TORA TORA - walkin' shoes

[509Supercharger]

This must be heard on 11. This band was the real deal.....kinda like Skid Row's first couple albums. Great shit.

[oplivecrime206]

tell u what. bands like these always had the best lookin women. Yikes. Blonde chick here is smokin

[samboy1288]

sounds kinda like white lion meets tesla. not as tough as tesla, definitely tougher than white lion. not all that original, but these guys deserved their brief MTV spotlight, especially when you consider hair metal wasn't much of a big deal in memphis

[radarvc35]

@samboy1288 Dont know where you are from but I am from Memphis and this kind of music was pretty big, I know because I was there listening to it and watching it!

[samboy1288]

@radarvc35 im from massachusetts... i always thought hair metal was more of a sunset strip thing primarily

[TheRockmom1]

ANOTHER WAY UNDERRATED BAND FROM THIS ERA!!!!! GREAT STUFF...

[Omdog1000]

the song song kicked ass, the whole album kicked ass, and the bassist is wearing a krokus t-shirt.....

[typeonegative2010]

Good fun rock. Before the grunge shitstorm.

[mst3killer]

Is the girl in the video nicole eggert ?

[Beaucairn]

Oh my gosh!!!! Love this song. Miss them. Where are they???

[huge81supporter]

[hiroyukiohn]

[MEGAHAMSTERGAMER]

i love the 80's :D



[joel70228]

this song really grooves,all I know is one thing... Im PUTTIN ON MY WALKIN SHOES!!!!!

[axltyler]

sounds like it could be a great white song.

[pineravision]

great band but criminally underrated :C

[UnderxHorror]

So underrated :(

[84lukeduke]

dont know who the guiter player is he young he rocks



[wadscardear]

the sound needs to be redone. its too quiet & shifts from side to side.

[loreannawitch]

bizim türklerin bu gruptan tek bildiği.

[Laynefreeborn]

THERES A THOUSAND OTHERS PLACES THAT I'D RATHER BE!!!!!!

[sixstringvoodoo]

No more talkin,it's time I started walkin!!! bitch!!!

[byrddogx]

Tora Tora released a new album in 2011 named 'Revolution Day'. Its just as incredible! You can get it on Amazon.com

[tomcamp6023]

My favorite. BLUESY ROCK!!!

[1926fordtv]

i used to love this song!!! so much trakes me back!



[sean44mares]

@1926fordtv me too

[JoltinDjango]

I was in a band in Memphis about the time these guys had their 15 minutes. If I remember the story right, the chick in the video was one of the member's girlfriend. She was 16 when the video was filmed.

[bmibaby123456]

i want the leather jacket :(

[wangdangish]

This band came out of Memphis and I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert in their home town,stoned to the bone , by the way.

[aurosne]

If you grew up in 80's these are things you will always remeber. Ludwig drums, Ibanez guitars, Sony walkmans, Casette Tapes with a pullout inner jacket with pics, lyrics, etc... Kelly LaBrock, the Breakfast Club, Gi Joe, Pac-man, Mtv when it wasn't for posers. Jacket back patches, Hi-tops, Jams, Parachute pants.. ..........................

[sylvesterlowery]

@aurosne I remember all of that! and I'm only 33, LOL! And I play Ibanez guitars almost exclusively!

[Maharg23]

@aurosne I cant deny I love the internet and the modern tv stuff but you nor I will ever see this great brand of music again. Sad to say but true.

[aurosne]

Whatever happen to the guitar player? Anyone?

[stringbender11672]

does anyone know what kind of guitar the old black dude sittin on the porch is holding??? i've seen that guitar in a bunch of videos here lately and it's bugging the hell out of me. thanx.



[maybelooking]

May 24th in Southaven Mississippi. LIVE SHOW Tora Tora, Whitesnake, and Every Mothers Nightmare. CANT WAIT. GONNA BE AWESOME....!!!!!!!!!

[aerafel]

@maybelooking I'm going to that too! I love all three bands, but more excited about Tora Tora than the others. Can't wait!!!

[maybelooking]

@aerafel cool man. I actually got FRONT ROW. I cant believe I got that lucky. Will be my very first front row seat ever at a concert.

[maybelooking]

@aerafel hope you enjoyed the show man. it was AWESOME. My first band back when I was in my early teens had Travis Hall from EMN as the guitar player. Hes gone a long way with music. Every band sounded great.

