Lyrics:
City nights, summer breeze makes you feel alright
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, no
Outta site, 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 girl it makes you wonder why
City life, sure is cool but it cuts like a knife, it's your life
So forget all thatyou see
It's not reality
It's just a fantasy
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.
Oh hell yeah!!
Cocaine is a helluva drug
Great song! Crazy video😅
its a shag cut not a mullet
Hated it then love it now
Helicopters.....leopard print leisure suit..... guitar shooting laser beams.
So 80s , so good.
Rock on , Aldo.
I want to show up at the next blues jam in that leopard suit. LOL
Breaking down the door with a guitar. Just as it should be!
Video is classic 80s
When this song came out,we went nuts, great dam song in2023
yo recien me entere de este tema aya por el 2008 🤟
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.
you gotta add the 60s. Graduated in 72.
@@hannesstuber222 The Beatles SUCKED
I finished high school in 84 then I joined the army and went overseas 85-89
82 here as well.
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’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
51 !
57 😂
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 !!!
TAYLOR SWIFFFFT!
This just came on and I can't believe how loud I turned it up. I'm 52 years old and just blasted my entire street...YES!
Hello Devin
He'll yeah, I'm 52...crank it loud dude!!!....
@@jamesm.1467 I'm a chic, but yeah!!!
@@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.....🤘🤘
I'll be 52 this year- crank that shit!
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.
My granddaughter absolutely loves this stuff. Gen x ruled!
Lol
So so true! Lol@@derrickmartin8390
@@derrickmartin8390so well said!
We were cool.
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.
U are so right
Great time to be young!
Me neither. I'm four years older that you but would never want to be in a younger generation today. Like you, I'm glad I lived thru it too.
I was born in 1972. 80’s -90’s was the best. Minus the grunge movement
Agree
As a teenager in the 80's, we were living in a FANTASY!!!!
Sorry you guys missed it. It was EPIC!!!!!
YES IT WAS:) 😊
The decade of excess!
Thanks for the polluted world, but at least the music is still around.
America's golden years
HAHA..I'm 54 now and my teenage years were pretty damn amazing back then too!
Who else is going through all their classic jams thinking about how life was back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one✌🏼️
You are definitely not the only One
I grew up in the 80's...Best times ever!!! I was 15 in 1983...
Missing the 80's bad today!
Not the only one.
@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.
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 80's with all those classic movies and songs YOU were blessed, a golden era that will never be repeated!
I was born in 90, but my Pop was born in 54 and guess what? I know alllll the good tunes thanks to him 😉
I'm a 1955 model and yeah, we got hear ALL the great music.
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
@@jimthomas1989 They really nailed life on the streets and or trying to be in the entertainment business with those lyrics.
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.
Love this song. I'm 52 years old. Now and this is still a classic
I'm 56 man! Still rocking it to it. Our music was the best!
57 here. When you consider the music they have in the 90s 2000 2010 and now. I wouldn't change the music I grew up on for the world.
Still a classic ? Lol
That is the thing about a classic....They don't become less of a classic with age and time...lol
51 here. You need to go check out the 2021 version. He has aged phenomenally well, it's crazy.
❤ I bought this 45 and was born in the summer of love ❤ August 20th 67 same birthday as Robert plant
MY FANTASY IS TO RETURN TO THE 80”S
WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL !
AMEN!! 🎵🎶🎵
60,s & 70,s
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
Yes we were!!!! I graduated in 1988 too!!! Chippewa Valley HS in Clinton Twp Michigan about 40 miles east of Detroit!!

Sorry KL, the mid 60’s to mid 70’s were the best music years. It’s already been voted on at the R&R hall of fame.

