Hey is your buddy Mr Video in Cali now? Anywhere near you? Would be great to see you 2 react to something together like 1 reaction on your channel and 1 on his. ~Be Blessed
Oi mate, can I introduce you to some Retrowave music genre? It's 80s style music being made now and it's AMAZING. I would love to see you react to some of it and I'm sure you'll vibe with it. We both have similar interests in music and I'm positive you'll enjoy it... dood!
Jamel - you must check out this guy out and read his back story. He’s a solo guitarist street performer from Vancouver. You will be blown away. His Utube channel is “ shantnershairpiece”. MUST WATCH & REACT TO HIS RENDITION OF PULP FICTION FROM 3/6/21.
Where my fellow Canadians at??? Very surprised to see this. It’s not the typical band or song that gets reacted to. Props to you for taking a chance on them. 👍✌️
80s Canadian rock and pop was made of awesome! Glass Tiger, Platinum Blonde, Haywire, Honeymoon Suite, and so many more, that barely made a dent in the US, unlike Corey Hart, but man, some great songs.
Honeymoon Suite won a radio station contest in Toronto to earn a recording contract with an early version of this song. The opening line of this song was originally "Cold Winter's Night" but was changed to "Hot Sumner Night" for a late spring release. They had several really great albums in the early to mid 80s. Still gets regular airplay on Toronto classic rock stations. Thanks for the great Canadian content, Jamel!
These guys had a few top 40 Billboard hits and atleast 10 big hits in Canada. They put on a good show. April Wine, Northern Pikes , Grapes of Wrath, Tragically Hip, Streetheart, Harlequin, Prism and Sloan are a few underrated Canadian bands you should react too. "Romantic Traffic" by the Spoons is a song I think you'd like. You'll find yourself singing along to this tune, it's pretty catchy.
Hey Jamel! Glad to hear you are back to some Canadian Rock. Here are some Honeymoon Suite MUSTS! Burning In Love, Feel It Again, All Along You Knew, Love Changes Everything, What Does It Take
Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod I love them. Always have always will. ❤ 🇨🇦 The Burning in Love video was shot at Niagara Falls (Canada) which is where they are from.
MTV made them record a new music video for "I'm an Adult Now" because they didn't think the original would appeal to a US audience. Original video: Classic. MTV version: Crap. The US also managed to pretty much waste J D Roberts.
THE FIRST CONCERT I WENT TO WAS TED NUGENT AND HONEYMOON SUITE OPENED GREAT SHOW---- ALSO REMEMBER YOU HAD TO ANSWER THE PHONE TO SEE WHO WAS CALLING AND THE 100 FT. CORDS TO WALK ALL OVER THE HOUSE
@@gordstart1773 it was funny when I went to the Ted Nugent concert and they opened I didn't know any of their songs before I got there but after seeing them play I could probably count a half a dozen songs that I knew I just never knew they played them makes me want to go back and revisit them again
I'd give David Wilcox a try. "That Hypnotizin’ Boogie", the studio version. I guarantee your toes will be tapping. In fact it's impossible not to tap your feet to this one. Great voice and great outside guitar solo. The studio version is a great place to start.
Jamel...how about some Kim Mitchell. He used to front a band called Max Webster...and they did a LOT of work with Rush...including a song the bands did TOGETHER, called Battlescar! Geddy Lee has some GREAT vocals on that track. You won't be disappointed. Max (and Kim Mitchell) had a huge following here in Great White North.
If you want something fun to react to, try some David Wilcox. "Do the Bear Cat" "Riverboat Fantasy" "Bad Apple", "That Hypnotizing Boogie" or "Laying Pipe". You won't be disappointed.
Great Canadian band from Niagara Falls Ontario Canada.. There for the name " Honeymoon Suite "... Won a radio contest from Q107 for The Battle Of The Bands back in the 80's in Toronto.. Grand prize was recording a contract..
