Anyone 2024
Billy Squier is our spirit animal!
Dam good guitar rock .
I am with you in 2024.. In high school he was my first rock concert. Def Lepard opened for him. Listening to this. Great song in the middle of the night and makes it easier to hear it do well.described
Love rocking to this song!!!! The bomb🎉
So there I was, 10th grade… 1981, laying in bed listening to 102.5 WDVE outta Pittsburgh … At night they had a call in survey of songs called Smash or Trash … Stroke me comes on the radio… people call in and vote on the song.. either it’s a smash or trash… for the next week or so everyone in school was talking about the song, at that time we couldn’t believe that was on the radio… I’ve been a fan of Billy and his music ever since
Oh geez that man is wonderful and im 62 he was my favorite guy😊❤
For sure
Memories ❤
Who's with me in 2022! Billy Squier still rocks!! One guy, one guitar making tons of hit songs! I was in high school in the 80's. This brings back great memories with my friends! Loved him then, still love him!! He was so underrated!!
2024!!!
Yes, no matter what.
2024 right here
Hello Rock and Roll hall fame!!!! Squier deserves to be in!!!!!
July 2024 right here 😊🤘🤘
So wish he would’ve toured in the past 20 years. Don’t Say No is a masterpiece.
He did do a small tour in 2009, was awesome!!!
Oh my gosh, I haven’t heard this song for a long time and it still gives me chills in and out side of my body!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Billy Squier - so underrated.....
Underrated? He was about as big as they get in 83? He makes a ton of money off his catalog and chooses not to Tour or write new material
Playin4Keeps i believe the aging of his music compared to others is what she is referring to
Agreed, as is Bobby Chouinard , that crazy, amazing drummer behind the kit. Huge influence on my drumming, nowhere near as good as him but fun trying.
@@partyonurpussy do you know anything about his career? I don't think you do.
@@partyonurpussy the homophobic "fans" thought he was gay because of his RMT video and stopped coming to the shows... That hurt his career. He says so himself
Love the “heartbreaker” solo tease in the beginning
One of the few artists I regret never seeing live.
1981. I graduated High school 1980. That was the greatest generation to grow up in. ❤
Amazing talent.....
His vocals were killin it....we were all feeling it.
His vocals are EVERY bit as great live as in the studio. Billy Squire rules!!!
I go absolutely crazy for this song! This is just a timeless masterpiece.
• Mickey Van Jones • masterpiece??? Lol. What a dork
I do too!! Its absolute fucking ROCK🤘🏿❤.
And only a fucking dork would disagree that it's a masterpiece
@@dougdavis8986 it IS a masterpiece, foo
@@phillynott2459 : lol. I am sure Bach won't be losing any sleep.
I like the song but if you listed the top 1000 songs of all time it would not be on the list. Therefore, not a masterpiece!
Billy Squier deserves more recognition 😎🤟
Especially for the way he can tear open a t-shirt 😆
Billy Squier opened for Queen in the 80s @ Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto 🇨🇦.. great memory 4 a $20 ticket
Nothing like being 47 yrs old smoking a bowl blasting this jam on ur hammock by your swimming pool in Phoenix AZ.
64 here and a bowl is on its wày
Yep!
Gilbert too.
One of the most gifted talents of the Guitar!
I was there!
Amazing this dude is so talented
Jeff Golub shredding the solos!!! Such an underrated guitarist who has played with so many people including Rod Stewart. Died way too young. Check out his other solo jazz music. It's excellent !!
This was the first vinyl I owned at age 8. I learned guitar playing along - every song on this album is embedded in my DNA.
Best song that Led Zep never wrote 👍🏻
Although it sounds like Ramble On at times
Too bad they couldn't sing it as this.
Nothing better than a les Paul plugged into a Marshall amp
This song used to always be played during intermission at Hershey Bears hockey games and it fuckin ROCKS!!!!!
Looked sooo good and sounded phenomenal!
2023 “my mind is still not my own”
I remwmber Billy squier opening for the who in 1982 in Houston tx astrodome he was awesome
Billy Squier & Co. Were Amazing.
I went to this concert at cobo in Detroit my hometown . It was a great concert cobo had the best sound I seen many bands there VH -Bob Seiger Kiss just to name a few.
Nazareth opened up for him at that show.
Saw Billy as support for Whitesnake at Glasgow Apollo - good stuff
59 LP baby!!!!
Thanks Tidal for helping me to find this gem.
Word. No one can sing it like Billy. lol love the song!
Thanks for this one!
Best cut I could find on UA-cam. 👍
Still rocking this in 2022.. Classic..
2024
June 18th 2022. Still Rockn IT with this one
The amazing Jeff Golub - lead guitar. Check out his own music with Avenue Blue and solo. You'll love it.
A real rock star.!
Yes yes yes reel rok star
Great version of Lonely is the Night. Growing up in Sydney, Australia I loved this type of rock. Unfortunately, the lack of MTV, limited pop shows that only played and were anti-guitar based rock. Only Foreigner received regular airplay and even then the ballads.
I remember The Stroke by Billy Swuire as it was a Top 3 nationwide hit.
I didn't hear Lonely Is the Night until years ago and was incorrectly advised that it was a Piper song.
This is badass
Red is my favorite color!
Idem
Sammy Hagar likes Red also
I wonder if Sammy and Billy ever toured together. That would be a rockin' night!
