i will never change my style of listening to 60's 70's and 80's classic rock music. i am 43 years old and always listened to this music. i followed my dad's footsteps. he passed away in 2006. i love you dad and i will always miss you.
@@shanemitchell477cool tid bit I was born 1961 so I was immersed with that and an acoustic, electric with distortion, drums and it’s been a great ride, so far thanks to that maverick couple of decades. Then disco got in the way ❤️🇨🇦😂
I'm sorry for the last of your father. I'm 37 going on 38 and I lost my father to cancer in 2016. Sunday was always music day for him and I and we always started the morning with 60 70s and '80s classic rock😊
@@rodleckemby3008 I think often about being a teen during the hair band revolution and feel quite lucky to have lived through such an amazing and transforming of music. It makes me sad that we are no longer in that era and that most "music" now (the result of 98% of pop music being written by only a couple of people) is lacking. We also are young enough (in mind and spirit at least) to appreciate the existence of symphonic metal like Nightwish, Blind Guardian and Dark Moor and it is so gratifying to have found current music that makes me feel like I did in the heady decade of the '80s! :)
Wow. Just 58 yrs. I'm 58 and I hope to live 'til I'm 100. I can't bear the thought of leaving my kids and grandkids. My condolences to you and your family.🥀❤️🪽
Absolutely!!! Fantastic song, and it SOUNDS awesome, too- 2thumbs WAY up to whomever recorded and produced it! That haunting slide guitar solo gets me every time!
I love when this song comes on and I'm in my car. I turn up the radio and just melt back into my seat cruising. In my 60+ years, I'm so blessed to have so many favorite tunes I absolutely love! There's nothing better than when a great rock song comes on the radio!
@oldschool8432 Well, no, not living in no time machine here. I'm just living in 2024! Well, maybe you need to listen to the radio more often, and then maybe you'll be caught up!
Well, you there in your 60 + years you need to move to the South then, where we know how to rock to those older tunes cause our local dj's still know what we like!
This song, Twilight Zone by Golden Earring & In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins, the intro & buildup to these songs are so powerful. They grab you & hold you to the point where you have no choice but to listen & by then it's too late, you're hooked. I love it. 80's forever.
I agree 👍 and speaking of Golden Earring, when I was driving in my '66 Mustang and playing my 8-tracks, if I heard Radar Love, I couldn't help speeding up a little. It's like that song made my heart race, and my engine, too. Another song by Bachman Turner Overdrive, Taking Care of Business, was another song that pushed my foot to the metal. Different times! Gas was 35 cents a gallon and I'd drive rural roads around the lake listening to great music. I wasn't even really a BTO fan, but that sang got my blood to flowing. Honestly, though, Radar Love was meant to be driving to.
that's the first time i ever heard it and love it ! Driving through the Texas Hill country at night 6 years ago and heard it on Sirius XM Classic rewind, That shit was epic !!!
I was a teen in the. Late 70's and early 80s. The most memorable, great times of my life were in the 80s. Great music of all genres. Fun clothes. Actually doing something with friends. Picnics in the park, cookouts, bike trips, wiffle ball, touch football, dancing, house parties with a band, gin rummy, euchre, just talking, we would go to help out in crisis, bagged sand,got together to make meals for hardships in the community...I could go on and on. If you wanted to see someone you called or just drove by. Nobody fought, got killed, stabbed. If someone acted a fool you got them home and lived to see another day. Did bad things happen? Yes but not like today because people weren't malignant,narcissistic assholes.
The greatest era in music. I remember in about 1983, I asked my friend, why he loved Rock n Roll music. He said because it will never die. So far he has been right... knew his music

I’m listening and thinking about all those lunatics out there! This is more relevant today than when it came out. I’m 72 and now understand much more than I did back then. Thankful for every day of life & freedom. Pray we don’t lose it. ❤🇺🇸🙏
I remember back in 1997 when I was a jr in high school I use to listen to this song before my cross country races every Saturday morning and got a tradition going on this. We use to crank this up on the radio cruising around South Texas every Friday night. I absolutely 💯 agree with you. This song was just a masterpiece
nothing wrong with the new alternative music, can't stay in a box, life is too short not to experience all the new music out there. i too love the old classic rock and motown, but, not all the time. just my opinion.
