  • I have this on VHS STILL!.. It will never leave my collection. Granted I wish I had the software to port it over to my pc... lol

  • 6 people gonna were pozers and fucked into pit at 1:27 FORBIDDEN RULES!

  • my fav album of all time!!!

  • fucking classic!

  • need more singers like this nowadays, seems all metal bands just want to scream like fags nowadays

  • with this video you can see that thrash metal is the most difficult genre of music to play ever....THRASH TILL DEATH!

  • @sicfuker25 i play thrash and pride myself on playing relatively challenging stuff but thats just not true lol anything can be difficult depending on who's writing it. and improv jazz and tech death are probably across the board harder to play

  • Holy fuck this takes me back to when I got my Speed Kills compilation cassette through the door when I was fourteen. I was never a fan of the high pitched vocals though. Fucking classic!!!!!!

  • I`ve got this one too. The Trocadero in Philly is where this was done. Death and Dark Angel were in this venue as well.

    Good work friend!

  • 6 nucle heads with thumbs down.Forbidden rules morons,lol.

  • Oh Russ....you used to be so great.....what happened?

  • @shreddeth7 - does 20 years older than back then says something to you?

    Stop crying.

  • @DaSmooth I was just saying that he used to be so good, and that I wish his voice had held up better over time. No need to be a cock. :P

  • Who's that cool guy dancing at 1:55 in the back? hahaha, what the fuck..

  • 1:25 that IS a moshpit!!

  • @killywea you want to see a moshpit? check obituary's turned inside out at the marquee early 90's or sacred reich's death squad at dynamo late 80's

  • The high pitch scream, holy fuck at :25

    I don't see any powermetal bands reaching that high, you would think the high pitch screamers these days would be on top of it but nothing can't beat this high pitch scream. Forbidden rocked this show. They had the best sound. Raven was pretty good:-)

  • Recuerdo que la primera vez que lo vi fue en el canal 27 uhf entre 1989 y 1990,de la puta madre.....grande Forbidden.....

  • I love this.

    /J

    40+, house, kids

  • welcome to the church of lies!!!!

  • Who's on guitar duties? Tim or Glen?

  • Who's on guitar duties? Tim or Glen?

  • I still have a knot on the top of my head from Craig's guitar headstock as he and I were headbanging together during this song...I felt no pain! Blondie's in Detroit 1989 opening for Exodus...who's got the time machine?

  • I have this on VHS and have not seen it in over 20 years, it still gives me chills watching this. One of the most under rated bands of that era. Skill beyond skill and riffs to make you want to choke a bitch.

  • Love Forbidden. Sounds like Sebastian Bach fronting Slayer (a good thing).

  • @Fuzzpilots it really does...

  • Gods of thrash \m/

  • FUCK YEAH!

  • absolutely best ver.

  • forbiden es una de las mejores bandas de thrash que he escuchado

  • One of the best THRASH bands on planet Earth... :)

  • Russ was by far one of the best metal vocalists of late 80s, awesome stuff!

  • i yoused to have this on v.h.s. it was one of my favoret vids his voice was amazing back then.....................

  • God FORBIDDEN fuckin owns, so fucking amazing!

  • I'm not sure if it's the audio or anything, but the bass drums and the bass make it sound really heavy to compliment the guitar parts, and then there's Russ' amazing voice and how he gets the crowd going. Fucking epic.

  • This takes us all back to a time when a metal band wasn't afraid to play more than 3 detuned chords, strap sex toys to their face, and they didn't think it was cool to buy low-end BC Rich guitars thinking they sound awsome through a Line-6.

  • lol, you just described the rig I have because of my inexperience in guitars/music.

    lol BC Rich+Line 6=FAIL

  • I personally blame Guitar Center.

    "Check out this Line 6 here..."

  • Le - Gends!

  • the blonde chuck billy ! :P

  • His hair's red and he's really not that similar vocally to Chuck Billy.. they just both front thrash bands.

  • deraickripper probably meant that Russ is a monster singer just as Billy is!

    I guess!

  • even better!

  • I saw them last night in London - STAGE DIVING ALLOWED - they fucking destroyed.

    Legends.

  • weLcome to the church of Lie$!!!!

    one of the better bay area thrash

    bands of the late 80s' earLY 90s'

    and that's sayin' something.

  • 0.17 - 0.22

    Insane!

  • Forbidden was insanely heavy. The first time that I hear "Through Eyes of Glass", I was just blown away. And even now...a couple of decades later, it is just as skull crushing!

  • I was just waiting for someone to mention that song, its a masterpiece!! :)

  • Yeah...a full on thrashsterpiece! That was a pretty amazing time in metal. Man...how things have changed.

  • @cmonsterz That song makes me invision if King Diamond's 'Abigail' lineup played Thrash Metal. It has the same chilling feeling in the guitar tune.