Hi! I just found your channel last weekend and I must say that you've listened to some of my all-time favourite songs. I am LOVING the Canadian content, too. You must have a lot of Canadian watchers. :) I finally saw these guys a few years ago when they opened for Foreigner.
If you like this Canadian group, they also had “Stay In the Light”, that was another good one! While you’re on Canadians, check out some Prism, Trooper, Chilliwack, Wonderful Grand Band, and Streetheart.
Always thought this band had a chance at being in the top tier but they just couldn't quite make it. How about trying the band, "The Hooters" -their songs "And We Danced", "500 Miles" and especially "All You Zombies" & even more. Pretty decent band.
You should check out some of their other songs, too: Lethal Weapon (from the movie of same name), Wave Babies, Bad Attitude, What Does It Take, Stay In The Light, Feel It Again, Love Changes Everything, Looking Out For Number One, Burning In Love, Still Lovin' You (not a Scorpion cover just same title) Canadian band I grew up listening to. My Aunt saw them play in a dive bar before they got big (relatively speaking, lol). ~FM :)
This brings back so many high school memories! Another song you should hear from the same era, also by a Canadian rocker, is “It’s Only Love” by Bryan Adams and Tina Turner. It is 🔥🔥🔥!
Haven't heard this song in ages. Thanks! I needed this. :) If it hasn't already been mentioned, he's saying "she's a lot like you," *not* "she looks like you."
Heck yes, we are still here! YOU keep us going!!! Such a great song! Ohh.. the memories.. sitting in a friend’s room (converted attic, complete with carpeting that was created from the 12x12 free samples, jamming until curfew - okay, after curfew, if truth be told).
The line is "and she's a lot like you", and I always interpreted it as meaning that after he got to know the new girlfriend, she ended up having the same bad attitude and behaviors as the old one. I remember my parents having a phone mounted IN the wall with a 20 foot coiled cord between it and the handset. And everyone would plow thru everybody else trying to answer the phone before the 2nd ring. Now, you HAVE to look at the caller ID before deciding if you even want to answer!
I'd never heard this song on the radio, but was introduced to it by this covers band called Harlequin who used to come up to my area of the state from a distance away in the late 80's. The band was fantastic and this was one of my favorites they did. This song takes me back to those days -- they were SO much fun! I got the album and a friend (who introduced me to Harlequin) and I would play this album a lot as we drove around. Good times.
I remember first hearing/seeing these guys at the Welland House Hotel in St. Catharines, Ontario (10 miles from Niagara Falls) in 1982. Had to use a fake ID to get in, as I was underage. Being from the Niagara Region, HS were hometown heroes for us. Derry Grehan, guitarist, was 3 years ahead of me at the same high school. Great band that never forgot their roots. 😏🇨🇦
I am from the same area as these guys, so imagine how shocked I am right now to see you react to this. Not only did my former band open up for them at a local festival some years ago, but you paused the video at the exact moment a friend of my father's is front and centre in the crowd. So cool, man. If you wish to continue your journey into mid-80's Canadian rock anthems, Patio Lanterns by Kim Mitchell is a must. :)
Honeymoon Suite got their start when they entered Ontario's premier rock radio station Q107's Homegrown contest in Toronto. They won! They have had some of the music featured in major motion pictures most notably Lethal Weapon
One story that always brings a chuckle to people from my home town: Aylmer, population of about 5,000, has a fair every year. One year Honeymoon Suite was hired to play. Maybe 2 weeks prior to the day of that concert, they got a big record contract and "New Girl Now" was getting a lot of radio play. And, man, they did NOT want to come to a town of 5,000 to play at their little fair. But they were contractually obligated. So here was this band that had made it big stuck playing at a dinky local fair. Probably their biggest claim to fame was doing the theme song for Lethal Weapon. They seemed to largely fade away after that. Probably have been living off the royalties from the movie soundtrack. Back in the day I kind of liked them, particularly the song "Burning in Love".
