Funny story...missed the bus one day in high school...as I was walking back home a van stopped. It was the new kid across the street from Cali....he was headed to school and asked if I needed a ride. His van was a souped up side-piped custom with a killer stereo. He says: You ever hear of April Wine? I says "no". He says just got their new cassette "Harder faster" and slid it into the deck. He then proceeded to light up a joint and off we went.....been an April Wine fan ever since...the guy was jeff spiccoli before the movie came out...:)
Rest in His eternal peace Myles.. thanks for allowing us to be a part of the greatest Canadian rock era.. your music shall always remain within our hearts....❤️😪🎶🎸
I feel blessed to have been a teenager in the late 70's and early 80's because that was a golden time for music. I can still remember like it was yesterday driving my 1970 Chevy pickup through the Texas Hill Country with that kickass stereo system blaring out April Wine, Boston, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Rush, Styx, AC/DC, Atlanta Rhythm Section....the list goes on and on.
this to me is probably the best song April Wine made it's real it's raw and I love it. Lot of people have forgot about this band, too bad they were awesome
I was blessed to be raised with this excellent music. One of my moms favorites, she passed away 10 years ago. I listen to this song and sing along out loud for her. I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks! 😊👍
@@elianad2083 I'll give you that. Been my favorite since I was eleven. Ruined me for mediocre musicianship. I'm fifty seven now. Yikes! Hats off for being one of the comparatively rare female rush fans.
I forgot how great this band was.... Glad I saw these videos. Growing up in the seventies when people actually played their instruments and were real musicians... Freaking awesome 👏👍👍👍
Me too….never heard it. If played on the radio, it certainly wasn’t played often. Brians vocals outstanding…..he could be the lead vocals in any band! These guys were one of my top 5 or 6 groups. Unfortunately, I never saw em in concert. They certainly don’t make classic rock like they use to. It was a hell of a ride. And great to see some younger up and coming people that get the classic rock era.
I’ve seen them play it live about 6-7years ago and Brian Greenway pretty much lit the fret board on fire he was playing so fast and wild. It actually gave me goosebumps 🤘🔥🤘
I never paid much attention to this track 40 years ago. Brian's voice wasn't the band's signature, but to hear it again, I would never have guessed this was April Wine. Radio should have given this track more respect.
Has there ever been a bad April Wine Tune? What an amazing band. They have never disappointed anyone with a bad guitar solo either. Everyone in the band was a kickass musician. so much talent.
@@berserkrhadley Possibly the weakest song on the "Nature Of The Beast" album, but I liked every song on that album, and loved over 90% of it. A lot of great talent has come from Canada over the years. Gordon Lightfoot April Wine Triumph Rush & Neil Young, just to name a few.
I was in Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. and they were playing this on the store speakers, had to buy it immediately...bought the record and went right home to crank it out on my SoundDesign system...neighbors were not pleased... best memory of my adolescence. Then had to copy it to a BASF cassette so I could listen to it in my 68 VW car. Had to buy the best stereo for my POS car, car sucked, but the stereo was awesome. Man those were the best times ever. Listening now, I close my eyes, and I’m there again...momentarily at least. I didn’t even see the players in the band till years later on MTV. Now we have You Tube, what a difference a few decades make, we live like the Jetsons now...can we survive with the music now? It will never be the 80’s again sorry to say. Maybe history will repeat itself.
👊😋🤜)) I'm with you on all that Dude, 🤙 DUDE ! Hell my friends & I was saying dude back in the 70's ! THE youngsters of today's Generation have nothing that our Generation didn't give them ! Language, Dress, Music, Entertainment, Nothing of Today's youth would they have if it did'ent get handed down by OUR GENERATION !! RIGHT I'M I RIGHT ! 🤘 1234 Question , the April Wine music you bought did U originally purchase an 8 track tape or cassette maybe an LP• ? and your Home Stereo I have heard of your sound system too, very nice ! I had to Buy my own if I wanted one, so I Purechase an Electro Sonic Quadaphnic,! You could buy special Quadaphnic Tapes These Tapes made the best sound I have ever heard at the time, my first tape was Steve Miller Band, ALBUM The Joker it was the only Quadaphnic Tape I could find at the time ! Wow reading your response brought all that up? Help me out whatcha think !
I had the pleasure of seeing them for the last time in a small pub in my hometown just east of Montreal, QC, where they come from. This was back in 2003-2004. I think my years are still ringing...LOL! My kids in the car asked me why I love this kind of music, and I tried to explain to them that the musicians played real instruments and took the time to compose and write the music. Not like the crap they play on that sh** pop radio they listen to today, where the artists (they still call them that) press on a button to produce sounds that imitate instruments and sing just about anything that doesn't make sense. It's a tough road ahead, but they're beginning to see thing my way...at least I hope for the sake of good old R&R.
Honestly, I'm gonna have got to say April Wine is at the top of the list should be number one or number two in the old days and on up. That's my opinion one of the best.
This Masterpiece has everything there's nothing missing.This is the Epitome of what a Classic Rock Song is and more.Vocals are brilliant there's a reason Myles gave him the microphone for this song. SHINE ON 💎 🎼☮️👊🇨🇦🎼
Totally Freakin' awesome!!! Grew up on April Wine in the 80s in Michigan. A lot of Canadian rock there in those days. April Wine, Rush, Triumph, Lover boy. You name it. This song is amazing , as is April Wine!
The singer singing the song, Brian Greenway. He does a great job singing this song. Got to shake his hand as he was on stage unhooking his guitar pedals and such and told him great show and shook his hand. Real friendly, nice guy.
@4:06 dude's really out here rockin the fuck out in sandals! 🤣 Don't get much more rock n roll than that shit right there, lol. This is one of the best band discoveries I've made in a while and fast becoming a favorite!

