I'm 62 and now I pass this music on to my Grandson (Giovanni) and he loves it and passes it on to his friends Our song is Blood Sweat and Tears When I die. There will be one child born to carry on !!!
@@larrylebowski8386 Because the rock hall has rap acts in it but not The Doobie Brothers is why I lived right up the road from it for 11 years and never set foot in the place. It SUCKS!!!
A man in a tight leopard jumpsuit, wearing cowboy boots, sporting a mullet, and carrying a guitar that shoots lasers. Folks, it doesn't get much more 80's than this.
@J M 1 Your not alone brother, I lived my teen years through the the 80's, here, in the mountains of southern W,V,. I'm 56, half bald, half blind and ache in body parts I did'nt know I had. When I listen to music from that era, I drift back in time. Suddenly, I have hair down to my shoulders and I'm sitting around a camp fire, a cold beer in my hand and a dark haired pretty girl is sitting by my side. Rock music is blasting from a boom box, and I feel so alive, and I seem to think, that I'm going to live forever. Then I'm brought back to realty. Man, it sure sucks getting old, and your right, we all move on and now I try to remember to, not cry because it's over but to smile because it happened. Sorry to write so much. Later and take care @JM1.
You are not alone. Graduated in 1982. Grew up with 70s and 80s music. Nothing will ever compare to the classic hits that we heard. There is no music that will EVER be that awesome.
Me also well I was to Graduate in 1982 but partied to much so went till 1983.Seen these guys live in Odessa TX this was the most played song around here in Odessa TX in 1982 , 1983
I was born in 1960. Loved the 70s and 80's. It was the best time to be young!! Loved this song!!!!! Sorry the rest of you weren't there. Wouldn't trade being old for anything.
@@devinhurst481 no harm no foul. I remember seeing that video on MTV back in the day, great song, great rips in the song. It's too bad Aldo Nova never really hit greatness like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Queensryche and some of the other greats. For a low level Metal Band, I thought they weren't too bad. And you know, there were a lot of them too...Europe, Loverboy, Dokken to name a few. They had maybe only two or three great hits but faded with time as they just weren't popular like those mentioned above. But hey, I still listen to it all...be safe and fucking crank it loud girl.....🤘🤘
Yes we are! I’m 50, but still jam out to this. Loved this as much back then as I still do today in 2021 of may, class of 1988, Only wish I could meet him in person

I AGREE WITH YOU, THE 1980s & MAYBE A BIT OF THE EARLY 90s WAS A TIME WHERE WE WERE ALL GIFTED WITH A LOT OF FREAKING AWESOME BANDS, & A SHITLOAD OF GREAT FREAKING MUSIC.. WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE 80s BLEW AWAY MOST OTHER ERAs OF MUSIC. I'M DEFINITELY NOT SAYING ALL OTHER TIMES SUCKED, CAUSE NEVER SAID THAT, NOR IMPLIED IT, CAUSE "IMO", THE LATE 70s & 90s, Even some of the Early 2000s Were FULL of Some Unique, & STRONG MUSIC. BUT, THE 80s DEFINITELY PUT IT'S MARK ON THE ROCK~N~ROLL, HEAVY METAL ERA, NO DOUBT.
Fantasy by Aldo Nova is such a classic rock hit, saw them in concert. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all those golden classic cars, movies, music and songs, YOU were very blessed, an era that will never be repeated!
Buddylove346, I have this on cassette and VCR tape , And can listen to this and all my favorite 70s ,80s, Tunes anytime I want , I have heard it since it first came out and more times than your family has fingers and toes , City nights Summer Breeze makes you feel all right Neon lights shining brightly make your brain ignite See the girls with the dresses so tight Give you love if the price is right Black or white in the streets there's no wrong and no right , Nooooo Outta Sight, buy your kicks from the man in the white Feels Alright, powder pleasure in your nose tonight See the men paint their faces and cry Like some girls it makes you wonder why City Life, sure it's cool but it Cuts Like a Knife, it's your life So forget all that you see It's not reality, it's just a fantasy Can't you see what this crazy life is doing to me Life is just a fantasy can you live a Fantasy Life So forget all that you see It's not reality ,it's just a fantasy Can't you see what this crazy life is doing to me Life is just a fantasy can you live a Fantasy Life
More "him" than "them" he was really a solo artist I think. He just hired various people to tour with and record albums since he played so many instruments himself and it was mostly different people for each album.
The guitar play , the drums , etc..... I was a teenager in the 80’s Graduated in 1988 For the music alone I wouldn’t trade it for anything !!!! We were so lucky to grow up in this era

