Sting and the Police and Peter Gabriel had a love child in Canada. That child is this song.

Great song by The Payolas, The Eyes of a Stranger. I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up anytime in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic movies, music and concerts, YOU were blessed!" Rock on!

I never understood why Metallica worked with him again. I had heard the "Black" sessions were very contentious. so as the old saying goes...fool me once shame on you. fool me twice shame on me. They knew what they were getting into working with Bob again, so they are at least 50% to blame, and Metallica has done a wonderful job over time of alienating themselves in the industry. They should have had their pick of producers. I'm guessing that St Anger is a situation where they pissed off better options. A good producer is a good producer, but that doesn't mean that they are a good fit with everyone.

With KZread, it is and you don't have to be limited by the cash in your wallet like you did back in the 1980s or be at the whim of whether the band or label had paid enough to get their record aired by any specific radio station or network of stations, which is what the band's name refers to.

One of the best song of Canadian rock, top 3 for sure

If you want some amazing music while driving, the whole album is incredible.

Just learnt the bass for this song and I can’t stop playing it! I’ve just been playing it over and over again😄

I remember driving down West Broadway in Vancouver to my internship at Bullfrog Recording Studios. As I'm driving past the Hollywood they're putting 'Payolas' up on the Marquee, and I remember thinking, "That's weird, the boys are playing in the movie theatre?" Very early days of story-based rock videos in '82.

Love this tune! thanks for posting....

The 80s spoiled us…Proof! I must admit, until now, I have completely forgotten about The Payolas. Amazing songs. Having access to MuchMusic, from Canada, I was able to glean music and bands MTV didn’t air. The whole world was a stage. And music fans were not without a menu full of options. The Payolas came with a bit of a punch. Great music. The 80s spoiled us…

Ska-punk is awesome....i havent heard this song in probably close to 30 years........whatta find.

justout75 I guess that would make Flock of Seagulls, Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan and Modern English all Ska Punk bands too ?....you could make an argument for UB-40 being a little bit ska-punk mixed with Reggae and New wave/techno, but this song fits the Genre of New wave best. I see almost no relation to Ska Punk in this song or band.

and just for shits and giggles...here is a wikipedia exerpt "1982 saw drummer Chris Taylor added to the band lineup, replacing Taylor Little. Kelsey left the band and was not replaced. This line-up recorded the Mick Ronson-produced album No Stranger To Danger. Incorporating elements of reggae, pop, punk, and new wave, the LP included a bona fide hit (No. 4) in “Eyes of a Stranger”, which later earned the Juno for best single of the year." I Love being right...as i was actually alive and listening to music when the song came out, kids....

Early 80's...The beginning of musical change /genres....A musical revolution/revolt of the norm...Awesome decade of influence and diversity and creativity~

Classic 80's ❤

Valley Girl - I love this song

80's music is awesome - experiencing it as a teenager, priceless. 80's club music, all kinds, awesome.

Gotta love this song and the fact that Bob Rock is the guitarist.

and he's got the eyes of a crazy man.

Do you need to be touched. If you weren't real the person's hand would go through you.

Una delle mie canzoni preferite degli anni 80. I was 18 and after 40 years I still feel the same emotion listening to this song. Si cambia ma non si dimentica mai. È la nostra vita.

Sort of a Police vibe on steroids. This song has tremendous punch.

Paul Hyde is an awesome artist, songwriter, singer and human being. One of our greats!

It's almost 2021, and that theatre is still standing in Vancouver

I love this song! Brings back memories from the early eighties.

Love love love this song. Always have, always will.

Remember hearing them as the opening act on a Loverboy show, if I recall. This guy had the loudest voice ! This song had a magical effect on the teen that I was then. Their song called "Where is this love" was pretty good too.

Awesome Song. Saw these guys open for Men at Work at the Saddledome in Calgary. My very first rock concert. Hyde was super expressive and totally filled the stage with his facial and physical dramatics. 80's music was really experimental, from punk, rap, new wave and metal ~ all using theatrical influences. More creative storytelling with what they had back then and much less banal booty shots and cheap T&A, vocal correction gizmos and such that are used now in mainstream music.

Larissa P Never thought of it that way, how 1980's music was theatrical. What an awesome thought!

Haha.. yeah! If it hadn't been for the dramatic story lines in most of Kate Bush's music, I may have never become a dancer. So much drama to act out, some would call it cheesy now, but at least it was expressive and artistic. Watch "Small Town Boy" by Bronski Beat. Or A-Ha - Take on Me... cutting edge animation into film videos of it's time - Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Bauhaus, Flock of Seagulls, Rational Youth, U2 - back then, - so much more theatrical... Even the heavy metal was full on 'performance art'. Rob Halford and Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot - so much make-up, and the costumes!? Just awesome. It was like Halloween all the time, watching Video Hits and New Music Magazine. :)
