Me and my bestie of 50 years cruised hundreds of miles in the 80s listening to our favorite band, Loverboy. Sadly he passed away recently so it's really hard to listen to to their songs now. Our favorite was Take Me To The Top. RIP Pete. Very sadly missed...
As a small town Canadian - I want to thank you BOTH for continuing to react to our AMAZING Canadian bands. Loverboy was a great 80's rock band. My faves are Loving Every Minute of it, Working for the Weekend, This Could Be the Night, and Almost Paradise. Another awesome band is Triumph. Would LOVE to see you react to their official video for Lay it On the Line. Thank you!
amen along with Streeheart (great cover of Stones' Under My Thumb), Harlequin, 54*40 (Hootie and the Blowfish covered their "I Go Blind") Guess Who, BTO, Neil YOung, Joni Mitchell, Burton Cummings and April Wine oh and RUSH of course and the Montreal bankd Mahogany Rush
Thanks for reacting to Canadian bands like Loverboy. Mike Reno is one of the all-time great rock vocalists. When BJ said "I've got to fly" it made me think of another Canadian - Nelly Furtado and her first hit 'I'm Like a Bird' from the year 2000. That song deserves a reaction! (For that one be sure to watch the official video as it is outstanding).
Lot of great Canadian bands and singers at the time - would recommend rarely heard band SAGA, "On the Loose" and "Wind him up" - great melody and great vocals. Cannot go wrong with this selection.
Yes,...another great band & song. Gotta check out "Loving Every Minute of It" & "The Kid is Hot Tonight"...2 of my faves!! Oh and he,..the singer Mike Reno does a duet with Ann Wilson from "Heart" called "Almost Paradise"...beautiful song, another to check out!!
Yes!!!! Great one, guys!!! 😀 God how I miss the 80’s; we had great music across all the genres, and even had some new ones (trance, house, techno, Latin freestyle, new wave); best times!
The smile on Asia's face when Mike Reno really cut loose was the same reaction I had almost 40 years ago, when I first heard this song. 🙂 RIP Scott Smith.
Mike Reno has some of the best vocals around, this band is so under rated for the talent that makes this band great it's a simple equation you take one powerful singer and a bass roll that you can headbang to and hire a guitarist who can play heavy when need be and a drummer who gets into the madness and you've got a machine that will make hit after hit. Favorite song by this band notorious.
I went to a Loverboy show in '83 when I was 15. A lot of fun. Girls everywhere! Seen them again about 7 years ago. Man the crowd has changed. Lol. Grandma's, some with walkers. Band still jammin though. Time goes so fast.
@@joeraymorton2414 , I've seen them many times. First time was in the 80's, loved them. I saw 100's of bands starting at 12 in 1978! 4 bands for 8dollars. It was VANHALEN.
Most of the time when you venture out to "Find yourself" you find yourself back where you started. It wasn't so bad after all. The grass isn't always as tasty on the other side of the fence. Great tune.
What a tremendous song by Loverboy. Definitely my favourite. Takes me back to university days. This was played at every party. Not sure if you’ve reacted to Working For The Weekend but that should be next.
Some great Loverboy in your day is always damn good. They have a good rock n roll library. So yes more please!!! 🎸🎙Also Canadian which is always good for the soul. ❤️
This was my “speed skate” song at the roller rink in the 80’s! Felt like I was flyin around the rink! I still play this when I skate, run, workout. Gets me pumped!! 🤟🏼❤️🔥🛼🛼💪🏼
Loverboy lives where I do and I have seen them several times live at small local rock venues even though I was barely a kid when they were first popular. They are so fun live they make you dance for hours. One of the last times I saw them the lead singer Mike Reno had an oxygen tank on stage with him but still sang amazing. Highly recommend more Loverboy!