@@darincampbell7247 man tou had to mention Def Leppard didnt you? I have worn out my old tape if Hysteria when i got it. The main song itself "Hysteria" to this day is one of my top Slow Dance songs ever.
@Harvey Weinsturd - Cool! Except my name is one "r" and not two! BTW- my mother got it from one of her favorite shows at the time- BEWITCHED! Thanks again! Peace.
Glenn Thomas , Joan Marie Larkin - Joan Jett I name my 66 Chevelle Super Sport Joan Jett Maneater by H & O Fantasy by Aldo Nova Listen to Fantasy ever since the day it came out and the rest of their songs
The first time I heard this song I was riding in a Buick Grand national Regal. The back seat with a banging system. Stoned out of my mind. Loving life. Damn those were the good old days.
Wow, riding in one of the baddest and fastest production cars of the 80's. And one of the coolest songs from the 80s and being stoned. You had to be on top of the world !! Thank you for sharing. I am jealous. Yes, Buick Grand National was probably the fastest domestic car in the 80's. Even when compared to equivalent yr Corvettes. Look it up ??
I remember listening to this in my friend Dobbs' old Chevy Nova, gold colored, 250 six cylinder, with aluminum slot wheels! No high speed hot rodding in that car, just leisurely A to B with loud music! He's about four years older than me, and I wasn't even old enough for my driver's permit yet! Man, I'd give my left nut to be able to go back!
Larry Sigers You got that right brother. I aint no crotchedy old man bitchin either ( even tho someday I might be). Nah, that music was simply......better.
My brother Aldo , played everything by himself ....I miss those days ..Regina Caporuscio Taylor , Aldo Nova was 1 guy , not a band , When he went on the road he had to get some musicians ....That 1st album was all Him...
@anita capilato Hands down. 1 of the best/most truly underr8d & innovative musicians ever. That's Aldo Nova in a nutshell. HE FUCKIN' ROCKS!!!!! BTW; I became ur 1st sub.
@@Aetranokband Especially Craig Chaquico. Although the word "underr8d" tends 2 b overused in some aspects, Chaquico clearly fits the EPITOME of underr8d.
Just shared this song with my 25 year old daughter. The expression on her face is priceless. She said “dad, you were cool. It took this song for her to finally realize that.
Hi everybody, how the hell are you doing.. You know when you bring everything right down to the basics and think about your lives....Life really is a Fantasy. Love you all.Aldo March 10th, 2017
Doing absolutely perfect me who is 47 years old and my mother who is 66 years old or sitting in my truck listening to you right now and remembering those memories
Aldo Nova Just wanna thank you for one of the greatest rock tunrs ever.Spent many a night road tripping with car full of friends and beer rockin to this bad ass tune.THANKS MAN.
Although I'm a Gen-Xer and like a lot of 80s music, I don't feel like, in comparison to the music of the 60's and 70's, that 80's music as a whole, "BETTER". Yeah, we had the hair metal bands like Bon Jovi and Motley Crue, and the obviously killer stuff...the Psychedelic Furs, Billy Idol, Dio, Bauhaus, Cindy Lauper (lol I like a WIDE variety of genres) and some decent "punk"; but with MTV taking the world by storm in 80-81, it suddenly became a LOT more about "The look" than ever before. And although it's always been a part of the mudic biz, the whole attitude of fashion over talent really started becoming the monster it is today.
Let me tell you about Aldo Nova you know that's bon Jovi's cousin he had a great song He's a great guitar player great studio musician also a great solo artist he hit it the right time with the right song but he never followed it up never forget him always love him my name is Kevin thanks
Well in 2021 you can catch some 80's band concerts. Def Leppard, Poison, Ozzy, End of the Kiss tour, Cheap Trick, and of course Metallica. See these bands before some of them go away. Some and yes even the immortal Ozzy are retiring, and for others something can go wrong, yes serious health problems.
Definitely speed ticket jam! Turned up too loud to hear the fuzz buster and the lights flashing from it feels like part of the music. Whoops ,reality strikes,too late to hit the brakes. It's happened to me just like that.💯