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!!!
@@dukecraig2402 Makes no sense why the Doobie Brothers are not in there or Ted Nugent for that matter!
Compare this to the garbage today. The 80s rocked!
Yes, today's music is crap. The 80's ROCKED.
you're damn right the 80s rock ...I'm 60 years old and I'm Still rocking to this s***
Absolutely
Yes the 80s still rule
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!
I'm black and I had the album when it came out! I thought that Aldo was so cool. He was the shit! I used to blast the album and shook all my bedroom windows. Those were the great ole' days. Great album indeed!
You silly black man and your rocking tunes.
Least you know good music when you hear it brother!
@@kevynhansyn2902 - Thanks! BTW- Def Leppard is my favorite band, ever since I first heard PHOTOGRAPH! Peace and keep rocking. I know I will!
@@darincampbell7247 man tou had to mention Def Leppard didnt you?

Who is listening in 2021 . Great 80’s Classic.
Dam we are getting old.
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
Yeah we are.
No we be getting better!
@George Harley Rider I am listening 😃 I'm 45 years old
San Anto, Texas!! WESTWOOD PARK "88". Puro ROCK! 🎸 🤘 🥌 👩🎤
CONVENTIONS CENTER ARENA. where you really did FEEL THE MAGIC! The power, the glory. Concert Summer of 83" Queensryche, Quiet Riot, Iron Madden..
💥 "Ijo esu madre,💫
It started historically as they all came to meet us!
These bands loved us💞✊ They really did. We always gave them what they hadn't expected....at first. After they would come back to rock for us, they already knew what to expect!! They GOT IT!!
I went to every single one of the Rock concerts that came to San Antonio after that for seven consecutive years even when they started to come to Sunken Gardens because they were destroying our Conventions Center Arena. It was so worth it All. I live by those unforgettable moments and memories now. What a performance we gave them right back. They loved it!!⚡⚡⚡🌟
Ask em!!?😃🤩😉💞💯🤘🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤘🌺🌿
When this song hit MTV, there was no video cooler... That bass line was groovin' and Aldo was killing it...🤘🏿✊🏿💥
Dude you are spot on!!!😂
I want my MTV lol
Who’s still listening to this during Corona Virus in 2020? 40 years later and this song still rocks!
I might be going crazy but I think Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory theme song came from this song.
Surprisingly, young Putin appears in the first frame of the video.)))))
I'm air drumming the hell out of this song.
@@thomasallen4340
Cool
Yes 40 years later and think the guy in the leopard jumpsuit is hot. Life is just a fantasy. 2020 😋🐆💋
I miss those days so much. It was a great time to be alive
It was and I didn’t even know it then.
It's always a good time to be alive
Yes!🙌🏻
@@EGrandRiverLLC not like the 80’s. You obviously don’t get it.
Exactly. Many of us wish we could go back in time to those days when music and life was so much simpler.
Proof that good music never gets old
I fought high and hard....and this was my junior prom theme!
Agree Boris. I am 52 and still love this song!
Proof that over 50 is really "the new" over 30!!! Our kids better be ready for some damn cool senior parents!
His dancing never gets old!!!
Timeless 🤙
63 and still rocking in 2024
I'll be 68 June 29 ,2024 nothing past the 80's is played in my home ❤

39 years later. Still makes me crank it up every time I hear it! Love it!
EVERY TIME. There is no other way!
That’s because we know music
Such an A league song....
Hell yes.
Fk yeah Everytime !
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.
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 yep. A one hit wonder that was a rip off of Jefferson Starship’s “Jane”.
Nothing will compare to the 70's or 80s . Their is no more good rock,it's gone hang on to what their is ,I'm 64 and still love it immensely.9:15am
Greta Van Fleet to the rescue!
One of the most GREATEST HITS! Not enough credit for this one.
@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.
All credit needs to be redirected to Jefferson Starship
@@Aetranokband Especially Craig Chaquico. Although the word "underr8d" tends 2 b overused in some aspects, Chaquico clearly fits the EPITOME of underr8d.

Hi I Recommend a song and video Called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
As a freshman in high school in 1982 this was a big deal.
Love this track!