  • @ChevoB

    Yeah! Man...I thought that KD's Abigail freaking smoked! Gave me chills too. The 7th Day of July 1777 and the Black Horsemen. What a wicked album! I liked how Andy's guitar contrasted with Michael Denner. Those were the days of the best metal. Forbidden and King Diamond.

  • hahahahahahahaha XD dude dancing in the audience

  • q tema tan aspero forbidden deslie cerebros y rompe oidos

  • This just kicks ass, period.

    -Jules

  • 1:47 UGH! hardcore dancers sigh...

  • It's extremely heavy!

    Esprcially Paul Bostaph on the drums

  • What happened to the film clip of this song that was up?

    It had some of this footage in it.

  • Why'd he have to go and ruin a good guitar?

  • Comment removed

  • Doesn´t get much better than this. Fantastic thrash band, one of my top 5 thrash albums of all time "Forbidden Evil".

  • Proper metal. End of.

  • CHALICE OF BLOOD!

    Awesome song from an awesome album AND band!

  • This makes me wanna be born 1975

  • badass ending dude

  • Man that's good, Russ can really wail!

    (Obscure Wayne's World references FTW!)

  • he he ... not anymore , still great band

  • Ah I see what you mean, I just watched a vid from 2008 - what happened to his voice?! D=

  • haha i cant believe you noticed that dude. this is an awesome video, forbidden were like the pinnacle of thrash metal. fuckin craig rules!

  • amazing and underrated band. god i wish i could've been at that show

  • I wish I was at Ultimate Revenge 1 with Slayer, Exodus, and Venom. my dad went when he was 15.

  • hes one lucky man. wish i was there

  • now thats a pretty sick pit, nooo pussies there! THRASH METAL!

  • No.....for real....pause it right as 0:24 turns to 0:25 and to the left bottom of the screen you'll see the possesion in his face....he's the guitarplayer on the left

    ......it's all in a fraction of a second...

  • Dude, you rule for noticing that!

  • OMG

    ITS A FUCKING MONSTER

  • haha what the hell

  • @woi2ld It´s Toasty! jojo

  • @woi2ld lol, you're right. He's a fucking demon right there.

  • @woi2ld hahahah!

  • @woi2ld whats on 0:24?

  • @woi2ld

    That's awe, that's not 'possession'. Saw these guys on the FE tour in tiny dump of a place in DC. Maybe 75 of us. Crunchy goodness.

  • Andersons high pitched screams could peel the paint of the fucking wall!! This thrash metal at its finest!!!!

  • try to pause it right at 0:25.....you'll see that glen alvelais is possesesed....he was the only one at the time still with christian background that allowed him to be overcome by demonic forces......

  • Nothing's up..

  • I just have to ask this. Since what year has this band been around? It doesn't sound or look like a band formed in this century.

  • Since 1985, under the name "Forbidden Evil". They changed their name to just "Forbidden" in '87. Good news is they're touring and writing a new record!

  • Thanks.

    It really sounds like a band I must know more about. But so far it seems, that even Sanctuary is more known than this:)

  • incredible how amazing pipes Russ Anderson had backin the day!.....wow!!

  • how old is this video? I remember the singer being a lot bigger back in the day

  • i thought this was in 1989

  • metaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllll, FUK YEAH

  • I fucking love forbidden. So happy they've reformed. One of the main reasons I my friends and I formed a band.

  • Notice how they get faster for verse2... Amazing...

  • How fucking awesome is this live!?

  • Its soooo fast lol. If you can find them demo version of this and then compare it to this version, its like doubletime! I love this version.

  • HOLY FUCKING BATSHIT! The good old days... How fucking fast did they rattle thru that?!! Awesome. One of the few bands from that era i didn't manage to see in their prime. Absolutley fucking relentless, just the way it should be.

    BAY AREA RULES FOREVER!!!

  • once again awsome singing and great guitar work,80's rule

  • Yeah right Overkill. Thing I loved about this band was his vocals. Got that NWOBHM pointing style to them haven't they. 80's rule dude - we know. Keep it metal brother... Respect \m/

  • RIC! Es al bajista!!

  • ahhh.  Total thrash assult.... the only way i'd like to be assulted...just kidding. but not really. AWESOME SONG!!!! \m/

  • \m/ fucking legends

  • Awesome! I saw these guys at the Omni back in Santa Clara. Russ is one tall guy.

  • Hail Forbidden, I'll see them at Graspop.

  • OMG i´ve f***ng got a hard on! haha LOVE

  • Forbidden confirmed for Graspop 2008 (along with Maiden and Priest), fucking awesome!

  • salut c fred de france,forbidden est un putain de groupe que g decouvert en 1988, excellent indemodable c l'orgasme salut.