Me too bro... Most of my friends did in that era listened to Aldo Nova, Journey, Def Leppard... So, listening to this is very normal for me... Oh, yeah, Mike Reno too...
Damn right you do!! And, you'll rock out to this song when you're 61, 71, 81, and 91, and then you'll rock out to this song after you're dead--I know I will. LOL
Really? I don't remember seeing them on MTV. I was fifteen in 1985, which was back when MTV actually played music, not the culture-ruining propaganda they're always playing now. Poor kids these days ... they'l never even know about everything taken away from them...
my first concert was vanilla ice in 92 :( to be fair though you got one free ticket with the purchase of a large pizza from pizza delight and my aunt Barb managed a local pizza delight and got us all tickets, I was only 10 at the time, Aunt Barb really came through for the squad, she hooked it up in a big way.
My first concert was when I was 13! And yes I do remember who it was, Foreigner and Joe Walsh. Saw journey at 16 which was my 5th.. always missed Aldo Nova unfortunately, would've loved to see that show! ❤️ Love the 80s graduated in '87..
I was playing baseball in. Las cruces new mexico. When this song came out. Maagg park. Hardy.field. n apofaca park. Working. Onoin fields with my walk man. All summer fun. Miss the 80's
A hugely groundbreaking song. People don't realize/appreciate that in actual fact this is one of the handful of songs that really sparked MTV into life.
@@808burners8 I would actually say "You got another thing coming" where the guy's head blows off on the stairs of, like, a big oil reservoir, or whatever that was!! I don't so much remember the Breakin the Law video. But...that's just me...to each his own 🙂
There I am mopping the floor in my convenience store at 2:00am, listening to Aldo Nova, Billy Squier, and all the pop hits on late-night FM radio in 1982. I don't miss the mopping but Aldo made it go faster, let me tell ya.
Right on brother! While you was mopping up I was over at Winn Dixie stocking shelves with a good weed buzz and this song cranking through out the whole store! Life was so fun back then....I miss those days....
The guitar player (Kevin Carlson) was a friend from high school. We were in our first band together ('73- '74). Very talented musician and a really nice cat. His brother, Rich, is still playing and a great drummer. Sadly, Kevin passed away a few years ago from a brain tumor. And I'm still playing. Sometimes the universe doesn't make any sense at all.
Sorry to hear of the passing of your long time friend and amazing guitarist, Kevin. I'm sure you know how blessed you were to have had him in your life. Blessings and peace to you.
@@davidblanchard9506 for me it comes back at the strangest times. Are those maracas? Feels like my brain rattling in my head. Life was so much easier back then - I guess it was - ignorance IS bliss - maybe that's the fantasy - anything goes.
I wore out 2 cassettes blasting this album on my kick ass stereo in my 76 Camaro. Used to love full volume and wide open throttle up a curvy canyon road at night. The closer I pushed the envelope the better I felt afterwards. My hearing isn't very good now, but Rock was worth it!
P W OMG....exact same here...but I had a 77 Camaro,I play it every morning on the way to high school,I even drove around the parking lot twice before parking🤘
@@chartreuseaujus959 tough for Canadian bands with the US right there. However because of that we dont produce drivel...'cept maybe Bieber, but thats revenge
@@PrincessZelda_is_My_Side_Chick You mean to tell me out of all those great eighties songs that's the one you pick? That must have been the only album you owned🤣
I liked it better when it was called "Jane" by Jefferson Starship. Course Starship basically reworked "Hold The Line" by Toto for that cut. And if you go forward from "Fantasy" you have "Runaway" by Bon Jovi and "Fool's Game" by Michael Bolton. So, this chord progression did have a long run of success.
born in 1954....love it all. 40's swing,60's,70's,80's...prog rock 80's..90's ...BOWIE, YES, GENESIS.CREAM....nothing like garbage & rap crap of 2000's today!
I like any good music and I have to say, there hasn't been much good out there lately. Lana Del Ray, Hoozier, a few songs here and there by other bands.
I’m 65 and still listen and love it!!! Nothing compares these days!!!
I’m 63 I was 21 in the Army when this came out. Best time of my life

