This whole album "Don't Say No" is really good with 3 songs that hit the radio back in 1981.
I absolutely agree with you. There is not a bad song on this album. Takes me back to the days of crusin’ our local strip and blasting this through my cassette deck in my decked out 1976 Camaro.
My favorite track is “Nobody Knows” which was written about John Lennon.
Lonnie Brown that's cool!😎😎 (I really like that one too.)
Best LP of his IMO.
Agree, my favorite is In The Dark, which I don't think was a "hit" but it rocks so hard
@@stevemd6488 "In The Dark" is a great song and was one of the songs played on the radio many times back then and years after.
Billy Squier definitely does not get the respect he deserves. He has SO MANY great tunes. But he always seems to get forgotten when people are talking about great talents, even as a really good guitar player. Sad that that one disastrous music video (Rock Me Tonight) basically ruined his career and also tarnished his legacy. :-(
That was a bad video. 😖
He has so many great songs. Love Billy Squier.
He had his own niche back then, but it's universally agreed that Rock Me Tonight destroyed his career...just as it should have. Richard Simmons already had that niche.
LoL, I had forgotten about that video. Loved the song, but yeah. Terrible look for him.
Video killed the radio star.
Amen Sister!!!
Billy was a really shrewd business guy. He NEVER sold the rights to his music to a publishing company so he got 100% of his song writing royalties. 🏦
Always loved the raw sound of his music
Kicking doors, flipping crepes! Now don't you see why rock and roll is the greatest music ever!
🤣
My first, no parent, concert when i was 14 or 15 years old was Billy Squire opening for Lover Boy. It was the very early 80s. I got wasted: Lost all my friends:; and hooked up with a really homely big girl. Good Times!
Good times!! I seen "Loverboy" back in the 80's in Vancouver,B.C.🇨🇦
Billy Squier is one of my favorite artists who just dropped of the earth. What a songwriter and talent!
I seen him quite a few years ago,can't remember exactly when. But he was touring as part of Ringo Starr's All Star Band. He was playing guitar & singing I'm pretty sure there's some videos of it here in UA-cam
One of THE most underrated albums of all time - Billy Squire Don't Say No - nearly every track is pure fire.
Lex has a child like ability to uninhibitedly “feel” and groove to songs. Lol 😆 it’s beautiful
"That's a song you could kick a door open to." - Brad. Agreed good sir. Killer tune.
I laughed my butt off. It was so good. 😂
*BAM* Lonely is the night!
😂😂😂😂😂
Billy Squier was a staple of every roller rink in the 80's!! ❤
Yesssss! I just commented this above- especially “The Stroke” for us!
💯
Oh how true! Aldo Nova, BTO, 38 Special, Journey Queen. OMG! It all came rushing right back to me!
Playing bat chase, jamming The Stroke, great memories.
Billy was the jam back in the day (80's). Has a great sound and vib. "My Kinda Lover", "In the Dark", "Emotions in Motion", "Everybody Wants You", "Nobody Knows" are other great songs.
Thank you! Nobody else named these songs an I was such a fan back in the day.
@@patrickhatrick6215 then that one vid came out that ruined it all.
Great music grew up to this my junior high school years.
Don't forget "the stroke"
@@Jaggedknife11 they already did the Stoke (fantastic song)
Saw him open for Queen in 82.......The ENTIRE album "Dont say no" is FANTASTIC!
an underrated artist out of the 80's.....lot's of cool stuff.
Billy is one of the forgotten greats.
Finally!!! Never dreamed I'd ever get to here this artist on a reaction channel, I've only been requesting for over two years!!😎😎😎😎
great song. reminds me of early 80's.
Billy Squire was on top of the world and then... there was the video for Rock Me Tonite, which completely wrecked his career. Man, I wish he had never agreed to do that vid - probably would have got a lot more great songs from this guy.
I remember that, that video was a career killer. Always liked this album though, cant deny how big it was when it came out.
This whole album was really good .
Thank you for reacting to Billy Squire love his music! Their is several others My kind of lover, everybody wants you. Y'all should check into!
Yes, yes, yes Everybody Wants You
Billy Squire....CRIMINALLY underrated.
@@brettrobinson2901 yessss he is!
@@andypickle1584 great song. All his songs I've listened to have such a great beat!
TOO DAZE GONE - one of the best drinking songs ever written and recorded.
Soooo many great songs from this Boston legend !!
