Kim is genuinely one of Canada’s greatest musical talents. Anyone with a clue and who has heard all his solo and Max Webster work will say the same. Just incredible. A rock legend. Can’t say enough about the dude. Thanks, Kim.
Ah it’s obvious Justin Beiber is Canada’s greatest musical talent . Look at the video views Beiber has compared to these old folks , it’s not even comparable .
James Jordan good god I hope you’re trolling.
I'm going for a soda might as well
@@shizuokaBLUES Hahaha
He played at my high school and i've seen him 5/6 times, if not more. Damn mear 40 yrs ago when i first saw him. Still listen to him to this day.
Let us not forget April wine.... another classic band
Key word here was FUN!!! Thanks for the memories Kim!!!
Max Webster and Rush were our “Cruisin” songs from the 70’s. Nobody got out of the car until the song was over!
The Strat clean sound - OMG one of the Greatest out of phase strats sounds Definitely ranks up there with knopflers
And the heavy sound Outrageous
Textbook Guitar tones
that was the reason i bought this cassette. lol
"Go For Soda" is one of my all-time faves by Kim Mitchell. That could be the anthem. Thanks Boom!
Same here!
Great guy awesome dude
I still love this song! Kim always has excellent musicians in his band and the vibe between he and Peter is amazing. His drummer is also really good. This song has stood the test of time imo.
I love that he gives a deeper meaning to the song because everyone always talks about it being an drug and alcohol awareness message
That is one of the best, catchiest songs ever written. First time I heard it I thought it was .38 Special. The vocals sound JUST like them.
Awesome song
I’m American, but that doesn’t change how much this is an amazing classic of a song to me. In fact this song is great for screaming down a midwest America highway in a Buick GNX with a 12 pack of TAB by your side and a pack of Marlboro reds to go with it.
Patio Lanterns and Go For Soda - Awesome !! Good times, good memories !!!
That intro riff is just awesome. Peter has to be one of the best backup singers ever.
Thanks boom 97.3
The guitar riff is a hook. The chorus is a hook. Even the heavy bass is a hook. This song is loaded with them. If I was a fish, I'd be hiding under the reef. Great song.
That's off the chain!
Beauty tune🇨🇦
Peter Fredette is one of the best singers to ever come from this beautiful country. All We Are is another great example of his range.
I love the Bass tone in that mix. Basses don’t sound that way anymore. Great hard rock anthem and hitting the highway song!
🔊🤠👍
That bass is awesome
Right, really gives the song an edge that it might not have had without that tone.
Is it a distorted stingray?
@@smeagolmazurenko5238 P bass.
Great bass sound!
Another AWESOME CANADIAN ...you ROCK KIM
Kim has motivated me to play music since i was 12. (46 now) GFAS inspired our original song Dark Blue in 1991 and Rock and Roll Duty inspired our song Summer Flower...just realized that today!!! And we won the regional band competion in Northern New Brunswick the next year. Cheers!!
Seeing this dude live is such a fucking pleasure of mine.
I absolutely love this song!
Kim nailed this point blank!
Kim that Gutiar lick just absolutely incredible has that Motown funk groove grind Rock same kind groove like Grand Funks Some kind of wonderful was. Soda still kickin ass and takin names almost fifty years later!
What a great guy...Love u Kim Mitchell, and thanks for a great track that evokes great memories.
The man! Canadian icon.🎶🎸🇨🇦
I don’t get why there have not been more people covering it. It is a classic song. 😍
It's a hard song to play. The guitar riff is tricky to get clean
massively underrated guitarist @@trjb1767
I always wondered what this song was about. Yes, MADD used it as an anti-drinking and driving song. And a Contemporary Christian station in my area used to play it, so I thought that there was some connection there. Nice to hear Kim Mitchell explain the song in his own words. It's a monster track for sure, whatever it's about.
I always assumed it was oat sodas. Can't blame the guy or the record company for marketing the song where they could.
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of 1980s wrestling. I'm picturing Hacksaw Jim Duggan waltzing in with this song playing.
This song came on xm and I went “ oh yea” . I really did like song back then and still. It jams
Lets GO BACK TO THE 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets
Love Kim Mitchell! So glad I got to meet him last month!
Just one of those old songs that at times becomes forgotten, then later rediscovered and loved more. Honestly, I was an early adopter of MTV back in the early 80's, and I do remember this song from long ago. But as music goes, if you don't have it in your vinyl collection, rotate through it often, it is just one of those songs that gets lost and forgotten through time. But it is also one of those songs you love to rediscover later and then listen to repeatedly... it is that good. Listening to Peter Fredette sing just makes this song 'Pop!! -- he's got a bit of that Paul Stanley-esque 'KISS' vibe that just rocks this song to a whole new level.
I've always listened to this song to the end, Always !
Great showman in his day 🍁💓💓💓
That's clean Strat, Man alive that is so great. Another song I have heard a million times and hope I live long enough to hear it another million times.
Love your behind the vinyl episodes....Gowan, Mitchell and Deyoung...awesome
I was in high school, in the heyday of this song :)
Such a great player , he has such an amazing back catalogue of really quality music and musicianship. Many top notch guitar players hold his playing and songwriting abilities in high regard
This is one of my favorite songs of all time! I remember seeing Kim live many years ago in the 80s at Stages Nightclub in Kingston. What a badass show! As a bass player myself I always wanted to figure out how to replicate Robert Sinclair Wilson’s tone on this song. Fantastic, old skool Canadian rock right there!! 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
And Peter Fredette, good lord what an amazing musician! So glad I got to see them live, and I hope to again one day!