Great decade for a social life!
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
I was born 1965 and STILL JAMMIN to the classics! Best time to be alive🎉❤
66 baby here❤
😊me too
@officialaldonova you too 67 here
66 here and this was one of my favorite jams
55 here
Have to admit that I probably haven’t heard or thought about this song in over 30 years. Brings back memories of better times - great song.
*40 years you goob
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
78 Rally sport Camaro coming home from a pickup game of football
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!
How many 80's ppl r freaking loving hearing this song again??
Yup
Me!
@Nathan Hale she’s was a dog. Are you sure your real last name isn’t “Gale”?
Great guitar riffs - like the leopard suite too! I want one for my birthday!
Absolutely !!
I am 59 still listening in February 29,2024 awsome to this day ❤❤❤
I'm 55 and still jamming March 20th 2024.
70 and still like it.....
I'm not far behind you--57 years old here, and yes, awesome to this day!
Was revisiting some 80's Canadian rockers, and this came up. 58 y.o. June 3rd, 2024. Now if you'll excuse me, still have some Bryan Adams to get to.😂
It's a kickass song for sure!
Aldo Nova is a beast. Not only is he a good lead singer, he is also a damn good lead guitarist. This is one of the first videos on MTV.
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.
Poor kids these days ... they'l never even know about everything taken away from them...

I can remember seeing my very first MTV video back in the 80's. It was Dio Rainbow In The Dark.
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
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.
💯‼️

and Btreaking the Law by Judas priest
@@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 🙂

Born in the 60’s raised in the 70’s partied in the 80’s. Best times of my life!
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
The dead daisies
This song is simply THE anthem for the 1980's. This is one of the first songs I think of when dreaming of those days.
Thank u
So TRUE
Yup! This and blue oyster cults burning for you ❤️
Me too!
It is an all time A league song
The year was 1981 ~ early MTV ~ this was one of the first videos I remember watching ~ it was in heavy rotation on a daily basis ~ everyday I'd come home from high school around 3:45 pm and turn on the TV and Voila' ~ there would be Aldo Nova in all his glory in that leopard print suit making quite an entrance with his laser shooting guitar ~ love this video!!
Bryan Bell ~ there's many gr8 videos from that gr8 era ~ the 80's!!
Bryan Bell ~ I agree with you ~ and I'm glad we have UA-cam so that we can go 'back in time' and 're-live' that era! : )
Bryan Bell ~ Music has always been an escape for me ~ music has soothed my soul when times have been difficult and when I'm feeling ecstatic, it just intensifies those emotions ~ it all depends on your mood and the songs that resonate with them. : )
Bryan Bell ~ Thanks ~ I do love music!! I have worked on building my playlists for several years and Yes, music works wonders on stress!! Take care as well b2!!
82sweetheart I always thought this video was from 1981... the debut year of MTV, and the music video(Buggles, Video killed the Radio Star). I was in junior high school, 7th grade, and used to see this video, along with Adam and the Ants, Genesis, Loverboy, Journey, Rolling Stones, Judas Priest, etc.
Like, I thought, this video was from 1981... but WHY is there a 1982 Pontiac J2000(Sunbird) in the video?? The 1st year for the GM, fwd J-cars was 1982(Chevy Cavalier, Pontiac J2000, Olds Firenza, Buick Skyhawk and Cadillac Cimarron), and it shows the pimp and the hookers, sitting on top of and next to a 1982 Pontiac J2000.
Unless, it was an early 1981 production model, and Pontiac just wanted to show it in a video, to the young impressionable teen viewers, who were getting their licenses at the time. Who knows? lol
Saw these guys open up for scorpions and great white. Great concert.
Still rocks! Saw them live at the Rose Bowl with Triumph, BOC and Journey! Heck of a 1st concert!!
Yep! I was there too! Fantastic music 🎶
wow that would have been an awesome show love all those bands
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.
That's freaking awesome!
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..
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
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.
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.
Who's here in 2024! Did we know we were in the golden age back then? I don't think we realized it. I think we thought it would never end.
Just introduced my granddaughter to this. She asked what my favorite songs to drive to are and here we are.
Yeah and the dreaded Disco music...Glad it ended...
❤
im here 👍👍👍
Now I think about the talent we had back then, Randy Rhoades, Eddie, Rush,VH, Twisted sister,Dio, the 80s was awesome!
When a guy steps out of a chopper with a leopard jumpsuit you know shit just got real...

