Love your channel. This one was very, very educational. Most ppl toss this band aside thinking it's a bunch of hair metal garbage, but it isn't. Get past the radio friendly videos and you have some good songs. Mike has a distinctive voice as well. And Vito on the ax is killer

Loved their early stuff and saw them live a few times. I lost track of them after seven keys part two, from watching this video, I can see why.

You forgot to mention that the video for "Body Talk" from Dancing Undercover was featured in the movie The Golden Child fight scene starring Eddie Murphy in 1986. I didn't realize RATT had released a new album until I saw that movie.

Been a fan since 84. Playing countless hours on my drums with headphones. Still listening to this day.

Great album covers. So many of the bands were good but overlooked. My brother had a band in the 90s that had great music but only one self-produced CD that never sold. It made me realize there were thousands of such bands and tens of thousands of musicians (millions?) who never "made it" despite being really good, and we'll never hear their music. Poor management is part of it I guess, but also just luck of the draw. Meanwhile, on the radio, all this new stuff is absolute garbage. The crap rises to the top and the good music is buried. Why? One of life's mysteries.

Dudem, out of this world is great, and Kee´s playing and solos are awesome, come on!!!

If you make it on your third album, si not an overnihght succes...

Michael Wagener, who is now retired, has gone on record as saying the only guy he'd come out of retirement to work with would be Vito.

I wish Razör would do a Metal Mythos on them

Interviewer has always annoyed me. “Let’s not avoid the question” For example

Love this band,metal warriors! Dude please make an episode abouth Thor! Kick ass metal warriors...

Sick

This is probably one the best documentries about WHITELION i have ever seen. Thanks for this great job. ROCK ON!!

Great band, love , me against the world. Song.

I felt in love with a storm... eeeeeeeeeer... I mean with TANK since the first time I got "Filth Hounds..." back in the 80's, which is a MASTERPIECE (all songs are PERFECT) You forgot to mention that "Crazy Horses" from "Power Of The Hunter" is an The Osmonds cover For me TANK is Algy Ward and anything else... any other thing is something else, but not TANK. Congratulations another incredible awesome video well documented, narrated, and produced.

"Children" is a masterpiece - there is no doubt about that. Shame that they had nothing else that came close - the rest of their material is pretty poor imho. But, if they work for you? Great. Not everyone likes pizza. Thank God for grunge.....

I love how eric adams went from "the kids" to pretty much setting the standard for power metal vocals

Racial oppression is South Africa is what is happening there right now.

Greenpeace are the terrorists.

Parts of that riff off "name of my bride" sounds a lot like megadeth's 'darkest hour' according to my non- musician drummer ears...

The Old "One of my friends is..." Yeah, Seabass, we know..

Yeah, for about 2 yrs.....I was there....great band.

I love the Elric Of melnibone album art. I don't like that you can't get any of said art on a shirt without Cirith Ungols band name on it...I guess I have to be a fan. This video will be a great place to start

I meet Steve Whiteman after a concert in Atlanta at the Omni when they were turning with Great White. He is the coolest rockstar I’ve meet to this day. My girlfriend and I were sitting on a concrete ledge watching everyone scrambling to get autographs around the tour buses. Steve just walked up and sat down beside us and struck up a conversation. We talked for about 15 minute until everyone realized who he was……they started crowding around and he basically said get away and we finished our conversation . I’ll never forget that moment!!!!

Doro always was and still is freakin' awesome.

Fantastic documentary! Great work.

What an incredible "guide track" on Fight to Survive.

02:03 I wouldn't say that exactly, they had UFO and there fucking legends

Well, i's heard of power metal and black power, but i isn't no never heard of black power metal

The final cow town

I remember Metal Hammer called these guys 'clueless donuts'.

You kinda starting to miss these stepsisters? 07:36 gee I wonder why? I'm missing these sisters too, I'm missing them REAL hard

Man, I wish I had known about them in the 80s. This is great stuff. Thanks for this video!

I saw them Mar 24, 2023. Took pictures with them.

could you possibly do something on a group called TIGERTAILZ? they were a grouyp from Wales who released 1 album in america on an independent label, but all other albums overseas, they were big overseas but never made it here and im curious why? they were a very glam metal looking band but had some seriously underrated music, even covering metallicas creeping death. they had the look, the muscianship, catchy songs, they seemed like a complete package that would of been big here in America.

"I'll Jens Your Brandle" 🕶️✊

world asylum might be in the running for ugliest album cover ever..

Great video covering Metal Church. The 3 albums are GEMS.

I watched the “Wait” video on MTV at least a Million times 😂… great song! 🪖🥁✌🏼

who was the man in the keyboards on Somebody save me video?

You've gotta do HELSTAR

Maybe you mentioned it, but "In the city" song is Def.Leppard inspired

I didn't mention this on my comment on the Stryper video. I went to a Pentecostal school on Newfoundland, Canada. We had to partner with someone to do a poster of careers for Career Education in 1987. The teacher was against rock music regardless if it was Christian Oriented or secular. Me and my buddy decided to do it on Rock bands. Me being a Stryper fan and also liked the album Cinderella had out at the time Night Songs, I collected whatever Stryper pics I could find and my buddy did the Cinderella part. We both got a decent mark which I was surprised. Another buddy from the same school who was a preacher's kid was a huge Cinderella fan and had their first 2 albums. I think he still has 3 of their albums on CD: Night Songs, Long Cold Winter and Still Climbing.

Best german band ever.

Great presentation! Stryper is one of the best Hard Rock/Metal bands of the 80s, including both Christian and mainstream bands. A couple of corrections; 1.Soldiers Under Command was released in August 1985. 2. The Yellow and Black Attack 8 song reissue that was released in August of 1986 due to the success of Soldiers Under Command, not To Hell With the Devil which was not released until October 1986.

They closely followed both incarnations of Van Halen as the best hard rock band of the 80’s

Saw them open for Cinderella in 93

truly a fountain of artistic talent & songwriting craftsmanship.. not at all a novelty group that milked a gimmick...

It would be nice if you divided the video up into chapters for each album.

For me, Krokus will always be Metal Rendezvous through Headhunter, with The Blitz as a just an okay. I disagree with the narrator about Hardware and think it is better than stated - he didn't even make a mention of Smelly Nelly.