I can’t believe in my almost 23 years I’ve never head this song until I was tearing down a dirt road in western md when it came on the radio, I was so into the music driving through the dark up and down the ridges when I realized I had never heard the songs before. Luckily my iPhone was able to tell me the name bc I could never figure it out exactly with my staticky old truck radio. What a banger! Especially when it’s late night and you’re tearing through the woods in your old pickup!
Love Tom Cochrane, I have a cassette, cd, and just purchased the original vinyl album 1981 LOVE IT!! I'm going on 62 and this guy will always be a part of my music list...
“Sometimes, music crackles with an energy that transcends sounds, scenes and songs. I remember hearing this song and it still resonates a trembling sensation… it goes beyond everything that it may have stood for! My Lunatic Fringe was my life back in Ontario”!
Vision quest! I was in the 9th grade when I first heard this song. I was in the best shape of my life, I wrestled and played football. Then I thought smoking cigarettes and pot was cool, bad, bad decision. I've been sober now for 25 years. I'm so fortunate that I was given another chance to live life in a completely different way. I do regret parts of my past. I'm grateful I'm not the person I once was.
i alway though it would be cool to take guitar solos from songs and isolate them from all the other music and vocals and use them in a guess this solo game ,, other great solos are the ones n KISS DR LOVE, DIESEL SAUSALITO SUMMER NIGHT,, molly hachets dreams, and ,,, niel youngs cinnamon girl lol that last ones a joke,
Sergio Ortiz , it doesn’t have to be played by itself, it’s still a guitar solo. Guitar solo is a section of the song which it is focused just in the guitar it doesn’t have to be played by it self. It can have other instruments in the background of the guitar while the solo is played. The solo of the song is the part where the guitar is played horizontally, if you didn’t know what a guitar solo is.
@@manny3447 The word "solo" literally means by itself. I realize we're living in the time of relative truths, but that's simply wrong. It's a guitar riff, but not a solo.
So many memories attached to this song, and the great music of the 70's/80's! Brings tears to my eyes, missing friends gone before their time... Grateful for the Internet to replay...
I was in high school when this song came out. I had a Datsun truck back then. One of my buddies in electronics class help me build a tri-amplified stereo system in my truck. This song cranked with that system the bass was phenomenal! I kind of used this song as a benchmark test for tuning the bass amplifier and crossover point. I'd tune til the amplifier was almost at saturation just before clipping. This was before everyone had booming stereos so I was quite impressive back in the mid eighties. This song really brought out the systems capabilities!!!
I wanted to mention, we used Audio Mobile amps and Lanzar speakers for the bass section. Can't recall what tweeters and mid range we used. Crossover was an active fully adjustable unit that was actually a low buget $100 piece that was pretty good quality, even in this day and age. The Audio Mobile stuff was part of a rack system. 50w per channel the pulled 27 amps off the battery when at full power! This Red Rider song would dim the headlights running two SA-100 Audio Mobiles!
Literally,....Probably one of the Greatest Songs EVER Written! Hands down, Fists Up, Red Rider was Definitely a One Hit Wonder on the American Charts, but boy, did they Rock it with this tune! 🤘😎❤👍
KMBY 107.1 FM was the rock station I would hear this on. Always seems to hit this song while on the highway when my parents drove towards Monterey to go scuba diving with friends. Mind you, KMBY had the most different rock music that was all over the place. What they called rock could been called country, or could have been called metal. They loved any song they could give us listeners and that they could rock out to. Miss that station.
First heard this song when hubby by and I were dating and we saw the excellent movie "Vision Quest". When the movie was over we went and bought the album. Yep...album...we're that old. Song still rocks!
This song is a true gem. It may be older than I am, but it is still one of the best I've heard. Not the best video, but then again, videos weren't around that much just yet. Plus these guys are a one hit wonder. Love the bass dominating this song as well.
I expressed somewhere in the comments of how the lyrics reflected how little time has changed things in our world in the political, economic, social change, humility, and lowered the flashpoint of cultural wars and misunderstandings. This classic song is more than 40+ years old and we have learned squat, and it's up to us to listen and learn damn it!!!!!!😮
We've learned the lunacy is being peddled to destroy Western Civilization. Our dark overlord elites know what's best for us all. An ancient text predicted all the anarchy we now see : a one world govt., religion and economy. See the Book of Revelation for further details. CRV!!!
