It has been written that Silent Rage rented a chord progression riff from the KISS song Prisoner of Love, that's untrue! I wrote and recorded the chorus guitar riff to Rebel With A Cause in 1986 for our debut album Shattered Hearts released in 1987. Gene contacted us in September 1987 Due to hearing our debut album and was interested in working with us. The KISS song Prisoner of Love did not come out until 1989 on Hot in the Shade. Silent Rage re-recorded a new version of Rebel With A Cause for our 2nd album Don't Touch Me There on Simmons/RCA released in 1989. The riff is similar and a coincidence at best. My Rebel With A Cause chord progression is E, B, Fs, A. Prisoner Of Love chord progression is Fs, A, E, B, and both vocal chorus melody lines are worlds apart!

Look at all that glorious hair! Oh the 80s🖤

Yea , I did have a geat time in the 80s, Best years of my rocker days. Do miss them.

I forgot about this song and it popped into my head while sitting at my desk at work.

Headbanger's Ball!!! I remember staying up every Saturday night just to watch this with Adam Curry then Riki Rachtman.

i saw this video like 1 month ago....then like 2 days ago i found a vhs tape that my dad recorded in 89/90 and this video came out and i was like...wow...when mTV played all sorts of videos and well ACTUALLY played them. :)

living in the 80s listening to all of this kind of music was heaven love it thanks

Holy shit I haven't heard this tune in 20yrs..remembered every word like I heard it yest...oh how i miss the 80's...

Choruses are golden here. Just magic.

Sounds like 80's kickass tunes to me ... energy !!!!

Only 144 000 views?! This song is underestimated, it deserves a million views, at least!

another band that should've had more recognition. fucking awesome

Great song Amazing band! Plus they looked hot!

This band absolutely ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need more music like this!!!

great great GREAT!! One of my all-time favorite inspirational & rockin' tunes....this is truly a hidden gem!!

I loved this song the first time I heard it on Headbangers Ball lol...

80´s Hard N´ Heavy rules all over!

80s were the best inm the world .... but now continued ringin .... grettings from colombia my bro...

Let's make this glory days come back Whole world!!! Start playing some sweet ass glam rock!!!

This is 110% cool and I got this album and what ever happened to this band.😀👍🤘🎸

Excellent tune!!!! I still rock out to the cassette from '89!! Singer Jesse Damon still makes music, was just listening to his songs "Black Widow" and "Save Me" from his 2013 release "Temptation in the Garden of Eve". Some great music, with that traditional melodic rock vibe that I like!!!!

Miss those days sucks to growup but still rockin hard forever

this LP was truely fantastic, it really was...

Love the "Don´t touch me there"-album. Hard to believe, Mr. `Money-is-all-I-need` discovered them and even produced some of the songs. But it seems Gene had a good had at that time. House of Lords, Silent Rage ...

great feel good song! i loved these guys.

Always loved this song and band!

awesome 80s hair metal,

I love everything about this song forever legends 🤘🎸❤💯❣😎

That piece of guitar solo in the middle is adrenalizing

Hell yeah! Headbangers ball and this song! 🎸🎸🎸

To all out their in the usa may god bless us all and keep on rockin stay safe .

BRILLIANT! 1 000 000 plus!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Rebel With A Cause......Awesome song & Silent Rage Awesome band.....Great 80's!!!!!!

Silent Rage, Rebel With A Cause; these guys sure liked their movie titles.

Its like there was an error in the space and time calendar and all the music geniuses emerged in the magical era of THE 80'S!!!!

Awesome!!! I miss the good ol' days

Extremely underrated, such a good song

Great music love your choices

Cuz' I'm a rebel with a cause....Ahhhh the good old days!

REALLY miss the 80's Metal Bands... Wish I had a time machine...

Awesome song. Great chorus 😈

How have I never heard these guys??!! they fukin rock!!

dude steel panther are like the saviours of metal, they keep it alive and kicking ass in a fashion i cant even describe xD then after taylor its miley cyrus and anyone who has won the x-factor.....metal will rise again

There is nothing more metal than the drummer doing a stick twirl in the video...\m/

This is a great Track!!!

I love the song rebel with a cause

great tune

damn guys. I still love that song and you all look great. I believe it was just after you filmed this video that I interviewed you and broke you in Vegas and Nevada. Good Time sirs, Good times! Please never stop.

This was indeed the Golden Age Of Heavy Metal.

im building a time machine to go back to the 80s

Year when music is fun.

Awesome !

Gene Simons was only lookin after money.. these guys rocked

Fucking Nirvana n alternative music killed Heavy Metal musics.. this music rocks!! 👍

Great Rock n' roll this is true rock n' roll metal, now almost all sucks!