And can listen to this and all my favorite

City nights Summer Breeze makes you feel all right
Neon lights shining brightly make your brain ignite
See the girls with the dresses so tight
Give you love if the price is right
Black or white in the streets there's no wrong and no right , Nooooo
Outta Sight, buy your kicks from the man in the white
Feels Alright, powder pleasure in your nose tonight
See the men paint their faces and cry
Like some girls it makes you wonder why
City Life, sure it's cool but it Cuts Like a Knife, it's your life
So forget all that you see
It's not reality, it's just a fantasy
Can't you see what this crazy life is doing to me
Life is just a fantasy can you live a Fantasy Life
So forget all that you see
It's not reality ,it's just a fantasy

AWESOME!!
Holy f#%k that’s awesome!
The first time I heard this song I was riding in a Buick Grand national Regal. The back seat with a banging system. Stoned out of my mind. Loving life. Damn those were the good old days.
Wow, riding in one of the baddest and fastest production cars of the 80's. And one of the coolest songs from the 80s and being stoned. You had to be on top of the world !! Thank you for sharing. I am jealous.
Yes, Buick Grand National was probably the fastest domestic car in the 80's. Even when compared to equivalent yr Corvettes. Look it up ??
i was in a black nova in pittsburg ks, in the 80s, music this days suks lol

That is so funny
I remember listening to this in my friend Dobbs' old Chevy Nova, gold colored, 250 six cylinder, with aluminum slot wheels! No high speed hot rodding in that car, just leisurely A to B with loud music! He's about four years older than me, and I wasn't even old enough for my driver's permit yet! Man, I'd give my left nut to be able to go back!
I grew up in the 80s. There’s never been music that good and they never will be again.
As a freshman in high school in 1982 this was a big deal.
Love this track!

Larry Sigers You got that right brother. I aint no crotchedy old man bitchin either ( even tho someday I might be). Nah, that music was simply......better.

My 80's band wants to cover this great song. Is that all right with you Aldo?
Thank you for all the wonderful music and keep on rockin.
My friends love it whenever I "perform" this great song at a karaoke bar. Thank you for this song.
Had the best time of my life back in the 80's.
Agreed!
David Hawkins It was the best time...
David Hawkins I know right, I’d love to go back and live again
Me too,,,,
I'd like to go back to age 14 and start all over again.
80's definitely had the best music! I say we are not getting older just wiser😊
Were gettin better.😊
um, no. 60's and 70's both better.
Although I'm a Gen-Xer and like a lot of 80s music, I don't feel like, in comparison to the music of the 60's and 70's, that 80's music as a whole, "BETTER". Yeah, we had the hair metal bands like Bon Jovi and Motley Crue, and the obviously killer stuff...the Psychedelic Furs, Billy Idol, Dio, Bauhaus, Cindy Lauper (lol I like a WIDE variety of genres) and some decent "punk"; but with MTV taking the world by storm in 80-81, it suddenly became a LOT more about "The look" than ever before. And although it's always been a part of the mudic biz, the whole attitude of fashion over talent really started becoming the monster it is today.
It's a shame this music has come and gone just glad we can still listen to it, the new crap playing now is awful😢
And better
I saw Aldo Nova in 1982 with Cheap Trick and Saxon in Norman, Ok. I still have the ticket stub. Tickets were $10.00 and included .25 parking fee.
This song could be released today and be a hit. It kicks so much ass that it transcends the era in which it was created.
absoultly
a lost 80's hit.
A true rock star.
@@jazzsounds8159 more like a one-hit wonder.