@@LisaBusch The lyrics are unambiguous. The expression "final solution" is a clear reference to ultraconservative fascism. If you look closely at the writings and history of Qanon, it is juvenile and pitiful. How have grown adults become convinced that Qanon has even the most remote claim to legitimacy? It is a mystery.

One of my favorite songs-7th grade & at the traveling carnival on the tilt a whirl with my bestie Tiffany Hurst listening to this for the first of many times after….
when you are driving to Ajax psychiatric hospital to visit your girlfriend, you ask god for a sign, and this song was the next one on the radio!!!! true story. One of my all time faves, Red Rider yet another Canadian band that should be in every rock and roll hall of fame anywhere.
Thanks Todd in the Shadows, i suppose listening to my classic rock station for 48 hours really does bring out some obscure rock, like this or Hocus Pocus by Focus or One Thing Leads To Another by The Fixx.
65 yrs old and I still love this song.
For sure! Great one hit wonder.
I’m 65 too and I love it!

This song Deserves to be cranked to the highest volume with a 100 foot wall of amps!!!! Love this song. A pure work of ART
I remember back in 1997 when I was a jr in high school I use to listen to this song before my cross country races every Saturday morning and got a tradition going on this. We use to crank this up on the radio cruising around South Texas every Friday night. I absolutely 💯 agree with you. This song was just a masterpiece
Could someone please teleport me back to the eighties!!
I am with you. Take me back now.
I'm going with you guys too! and NEVER coming back!
If only that wish could be granted.
Can someone please get rid of Vevo?
Best decade ever!
Another great Canadisn band from the 80s. What as era to remember and live through. I miss those times
Still a great song. Reminds me of times with my late hubby. Miss you always Little Ray RIP Henry
This video will lead you down a rabbit hole of great tunes. Again
Thank God for classic rock radio.
No doubt
Going down to get up I know what its like
nothing wrong with the new alternative music, can't stay in a box, life is too short not to experience all the new music out there. i too love the old classic rock and motown, but, not all the time. just my opinion.
birdorienteering I agree
AMEN TO THAT!!!!
I can’t believe in my almost 23 years I’ve never head this song until I was tearing down a dirt road in western md when it came on the radio, I was so into the music driving through the dark up and down the ridges when I realized I had never heard the songs before. Luckily my iPhone was able to tell me the name bc I could never figure it out exactly with my staticky old truck radio. What a banger! Especially when it’s late night and you’re tearing through the woods in your old pickup!
Dude you're 23 ROTFL and you never grew up in the 70s, 80s or even 90s. No shit buddy! Hillarious
It's always good to know of a younger generation loving this kind of music.
Love Tom Cochrane, I have a cassette, cd, and just purchased the original vinyl album 1981 LOVE IT!! I'm going on 62 and this guy will always be a part of my music list...
42 yrs old.. this was before my time and I grew up listening to this band.. still jamming this song til today 🎉
Born in 1971, Gen X was some ride Xennial. Good for you bro!
Super Hit. Blows me away the talent I grew up with. Thank God I grew up with not just good, but Awesome music.
This song never gets old..a simple video but a huge song
2024, and this is still a banger!! Good lord what happened to music!
It's nothing but crap. I miss real music
The same thing that happened to food film and fun. Greed.
“Sometimes, music crackles with an energy that transcends sounds, scenes and songs. I remember hearing this song and it still resonates a trembling sensation… it goes beyond everything that it may have stood for!
My Lunatic Fringe was my life back in Ontario”!
Vision Quest!
You're a nut.
I still blast this song LOUD.... God I miss the 80's it's like going home playing this music.😎
Love the 70 and 80s music best of all times and will always be❤❤❤
This song needs to be played very loud. excellent lyrics 👍
A genuine Rock anthem.
BTW, loved your talk show on NBC!
Stay out of my yard though!!!
I'm playing it very quiet. The family is asleep. :-)
I don't always listen to Red Rider, but when I do, my neighbors do too.... Yeah baby!!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!!!! I love it.
fna
40+ years old and Lunatic Fringe is still relevant today as it was when first released. A great song by a great Canadian artist.
Vision quest! I was in the 9th grade when I first heard this song. I was in the best shape of my life, I wrestled and played football. Then I thought smoking cigarettes and pot was cool, bad, bad decision. I've been sober now for 25 years. I'm so fortunate that I was given another chance to live life in a completely different way. I do regret parts of my past. I'm grateful I'm not the person I once was.