I've heard this song probably hundreds of times over the years on the radio; and for some reason, now for the first time, I'm really getting a Zeppelin vibe - with both the drums and guitar, especially from the bridge on, (okay, disclaimer - I'm not equating this to anything Page or Bonham did in terms of pioneering musicianship - just the overall sound strikes me as similar to something like - Nobody's Fault But Mine. I don't know. Feel free to disagree on that if you want). But then the double time speed up at the end gave me GnR Paradise City vibes too. Just a really cool song. It was all going so well for Billy until his "Rock Me Tonight" music video.
You’re not alone man, I thought this WAS Zeppelin for most of my life.
Zep pops rite out. In The Dark used to get callers to radio stations asking for that new Robert Plant song.
The Vocals too
Yup, I always thought this was Zeppelin too when I was a kid... Was super surprised when I got older & found out it wasn't... It's obvious to me now it ain't with how much Zeppelin I've digested but yea, def a heavy Zepp influence...
Right on spot. sounds like Led zeppelin's "Nobody's fault but mine.
BILLY was ahead of his time and soooooo Underrated !
You can not go wrong with Billy Squier, definitely an awesome artist and band!
Haven't thought about Billy Squier in ages. Loved his stuff back in the day. Off I go to listen to his other stuff...
Billy Squier was the bomb in the early 80 s !! One of my first concerts and he rocked !!
Had the chance to see Billy twice back in the early eighties. First time, in 1981, as a headlining act and again, in 1982, as the opening act for Queen.
I saw Billy open for Pat Benatar in the 80s and he was a great! My favorite Billy song that doesn’t often get played a lot is She’s a Runner. Billy is also a great guitarist!
Try his song- in the dark. He’s a great guitar player.
Excellent choice!!
Billy Squier, Don't Say No 👍
Billy Squier had some great hits, a true rocker , his music got you moving
Billy Squire is one of my faves. He is so underrated though. In the dark was the first song I heard and was hooked.
"In The Dark", "My Kind Of Lover", and "Everybody Wants You" are Billy Squier staples.
Billy Squire has a Christmas song called Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You that was only done live at MTV the first Christmas after it started.
One of the best rock songs ever recorded, between Billy's guitar and Bobby smashing those cymbals, plus those bass riffs!
One of the greatest guitar Riffs ever. Great old song.
I'm dusty to.
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for someone to
dig into this artist. He’s got a bunch of great songs.
Billy is one of the most underrated musicians ever. There isn't a bad song on this album.The sound of his voice takes me back to my childhood ❤
Billy was SO close to becoming a really big thing, but as even he said, his downfall was "that video" (the infamous Rock Me Tonight music video), anyone who was around back then knows...He seemed like a good guy and had some pretty good songs.
Yep, insane that one video destroyed a career. Funny it would be nothing today
Yea I remember, huge talent blown up by MTV
Yeah, that video was cringe before cringe was even a thing!! Although I think he could have pulled out of that nose dive by doing two things...
1. Get out of his own head, because it killed his confidence
2. Gotten in front of it by making fun of himself, like maybe a skit parody on SNL, show the fans he knew it was cheezy.
Exactly right. Prancing in the pink tank top did him in.
But the song is pretty good.
Billy Squier is still on my playlist today, I love his energy. "The Stroke" & "Everybody Wants You" should be next!!!
Billy Squire was a guitar rock GOD in the era of radio. So many killer songs.
And then, early in the age of music videos, when the format was being established… he made that “Rock Me Tonight” video, wherein he flounced around in like he was in the movie Flashdance or something, to some bullshit synthesizer noise.
Like they say, “Video killed the radio star”.
This song, and most of the rest of his catalog bangs, tho.
They accused him of being gay. And back then that meant you might have aids. The backlash was overwhelming.
I had heard that the video producer wanted him to dance around like that. It's amazing that one video was enough to basically offset the quality of the music of his first album.
Thank you sooooooooo much.. I love this jam and he’s underrated!
Saw him open for foreigner. His energy was crazy. Hellava show.
The Foreigner 4 tour? Saw it in milwaukee
Same at the Boston Garden
Good tune. Saw Billy warm up for Foreigner juke box hero tour in Indy...festival seating. Those were the days my friend.
I saw Billy open up for Queen at MSG in the 80s. What a show.
Heck yeah! 80's Gold!
Billy Squire. Incredible!!!
The Stroke was our favorite song at the skating rink in the 80s! Billy was underated.
This was Squire's most Zeppelin-esque song, thanks largely to the drumming of Bobby Chouinard.
And still zebra, out zepplined him.
I thought "In the Dark" was even more Zeppelinesque. Like many others, the first time I heard it on the radio I assumed it was Zeppelin.
The drummer is driving this song. Really great, heavy feel.