I know right...he actually wears it well, looking at his body movement while singing!! Great artist.🐆🐆
AAnd it is followed by the awesome guitar riff....But, it makes me wonder where's the eye patch!?
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!.. 🤟
Sincere condolences to you John on the passing of your friend. I wish you peace ❤️
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.
I took guitar lessons from Kevin in Fremont. Aleggro music, The Toys. Memories. Sorry about his passing.
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.

Larry Sigers Amen to that! I wish we could go back to this era!
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.
And if there was a time machine I'd be going back..damn miss those days and the music! Growing up in the 80's was the best!
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...
Flashback to the best years ever.
I miss growing up in the 80s.
80's were kind of terrible in school. But we could go home and turn up the albums to forget the bad days\

Best time to be alive,things were exciting, optimism of the future.
Great decade great times great music great friends !!!! Just a awesome time too be alive going from kids to adulthood undescribable!!!!!!
im not from the 80s, i was born in 2003 but I love this era of music, class, fashion all of it. Me and my dad always watch 80s movies and listen to the songs together, we love it.!!!Such a great time of relism
I hardly hear the car radio anymore but this song came on today and I totally forgot about it. The guitar riff is iconic! A true classic rock masterpiece.
Back when MTV actually still played videos and rock was king.
Rock on Aldo!
Badass! Classic! The 80's were the best times of my life. Who wants to enter the time warp with me and go back?
Ok, summer of 1984, June preferably 😊
Not me 2019 is the best time of my life. Only thing great about the 80's is the music.
Time warp twosome sounds appropriate, 80s are undeniably the best rock .
Uncomparable ; the 80s were the best .
I thank my lucky stars for having been able to partake.
Let's go I'll drive 1987
MTV made these songs so visual and etched in our brains....that's why we'll always remember them❤
That helped but itll be remembered mainly because the music was so good
@@bogus696996 No; it was GR8!!!!
@@billybandyk0720 you are right. I stand corrected!
@@bogus696996 U betcha. Again; if it wasn't 4 fellow Canadian Ian Thomas, Aldo Nova would nvr been recognized in the USA (courtesy of PAYOLA).
Head bangers Ball was always good with Adam
Graduated in 85. All four of my kids think the music of our era 60’s-80’s is by far the best and listen to it preferentially.
There's no better music than the 89s rock. I graduated high school in 85. Best time to grow up.
Agreed! I graduated HS in '86!
Saturday night at the roller rink! I always requested this song! Great music, times, and memories.
From Jacksonville fla Monday nights .50cent sat night rope the back off miss all of it the best times
Looks like we are one
Marry me.
Oh those skating rink days ... what incredible memories I have of those days.. absolutely love them
YES! They played it-82-83-it was a big radio hit!
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 relive the 80’s all the time
one of the most under-rated bands of all time.
Except it was just one person
“Under-rated” One of the most over-used phrases in the comment sections. 😂
@@moremoney2 who cares, get the fuck over it
@@indianathiessenone person named Aldo Nova but the band “Aldo Nova” had more than one person.
Wow UA-cam just deleted this whole thread. What else do you have to hide?
In a world that’s seemingly gone mad it’s fun songs like this that help me remember better times.
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🤘
My son is 10 and lives this song 🤘🤘
and now you became a flamin`homosexual! 🤣🤣🤣
*WHAT* I'll probably lose my hearing too 😎
B Adams songs that elicit that response don’t exist anymore. Like back in black.
Welcome to the jungle.
I could name a hundred.
Can we all have a festival? Nothing will ever compare. 2024.
One of the best guitar solos ever
I totally agree! 👍🏻
Who STILL thinks this rocks as hard in 2022 as it did in 1982??
i do, dont make music like this anymore.
\m/. \m/ . Rock on Dude! I'm 47 . I just got this on 45.
@@elderherrera2238 That's awesome. I have a few old 45's. Magic!!
For damn sure
Me but with a natural high 😁
Never a better genre of music nor a better decade for music. Some of the best years of my life❤
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!
He only had one hit, this was it and it was a big one. I was 14 when this dropped during the summer heading into my freshman year of HS in 1982. What a great time to be young for the best decade of music of all time to arrive, and it was just getting started when Fantasy dropped🎶🎸🎤👍🏾.
One of the greatest underrated Italian Canadian hard rock guitarist of all time!
Agree !!!
Frank Marino
The keyboards on this song are second to none. One of the best songs ever.
If there was one song to describe the 80s, this would be my choice.
You don't get out much do you