Mine is white.
Yes a fine as hell. U rock Billy.
Hes gay as hell too! I saw him in probably 84, before he came out! But still, good music!
@@michaelhorn9114 He has been married since 2001 to a woman
I saw Billy at Reading Festival in 81... he rocked
This man was. A genius.
Yooo!!!! Bad ass Drummer and keyboardist
Just imagine how far he’d have gone minus the pink scarf
August 2024
Same!
Jeff Golub bringin' it 🎸
Hi Bury ^.^ Love this tune~❤
HOMIE WAS SO ON
3:14 Man they were really inspired by Queen, Freddie’s vocals, and Brian May’s legendary guitar picking skills. I wish they’d just come back.
Fabuloso
Saw this tour in Philadelphia and loved all 3 bands. Great night of music
I'd like to hear Rush do this song.
Why? Squire does it the best.
I’m just fine with Squires sick ass version!
I would've rather heard prime zeppelin rip it.
Just a little bit of Eddie right here
Can you name the band Billy Squire was in during the 70’s?
Piper
The Squier band without Kenny Aaronson is a totally different rhythm section. Bobby and Doug didn't jell too well.
He switched guitars at the very end? He had a sunburst Les Paul the whole song and then had a black and white Strat at the end. Weird. 8:39
Echo Charlie different concerts
Echo Charlie pretty sure while the lead guitarist finished up the song he went behind his amp stack and strapped on the fender.
Michael Walker normally they film 2 concerts or maybe 3 depending on the dates to see which one was good and put it on the dvd
It's the same concert. At 8:43 you can see where he went off to switch guitars. No doubt for the next song which was "In The "Dark".
This concert was filmed in Detroit in December 1982. You can this concert online and the company that put out the DVD says it's from 1983, hence all the videos uploaded on You Tube with that date. But it's wrong. Just a tidbit for you
they do that when it gets out of tune
Hear this song in GTA so came here
Definetely Zeppelin vibe
Sounds like a zeppelin song
I want whatever the keyboard player is taking.
I saw Billy Squier with Ratt as the opening act. He was 1000% better than Ratt, even though we went to see Ratt.
59 les Paul?
The Les Paul Billy is using is a '58...and it was stolen in New York at the Power Station Recording Studio. Some think (including me) that it was an inside job. It's been about 30 years since it was stolen and Billy has offered to buy it back at full retail value (approx. $250,000), no questions asked and so far it hasn't come up.
@@acegibson9533 That's messed up! SOME PEOPLE'S KIDS!!!!!!!
He does have another 58 and 59 burst according to an interview I read recently but also said the one used here and later stolen was better than his current ones. I wonder if the vintage special Jeff is using is Billy’s old one he used on Don’t Say No.
Came for the song but the video underwhelming
GTA V
Interesting you bring up Zeppelin ... I believe Squier stole from Zeppelin's rendition of "Nobody's Fault But Mine" to create the opening riff for "Lonely Is The Night." But I also believe "Lonely Is The Night" is a better song than "Nobody's Fault." Yes, it's interesting how these things come about ...!
wow good ear I think you're right. I mean I know you're right,
i think a lot of artist borrow but I'm not sure but maybe you know, I mean I'ts one thing to borrow and another thing to out right steal and I don't know if it's true or not, but I was told Zepplen in more then one incident, Zepplen actually stole for example "When the Levy breaks" and "whole lotta Love" I'm not trying to take anything away from Led Zeppen I think they are the greatest band of all time hands down. but I think you know what I'm talking about so please respond to this "did they or didn't they" I've argued this with a couple friend of mine and I could use your opinion on this
Supernatural
He didn't sound like Robert Plant to me.
This song does sound Zepplin-esque , but not the vocals. Anyone else?
Love this song and the stroke is a good one, but guy killed his career with the video for rock me tonite. It wasn’t that great a song imo, but the video was just him prancing around. Granted rock clothes started with the spandex in his day, but he’s wearing a tied up belly shirt in that video lol. The early days of mtv and music videos many were bad but his took the cake.
Kinda like Eddie and Plant put together?
I would say more like page and plant but either way it's a fair assessment
Seen him with rat
All the band members look like Lars from Metallica. Is this some AI joke?
Diva. Self absorbed. Liked his tunes, but give me a break with this ego. Loved his two hits.
He actually had about 9 hits.
This was a bit much haha.
2 fantastic albums
Oh geez. A performer with a bit of ego and arrogance. Sorry pal. All the great ones had to have that self-confidence, or else they're performing their entire lives in the local dive!
and it is fire..he is fire! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥♥️
Back then one gayish scene could ruin you, as it should be. I just wish it wasn't him.
One horrible video destroyed his career. Who ever talked him into doing that video should have their head examined. But it was his final decision in the end so it falls on him basically. He was known for being a guitar wiz. After that video he was known for doing arobics in tights.
He really butchered his own song
Guitar out of tune.
Defiantly can see the influence of robert plant and freddy Mercury in his live performance
❤ Love me some Billy Squire!! ❤ Feeling the Squire energy in this clip!! 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
Great Pure Hard Rock Song. I always thought it was Led Zeppelin
This is pretty much a Led Zeppelin song. I say there’s a little Aerosmith in it too. I love Billy Squier.
Why don’t you Tour anymore Mr. Squier?
3 words: Rock me tonight
