Tell Me :

Yes do go you won't be disappointed. A very tight show, they do all hits and done very in very good form. Sounded like they were in the studio in the 80's
WAIT JUST A DOGGONE MINUTE!!!
Now you're gonna tell me you don't like the song, "Loverboy" by Billy Ocean!
Dont like what you read dont read it.
Nothing wrong with Toto imo,compared to the Stones in the 8-tees??
since steve lukather has played on over 1,000 albums how do you know if you've ever heard something by him you thought was good
Matter of taste.
The Smiths
Lords of the New Church

I agree. Sounds like something i would say.
what do you mean? I just noted it--the first track in particular. And I complimented the song, though your description makes them sound like a wedding band.
Different haircut,different musicians.
Talk about your favorite band.

I did not know, that they still exist. But if Loverboy come to my area, I want also go. "Turn Me Loose" is one of my absolute favorite rock songs.

i think sometimes a band is practically advertising and announcing just how bad they are just by their name alone. can you imagine a band called loverboy being anything BUT awful?

This entire discussion should be removed from the stream of human consciousness. Loverboy, i.e., Son of Foreigner, was a symptom/symbol of everything that sucked about '80's commercial rock. Geez, what's next, a Styx/Kansas fanboy thread?
Eventually, I took that review copy of the first Loverboy album (i.e., the one that I tried to use as a Frisbee), smashed it "into little pieces," and made a sculpture of sorts out of it. The thing looked like the remains of a helicopter crash. It was probably the most constructive use ever of a Loverboy record.
Maybe the surviving members of Foreigner and Loverboy can unite for a tour under the name Foreign Loverboy. This concept reminds me of Jean-Pierre, the French dude on Cheers who was forever trying to horn in on Woody's girlfriend Kelly. All he really just wanted to do was dupe her into a quickie wedding, bang her, and "take half her money."

Loverboy still 'has it' after all these years? Has what? They never had anything to begin with. As a Canadian I suppose I should de facto state the truism that along with Celine Dion, Nickleback and Bryan Adams, Loverboy is, was, and shall always remain a national embarrassment that played bland MTV fashion friendly pap for teenyboppers.
Ugh. Absolutely horrible band. I get the shudders and feel physically ill just thinking about this. There were other absolutely vomit inducing 80s Canadian bands too..Loverboy isn't the only guilty party here.. Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, Helix, Prism etc etc ... you know the type, absolutely ridiculous spandex pants wearing, poseur hair bands ..
in the 80's I was deeply into listening to blues music, guys like Tinsley Ellis, Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland, Donald Kinsey Report, Duke Robilliard and stuff..Stevie Ray Vaughan .. because all the MTV fashion hair bands no matter where they were from (Warrant, Tesla, Poison, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Ratt .. all that rot) were so embarrassingly terrible..
there were some great 80s rock bands though; Moe Berg was writing hilarious and good rock tunes here in Canada fronting the Pursuit of Happiness, Jeff Healey of course - a true genius - stateside the Replacements were and still are one of my favorites bands ever, someone mentioned Blasters - for that matter anything to do with Dave Alvin, then there was Los Lobos, Hothouse Flowers; their first record is from the 80s and is great.. Loverboy cannot even be mentioned in the same sentence as these bands ...
I'd suggest immediately burning all your Loverboy records at the stake, and delving into Canadian rock that actually is quite good and sticks to your ribs, ..dig into Blue Rodeo's 25 year history and 12 album catalogue, or Tragically Hip's 20 year history and 11 album catalogue.. for just a couple of examples. .. most of both band's records are multi-platinum sellers in Canada .. .. that's a good start to wean you off the Loverboy my friend.. !

no, it just sounds bad.
..if you want to hear a band play this sort of music effectively, with people that can actually sing it, listen to Blue Rodeo. They were playing 'alt-country' years before bands like Wilco, Uncle Tupelo and Jayhawks (all of whom I like) had the term affixed to them.

It wasn't Blue Rodeo that's for sure.. !
I think it was REO Stationwagon.

..and don't forget Toto, Starship and most especially Journey... because there it all explodes into a whole new entire stratosphere of crap
I saw the Stones in Buffalo in 1981 at Rich Stadium and had to suffer through Journey as an opening act; not sure who's brilliant idea that was.. ..

Blue Rodeo - not bad. Guy's voice is a bit generic, but the first cut sounds like "Indian Girl" for a while.

Blue Rodeo actually have two lead/rhythm guitarist/singers, so their songs differ depending on who wrote/sings it. Normally the other guy that didn't write it and doesn't sing it - does the guitar solos.
Neither of them are noted for their 'generic - ness'; and sing/play rock, blues, jazzy, country.. psychedelia.. the gamut..with equal skill
this looks better at 480p; was ripped from an old VHS tape
That's Bob Egan (ex Wilco) on slide

It's not that they could out play the Stones with their arms chopped off (a lot of people could/can), it's just that all those hit songs sucked and they still suck. Drive through the middle latitudes of the United States between Denver and, I dunno, Cincinnati, and all you hear is that crap on the radio (along with the usual overplayed Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Who, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Skynnrd, YES, Queen and many many many many more).

They don't suck to me.
Btw Steve Lukather praises Richards for being a great rhythm player.
Very modest.
