I can't believe all the people just kind of standing around. That would have been one the best times of my life had I been there. I agree, way underrated.
midnight is a god, he's my idol, i want to sound like him as a singer, pure strength and soul, i want to blow every fucker away just like he did with his voice, RIP mate you were and still are an inspiration
When I was a kid I got to be back stage and see Crimson glory. My aunt dated their manager and when other kids were listening to mc hammer and vanilla ice I was listening to CG and Saigon Kick. I remember it was loud but very clear, they always sounded good.
Awesome band. Bought the Transcendance cd back when released in '88/89 after a review in Metal Forces, they gave it 10/10 if I recall. Midnight's voice always amazed me. A great talent and a great loss.
@skysoalive Lost Horizon played Red Sharks as an encore when I saw them play live in Stockholm 2003. They were great and you're right about Heiman, he blew me away.
You're so lucky man! Never saw this great band, now I'll never get to see Midnight. However thinking about getting a flight down to Atlanta,GA in Sept. to see them.
Please check out my profile and take a listen to the tribute song we did "Red Sharks" for Crimson Glory a few months back for an upcoming tribute CD. It saddens me that Midnight will not hear it...RIP Brotha---you were an inspiration to me and I am sure many many other vocalists
Sad day for metal.....thank you Midnight for all the great music. Great band that should have been bigger but I'm just happy to have the pleasure of hearing them.
..they should have been huge....instead of some shitty bands that go to the top of the charts....but this is the way it is....excellent music is seldom for masses......the stars werent aligned or whatever...who knows......maybe was their(band members) fault too
I saw these guys in Houston Texas for the Transcendence tour, My girlfriend and I were Xing and the concert was kickass, I wish I would have been straight for the show, I remember the guy guitarist on our left was totally pissed after the show because the crowd wasn't rowdy enough for him, I guess the whole crowd was on the same drugs I was!!!!
I hate these guys for pissing away their careers. They may never have gotten really mega, but they would have reached quite a bit. Kills me that they didn't stick together... (And yes, I like Strange and Beutiful)
Considering when this was written, communism was pretty much a synonym to the soviet state. I'm sure you would have loved living there, everyone was so free to express opinions or live life without the fear of persecution, torture and death... not.
Your comment brought tears to my eyes, my friend!!I
I saw Crimson Glory in London in the late '80s and to me, it was a gig, as any other, but to read your comment, it made me realise that, it's memories that are more important than any material wealth!
I dont want to sound like an old man, but..Enjoy your youth!!!!!
There's some fine music coming out of Scandinavia at the moment, but if you like 80's progressive you cant go wrong with Queensryche's The Warning and Operation Mindcrime (I'm sure you know that)...........but make sure you check out Dimmu Borgir (they are fucking BRILLIANT!!!!!!), Ensiferum, Children of Bodom when they play near to you!!!

i just want to say that i don't lack of intelligence, otherwise i wouldn't be able to troll my way into this video and force you to write responses to my trolling. you should just clicked on the thumb down and waited for my comment to disappear. next time someone trolls on your favorite videos, just thumb em down. don't respond, coz that's what we want you to do.
Trolling?That's what you call it?I call it pathetic people looking for attention.And your big payoff is when someone responds to you?You really set your sights high,that would really make my day.And how do you just stumble onto a video like this,what do you do sit around thinking what video can I go talk a bunch of shit on and hope some random person responds to me?

ahahaha. I really want to know what kind of shit do you listen!
Transcendence is a milestone of metal! You can also hear that they don't made properly progressive metal, but they made a sort of fusion between US power and progressive, they cannot be compared to shitty bands like dream theater or similar!
Agreed. I never saw CG as a prog rock band, more of a power metal band. Unfortunately I never got to se them which is a real bummer. I'm 41 now but still love this stuff! Yep, Old Fucker lol!!!!
i was in the columbia house tape club when i received 'Transcendence'. granted, i'm a black metal/thrash fan but i've always dug Crimson Glory. so good to see live footage
What does he say in the beginning about communism? What does the song have to do with it? I can't really get into the meaning of the lyrics so plz somebody explain
i listened to some Midnight's new song on Myspace....and he sings fantastic...has really a celestial voice.....Trascendence is awesome..i like the most songs nomber 2,3...and 7....
to bad these guys aren't still tearing it up. transcendence is one of the baddest metal albums ever. from start to finish it totally rips. midnight's one of the wickedest metal vocalists ever.