[KJYtheSINGER]

I love this song!!

[mrglenn66]

yeah, it's a shame that a few really good rockers got lost in the hair band whirlwind. Tora Tora, Tangier, Slaughter, Great White, etc.

[jeromedwayne]

GREAT SONG LOVE IT

[weebles777]

This was one of the best bands of the 80's, yet many people never heard of them.

[kixr4kids1981]

THUMBS UP IF U THINK THE CHICKS THE MAIN ATTRACTION OF THE VIDEO :)

[AwWDesignZ]

that chick is smokin hot !

[bell677]

the best song ever are the coming back soon

[fockewolf6]

reminds me making a mess skid row:)

[FADE2BLACK731]

Love this song!!! Btw, did anyone caught the chick's dress fly up when she was walking down the steps?...lol About at the 3:07 mark.

[MegaMUFDVR]

@FADE2BLACK731 Now that's the 80's!

[84lukeduke]

@MegaMUFDVR i agree love the 80s the guitar player kicks ass

[octaviusmaxx]

harley is right - rap has toxified music and our society. Bunch a no talent Black Trash(for lack of a better word)

[Fleaglesan]

this song would make it on the charts today.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

GOOD OL' ROCK & ROLL!!!!

[HEIGHTSTUNE1]

I saw them play in Memphis, TN before the first album. Great music even today. Songs bring me back to those rocking days.

[pekoe]

anthony an me 1990

[FiberOpticChronic]

i seen these niggas at spanky's in st.paul, they tore the place up. mustta been nineteen freekin 92. wow, can you say bulletboys

[wayguitar69]

One band I was in played like 2 or 3 songs off the 1st album(our singer wasnt quite up there, but had the right feel anyways,lol), people were like-Tora who? But they liked it.

[DelawareDuff]

I saw them live at HammerJack's in Baltimore MD about the time their album came out. Amazing show !! Still rocks today !

[1REDDAWN13]

@DelawareDuff Hello, have you lived in the area HammerJack's in Baltimore MD for a long. The reason I ask is years ago I was in the area and saw White lion there with some friends. Now many years later no one can remember who opened that night. I know its a long shot but hay. Hope your were there and seen the show as well....the time frame would have been 91-92ish...thanx

[watergraphics]

Find their label on facebook FnA Records

[watergraphics]

become a fan:

[shrecordings]

killer

[MrBoomMonkey]

they have started touring the us

[WermGut]

Waaaaay underrated! Band had a Fastway feel, which was pretty awesome.  Favorite part of video is @3:09 ;)

[matttheking]

Saw them at the Clifton Park Arena near Albany, NY way back when (maybe like '88?). I think it was them, Dangerous Toys and L.A. Guns. This song kicked ass live. Great rock and roll song.

[Alexandernero666]

Good to hear this song again! Why can't bands just make stripped down rock n roll anymore? I mean Buckcherry is alright but not quite as raw.

[Trevor23march1984]

what kind ibanez in this video?

[RudeRaptor]

@Trevor23march1984 its a RG series

[Trevor23march1984]

@RudeRaptor

))Which?

[Trevor23march1984]

@RudeRaptor

))Which?

[RudeRaptor]

@Trevor23march1984 I'm NOT 100% positive but noticing it has shark teeth inlays I think it's an Ibanez RG770

[supertje]

I loved this band back when they came out.. They were great.

[JboCapone]

These guys used to throw some great parties back in good ol' Collierville TN. They set up in some dude's barn and jammed every weekend to a bunch of people.

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

Just found the unrelease Wild America songs and Surprise Attack songs for sale 21 songs I have never heard!!!!! On the way to my house as I type this!!!!!! 

[ddgrames]

saw theses guys with alice copper 1985 cobo hall kickass show.

[YokeDriver]

Vol 10, check! Ears bleeding, check! Good times.

[xineruas]

Nice band,isn`t.

[newdez1346]

Yeah these guys came out at the tail end of hair band greatness. If they would have hit the scene 5 years earlier they would have been huge. The whole album kicked some serious ass!!

[SNODISTURBED23]

FUKIN RITE MAN ANTHONY IS A GROOVY SOUNDIN SINGER GROOVY METAL IS SENSUAL FORALWAYS 1988 OR 2010

[jhiggins95]

Hehe.. I'm friends with Anthony... Kind of.