I saw Honeymoon Suite and Loverboy together in a small town in Quebec at an amusement park 15 years ago. It was like going back in time. They sounded exactly the same as in the 80's and they totally rocked. The Loverboy guitarist Paul Dean is great too.
Honeymoon Suite! Yes! Reminds me of a trip to Canada a decade ago. 'Feel It Again' came on the radio while driving from Montreal to Ottawa, and its a song that ticks all my boxes. Never heard them played, or even mentioned, outside of Canada.
Good ol Canadian boys. Vastly underrated band. Loved them in my early teens and still love their tunes today. Thanks for doing this reaction! They have tons of great tunes if you want a deep dive. Cheers!
What a throwback! Was lucky enough to see HS perform in Toronto at the Taste of the Danforth festival a number of years ago. They can still rock out!!! Edit; Def check out Bad Attitude and Feel it Again by HS!
Sorry if this ends up posted twice. Couple other good songs from the same time in Canada. Streetheart - What Kind of Love Is This. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_mnk06zO6CY.html Orphan - Miracle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Uef07hg-gU.html Plenty I'm seeing so many in the comments too. Additional: The Pursuit of Happiness - Cigarette Dangles The Tea Party - The Grand Bazaar or Sister Awake So nostalgic. Thanks for the memories!!
I grew up and live in Western NY. I grew up listening to US and Canadian music. Back in the 80's Canada had its own music market mostly separate from ours but not entirely. I was blessed to be able to experience a lot of Canadian music as it is different. There was some outstanding bands and music from Canada back in the 80's and 90's. I encourage you to experience some of them when you can.
Wow, I used to LOVE this song as a kid! It was my favorite for months. Might even be the thing that ignited my love of hard rock/metal. Thanks for taking me back, and I do remember phone calls like that! 😂
Awesome tune!! Honeymood Suite - pride of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada! So many great songs to hit up with these guys. Burning In Love, Stay In The Light, Wave Babies, What Does It Take, Feel It Again... in that order. Just some good ole fun 80's rock! Bring it on!
Honeymoon Suite were the first famous people I met. I was probably about 13 when they were touring with across Canada with Platinum Blonde. They even preformed the title track for the first Lethal Weapon movie
recommended this Canadian Band a while back, Thanks for getting to them, they had some good songs, "Wave Babies" , "New Girl Now", "Burning In Love" , "Stay In The Light", "Bad Attitude", "Love Changes Everything" , "What does it take" overall they had good sound
I saw Honeymoon Suite live when this video was one of the top hits. If you like 80s music, you'd really enjoy the 80s Cruise. We've gone 5 times and are booked for next year. The one that sails out of Florida. A 7-day party. 😊
Jam: The '80s was NOT on "the borderline" of "cheesy" and "great" ...it, just, successfully, featured BOTH! ...Always something for you to hate. Always something for you to LOVE. They were GREAT times. 🤘🤘💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 😁😁😁 👍
One of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite bands! It's a small club, but a quality club ❤❤. This was the very first cassette I played in the awesome stereo of my 1981 turbo Trans am as I drove it off the lot (it was 3 years old when I got it, but it was new to me 🤗). Damn, time flies...lol.
Great song from 1985. They had a more moderate hit from their debut album with "Burning In Love." You would like that one, too. On their second album, in 1986, they had another moderate hit with "Feel It Again."
Ok now Jamel now you are tugging my Heart strings my favorite artist of my home country of Canada ,my very first Concert saw them in Grade 10 in 1986. now you got to do Wounded,Stay in the Light,Feel it Again,Burning In Love.What Does It Take, All Along You Knew,Love Changes Everything.One by One and of course the title track to the Movie Lethal Weapon ,Lethal Weapon

More great Canadian music! I worked backstage security for them once in the 90's, they took me out for dinner with them. Cool guys. Keep up the great work! Peace