Pretty good CD. I got it in 2014 as I happened upon them. Rare hair metal band without a high voice as lead singer.

AWESOME BAND !!!

You're right guys!! These guys rock!! I had no idea that FABIO

First time hearing them. Id read about them in Metal Edge way back when. Had I seen this video I wouldve bought the tape. Sounds good.

there are hot guys everywhere and omg the abs are amazing!!!!

I'm with you,never heard of these guys and finding a few others I never heard of which dont make sense cause I used to watch headbangers ball religously

LOVE THA 80S, VERY CKOOL SOUND

Really underrated band. First heard them on the hard n heavy video magazine in the U.K. Awesome album

"Only the strong survive" 💪😉😂🍻

this band is amazing \m/ SILENT RAGE \m/

VIXEN!!

Awesome video, God Bless Hair Metal!!!!!!!!!

You're right.....these guys rock!! I had no idea that FABIO could play bass like that!!

My favorite song ever

This kind of music makes me feel young again anybody that listens to it will be transported back to that Great era everything is a rip-off but it's also a form of flattery whatever it takes these guys need to do it again too loud you're too old

Hair metal doesn't get any better than this.

I remeber this song! I used to really love it when I was like 15, Still very catchy. There is just something too over produced about though now that I listen to it. This would have been a great song for some chessy 80's sports movie staring someone from the brat pack. I know this sounds like I don't like it but, I actually really do. Just don't tell anyone!

Back then I always thought in 90' I almost thought that the singer for nelson Was there singer Because they kind of look similar And Looks like David Coverdale And sounds like David Coverdale on 87 and 89! 👍

Man, I've searched high and low for this video!!!!!! I've tried looking here several times - and then this dull tuesday evening, there it is!!! How perfect is that?!! I love this song - I also heard it the first time on Hard&Heavy and couldn't find it anywhere. Yeah too bad they didn't get further - however I believe they've made a couple of albums and a have a new album about to be released. Silent Rage ROCKS!!!

My Saturday Night after getting off work...Friday The 13th : The Series, Howard Stern WWOR TV show and Headbangers Ball. .

Just got their "Shattered Hearts" cd from Ebay. It rocks!

I saw the original band at Rocklahoma in 09, pretty good.

never heard of this band before but they rock!

sounds like y&t still love it

I actually seriously don't get how this wasn't a huge hit. Dudes with a good look, excellent stage presence, and the song itself is a perfect balance of catchiness and heaviness. And these guys had Gene Simmons backing them for Christ's sakes! I wonder how it all fell down the drain.

now, that use to be music

Never heard of these guys -no idea how they never made it big (same goes for Tyketto and Baton Rouge to name a couple). Thanks for giving me my 80s fix - yet more proof of how metal 89-93 was the best: catchy as any pop song but heavy as well. I know we all like different stuff but seriously, I ask you, how can anyone not like this? Great image, bands that can actually play, melody *and* attitude, heaviness but also foot-tapping catchy. I just don't get it. It's just further proof of why I wish it was permanently 1992. I'm going to listen to this then watch a bunch of late 80s films - all with kickass heavy metal songs over the closing credits.

MTV Bring back the original Head Bangers Ball.......

A masterpiece, & such a perfect, well-made video.

Class! Original composer ! On Whitesnake = not in one ear! Hm..Everybody in Hard n heavy little little on Whitesnake and etc on world-rock n roll bands!! Not pladiats!! Not piratsva!! Very nice rock n roll band!! Good luck metal -talants brothers!! In person hard n heavy and => Thank-you for the music,video!!! Rock n roll!! Everybody!!

This song is almost 30 years old and still better than the garbage they play on the radio on every station.

Classic!!!

awesome band

cause im a rebel with a cause

I dont care if ppl think this is cheesy, its still awesome rock. There might be a lot of bands who used this formula..but DAMN this shit is way better then 99% of the crap pop the masses listen to today. At least this was trued music made by human being not some damn computer BS.

y&t had a brother? still dig it use to have the tape

fun song

this is what my wife has been preaching to me for 17 years

i was speaking to gene simmons the other day and he was talking about this band and how they pretty much owe everything to him. he says that this is the best band he has ever signed music wise and it dissapoints him deeply that they never made it as big as he thought. that's actually what the topic was, regrets. i had never heard of these guys prior to me and gene's conversation, and i'm just not that impressed. this is the first song i've listened to by them, so i can't really judge them just yet. but they aren't bad but the way he talked about this band made it seem like a zeppelin that never took off.
