When this came out I was 16 and it didn't sink in fully. 44 years old now and after Divorce, Blood Infection, my son's Mother passing away and now my Dad with stage 4 Cancer it's a masterpiece of pushing through. Suffering builds character and perception saves life's. Your time is God's gift,seize the day.

Dont ask me how I came across this. Takes me back to being 12 years old watching the Headbangers Ball.

There isn't a single weak spot in Cuatro. The entire album is champion.

The early 90's were great.

Heard this song for the first time at about 1:30 am on Headbanger's Ball in my early teen years... Fell in love

This seems to be timeless in late 2023 this seems like a masterpiece, A beautiful Metal song ! Way better than what We have now

These guys and Fates Warning were always 2 of my favorites.

Been with you guys since the beginning. Flots Till Death!

Erik AK. one of the best singers Ever. Totally underrated.

Erik A.K. is one of THE BEST singers ON THE PLANET!!!

CLASS 1 OLD SCHOOL METAL......

My favorite band 35 years. (From Hungary)

The intro to this song always gets me with goose bumps..love it

Such an underrated band. Love them!

Headbangers Ball memories.

This song has the feel of faith no more

I remember these guys from the 80s. And still love them into the 90s and beyond!!

I woke up with this song in my head after not hearing it for a long time. Such an illustration of how cruel childhood really is.

One of my favorite metal albums. Flots kicks so much ass.

I remember watching this on Headbangers Ball on MTV back in the day. The band said if you either turn the brightness of your tv all the way up or down you see another video imposed over this one.

this album was my exposure to the band back in 92. Its such a disgrace that this band isnt bigger. This was on a major label when it came out and it sold fairly well yet they dont get the recognition they deserve.

Back in the day, you could catch this cool vid on Headbanger's Ball! That's how I became familiar with the band and ended up buying the record.

This song is absurdly good...

That riff!

Flotsam and Jetsam they must be registered in STAR Boulevard! They are such a PERFECT!!!!

Honestly, Cuatro is an Epic masterpiece

One of the most underrated bands from that era..

Headbanger's Ball - this hit me like a hammer 1st time I watched it. Not just a monster song but can relate to it 100%

Powerful video! The way the child builds his own prison with his smashed memories is brilliantly done... Whoever wrote and produced this video is to be commended!

Headbangers ball early 90s with Ricky Rachtman!!!! Somehow I remember but don’t know how

First song I ever heard from Flotsam & Jetsam. Went back and bought up everything I'd missed. Been a huge fan since.

Saw these dudes front row when I was 15 at Newport Music Hall ( Columbus Ohio) during the Quatro Tour ...met them at local record store before ,still got my autograph ...it was fucking awesome

I've never heard of this group until now but wish I had years ago. They are awesome.

Those guitar tones. RAZOR SHARP!!!

You put a gun to my head The storm's too deep outlook dead Handing down that anger Nothing good ever lasts Moody violence Now a fool in my eyes What's the answer, I'll search till I die Try a little harder I hear myself say Make it last before it's taken away Wading through the darkness My head held in my hands Wading through the darkness Forced to forget this anguish I'm half of what I used to be Erase my memory Now gone forever goodbye But I know my memories won't die Wading through the darkness My head held in my hands Wading through the darkness Dead inside with a heart that bleeds Relax my tension needs Tightness suffocates Too dense to focus I'll see it through the day No longer churning inside Rotted memories inhabit my mind My rage destroys the calm Destroys the calm Wading through the darkness My head held in my hands Wading through the darkness

I've always lived this tune, it's the bomb!!!!!!! Right on !!!!!!!!! Rock on !!!!!!!!!!

I remember a buddy of mine was so confused when this video premiered, because Kelly David-Smith and Jason Newsted had the same hairstyle around that time. He was like "I didn't know the bass player from Metallica played drums too" and I was like WTF

This will never get old. Just as relevant, then, now......

one of the best 90s songs

Best album from front to back. I'm a fan from the start and this is the epoch, where it all came together.

Amazing song. One of their best.

This song takes me back to my high school years in the early 90s. Fond memories of Headbangers Ball and KNAC 105.5 Was a fan of them prior to Cuatro, that said....Cuatro is my favorite album from them. Glad they're still going strong all these years later.

At the beginning you see the name of the boat is Sea Bright. If you're watching on a TV, turn your brightness all the way up and you will see things in this video that you normally can't see.

Just saw them with Testament on Feb. 23rd. Flotsam was tight!

Such a great song!

these guys had a very progressive sound for the times. saw them at a local club in buffalo before anyone knew who they really were

Saw them at the Cleveland Agora on this tour they f****** jammed 🤘💯💯

Anyone still wading thru the darkness ?in 2020

MTV HEADBANGERS BALL '92. \m/

Flotsam for life Quatro one of my favorite albums my hometown bands Phoenix rocks

Such an amazing song

I agree, I first heard them back on Head Bangers Ball back in 1993 a few months after this album "Quatro" came out. Years later, I got the album and was completely blown away. Unbeliable album and one of the last great Hard Rock/Metal albums of the 90's

Song that describes 2020

great vocals they never got what they deserve. great band! !!!

