One of the most underrated bands of all time

This takes me back. My cousin had a 78 Trans Am and we would start this song, then cover the last 7 miles home before it was over. Was young and stupid, but still a fucking ride!! Really miss those days and thankful to have survived.

Myles Goodwyn was a sublime talent. A bit of a dick, but at least he could back it up. April Wine - arguably the best Canadian rock band ever.

For my money, which people, is a hell of a lot, this has one of the best riffs in all of rock and roll.

@DjJtown Thanks for the 8-track reference, kids these day would'nt even know what an 8-track was... loved it when it would eat the tape and ya had to take it out and try and straighten it so you could do the qwick pull on one side so it would suck it back up and then back it the tape player and hope it played...lol

[MrManfly]

"The Nature Of The Beast"....their best album by a mile!!

@darinrn1999 7 miles in 2.30 minutes? Holy shit!

[HurtinAlbertan1]

@darinrn1999 can relate 100% as many friends didn't make it home from the back road parties while listening to April Wine just a blasting: and it wasn't the fault of the music, was the fault of the age.

My buddy and I in his dad's Elky (El Camino), SS 396, 4-speed. His dad never found out (Whew!), just out fucking around. We'll never see days that great again...

BTW, speaking of his dad: R.I.P., Jack, 2007. We wish you'd've talked to us all first...

Under the River Rd overpass on I-80. 1982, 1am, 2 cars stopped on the hgwy. My buddies 440 GTX and another dudes 429 BOSS Mustang. The bet: $100 & girls. First one to Rte. 47 in less then 4 min. (approx 8 miles) w/o headlights. Start 'em up, and pop in the April Wine 8-track, and GO! Those were the days. By the way; we won.

The real deal

[clocktime11]

a friend of mine lived in an apartment next to these guys in the 60s and early 70s and when they would practice the police showed up every night, but they sounded great the police would come up and talk to them about guitars and amps and stuff, they knew all the cops in the area by the time they moved out. He said they were great.