All publicity is great publicity for a song. Mr. Mitchell proved it with this gem. Thank you Kim Mitchell. Canada rules 😁👍😊
Still one of my favorite rock songs ever. Great guitarist.
"I yell, and he sings"...classic Kim...luv the man..thanks for the all good times Kim. I still remember when came out with his EP Kim Mitchell...what an album...felt so good to have him back, well then the rest is history of course.
Ha Ha - On Peter Fredette - "I yell, he sings"
A true rock god Big thanks to KM and boom 97.3
I’m a Guitar player, but the drum track is awesome on this song…there was only one station in the Little Rock market that played this song, Magic 105, and they played it until they went off the air about ten years ago. I crank it to 11 every time I here it!
I love this guy, only very recently discovered him but his work has very quickly found himself a very comfortable place in my music library
Awesome listen to you gys everyday at work.
First time I heard this I was in a 70 Chevelle SS 396 and cranked it up dropped a gear and was hauling ass!🤘
Lager and Ale kicks ass on this album as well❤❤
Man, today is the first time I've ever heard this song. Great stuff. Music video is fantastic too.
It's such a catchy tune are my favorite 80s rock tunes! Reminds me of Carefree days.
One of the greatest songs ever!
Kim is such a great guy
Love Kim Mitchel 🇨🇦 Saw Him way Back with Max Webster at the Commadour Ballroom in Vancouver 1978 ? Was Awesome !
so many great songs by Kim.
A Canadian icon 🍁💕💕💕
Kim, you are a genius
This tune got quite a bit of airplay in New Haven Connecticut on WPLR when it came out! Great tune..I still hear a lot of Kim's stuff up in the 1000 Islands in New York (Canadian radio..)
When i heard this song for the first time on a radio station, i definitely thought it was a boston song i hadn't heard, however i found this. Love the Boston self titled and love this.
I did not know Fredette was from Ottawa. So cool
always loved this song
Kim your a legend!!!
I love this song Kim and have since I first heard it in 1985 as a matter of fact while you guys were touring for this album you played at Thunder Bay me and my buddies were front row nd you guys rocked the place after the show I got to meet you and the bass player I told you I been into your music since your Max Webster days and you seemed genuinely interested and grateful to hear that was really great to meet you guys back in those days they played good music like yours on the radio but now?
He’s awesome🤗loved this song then and now
This song rips still...Great song !!
Great song!
So brilliant! Kim rules!
Kim and Peter. The dynamic rock duo!
Love this song from Kim since it's the first song from him that got me hooked.
Great album
So many great tunes on this album. Boom should do one on each track, especially All We Are - or Lager & Ale, or.......
This is my all-time favorite Kim Mitchell song! :) Thank you Boom for this backstory!
In context to the stars..... You reflect off my sunglasses....
saw Max Webster open for Rush in 1981 Phoenix
I saw them on same tour at the Houston show. Moving Pictures !
@@bobbyboykin7137 moving pictures yes
I fuk'n LOVE Kim Mitchell. One of my life long favourite musicians.
i saw kim at the pne fair in vancouver a few years back and it was the coolest thing 2 guys got in a fight when he was playing it was about 3 or 4rth song cops moved in pulled them out and the music stopped and as the 2 guys were getting taken out of there kim grabs the mic and says hmm those 2 should of went for a soda and even the cops looked back and chuckled then he went into the song and afterwards he said that was supposed to be the closing song but deemed it appropriate lol
No.1, 2007 Calgary stampede when I seen him play at the coke cola stage
Kim that song is one of my favorites!
Every thing about it is absolutely great ! I mess around with that lick alot! Its the best!
You sir are a treasure!
Love that riff
Fredette's voice is amazing. He could sing with Kiss and people would think they're hearing Paul Stanley.
Thanks for the music Mr Mitchell, especially Universal Juveniles!
He has changed so little. Throw a wig and a cap on him and it's 1984 all over again.
True that
I'm gonna have a soda
He looks great
@@Five_31 he looks good
@@marioiacolucci If only it were the 90s again
kim always said peter was the best singer in the band, humble guy
He used to play free shows for the neighbourhood Appearantly. People said he was a really nice and generous guy. A few good songs and kind of wish his career in the spotlight was longer.
Cool stuff
Very cool
What a killer riff
Old guys rock!
Wow, Kim, Mitch is awesome and it is so cool to hear the actual context of this song!
I love how happy is to explain how haphazardly the song came together and admitting to using 80s musical tropes. Great bloke.
Love that his foot is tapping unconsciously
Was never aware of this song until Trailer Park Boys unfortunately
As a child of the 80s sorry I missed it
Peter Fredette was always awesome on vox!
I love this and been listening to it since the 80’s. Still can’t play the lick. Ugh.
Love the song. But I love hearing the recording process
Beyond The 🌕 Max Webster💖
I miss the 80's
Never heard of him or this song!
Why is this not available anymore???
I always thought that they liked the quacky out of phase setting. I can't see it sounding as good with one single coil or humbucker. That intro realy makes the song I think.
Love your radio station and your UA-cam channel and I *LOVE* this song but man you really should get the title of the song correct.....sheesh
Thanks for posting this! One of my absolute favorite songs....from any genre or era! Just a fun jam and great for driving or to have on your jogging playlist.