[pekoe]

@jhiggins9Yea I as FRIENDLY with him to hahah

[jeffthrow6892]

Damn.....Haven't heard this in years, STILL sounds great!!! Is that R.L. Burnside??

[rene651000]

@jeffthrow6892 i knew these guys back in the 80's my friend amy dated Patric lead singer and they were so cool they played Mud Island one night and we had a blast i have to figure out how to email this to her. we went to Mollies La casita after the show and meet his parents. it was greart! I miss this music so mudh!! Thankz for keepin it alive!

[Ashleigh24]

@rene651000 Patrick is the bassist, not the lead singer.

[shaggytars]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar the black guy on the porch is playing?

[rene651000]

@shaggytars hahahahahahaaha

[shaggytars]

@rene651000 hahaha yourself stupid.. i still wanna know what that guitar is at the end you dumb bitch

[rene651000]

@shaggytars sorry you have such a potty mouth and u are obviously confused when u call me a bitch . the guitar is custom made. and now that you were rude to me find out somewhere else peace

[shaggytars]

@rene651000 yes because instead of a comment all you did was laugh. so no i wasnt confused when calling you a dumb bitch, next time answer the question or stfu. If its custom made.. say that in the first place instead of leaving a dumb ass remark of hahahahahahaha..

[tlorenzi111788]

Amazing song to rock out too! Check out the cover I did a couple days ago of this song and tell me what you think all you 80's tora tora fans :)

xoxoxo

Tiffany

[PALMYRA73]

just saw these guys play look older but sound so good

[CrashmagFilms]

I still rock to this Album

[DelightfullyDark]

they are better than all these bands hanging on lol

l

[MerryBathCelestial]

perfect memphis metal for hot afternoons on a tiny yacht floating a few miles from shore. enjoying Jonnny black, Jack n coke, and sampling the local tuna.....Tora Tora yeah, she's a hot lookin' video vixen, 3 minutes and 9 seconds is the best part of their video, memphis metal delivers....

[orimabu]

Nicki Minaj produces way better music than this crap

[KL250A]

This band kicked ass! Their average age was supposed to be something like 17 when this came out. I agree, TRUTHbe4yourEYES. The second album is good, also. I read there was a third one that they didn't ever finish or release.

[chriscocamino]

Way underrated! I saw these guys at the Palace in Hollywood way back in the day. They opened up for LA GUNS! Dangerous Toys was before them and it was a fuckin party. My kids listen to this now.

[HarpoSpoke]

Awesome song. One of the few bands that really didn't fit into the "hair band" category even though they had the look.

The girl in the video is amazing too. She makes the video worth viewing over and over.

[slave2thenight23]

the album cover was hot...who need playboy

[pickafire]

dude. lovely

[nazb2]

good song!! beauty girl on video!!!

[Nfms1too]

mmmmm mmmmmm

[nitrofumes]

I remember buying this album....just great rock !

[Mydrumclub65]

Oh ' Yea that is matts cus on vocals

[Mydrumclub65]

Or Matt been blowing smoke up are AZ then .

he actually told me he did play with yall ..and Yall are playing agin ...with him ...I am not with matt any more ,Cause of one thing .The music that we trying to play .Just wasn't my type of music ......

[GlamorousDarkness]

This band and Dangerous Toys. I had so much faith that they would be huge but I was wrong. They are still awesome and underrated to me!

[drjuancarlosvega2]

@GlamorousDarkness

I saw both of the them open for LA Guns in 1990.

[wbrian1966]

The concert on the 6th was AWESOME!!!!

[Crashmagproductions1]

Best Metal Album of all time, the whole thing kicks ass

[cinemetal1]

@Crashmagproductions1, I dig the song and band (though I prefer Wild America), but this isn't metal in any way, shape or form. Hard rock, thank you very much.

[rcknrllgrl7]

I can NOT wait to go see them Saturday March 6th. They still ROCK!!

[bedlaminbelgiumroxzz]

What is happening on the sixth? By the way, my girlfriend loves this song.

[jvilseckjr]

@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz They are playing in Memphis March 6th

[FiberOpticCronic]

seen em in cancert at spanky's in st.paul minesota in the 90's.. was great

[chasadie06]

can't wait till the 6th.. rock on brothers.