@@Emlizardo Agreed. He’s hammering that ride cymbal.
the drums are basically "The Ocean"
One of my fav all time songs
I saw BIlly in St. Louis when he was on tour for his 1991 album Creatures of Habit. The group I was with, along with about 25 other people, waited for him after the show to meet him. Billy's people made everybody form a single file line, and one by one, we had a meet and greet with him on the steps of one the tour buses. He was nice and allowed pictures to be taken too.
Billy was very instrumental in bringing Def Leppard to the US. He worked/collaborated with Freddie Mercury; Freddie sang on a couple tracks on Billy's 1986 album, Enough Is Enough. Billy's first album in a studio came from his first band, Piper, but he was originally in a band called The Sidewinders, before Piper.
While many would argue that the downfall of Billy's career was his Rock Me Tonite video, he continued to release albums into the 90's. Hear And Now, Creatures Of Habit and Tell The Truth are all very good, solid albums that did not get the recognition/air play that they deserved. Billy got soured on the music business and had a contentious relationship with his record label, Capitol Records, going back to 1986's Enough Is Enough. In the early 90's, there was a phenomenon of music called Grunge, coming out of the Pacific Northwest, that took the nation by storm (think Nirvana, Pearl Jam). During this time, Billy was under contract to produce one more album with Capitol Records. CR pressured him to put out in the direction of Grunge and Billy disagreed....ultimately he released the album that came to fruition, Tell The Truth. That was his final album with Capitol Records and the contentious relationship he had with them, hence the album title and the first song from it, Angry ( a good hard rocker, btw).
The fact of the matter is Billy doesn't have to produce any music, to keep making a living from it. He was smart in his career where he owns all the rights to all of his music -- how often do we see musicians/artists that have little to nothing, because they made poor business decisions by signing away their music and catalogs? In addition, Billy's song The Big Beat, off his debut album of being a solo artist, The Tale Of The Tape, is the most sampled song in history, from hip hop/rap "artists"....so imagine all the royalties hes' getting from that.
Brad & Lex, and to everybody else who is not familiar, listen to Billy's songs G.O.D., Angry, and You Should Be High, Love.
I saw Billy Squier, Ratt, and Cinderella together in 83 and it was a fantastic show. Billy was the headliner and his stage was completely pink and it was so cool when the lights went out. He was just awesome! They all were!
I saw Billy Squire with opening act: Def Leppard!! (Pyromania was just released and they haven’t broken out yet) Early’80s (it’s a blur, lol)
I could watch Lex react to music all day long. The way she feels the music is so entertaining. Brad, you are always looking for the meaning of the song through the lyrics and I appreciate that. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm a fan of you both. Rock on!
He needs to just enjoy the groove of a song instead of over analyzing the lyrics. Sometimes it is about the sound.
@@yenlard6683 That's what Lex is doing. We all have our own ways of interpreting things. If that's how Brad does it, then that's how Brad does it.
All of Billy Squires music is great!
Flippin' crepes and kickin' down doors...ok, you just redefined my teenaged years. 😂😂😂🎶💕
I love seeing how she is diggin' the song. I haven't heard that song in ages. It's a good one! This is the first song my roommates and I would put on in the car, LOUD, when we were heading out to party. It got that fun energy started for the night. This was in the late 1980's. Good times.
Billy had some really kickazz songs that made you feel good!
Hey what's up guys! Greetings from South Florida! I was a sophomore in high school when this album came out, the whole album rocks! I got another Billy for you for your one hit wonders. Billy Thorpe. Children Of The Sun. Crazy song! I think you'll love it. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
Saw Billy at Bobby Maduro Stadium in Miami, used to be the spring training facility for the Orioles in the 70’s, with Bryan Adams, Sammy Hagar and Aerosmith. What a very long day.
I saw Billy Squire with Queen in the 80’s, GREAT SHOW (Rose Garden in Portland, OR)! Billy sang back-up for Queen’s BACK CHAT and Freddie sang on a few of Billy’s songs (“Emotions in Motion”for one).
One of the greatest opening guitar riffs ever.
My very first concert was Billy Squier Def Leppard opened for him. When Billy Squier took the stage the crowd chanted for more Def Leppard!!
I get what Lex is talking about. The drums in this are impossibly precise. Like flipping crepes. I listened to this all the time as a teen. Now I can appreciate just how freaking talented these guys are.
Billy Squire was a mate of Freddie Mercury and Queen who produced some of his works, Brian May played with Roger Taylor on drums, John Deacon on bass with Freddie doing backing vocals with Roger.