Yes, Loverboy! I played this in a Club Band "Stillwater." I transcribed the parts for the group and played the Bass & sang this Tune. Every Club Band was jamming "Working for the Weekend, When it's over, The Kid is hot tonight," Transcribed "Lady of the 80's" and jammed it with Ben & Walter, we also did "Loving's every minute of it." Jammed "Always on my Mind" with a Club Band from LA in the Hill Bar. I wrote out "This could be the Night, Hot girls in Love & Gangs in the Street." Guitar friend Joe from Rhode Island critiqued the Drafts and they were spot on. Mikey a Great Guitar player friend liked "Hot girls in Love." Thank You. Loverboy is a Party Club Band, Man, We'd Crank up the Amps and go for it. Lol
Asia, your face, LOL!!! So many more to check out from them...Working for the Weekend, The Kid is Hot Tonight, Notorious, When It's Over, Lucky Ones, Heaven in Your Eyes (From Top Gun), Almost Paradise (original Footloose) duet with Ann Wilson from Heart.
Jimi Hendrix wrote in "Stone Free" one of his first early Single 45 Releases "Woman here, Woman there, Try to keep me in a Plastic Cage, But they don't Realize it's so easy to Break, Woo, but Sometimes I can feel my Heart kind of Running Hot, That's when I got to move before I get Caught. Yeah, That's why, Listen to me Baby, You can't hold me down, I don't want to be Tied Down, I gotta be Free. Oww, I said, Stone Free to do what I Please, Stone Free to Ride the Breeze, Stone Free, I can't Stay, I got to, got to, got to get away right Now. Turn me Loose Baby."
The sound engineering ( preamp / compression ) on that Spector NS-4 is insane. One of the most iconic bass lines in music. And such a vacuous cartoon song with hilarious lyrics.
check out some ( April Wine - Rock myself to sleep - Just between you and me - Sign of the Gypsy Queen - Roller - I'm on Fire for you Baby - Could have been a Lady)
One of my favorite 80s bands and this song is one of their best. They still sound just as good when they tour all these years later. And those red leather pants.....
Loverboy was my favorite group from the 80’s. Seen them around 9 times in concert. When It’s Over is my favorite song of theirs. To me they are such an underrated group,from the 80’s.
Man they wrote some great tunes...I saw them in 83 in Anaheim Stadium..when they played TAKE ME TO THE TOP..with those bass keyboards the hole Stadium was echoing.going from one end to the other..it was like there was 4 keyboard players playing at the same time.. I've never heard anything like that before or sence..
Great Canadian band that I as a Canadian have loved forever.First time I ever saw lasers at a concert was one of their's.Paul Dean,a great guitar player and Mike Reno 's soaring voice made this band successful.They are great live too and seen them twice live.
Please react to Streetheart. They have great songs such as "Action", "Here Comes the Night", and they do a really good cover of The Rolling Stones' song "Under My Thumb".
I was introduced to Loverboy at 14 yrs old in my 17yr old boyfriend's Camero summer of 1982. My first concert EVER was the following summer at 15yrs old where I saw them in Toronto at the CNE on the Keep It Up Tour. The song "Lucky Ones" live was EVERYTHING!!! The whole instrumental bridge, it was WOW... go check out the video around 2:16, that part was extended in concert, blew my mind!! "Take Me To The Top" also!!!
Love Loverboy! I`ve seen them twice back in the 80s and they rock! For fun though you ought to check out Eminem and Fred Durst(Limp Bizkit) doing a song called Turn Me Loose and they use the same beat and chorus 😊 Keep On Rockin'
ah yes, 80's Vancouver BC rock. Mike Reno, the lead singer was a major heart throb back then. As Michael A indicates, they were a fun group. I'd also suggest listening to Prism: Night to Remember and Armageddon (which has a long intro) but beautifully done
I'm a bass player..in rehearsals I accidentally played a couple of notes..and realized it's this lover boy tune..and without hesitation the rest of the band started coming in..we never played it before we never Really did cause we were a metal band....fun to play on bass..great hook..
These guys were fun , seen them a few times. Once at an open air concert in Germany where it started late morning until late at night with a bunch of bands . Crazy !!!
Yes! one of my favorite 80s bands. This is also a favorite video. Mike Reno in his signature leather pants and headband. I will see them this summer. They have more good tracks. I don't know if you've reacted to Billy Squier, another 80s hitmaker. Enjoy the weekend!