Awesome movie!
This was a great song to listen to while driving at night!
It was sampled in Kurt Angles theme in Tna
Looking for people to run down.
Done that many times when the classic rock station would play it. You aren’t kidding.
Definitely a good road song
The ambulance sound always throws me off when I’m driving
One of the coolest guitar solos of all time.
i alway though it would be cool to take guitar solos from songs and isolate them from all the other music and vocals and use them in a guess this solo game ,, other great solos are the ones n KISS DR LOVE, DIESEL SAUSALITO SUMMER NIGHT,, molly hachets dreams, and ,,, niel youngs cinnamon girl lol that last ones a joke,
Cool idea.
What guitar solo? There is literally no guitar playing by itself for more than a second or two in this entire song. Unless you mean guitar riff.
Sergio Ortiz , it doesn’t have to be played by itself, it’s still a guitar solo. Guitar solo is a section of the song which it is focused just in the guitar it doesn’t have to be played by it self. It can have other instruments in the background of the guitar while the solo is played. The solo of the song is the part where the guitar is played horizontally, if you didn’t know what a guitar solo is.
@@manny3447 The word "solo" literally means by itself. I realize we're living in the time of relative truths, but that's simply wrong. It's a guitar riff, but not a solo.
So many memories attached to this song, and the great music of the 70's/80's! Brings tears to my eyes, missing friends gone before their time... Grateful for the Internet to replay...
Had to see the movie ""Vision Quest''. 1984 to appreciate this song!
I'm on a Vision Quest... I wanna wrestle Shute.
rock my soul me too! Loved that movie too.
That's odd sparkytdg, on my vision quest I wanna wrestle Carla :D
underrated soundtrack
I am a wrestler from Oregon. I watched this move because I heard it was good.. It gave me the mindset to be strong, stronger than everyone else
I’d forgotten how great this song is until I heard it on an episode of Mind Hunter. This deserves more radio play these days.
One of the best rock songs ever! Amazing
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80'S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
I was in high school when this song came out. I had a Datsun truck back then. One of my buddies in electronics class help me build a tri-amplified stereo system in my truck. This song cranked with that system the bass was phenomenal! I kind of used this song as a benchmark test for tuning the bass amplifier and crossover point. I'd tune til the amplifier was almost at saturation just before clipping. This was before everyone had booming stereos so I was quite impressive back in the mid eighties. This song really brought out the systems capabilities!!!
I wanted to mention, we used Audio Mobile amps and Lanzar speakers for the bass section. Can't recall what tweeters and mid range we used. Crossover was an active fully adjustable unit that was actually a low buget $100 piece that was pretty good quality, even in this day and age.
The Audio Mobile stuff was part of a rack system. 50w per channel the pulled 27 amps off the battery when at full power! This Red Rider song would dim the headlights running two SA-100 Audio Mobiles!
I used to ride around with home stereo speakers in the backseat of my '71 charger.Lo-Fi,but it did the job.
one of the best thing to happen to my ears is this masterpiece
Good song. Watching with law enforcement and park and rec and other people in my neighborhood
Literally,....Probably one of the Greatest Songs EVER Written! Hands down, Fists Up, Red Rider was Definitely a One Hit Wonder on the American Charts, but boy, did they Rock it with this tune! 🤘😎❤👍
turn it up till me rars bleed
ears
Human race was a good song also by them
KMBY 107.1 FM was the rock station I would hear this on. Always seems to hit this song while on the highway when my parents drove towards Monterey to go scuba diving with friends. Mind you, KMBY had the most different rock music that was all over the place. What they called rock could been called country, or could have been called metal. They loved any song they could give us listeners and that they could rock out to. Miss that station.
First heard this song when hubby by and I were dating and we saw the excellent movie "Vision Quest". When the movie was over we went and bought the album. Yep...album...we're that old. Song still rocks!
Without a doubt, one of my favorite tunes of all time!
It seems just as relevant considering the political climate of today.
This song is a true gem. It may be older than I am, but it is still one of the best I've heard. Not the best video, but then again, videos weren't around that much just yet. Plus these guys are a one hit wonder. Love the bass dominating this song as well.
One hit wonder? Really?
Its October 2024, I'm 54 and my 1st jiu-jitsu competition coming up. 80's wrestlers will get the connection.