  • i'm 14 years old (started with metal when i was 13) and i hate nu metal/metalcore/emo fag crap and such.

    Hail Forbidden!

    Hail real metal!

  • Actually this was a riff that Robb Flynn (Vio-lence, Machine Head) came up with before leaving Forbidden.

  • Damn, this song has the most crushing rhythm, Paul Bostaph is so under-rated still!

    Craig's riffs freaking kill!

  • Well he hasnt been in shit bands :)

  • jesus christ, what band has paul bostaph not been in?

  • Man, I think they were one of the most underrated thrash bands back then. I think if they would have come along on the scene before Testament, they would have been bigger. No knock to Testament at all, as they were about as good as it got back then, but the two bands are similar and maybe that's why they didn't hit it bigger?? I don't know, but they were great.

  • i cantimagine what it was like back then,i would have friends cuz other ppl liked metal, now its so not cool to like thrash metal, and no girls like it :/

  • Thrash is making a comeback currently....look at bands like Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Merciless Death and Fueled By Fire. They're all pretty young and have a large following.

    Hell, even "thrash clothing" is making a comeback, the other day I saw a kid with stovepipe jeans, patch vest and reebok BB 4600's at the train station =)

  • I feel your pain on the girls part...a lot of my friends are into metal, even though it's not popular it's like a small community of kids...but theres absolute ZERO girls...

  • LOL Back in the day LOTS of girls likied thrash but most were speed freaks! LMFAO

  • I know of no girl who listens to metal at where i live haha.

    the emo scene is plaguing my land.

  • yeah same here... GET ME BACK TO 80's!

  • i want be in the 80's too!!!

  • Tell the emos to cut their wrists harder!! hehe

  • damn that sucks dude. just keep thrashing to forbidden, vio-lence, testament and all the googd thrash basicaly 80's thrash

  • yeah, im into the old school stuff.

    priest maiden vio artillery (:

  • man i wish Forbidden got a little more respect , instead of bands Like My chemical romance , and Panic At the Disco

  • yeah i totally disagree with you cyko, the high vocals is one of the best things about them

  • I'm with you,tehpown. Those high notes along with the gruff vocals are the shit. He can peel the fuckin paint off the wall with those screams. One of their biggest influences was Judas Priest (they cover Victim of Changes), so do the math...

  • I somewhat always thought that the vocals could have been toned down a bit. They were too much like Helloween's singer with all the high pitched stuff. I think that may have been there downfall in not getting into the hard scene, they could be big today if it wasn't for those high vocal screams and sh*t. Just my opinion.....

  • Are you kidding? Those falsetto vocals are what's so great about this band. Otherwise they would just be generic thrash metal band #4535243 in that era

  • There is already no such band now.

    Their speed feeling is especially pleasant.

    It is fantastic and great.

  • This brings back memories of my local band days. I even remember the original line up. Russ, Matt, Creg, paul , and Glen. I grew up in fremont and they were the shit. Party after party. I was there!!!

  • Russ andersons vocals were distinct & Unique in every way! How the fuck he managed to hit those high notes I'll never know! Sheer talent!!!!

  • Welcome To The Church Of Lies

  • This was absolutely THE SHIT in 1990! The guitarists (Glen Alviadis(?) and Craig Locicero) just rip on this whole album, and Russ Anderson's high notes rule.Hard to find, out of print...

  • jesus christ the singer can sing !!!!!

  • Somebody should make the Combat Tour 3: The Ultimate Revenge For EMO, with bands like Destruction, Sodom, etc...

  • man I wished it was 1980 again! I hate this poser nu-metal,emo,gayfag scene! I am 16 years old and I love thrashmetal! why don't we get out guitars and make stuff like this again!! ALL HAIL!!!

  • I 100% agree with you! Thrash is the only way to be!!!

  • Hell yeah...I'm 15 years old...hate emo, metalcore, scene, nu metal...love thrash metal and other types of TRUE metal as well...fortunatly in my area of New Jersey there is a new thrash scene starting to emerge...it's very progressive/technically oriented like Forbidden as well as Coroner, Dark Angel, Watchtower, Heathen, etc...hopefully we can overcome all the emo fags in my town. THRASH FOR LIFE!!

  • I hope it will emerge to a worldwide scene again! I'm already playing death/thrash metal so I hope I can get a job in a band. there is already hope! a friend of mine and his friend love death metal and they play drums and bass so...would be great shit to play with them

  • I'm chilean and I'm also pissed off about seeing those bloody emos and nu metal gay groups, fortunately there are many kick ass true metal bands which remind us metal is still alive even though exists that lot of shit called melodic genres, a simple justification to play gay music with stupid weeping lyrics for fag teenagers, hail true metal!