I'm 65 yrs old, and it brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye when I see young people enjoying music that I grew up on and have been listening to for the past 40 or 50 years.
I saw Loverboy in Soo, Canada and I had to cover my ears when they played this song the crowd cheering was so loud. I was a freshman in Uni at the time and hadn't heard of them yet. Another 'unknown' opened for them that night; Bryan Adams; the place jumped when he did 'Lonely Nights'. This was before the Cuts like a Knife album. I know, age is showing saying 'album'.
Now you dipping into my favorite decade of music. Loverboy is deep. Working For the Weekend, The Kid Is Hot Tonite, Hot Girls in Love, Lovin Every Minute Of It(which is used to skate to at the roller rink in my little town in Oklahoma).
Loverboy was fire in the 80's. And their music still holds up
💯
I think Lover Boy was one of the more under rated bands of their time. They had several hits and their sound was/is unique.
This song gets nasty quick and Mike Reno's vocals are freaking awesome!
Has to be one of the most underrated voices ever, one of the best
Me and my bestie of 50 years cruised hundreds of miles in the 80s listening to our favorite band, Loverboy. Sadly he passed away recently so it's really hard to listen to to their songs now. Our favorite was Take Me To The Top. RIP Pete. Very sadly missed...
I'm so sorry for your loss 💔
Sorry Liz, at least you had the hundreds of miles. The saddest thing is not realizing what you had.
Dear, Sunshine soon after the rain. much luv 2u .
So sorry you lost your bestie . Truly sad
🙏🏼❤️🫶🏼

Don't forget Prism! 'See Forever Eyes' is straight fire! 😎👍👊
@@southroncross I saw Prism twice in Vancouver they were great
Trooper!
Mike Reno has an incredible voice!
Underrated Canadian Band. When you love this, do APRIL WINE "I like to rock " or "Roller". Another great canadian Band.
"All Over Town".... also.
@@2869may auch gut. Hauptsache April Wine
Sign of the Gypsy Queen
@@2869may "I don't care..."
"Before the Dawn". Oh, long ago I had a lady, she looked a lot like you. She lied to my face, such a disgrace. I had to leave; couldn't play the fool.
"WHEN IT'S OVER" LOVERBOY,,,my FAVORITE
That is a killer song!!!!!
Thanks for reacting to Canadian bands like Loverboy. Mike Reno is one of the all-time great rock vocalists.

yes!! Nelly Furtado "I'm Like A Bird" is so good.
Nelly Furtado "Promiscuous" and "say my name" ❤️
I saw these guys in concert. They sounded just as amazing as the studio album.
Lot of great Canadian bands and singers at the time - would recommend rarely heard band SAGA, "On the Loose" and "Wind him up" - great melody and great vocals. Cannot go wrong with this selection.
Also Chilliwack, "My Girl Gone Gone Gone".
Saga is one of my all time favourite bands. Wind Him Up, Gotta Love It, On the Loose, Scratching The Surface... so many great songs.
I’ve got all their albums! LOVE Saga!
@Chris Hr Triumph, April Wine, Headpins, Chilliwack, Prism, Queen City Kids, Streetheart, Bachman Turner Overdrive
Saga wind him up for sure!!!
First time I heard Lover boy was 1979 . They hit it hard! No doubt theywere going to be great!
Yes,...another great band & song. Gotta check out "Loving Every Minute of It" & "The Kid is Hot Tonight"...2 of my faves!! Oh and he,..the singer Mike Reno does a duet with Ann Wilson from "Heart" called "Almost Paradise"...beautiful song, another to check out!!
Yes!!!! Great one, guys!!! 😀 God how I miss the 80’s; we had great music across all the genres, and even had some new ones (trance, house, techno, Latin freestyle, new wave); best times!
80s the best my junior high and high school days.
@@chriswildhaber35 Same!! 😀
The rabbit hole of Loverboy will not disappoint you!!😉👏
That 80’s music makes you feel that soul to your core ❤️
Absolutely !