Wouldn't trade those days for anything. Great memories!
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.
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!!
Me too...loved it :)
When he laser beamed the door with his guitar we thought it was the shit. To be 17 again and just know joy and good times.
~~`OCTOBER 2023~~ STILL LOVING TO LISTEN TO SOME FANTASY :) THANKS ALDO NOVA!!
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. 🤣🤣
I'm 51 and still rock out to this song big time
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...
Me three.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
54 here, and the same...
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
me too
First stage of manhood reached in '82: first cig, first beer, makings of a peach-fuzz moustache. Next year was phase two: GIRLZZZ, comb in back pocket, digital watch, jean jacket, Cougar shoes, hair blown dry and parted in the middle, video games, Dairy Queen and INDOOR ROLLER SKATING!!! Best days of my youth... LL
LANKY LANKSTER i hear ya bro. we grew up same exact time. im from boston but no matter every city the same
@Michael Myers Yes, Mr. Myers. I was but a teen by the time this track was spinning round by radio. How 'bout you? Were you wearing corduroys and blow drying your hair down the middle while this song was blowing away the masses?
@Michael Myers Woo hoo! Weren't those times the best?! I play top rock songs from 1981 often via UA-cam to keep me awake during 'working' hours. Long live indoor arena rollerskating and/or playing Space Invaders to the thunderous sound of Macho Man/Village People once all the 'originality' of this world as we know it has run out! Cheers, LL.
@Michael Myers I hear 'ya 'bout NO MORE HAIR! LOL! Cheers, LL.
@LL (and Richard and Michael): Shoot, you guys crack me up with your spot on descriptions...we are definitely bro's at heart. Richard, you grew up in Boston and said "no matter the city, it was the same". Totally agree! I grew up in an small Idaho town and yet it was probably the same as Boston. LL, starting in 6th grade, hanging out at the indoor roller skating rink playing Space Invaders was the pastime of choice, with the apex coming in '82 with the arrival of Fantasy. Good times! It was 8th grade and I was 14. Shortly after Fantasy hit the radio waves, me and some buddies traveled to the "big" city 30 miles away (pop. 40,000) for a regional church dance. Not long after walking in, the DJ puts on Fantasy. It was only about the 3rd or 4th time I'd ever heard it, but like any dude of the time we all loved it after the first time. There was no song as killer as Fantasy at that time--it was completely mind blowing. Anyway, I walked around to the opposite side of the gym so I could stand right below those massive speakers to get the full effect of having my hair pulse past my ears with each pounding beat of the woofers right behind my head. I also probably lost 10% of my hearing that night. Never will forget that classic 80's memory! Every time I hear Fantasy, that memory is re-lived. You guys joked about not having your hair anymore...fortunately I still have mine, but it admittedly is 90% gray! Rock on bros!
You know when a guy arrives in a helicopter, wearing a spandex leopard jumpsuit, the shit just got real.
City life
Sure is cool
But cuts like knife
Can you live this Fantasy Life
Especially when he started shooting lasers out of that guitar.
Why don’t they play this song on the radio anymore? This would be great in soooo many commercials too. A true classic song that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Exactly! All the "classic rock" stations are missing the boat on this one!
so fuckin glad they don't -- too good to be over saturated in the main stream just be glad you ever heard it and leave it at that
rap crap, mad donna, and all the crappy junk took over the cool waves, ban todays music, bring back the 80's music, in my car i blast 1980s music, eather, punk/metal/goth/new wave, etc, not rap crap,.....marius(punk rules), i take over from john peel, where he left off i bring his legend on again .
I just heard this song on the classic rock radio and that’s why I’m here.
Actually there's 2 radio stations that play it at least once a day. I have the radio on at work for 12 hours/day all week long
Man...played the absolute hell out of this cassette back in the day...Aldo Novas debut was really quite good...circa 1982 think it was...
yes, Fantasy was our 82 grad song and the first release off his first album, pretty sure the album was released in 81
.. get rocked, very funny bro. love this song. classic 80's.
yeah me too i think i still have that cassette somewhere lol
Guys don't be mean.. Reccomend me more,good artists like this guy, where you can totally feel the magic and energy. Give me song names, bands etc.. Try not to give me overly popular bands like bon jovi, kiss, Europe, poison, motley crüe, guns n roses, etc. Ya get my point. I mean, I didn't know this song until about 2 months ago, if it wasn't for an excellent rocker friend. Otherwise, I really don't know where else to look for good artists from the golden era of music. Thanks for your attention.
saxon, accept, armored saint, Icon, riot without the quite on it. dig deep my friend and you will find
No blow was wasted in the making of this vid.

