FirstMeasure Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Have to admit, I couldn't stand Billy Squier's voice when he was new, but I've really come to appreciate him nowadays. Cool guitar tones and likeable hooks, what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf51SDwo8ac Maybe it's a statement on just how bad music has gotten, but it sounds a lot cooler today than it did 25+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My kids wonder why I don't like him. Maybe overkill by FM radio back in the '80s had something to do with it. Maybe it's just I never liked his music. I still don't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbreslauer Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I saw him in the very early 80's with the opening act being an up and coming british group named "Def Leppard" :) I remember both bands being good, but there was a sense that the openers were better. (disclaimer: I was not quite 14 at the time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I always liked his music. Now when I hear his songs, it reminds me of the old skating rink days. His songs were "rock", but they had a good beat and groove that went great with skating around the rink. His career seemed to go down after this video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl M Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 He had a string of hits. "Everybody Wants You" and "The Stroke" were my favs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Never liked him at the time. But now his music brings back all those memories and flashbacks from my time spent in PA in my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So, I had never listened to Billy Squier before tonight. Thankfully, I actually really like him! Great, classic 80s sleaze-rock stuff. Perfect for jamming out on a drunk night. Thanks for bringing him to my attention, bluesguitar65! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I still spin him up on the iPod on occasion. I remember seeing him open a few times, Heart is most memorable. Jeff Golub was guitar player, he was awesome. Billy doing Borders coffee shops in recent years. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I heard one of his songs on the radio this morning on the way to work. Never really a big fan, but I like his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
