's also 20 years later with the same members

Rick

[gck5lions]

Seen these guys driving on Marine drive North and West Vancouver, long time ago. I was always playing this song.

[dynoda]

Still has it!!

[1990hornet]

The first 80s song I feel in love (this is unique cause I'm 17.)

[joanneat]

Rock on Hornet! Love this song too.

[SlaveToTheDark]

Loverboy will NEVER!!!...and i say NEVER!!!! Stop rockin'! Just awesome

[aitraining]

Great voice here. I'm impressed. As far as his looks. He does not look that old. Just too heavy. If he lost weight, I bet he'd look great. Still has his hair and face looks young.

[maicodude69]

It's incredible that reno can still hit the highs Rock on Boys

[thiussat]

Reno is da bomb. I have always wondered why Loverboy was not a legend like Stones, Aerosmith, Zeppelin, or GNR. They certainly had the talent. Reno is almost unequaled (at least in the 80's) in vocal ability. Amazing how his voice sounds live here at 50+ years old. Most singers lose it before this age.

Go and watch the original "Turn Me Loose" video. It's funny to compare how skinny Reno was in the 80's and how much younger they all looked.

[rightnow80]

mikes voice is crazy good his is my fav singer by far

[rightnow80]

mikes voice is crazy good his is my fav singer by far

[asifineededaname]

great band, saw them live in 1984 and in 2004, they've aged a little but still kick ass and rock like teens

[joanneat]

The band is older but still rock like hell! Mike Reno can still sing that high pitch! Love it.

[rightnow80]

these guys are fuckin badass idc what any of you say you find a 55 year old man who can get down like him

[silverwater006]

btw ..had Scott Smith passed away when this was recorded?

[silverwater006]

age's definitely caught up with them..but hey...THESE GUYS CAN STILL ROCK!!! ... and yeah ...Mike hasnt lost his high pitch even at 55 lol

[JLD1964]

Too slow! Bass is too high or offkey! I hate the sound of the drums! They suck! Glad I saw them in their prime wearing red leather pants, 3 platinum lps and a world tour in 1983!

[elrocker77]

Definitally, he is a damn good singer. And the song is awesome.

[newarkcatholicfan]

He is a lot bigger but his voice is still very good.

Good song.

[grinchie4]

All I can say is Wow! Still sounds as good as ever. What a high note!!

[Cherstars]

YA STILL GOT IT BABE! YOU GO BOY!!

[69camarobrett]

There as good as they used to be. And Mike Reno can still sing better then almost any other vocalist today.

[piperpicker]

We all age, it's inevitable. He proves his vocals are still workin. Seems the tempo is not fast enough for him either. ROCK ON!
