Still one of my favorite songs/videos of all time...

[Metaltastic]

I just rediscovered this song after a bit of a hiatus, and jesus christ does it bring back those pinings I used to have of wishing I was born in the late 60s (before I discovered my love of modern metal). The solos are just such an orgasm-fest (especially Schon, Lynch, Yngwie (for once), the Blue Oyster Cult guy, and especially Craig Goldy from Giuffria, who I'd never heard of before this) and the song itself IS SO GODDAMN CATCHY!!!!

I give you...



WE'RE STARS!!!!!!!

Fuck yeah, I remember that one. It's a guilty pleasure I guess, but I love 80's metal - and that includes hair metal.

I´ve just watched the whole video yesterday, I did not know Dio produced that track... man this is old... I don´t even know if I was a human being or just a spermatozoid back then...

It is the International Wig Fair!! hahahaha.

Last year 2007 was the 10th anniversary of my band VALHALLA, and we played only cover version through all 2007. One of the covers was this song.

The solos are fucking awesome, but goddamn what a bunch of mooky lookin mother fuckers!

 

[R-Stuur]

I thought Yngwies solos were best all around

The Spinal Tap guys make this video. mouahahahhaha.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hahaha, true that, especially if you watch the "Guitarists" behind-the-scenes linked on the right of the youtube window; David St. Hubbins has some pretty funny stuff to say about Yngwie.

And Jevil, that's fucking tits that your band covered this, and yeah, I always thought that if they really wanted to raise money to help starving kids, they should've just all sold their hair to wig-makers and donated the proceeds!

I bet that studio still reeks of white rain and ego.