I love this band can somebody explain to me why this great rock band from Canada is not in the Hall of Fame what criterias don't they meet they sold millions of Records had platinum and Gold Records absolutely asinine the Hall of Fame needs to pull their head out of their ass and get them in there one of the great rock bands of the 70s and 80s they had so much rock and roll music that was so Kick-Ass and they're not in the Hall of Fame give me a f****** break
They are in the Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I have been a fan since the I Like to Rock days. They have a huge discography, something like 32 albums and they are still touring every year. Amazing band.
@@shawndouglass2939 R'nR Hall of Lame has always been a joke. Crap like Green Day, Sex Pistols, and Guns and Roses are in, but no April Wine, Judas Priest or Dead Boys
Absolutely one of the greatest songs and bands in history. Wine rules. Brian and Myles Rule! The whole band does. I was so fortunate to see their shows in Austin, TX back in the day. April Wine fucking RULES!!!!!
Riton bro from nova scotia myles's home province we all respect him in nova scotia the boys all started out here and myles is back home on a well deserved retirement
This is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE song by April Wine.... such a kick ass song.....and the drums are actually a huge stand out in this one ..... guitar riff is kicking....
RIP Myles. Thanks for the decades of great Canadian music.
One of the most underrated bands of the era.
Then what is "exact rated"?
I agree.
Ya, maybe a little, they were pretty popular when I saw them live in 1982
very true. they never got as big as they could have based on how good theybeere
this song was killer live. usually the highlight of their show
Funny story...missed the bus one day in high school...as I was walking back home a van stopped. It was the new kid across the street from Cali....he was headed to school and asked if I needed a ride.

Harder Faster was such an awesome album.I like to rock, babes in arms, say hello, 21st century schizoid man, before the dawn, absolute gems.

Except for the greatest band to ever walk this planet..the legendary RUSH..

I never heard this song until now.

I remember when this album was released I was 15. Growing Up in Central NYS we were exposed to all the great Canadian rockers.
Brian is so good!! What a legendary band they are..
The raw talent and musical ability in these studio sessions eclipses the full catalog of most bands from then to now. Rock on!!
When singers could sing and bands write proper music.
Which we’re still seeing today
Still have the album great album awesome band.
"Le Studio"...Rest In Peace🙏😢

oo poo p
love this song before the dawn making love
Other than the lead singer I think this tune is distinctly April Wine. Just awesome.
Has there ever been a bad April Wine Tune?
What an amazing band. They have never disappointed anyone with a bad guitar solo either. Everyone in the band was a kickass musician. so much talent.
I mean, I know a few people who can't stand "Caught it the Crossfire", but that's THEIR problem, not ours.

One of the seemingly 1000's of BADASS SONGS from April Wine.
One word easily sums it up…awesome.
This Masterpiece has everything there's nothing missing.This is the Epitome of what a Classic Rock Song is and more.Vocals are brilliant there's a reason Myles gave him the microphone for this song.
SHINE ON 💎

And he plays the lead.

Hell yeah!
Awesome song! Vocals give me a shiver.Was that Greenway singing?
There's something bout this song....I've listened to April Wine before but the fact they did it at Lestudio the guitar solo haunts my ears!
The solo on this track finally got me off my ass and down to the guitar store...brilliant solo and great sound...still sounds amazing today.

This is the best April wine lineup but their all kick ass one of my favorite bands
RIP Myles Goodwyn! Been an April Wine fan for about 40 years! This is a great song with Brian Greenway on vocals and guitar.
High Quality in music.
April Wine played the Mikatam Lounge in Flint, MI many times along the path to larger US venues. Their shows there were legend.
Born and raised in Flint Michiga, Contos Rocked too 😀
I haven't heard this song for a very long time. Canada has so many amazing bands .I am from Western Canada 🇨🇦
Then you must know of the best band to ever walk this planet..RUSH..
Rush, Honeymoon Suite and Bryan Adams and April Wine are my favourites.
Brian is one hell of a singer ! And this is one bad ass song !!!
Whoa Mama! First time hearing this one. Great voice. Rocks so badass!
APRIL WINE ROCKS
This music still stands up to the so called rock of today. Keep rockin guys. Forever a fan !