The smile on Asia's face when Mike Reno really cut loose was the same reaction I had almost 40 years ago, when I first heard this song. 🙂
RIP Scott Smith.
You guys have the coolest channel on UA-cam, you are so perfect together. Great song, great reaction, thank you! 💯💯💯
Hell yea!!

Agree his voice is amazing!
Love Notorious!
Another great song by LOVERBOY is Loving Every Minute Of It!!!
Yep. I don't see that mentioned too much, but this one and Loving Every Minute of It are on another level
This kid is hot tonite is another great song.
I went to a Loverboy show in '83 when I was 15. A lot of fun. Girls everywhere! Seen them again about 7 years ago. Man the crowd has changed. Lol. Grandma's, some with walkers. Band still jammin though. Time goes so fast.
Same girls as 83, plus 35 years, lol.
@@amyz2837 yah, those 25 year old hotties in 83, lost a step. Guys too. Makes you wonder what Grandparents use to be up to. Lol.
Danno, Yeah, seen them here a few years back. All the great bands of yesterday has all us grandma's ROCKIN!
Saw them 2 years ago & gonna see them again this Sept. Wished I’d seen them back in the day.
@@joeraymorton2414 , I've seen them many times. First time was in the 80's, loved them. I saw 100's of bands starting at 12 in 1978! 4 bands for 8dollars. It was VANHALEN.
I haven't heard this in ages. It was a HUGE hit my senior year of high school.
You both are awesome.Thank you for having an open mind and listening to the classics!!!
Great song! I haven’t heard this one for like 25 years! 👍🏻
YAYYYY! Glad to see you did some loverboy! Great choice!
Gotta love our Canadian rock bands 😎😎😎😎✌
Loverboy was awesome! "Working for the weekend" and "Almost paradise" ❤️
Most of the time when you venture out to "Find yourself" you find yourself back where you started. It wasn't so bad after all. The grass isn't always as tasty on the other side of the fence. Great tune.
More Loverboy. Great reactions from the both of you on the songs. And Asia I love your songs. Keep up the great reactions and more songs from you.
Take me to the top is one of my all time favorites by them. Their greatest hits album is my favorite road trip music, so many great songs!
What a tremendous song by Loverboy. Definitely my favourite. Takes me back to university days. This was played at every party. Not sure if you’ve reacted to Working For The Weekend but that should be next.
They had some great songs!
Love watching you guys getting into it. You really appreciate good musicianship...plus you get songs 👍
Some great Loverboy in your day is always damn good. They have a good rock n roll library. So yes more please!!! 🎸🎙Also Canadian which is always good for the soul. ❤️
Saw these guys in concert in 1982, off the hook!
This was my “speed skate” song at the roller rink in the 80’s! Felt like I was flyin around the rink! I still play this when I skate, run, workout. Gets me pumped!! 🤟🏼❤️🔥🛼🛼💪🏼
I was hoping you would cover this song. I love this song
I saw these boys in concert absolute greatness.. that’s real rock
Love , Loverboy. They have so many great songs.
❤️❤️❤️ one of my favorite bands!! Ty for reacting 😊
1984 in Vancouver BC…seeing them live was the best! Great memories! Thanks for playing songs from my favourite band!

Highly entertaining reaction
Lead singer of Loverboy Mike Reno sings a duet with Ann Wilson of Heart the song is Almost Paradise, check it out, great song
LOVER BOY, BILLY SQUIRE, TRIUMPH, APRIL WINE, NEED I SAY MORE!!! BEST ROCK OF THE 80'S!!! FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was 16 and my first concert was Loverboy opening for Kansas ... the Canadian Boys definitely Rocked

If they ever make a motion picture about the story of Loverboy, Emilio Estevez has to play Mike Reno.
Yeah I always thought Mike Reno looked like
Emilio Estevez.
You two may want to know you have me my biggest smiles of the day with this reaction! You two are so great!
The sound engineering ( preamp / compression ) on that Spector NS-4 is insane.
One of the most iconic bass lines in music.
And such a vacuous cartoon song with hilarious lyrics.
I'm "Loving Every Minute of It"!