He then supported them on a couple of Queen concerts.
YAAAAS!! 🥳🥳
May have been the most fun filled concert ever!! Def Leppard opened Squire closed. GREAT concert!!
So happy you found Billy!!
Made my day!! 😁❤👍🏽
Brad, "That's a song you could kick a door open to." Love it.
Great reaction, got a chance to see him live a few years back and it was still a great show. Love his song All Night Long.
I've always loved Billy Squier, always will!! RIP to Bobby Chouinard! He was a kick ass drummer!!!
Bobby was cool. Miss his style and playing.
Big, hard arena rock. One of the reasons why Billy's songs rocked so hard was because his producer at the time was Reinhold Mack, who would very shortly become Queen's producer as well. If you listen to Billy's music from this period, you can hear that Queen sound percolating in the background--and sometimes in the foreground. There was Queen/Squier cross-pollination going on as well, such as Billy's song "Love Is The Hero" which has Freddie on background vocals(!).
That’s some Bonham like drumming I never noticed before.
💗💗💗 This song, this whole album HITS!!! Literally & figuratively, from beginning to end, w/the amazing 🎸 guitar riffs, along w/ the magnificent drum 🥁 fills! The whole album is a banger! 💥 The 80's were mos definitely a great time to be growing up!😎
Loved your reactions! 👍🏼👍🏼
In the Dark. It is a truly perfect song.
Love this whole album
"Oh! . . .Oh! . . ." goes Lex when those drums first come in. Me too!
When I was a kid every time I heard Billy Squire my ears perked up. Now an almost 50 year old its still just as good. 🤘🏼
Great song! Great reaction!! I love the way Lex lights up when she hears a good guitar riff!!
Y'all should do more Billy Squire! Love it!
Awww... I love to see Brad smile and be playful with Lex.. and her fun free energy.. I need more of this!!! Brad is just as captivating as Lex.. we just don't get to see this side of him enough!!!!! I just adored seeing this give and take between the two of you. The more I watch your vids.. I am learning about Brad.. and I get it .. he's more of a cerebral person.. giving off introvert vibes.. and I can totally appreciate that .. but man it's great to see him let loose and be playful with Lex who is very free and easy .. and wears her emotions on her sleeve and very in touch with how she feels and sees things. I am telling you .. these two are quickly becoming some faves of mine in the UA-cam-verse!!! I love how transparent.. and genuine you both are on your channels!! Keep up the great work guys.. you're doing amazing! P.S. I really hope Brad shows us more of his personality.. because it's pretty great!
It’s hard to describe how big he was few a few glorious years in the eighty’s.
Another Billy Squier song "She's a runner", do it too.
Fire!
Great job great channel guys!
My first concert in '84 was Billy Squire/Tommy Shaw at the LA Forum, I was 16.
Another couple great tunes from him is MY KINDA LOVER and EVERYBODY WANTS YOU.
In the top 10 most underrated artists of all time.
1981 was a great year for music, Don't Say No was one of them. Great song from a fantastic album.
"Flipping crepes vibes." Lex, you have such a beautifully unique mind.
Used to be my go to tune as soon as I came home from work. Great tune.
In this episode of Brad & Lex, Brad likes the mood laid out for him. Its true because he's placed in position to signify his signature "side to side sway" but not without his audio input as Lex praises the "oooh" factor broadcasting her "double wrist/single wrist rock bop".
Rock n Roll. Love it. Much Zep vibes coming from it. Riffs and voice. Drums and phrasing.
Roller rinks back in the day, the Stroke comes on and everyone is up, going round and round. Great times. 🔥🎵
Swedish band "Hellacopters" are releasing first album in 14(!) years, two new singles out but check out some old ones!! You'll love songs like "hopeless case of a kid in denial" and "toys and flavors" 👍
Great band!
Flipping crapes kicked my butt. Where does she come up with this stuff? Lex should write a book...lol!!!
The Boss sang this same sentiment "I'm on Fire" by a fireplace. Billy sang this from the streets.
love this song . A killer guitar intro and my fav Billy S. song
I love the imagery:
Kicking a door open while flipping a crepe after sunset before last light
"Lonely is the Night" is like flipping crepes.....Lex is the best. Always has a take on songs I never would've considered but she is almost always spot on. Hilarious 😆
Squilly Bire! The first time I heard him was when I was a little kid in the 80s at the skating rink in my little town in Oklahoma.
Flippin' crepes, kickin' doors. New motto for life.
Lex, billy Is a Beast on guitar.
Outstanding song with brilliant guitar and drums that explode off the turntable.
My first concert YAY