[Mydrumclub65]

We had a just a jam session with the Only one of the guitarest in the band ,Not to long ago ....NO it wasn't The band here .We just a guitar player from the band that actauly played with Us for awhile ....Some thing i thought i wanna to do ...But it wasn't ,So i left ....This is my Own Comment to my post here ..Name was Matt ..He was the Origianl guitar player in the band

[robmacdaddy]

@Mydrumclub65 keith douglass is the original guitarist with tora tora and the guy in this video... ... don't know who matt is but he's not the original tora guitar player..

[gray7186]

dont know where u gots the vid from but its good ass quality and yes its a good song too

[smoke2099]

Great MEMPHIS band!!!

[maxxmann34]

F'n Rocks...

[GasolinaDiet]

muito foda esse som... véi... pena que estou conhecendo esta banda hoje... e sem querer, porque tem uma banda brasileira chamada Raimundos que tem uma música chamada Tora Tora... e sem querer eu digitei o nome da música e apareceu esta banda... e coloquei para ver o que era... e achei muito foda mesmo... já estou baixando uns vídeos e alguns cd's desta banda... abraço...

[lambertearnhardt68]

This is one of the bands that got caught in all the "Hair" flying around during that time but they were really good. You can tell this band was genuinely blues influenced as opposed to Poison who tried to sound bluesy and failed miserably. That is why I can still listen to this band 20 years later and cant stand anything by Poison.

[weebles777]

@lambertearnhardt68 agreed.

[bshane84]

@lambertearnhardt68 I totally agree. I still listen to this material too. Great Music.

[satchbooggy]

good stuff..kinda reminds me of dangerous toys a little

[lucioGaisfordg]

i downloaded playstation 3 games free on my PC. Google "ps3 zappy download" and click the first link. It's a excellent site! All the latest ps3 games are there for download on the "ps3 zappy download" site!

[ROCKDRIGOSORTINO]

AWESOME

[Mydrumclub65]

Tora Tora {Rock's} "

I knew the Band real well back then ,,,,

Just lost contac to each other

[fuckingsob]

One of my top ten favorite tracks ever, no doubt about it. I jam this every time I hear it and it's just as loud the 1,000th time 15 years later as it was the very first time.

[SurroundedByIdiots07]

@fuckingsob MINE TOO!!

[tomcamp6023]

Love this track. Jammed this tune back in the day. Jamming it now as a matter of fact. Rock on. TORA TORA. Check out dangerous toys song teasin pleasin . Same kind of southern rock

[shitstaineddrawers]

My Apologies for the ass that posted with my account below. I deleted the post. Sorry HarleyLuvrable. (I RIDE A 09 HD ROCKER BY THE WAY)

[dvwtp]

This was just a great sounding band! I just love the blues cords. This is one of my got to have albums, glad I have it!!!!

[80smetalking3]

damn good band !!! snapped up by a country label trying to cash in on the hair band thing. right time, wrong place, wrong promotion. hell of a band though!!!

[harleyluvrable]

This was also back when Rock n Roll was in, then crap, I mean rap hit the airwaves and everyhing civilized went out the window. That shit fucked up society and I don't care who it pisses off that I said this. IT'S TRUE.

[Wombat66614]

You are correct my truth telling friend!!

[Priestking1000]

@harleyluvrable There are still rock and roll band out there..new ones picking up the baton, The Itch, The Poodles, Vega, Scream Arena, Dynazty........rock on.

[harleyluvrable]

AWESOME !!!!

[harleyluvrable]

Me and my little brother used to give it hell down in Texas in the good old Bible belt listening to stuff like this and man the memeories it brings back. Great songs to this very day even still !

[ECOOL76]

[SgtFoster]

[TRUTHbe4yourEYES]

Most under rated band that ever lived, love every song on this album

[jeremy660]

Yep, and Phantom Rider is one of the best ballads of all times.

[harleyluvrable]

Especially if you ride a Harley, takes on a whole new meaning.

[Crashmagproductions1]

@TRUTHbe4yourEYES So true

[normajean5150]

@TRUTHbe4yourEYES yes, you are so right. i just heard this song randomly a few weeks ago after all these years and i JAMMED! these guys were so bluesy and cool. they got overlooked hard. wonder what they are up to now...

[wingnumba1]

@TRUTHbe4yourEYES

Youuuuuu got that right...I totally agree.

[wingnumba1]

@TRUTHbe4yourEYES

You got that right...I totally agree.

[shitstaineddrawers]