Totally under appreciated rock song that perfectly describes the 80's and beyond.
This song is the epitome of the best of the 80s
@@PrincessZelda_is_My_Side_Chick That's not saying much. If that's the case then the 80's were truly god-awful.
if you want to be appreciated and highly rated, you have to keep producing hits, and lots of them. that's what all the great bands did.
Let me tell you about Aldo Nova you know that's bon Jovi's cousin he had a great song He's a great guitar player great studio musician also a great solo artist he hit it the right time with the right song but he never followed it up never forget him always love him my name is Kevin thanks

We used to blast this song in my friend's 65 Chevelle when we would go out cruising!
the 80's when music didn't suck ! miss those times ..
So I do
So do I mean
60s 70s ...
Um culture club .....?
Well in 2021 you can catch some 80's band concerts. Def Leppard, Poison, Ozzy, End of the Kiss tour, Cheap Trick, and of course Metallica. See these bands before some of them go away. Some and yes even the immortal Ozzy are retiring, and for others something can go wrong, yes serious health problems.
Another classic from when the "M" in MTV stood for music and not misery like it does today.
*💁🏻♀️i Agree with you 💯 % The 80’s were the Good ‘Ole days that i will always remember!* 🎤🎸💙
Exactly! MTV today is nothing but reality BS far from MTVs original intent.
The “M” stands for maternity now.

Dude you are spot on!!!😂
I want my MTV lol
That's right. Year, 1982, as seen on old school MTV. I was born in 1975 and like this song.
Oh if i had a time machine.... I would choose to relive the 80's all over again! BEST DECADE EVER!
U got that right! Epic times!
You're right in the 80s we had the best damn music
I'm 63 & this is still one of my go-to headphone songs when I really need to rock. It also makes me drive too fast, so there's that.
Hell yeah
Damn, I'm just pushing 56 and you make me feel hopeful! Haha! Got to love the music!
Drove it like I stole it!🤘🔥🎸
Definitely speed ticket jam! Turned up too loud to hear the fuzz buster and the lights flashing from it feels like part of the music. Whoops ,reality strikes,too late to hit the brakes. It's happened to me just like that.💯
I understand being 63 so am I. Love the good rock
born in 69.. soo glad i got to spend my youth in the 70's and 80's.. such awesome memories..
Me 2❤
I don’t care what anyone says, 80’s music was the best 🤘🏼
Yes, I agree--80's music was the best. The 90's? SUCKED!!!!
No music will ever be as good as the time of this kind of music! 80s music will always be the best
My friend we have roller skated many many miles to your song.
Sorry to hear that
Those were the good ol' days
Many miles. Least our parents let us skate while they got f up.
Good times!!

Also managed Bon Jovi for a period I believe
Really? I don't remember seeing them on MTV. I was fifteen in 1985, which was back when MTV actually played music, not the culture-ruining propaganda they're always playing now.

There I am mopping the floor in my convenience store at 2:00am, listening to Aldo Nova, Billy Squier, and all the pop hits on late-night FM radio in 1982. I don't miss the mopping but Aldo made it go faster, let me tell ya.
Right on brother! While you was mopping up I was over at Winn Dixie stocking shelves with a good weed buzz and this song cranking through out the whole store! Life was so fun back then....I miss those days....
Watch playing that Squier at 2.00 am in a convinience store, you might get laid. LOL
Fun fact: the most sampled artist is Billy Squire
The guitar player (Kevin Carlson) was a friend from high school. We were in our first band together ('73- '74). Very talented musician and a really nice cat. His brother, Rich, is still playing and a great drummer. Sadly, Kevin passed away a few years ago from a brain tumor. And I'm still playing. Sometimes the universe doesn't make any sense at all.
Its weird that I'm the FIRST to comment after your cool post!.. 🤟

Born in 1958. Been a guitarist for a while. Love this riff
I liked it better when it was called "Jane" by Jefferson Starship. Course Starship basically reworked "Hold The Line" by Toto for that cut. And if you go forward from "Fantasy" you have "Runaway" by Bon Jovi and "Fool's Game" by Michael Bolton. So, this chord progression did have a long run of success.
Guitars with lasers…. Legendary 🤟🏻
One of Montreal's finest. The melody and the keyboards helped make this a timeless classic now 42 years and aging well. Still have my 45.
Exactly ! Me too. I wore my 45 out, I later put it on to a cassette back then. 🤣🤣
Never a better genre of music nor a better decade for music. Some of the best years of my life❤
