@@terryborgwardt2422 Terry, I thought these were Toronto guys, but I do not effing care. I love these guys so much. Btw I use my government name too. Respect my friend
Several years ago, I was called out to do some work on an alarm system. I was shocked to see Myles opening the door at the house after I knocked. The repair took about 20 minutes. We talked and listened to music for several hours before I had to call it a day. Hell of a nice guy.
@@alanlarkin4766 you have no idea how awesome it was. I have been one of his biggest fan since the late 1970’s and here I am chatting with him on his couch and listening to records with him.
Even worse than that I used to love this song but forgot about it, might be cause almost every time I heard it back then I was smoking weed, but thank god for youtube I can still find these long lost gems. I bet I haven't heard it since the early '80s, I'm sorry ears
So many great classic rock tunes that are never played on so called classic rock stations. Seems like they have a play list of about 500 maybe a 1000 songs that get played over, and over and over and over again. Did I say over and over again? Great songs but come on. You figure if the window of classic rock is say 1964 to 1994 that's 30 years of music should we seriously be hearing the same songs repeatedly. Internet only radio stations seem to be the way to go but I seriously can't find a really good one. For oldies yes, but for classic rock not so much. Any suggestions?
@@brucetracy8456 that argument is a summary of my thoughts that is why I thank RU-vid. I have a massive CD and vinyl and yes...cassette collection but I always end up here.
Back in the day, I had a beautiful '73 Charger with four Jensen triaxles in the rear shelf, two Jensen co axials in the doors. A nice amp. I would open the trunk and the doors and crank this. Instant party.79-80 or so.
Yes those days were the best , cruising around and meeting up with all our friends and playing music from our car stereos, great memories for sure cheers .
I still have the original vinyl album 'Harder Faster' from '79, and it's in mint condition. Back in the day, we recorded from vinyl onto cassette so we could jam in our cars to our "Party Mix" tapes. This song still sounds awesome and brings back great memories.
Back in the early 70s when I started buying albums I would record them on cassette played one time still have plastic on them. I have some great albums.
The greatest Canadian band ever and the greatest lead vocalist ever. RIP my friend Miles Goodwyn. God bless you and you will be missed but never forgotten.
Agree great song and band from this era . We had the best music and the best bad ass cars and great memories back in the days lol but hey we can't tell everything from this time we have to let ppl imagine all lol cheers .
My MOM asked me in December 1979, I could pick out 2 albums for Christmas. I chose Molly Hatchet Flirtin with Disaster and HARDER FASTER. My friend had the record, and i loved every song on it. STILL enjoy it in 2023. Sad to hear Myles passed away this week . RIP Myles. Such a great catchy song.
One of Canada’s best bands-April Wine knew how to rock.Rip Miles,you were a giant among Canadian rockers.The 70’s and 80’s were much easier to handle with April Wine on the radio.
"Don't go livin in the past" - first words I hear as I cue this up to relive my youth. Prophetic. I was 10 and just discovering music when this came out. I sat glued to the radio waiting to hear it over and over again. Brings back good days back in my hometown of Ottawa.
Driving around the cruise in my 69 Camaro with April wine playing with my best friend Scott with his 65 mustang. He later went to Iraq, survived that and passed from cancer when he got home. Nothing more to say. Just my head hung low.
well said !! these guys were cutting their teeth on the High School circuit in Atlantic Canada back in the 70’s ..i’d say they did quite well for a bunch of Maritimers 👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦
Man I feel old! But when I listen to this I feel young as I was back when it came out and I was cruisin down the freeway in my White 78 Trans Am! It is a damn good song!
As we age along this life and our friends, family, icons, youth fade away and die...we must never let this amazing music and band get forgotten. Continue the journey...continue with April Wine when ever you can...loud and Canada Proud. The Great White North.
It is 1979, I am leaving soccer practice in my '71 Cutlass BLASTING this cassette in my Pioneer SuperTuner. The crisp air is blowing through the car. I am 17. Life is good. I have no problems AT ALL.
OMG!!! This takes me back to 1980, my senior year of HS. One of my best friends, had this cassette. Blew me away. What a wonderful time for music. April Wine was better than their fame ever achieved. And this song I could listen to for hours. A mix of rock, blues, even funk. Greatness!
randomly heard this on an unknown radio station that wasn't even coming in on the right frequency, instantly loved it, had to take down the lyrics to look it up. what a great hit!
First time I heard this, was walking up a hill in rural St. Ann, Jamaica. My neighbor had it blasting from his Lada. Seems he rode the rodeo circuit in Canada. He turned me on to April Wines extensive catalog. Criminally underrated band.
I worked on this drumbeat for over an hour when it came out. Got the band to play it once they heard me play the beat. Love this song.... and April Wine.
I love this song more than almost any other classic. My classics aficionados say it's not that great, especially for April Wine but to me it's pure genius and the best one by far. I agree with others here, it should be on the classics stations daily.
April Wine is by far the best Canadian, or should I say 'Scotian band. Period. I got way more chicks jamming this then to rush. April Wine attracts women rockers too. AND they're great musicians. No aspersions on rush. AW should be the Kings of the North. Ok rush fans come kill me now. Too late
Man my parents had it good as teens back in the 70's. To be 19 when this released, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to slide this in the cassette and let it blast! Rock on!
It was fkin awesome.I used to rock this stuff in my pinto with mindblower speakers.My hearing paid a nasty price though.I can still hear with hearing aids,thank god for that.Im 63 now and still rockin to April Wine.👍
One of the greatest rock bands ever, changed my life when I bought the First Glance album. Then they follow it up with Harder Faster, just a great band and criminally over looked here in the states
I remember this Album beeing my favorite when it comes out in Germany. Playing this stuff on your car cassette- player, max volume, was the best way to get a ticket for speeding.
Back in 1979 I worked at KFC in Dinuba California I was 15 years old worked along some of my Buddies and Brothers We had the time of our life working We were from Kingsburg California We would Cruise to and from work listening to this Album a lot April Wine is so Bad A the album never got old even today it is awesome Paul Chavez WSS love all those who crew up with me and m!y family 8 Brothers I think of my peeps all the time some are gone may God Bless them
OMG. Grade 10. Being a good girl was in the process of saving my life, but my favourite part of the afternoon was still heading down to the back parking lot at school where all the class skippers & lunch hour smokers leaned on their cars, windows down, & cranked the tunes. They capitalized every letter in the word TROUBLE, lol. Mad respect to all the wild child teenagers who made that time in my life so exhilarating. Glorious times, glorious music. In my emotional memory this song came out right around the time Supertramp detonated Breakfast in America, but there was also that brilliant river of Canadian music bursting thru the radio.This song. Max Webster's 'Diamonds Diamonds' & "Let Go The Line'... Ian Thomas' "Pilot"--remember that one? "Wondering Where The Lions Are' which was the path I followed to Neil Young & Joni Mitchell....
Small college in Davenport, Iowa. 1981. Heard "I Like to Rock" before but discovered so many more jems like this one. "Tellin' Me Lies' also a great, and who could forget "She's a Roller" which has a bridge guitar frenzy that seems longer than both the beginning and the end of the song. What. A. BAND