Loverboy is awesome! Lots of hits to listen to! I really am enjoying you alls reactions! Good stuff! Merry Christmas
Loverboy brought guitar to my tiny radio on the FM band in the 80s. Thanks to them, and you, for bringing me back.
LMAO...3:10 every Loverboy fan is grinning and waiting to see their faces.
You two were tearing it up in your chairs!!
"Loving every minute it" another great song by Loverboy!
"The Kid, is Hot Tonight" will get the pacemaker beeping also my friend. : )
check out some ( April Wine - Rock myself to sleep - Just between you and me - Sign of the Gypsy Queen - Roller - I'm on Fire for you Baby - Could have been a Lady)
we loved Loverboy also in Germany in the 80ies. what a banger song...

One of my Favorites! Love you guys. Thanks
the perfect 80's song that had to be written. "Get Lucky", classic!!!
That solo was the defining moment of me wanting to learn guitar....epic !
Good old Calgary, Alberta, Canada boys! 🇨🇦
As a Canadian it’s nice to see people discovering and enjoying our great bands.
Mike’s voice is incredible!
Ty!! Loverboy was amazing!! Love!!
Absolutely love Loverboy!!! Been a listener since their existence!!
Love seeing people from different ages and backgrounds coming together over music
Wearing my Mike Reno red leather pants with matching headband and neckerchief, enjoying this reaction
Great Canadian band that I as a Canadian have loved forever.First time I ever saw lasers at a concert was one of their's.Paul Dean,a great guitar player and Mike Reno 's soaring voice made this band successful.They are great live too and seen them twice live.
I remember when this album came out. Being a Canadian Prairie boy, this was the shit. Thank you for your, always, great reactions. Love you. 💖💖
💖💖💖💖💖💖this song,it's an awesome driving song.💖💖you guys
Another great Canadian band. Love that Canadian Rock n' Roll !!!!
Another great Canadian band. Some former members of Streetheart.
Love them 80s Rock.
I agree and maybe some Trooper, Boys in a bright white sports car!
Please react to Streetheart. They have great songs such as "Action", "Here Comes the Night", and they do a really good cover of The Rolling Stones' song "Under My Thumb".
“When it’s over”, “heaven in your eyes “ great song’s, almost paradise with Ann Wilson

Saw these guys several times in concert and thier energy is awesome
One of the baddest jams of the 80s.
Love the intro. You have a beautiful voice Asia!
There are those that can sing and those that can dance. Asia might not be able to dance, but she has an angelic voice and beautiful smile.
These guys were fun , seen them a few times. Once at an open air concert in Germany where it started late morning until late at night with a bunch of bands . Crazy !!!
Working for the weekend....another one of there hits.
The lead singer Mike Reno has duet with Ann Wilson from Heart. Its called Almost Paradise and worth reacting to!
Loverboy, "Working for the Weekend" is a great one too
Yes! one of my favorite 80s bands. This is also a favorite video. Mike Reno in his signature leather pants and headband. I will see them this summer. They have more good tracks. I don't know if you've reacted to Billy Squier, another 80s hitmaker. Enjoy the weekend!

LoL! You guys are a pure joy to watch.
I saw Loverboy in Soo, Canada and I had to cover my ears when they played this song the crowd cheering was so loud. I was a freshman in Uni at the time and hadn't heard of them yet. Another 'unknown' opened for them that night; Bryan Adams; the place jumped when he did 'Lonely Nights'. This was before the Cuts like a Knife album. I know, age is showing saying 'album'.
Love you guys !! "Turn me Loose", has been on every playlist of mine, since 1980. Great Canadian band !!
The Wife here....This is my childhood right here!!..Loverboy is quentissential eighties pop rock...AWESOME...Your reactions are absolutely adorable !!
Keep rocking ,luv this song
That impossible note he hits in the middle if the song is incredible.
Now you dipping into my favorite decade of music. Loverboy is deep. Working For the Weekend, The Kid Is Hot Tonite, Hot Girls in Love, Lovin Every Minute Of It(which is used to skate to at the roller rink in my little town in Oklahoma).