One of greatest songs of all time. Thank you.....
LOVE THIS SONG. LOVED IT IN THE 8O'S AND LOVE IT IN 2024
I expressed somewhere in the comments of how the lyrics reflected how little time has changed things in our world in the political, economic, social change, humility, and lowered the flashpoint of cultural wars and misunderstandings. This classic song is more than 40+ years old and we have learned squat, and it's up to us to listen and learn damn it!!!!!!😮
We've learned the lunacy is being peddled to destroy Western Civilization. Our dark overlord elites know what's best for us all. An ancient text predicted all the anarchy we now see : a one world govt., religion and economy. See the Book of Revelation for further details. CRV!!!
Oh, We The Awakened Person's ABSOLUTELY HAVE.
The Great Awakening IS UPON US.
NOTHING can Stop what IS HERE.
WWG1WGA.
I don’t think you understand the meaning of the song….too bad….please don’t include me in any of the things you mentioned….
@@LisaBusch The lyrics are unambiguous. The expression "final solution" is a clear reference to ultraconservative fascism. If you look closely at the writings and history of Qanon, it is juvenile and pitiful. How have grown adults become convinced that Qanon has even the most remote claim to legitimacy? It is a mystery.
Th hi s song is written about antisemitism. Google it.
I’ve been listening to this masterpiece since it hit the waves. Turn it up.!! 🤟🤘
I'm 65 in 2024, this is my theme song! BOSS MUSIC!
👍
I'm 53 and I love real rock. The music, if I can even call it music these days is mostly all crap.
One of the most brilliant songs ever written!!!
This was one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs until I realized it wasn't Pink Floyd. :P
+1108chuck Lol for a long time I thought it was by Golden Earring so trust me I feel your pain.
Wow, now that you mention it, it does sorta sound like "Another Brick In The Wall". Nice catch.
2:25 sounds like Dave Gilmour's guitar work a bit.
Same. I knew it wasn't Pink Floy but it it's right in that style + some 80's cheese. Love it.
1108chuck - That is so funny, thanks for sharing. A Great song for sure! Crank it!

The slide guitar solo is epic
Phenomenal tone!
I think it’s actually a pedal steel guitar solo. Or slide steel. But not just slide guitar.
i never saw this video until today. wow never knew it was a slide guitar. truly well done song.
I know it’s pedal steel but it sounds very Floydish. In a good way
Amen, had no idea was steel guitar til seeing this. Secret weapon!
I love this song!! I heard it last year and I couldn't stop 😮 I never heard of the band. This is an awesome band.
Who knew this song was going to be so topical in the 2020's.
Still a great song, though.
This song was ahead of its time given all the current events going on in this day and age.
Yes it was ahead of its time but one of my all time favs. Crank it up!
DesertDigger1 i agree 100 % dude
Exactly!
Exactly.
There's a lot of lunatic fringe these days.
Still a great song, 40 years later. I always turn it up in my car when it comes on on First Wave.
Miami vice!!
One of my favorite songs-7th grade & at the traveling carnival on the tilt a whirl with my bestie Tiffany Hurst listening to this for the first of many times after….
Saw them in '81 ('82?) just after this was released. They opened for Jefferson Starship. Great show!
i saw that tour
My favorite song of the Series MINDHUNTER💯
If they could only see 2020. They are out there.
Amen brother!
Oh hell yeah!!
I totally agree, just don't know if we are on the same side of the fence. 🤪
57 and still LOVE this one. Makes speed if driving though....
amazing that I still hear this song on the radio today! what a f'ing timeless classic!
when you are driving to Ajax psychiatric hospital to visit your girlfriend, you ask god for a sign, and this song was the next one on the radio!!!! true story. One of my all time faves, Red Rider yet another Canadian band that should be in every rock and roll hall of fame anywhere.
AMAZING ... Incredible !
Love this classic song by a classic band. ❤
Music videos like these are the closest thing we’ve got to a time machine.
Wrong. Operation Løøking Ĝlass
Thanks Todd in the Shadows, i suppose listening to my classic rock station for 48 hours really does bring out some obscure rock, like this or Hocus Pocus by Focus or One Thing Leads To Another by The Fixx.
Loved this song. Used to sit in the dark in the college dorm room with just a candle for light listening to this. Ah, to be young again!