Feels alright, powder pleasure in your nose tonight.
@@ronnimerwede3087 🙈🙈🙈🙉🙉🙉🙉
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.
One of the best one-person bands of all-time. Damn I miss the 80s!
I sure hope Heaven has an 80's section where I can relive them!
Haha yes!
@skuggkungen that doesnt answer the question haha
@skuggkungen I guess it wasnt a question anyways I dont even believe in a god
@skuggkungen so where did god come from huh? Tell me out of all the gods out there what makes you think you picked the right one?
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
I give credit to all the bands who made the first music videos. Quite a leap of faith. And damn! The music back then was all groundbreaking.
You're right in the 80s we had the best damn music
*THIS HAS ONE OF THE BEST 'INTROS' (from start to when vocals start) OF ANY ROCK SONG ...EVER!*
🎵🎶💿🎸
Sounds a lot like the intro to Children of the Sun, both great songs.
Andy Roid I have to agree. The sound of the intro off a vinyl lp with the volume turned up is otherworldly. Sadly,
this early 80’s video does it little justice.
No
I bought the album when it came out. Some of my buddies didn't like it but I always dug Aldo. He plays everything. Very under rated
The 1st time I smoked weed my friend put this on, life has been quite the fantasy since
😂 that sounds awesome
I remember when I first saw this video on mtv back in 80’s song kicked ass still does
Gotta love a guy who makes an entrance via helicopter wearing a leopard leotard. Oh, yeah!
That's when MTV was great! Now, I don't even know if it's still a channel. Rap ruined MTV along with those stupid shows.
@@TheMom2three I agree totally on everything you said. I went to the Connecticut men’s club in 1988 and got out in 1999. When I watched MTV again the whole channel was like BET. No offense to anyone but it’s like mtv only favored hip hop and R&B no rock at all.
Back when MTV and cable tv were the trending things!
***** Then, after Atari, was Intellivision(Mattel) in 1981/82... then Colecovision in 1983, which introduced the world, to Donkey Kong and Mario. lol
Look at the energy and ❤️ the lead singer puts into forcing you to believe the story he is telling.
Just Beautiful!!!!!
Mullets forever
It's been probably 20 years or so since I've heard this song
One of my favorite from back then
I know. I forgot about this song. Used to love it. Still do!
@@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.

That’s nice ❤
Really getting old and still like it.
Why the hell would anyone give a thumbs down to this classic. I've rocked out to this for 40 years.
Cuz they don't know good shit n good times with this music. Ha
Jealousy...
I'm 12 years old and listen to music like this nonstop, I wish making good music was still a thing, I think our generation really missed out!
@Vanessa, you are wise well beyond your years. Back then music was real and the artists were actually talented. Both quite rare now.
Younger people do make good guitar based music, you just have to look harder. The band Alien Weaponry is an amazing band from New Zealand, has played at the largest Rock/Metal festival in the world and the oldest one in the band is maybe 23