OH This song mean to much for me,I dont know how to explain.So fucking epic,awesome band,but so fuckin underrated.Oh I hate that,these guys deserve so,so, much more.FLOTSAM AND JETSAM TILL DEATH.TY FOR ALL

Many hours of listening to these guys when I was younger and still listening

loved this song since the day it was released . I still relate to it . music has never let me down .

I saw them in Providence (JR's Fastlane maybe) and stood right in front of the stage. I remember thinking the drums were going to make my chest explode. It was awesome!

He gave me n my high school sweetheart his autograph in Pueblo Colorado at the chief theatre .awesome guy . very friendly.and he is truly talented. his voice was spot on live.

Love this song.. I remember the first time i see this video 👍❤️

This song is so well put together. Vocals,Lyrics, guitars, Bass ,Percussion and don't overlook the glorious backing vocals too! In my humble opinion It's a MASTERPIECE!

Been around long enough to be one of metal's prodigy standards.....the shiznitt!!!

This is one awesome jam i always waited to catch it on headbangers ball and when it played i cranked it up.Headbanging in my living room.

Haha! Great stuff....my friend used to have this old "Masters of metal" cassette tapes back in the late 80s.....old promo ones....this was on it! Good times.... we'd crank on his car stereo cruising main St.....man....I miss the 80s....good shit!!!!😅🤘👍

F&J's best album to date! I bought this album when I was a senior in HS, & listened to it nearly daily! I couldn't get enough of it!

I won a fan video of this on vhs from the band. I also have a Michael Gilbert signed Helicoptour shirt

Kelly Smith is an exceptional metal drummer. Musical gold.

I liked this song since the firts time I heard it!

I've often thought about doing a blues cover of this.

1992. I was 24 and heading into my prime meth years. Was always tweeking when I heard this on Headbangers. We were either playing pool, darts, ping pong, or dice. Wonder if Elsinore is still like that.

So good. I remember being happy that Flotsam was getting air play with WTTD and Swatting At Flies. It was short lived. I remember it was the only reason I could bring myself to like this song at the time. I mean, I knew it was good, better than other radio mainstream music. But it was hard to consolidate Flotsam to this slow moving piece. Still I bought the cassette and played it on my walkman for months straight, never skipping a song. But today, a little older I guess and more seasoned. It seems ten times the masterpiece as it was to my reality back then. Almost tear up with the video accompaniment. Maybe, maybe it was too close to the chest for me at the time. Couldn't admit I related. I built my own box I guess.

Best song they ever did

This is truly the best song of Flotsom and Jetsam. Why can't music sound like this still. It makes me mad that Rap has taken over. Metal all the way forever!!!!!!!!!

Pegada bem Grunge, mix de Alice in chains + Faith no more. Otimo video clipe!. Saudade dos anos 90!!!

I hear some influence from the father o heavy metal (black sabbath) here.. and i fuckin' love it! thanks for sharing! Flotsam and Jetsam! \m/

wow forgot about this one!

If only everyone could see that ALL children are the light...

I agree! This band has such talent, but sad that they never really made it big, i mean huge.

such a great voice

Metal at its finest.

Cool to see 30 years ago Eric AK was already old! Just kidding, Flotz still kicks ass & Eric do as well.

Epic album !

What a great song. I love this. 👽

Great SONG Great guitar work Great album Great video Kick ass fuckin jam A solid fuckin 10 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Y does my brain forget about so many cool songs? Wait i know what you are gonna say lol the timing on the drums though no wonder i never heard anyone cover it solid gold if you ask me \m/

Remember 1983 Phoenix AZ. When it all started. Fuck yeah.

I saw these guys when i was 15 front row at the newport music hall...these dudes fuckin kicked ass

This band bad ass youngest guitar lead 14 years old

Why would your fellow metalers hate on this band? Not only are they great musicians, but have they heard their heavier stuff? It's as sick as any thrash band out there!

Me too! I ran across my old cassette just yesterday. Good sh*t.

Giants!

I've taken a fair amount of guff from fellow metalers for digging this band. Couldn't care less. This sh*t rules.\,,,/

This fucking song rules! I remember buying the "Cuatro" cassette back in the day. Played the hell outta that tape! Thanks for sharing!!! Flots till death!!

Awesome band

I remember watching this on Headbanger’s ball

Never got main stream radio play how sad. Awesome band

I remember this

Love it!!

I always used to adjust the brightness so I could see the 2 different videos, not sure if it ever worked or not. Man I'm old, I can't remember. Great song though. Love ya Kelly David

A nice sounding verse played in 5/4!
