Vortex Open The Gate original 1986 Video clip

[FallenAngel333GR]

WOW!!

Cult Hoor Hollanders!!! \m/

[metalonroad]

I remembers the fist Gigs by * Vortex * in Herrstein / Germany in 1985, it was a great Time. This Guys from the NL, let the Metalbats fly forever !!! \m/

[Doobie1975]

What kind of metal did Vortex perform? They remind me of the heavier NWOBHM bands of the early 1980s

[omgw00t]

@Doobie1975

New Wave Of Dutch Heavy Metal

[Zombiepizza88]

0:15, the aliens dropped him off lol

[timninerell]

the singer looks fucking ridiculous, but this is a cool song

[SSHyperborea]

fuckin'great

[TherionSamael]

amazing underrated band,i love so much old school heavy metal clip!! hailz from france!

[RadioactiveDemoncore]

The main theme sounds a lot like Iron Maiden's Powerslave! You deserve(d) the same fame as they have, really.

[mistershrenik]

Most awesome things about this video:

1) The drummer's pants

2) The human femur microphone

3) The fact that the lead singer is dressed as a Harpy Eagle

4) The lead singer's fangs

5) A good old shout out to William of Orange. Every metal song needs one.

[geragna]

2:02 Click. Examine the Bald guy.

[crizzo420]

Wow that was gay.

[EGshlimAJ]

@crizzo420 you mean you are.

[crizzo420]

@EGshlimAJ

Nice comeback. I won't have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

[Clarkito1983]

@crizzo420 But it says it crearly: "Open the gay"!

[macegriffin2]

I have this album (Open the Gate) for sale, very good condition as well. Isn't that nice.

[ameliaclementz]

LOL :D Ahhhhhhhh those sweet memories. I even remember that guy who used to co for amanda reddington at sky's power hour? introducing this video. He said something of the likes that it was sent in by you guys ( dunno how they normally got their vids ) and that eventhough the quality of the video wasnt too good, they were gonna air it anyway :D I even remember being amazed at seeing those motorcycles with dutch plates on em. I was like... omg!? Theyre dutch!?!!?!? LOL! Thanx for uploading this.

[drstrangelight]

Best music video Ive ever seen. Cracking vocals an all.

[mockingbirdmike]

[RaunchyRocker]

[jirokajuji]

This must be the worst crap I've ever heard. HOLY FUCK THIS IS SO BAD :(

Im sorry youtube for my opinion youtube, I'm really sorry

[AeacusVrnm]

@jirokajuji, Bieber fan?

[Doobie1975]

Just the other night I've dreamt about that the bass player was my supervisor at my job and he was a really funny guy with a great personality and he was making the same facial expressions like he did at 2:07 whenever someone wasn't getting their work done!

That was what he did to me when I was off flirting with this hot looking girl at work!

[ruben1704b4mv]

Yeah!

[AfoHT]

Haha :D Epic

[Doobie1975]

At :33 I swear the guy on the very far left looks a lot like Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden

[Doobie1975]

killer guitar solo in the middle, this song seems to get better with every listen and I've listened to this song at least 500 times in the past couple months

[Doobie1975]

Did this band ever do any other music videos?

[bobobosma]

@Doobie1975

No but we want to record a new one for our new album Wat will come out the end of may. Most likely it will be the title track "Drink Bat Blood" . first ideas for a clip are being filtered by the band at the moment.

[cacaprouttralala]

@bobobosma

[puist]

[macegriffin2]

[CommanderSpeedMetal]

VORTEX FUKIN RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doobie1975]

the singer's eyes looks very similar to Dee Snider of Twisted Sister

[antster1983]

It certainly isn't the worst dubbed Dutch film I've seen with a man with a bone in his hand ;o)

[kiranpreet1411]

@antster1983

[MalibuStacy666]

[Bridge1961]

Hey, funny, I was already at the HMM-weekend ! Awesome gig of Vortex !

First time I saw Vortex, also never heard material of' them before although I experienced the time they were successful..

Quite special to see that the clip was made in Bourtange while last weekend some drunk truckdriver destroyed a couple of bridges

[RaunchyRocker]

LOL - yeah but i rocked to this when it came out on headbangers ball _ Sad Bastard !

[SuicietyBoozer]

ahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahha­hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahhaaha

[Rockertje1975]

A friend of me has worked in the Studio in Groningen, (Music Lyrics) for a couple of years, where this song has been recorded.

[wastedbass]

[bobobosma]

Yes something like that, its something the producer wanted to do They told me.

[Doobie1975]

This version is alot different than the album version, was this the single version?

[Doobie1975]

These guys are a Dutch metal band am I correct?

[jks2]

[pedrooo009]

[camillemoss]

I just wet myself

[maraldo77]

oh gawd.......

[iainfuck]

The song is pretty good, but the singer's look dwells somewhere between Eric Carr, that guy from the "Call of the Wintermoon" video with the witch hat, and sharpened teeth-era Dee Snyder.

[Jermyn78]

Boy, this is cheesy as hell...

For some reason, the main riff reminds me of "Powerslave" by Iron Maiden.

[moparcrazy]

yeah it's cheesy, but hey that's what makes it pretty cool IMHO. LOL

[stomp919]

[grindmasterflesh1]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[squishylikesmetal]

i no hes well weird,

can people get other peeps to see this video vortex are so not well known, i cant buy a vortex cd in england :(

[MikeyMcCrashCap]

Try some different MP3 websites. You find find out where to get a Vortex album, simply by typing the artist and the album title, and looking for it on any search engine. Also try eBay, gemm-com, OR go to vibrationsofdoom-com, look under CLASSIC ALBUMS, and you can listen to the Metal Bats(1985) EP, and the Open The Gates(1986) LP!. There is also a way to get VORTEX on CD, from VOD, if you can't get it anywhere else LP! :)

[squishylikesmetal]

thanks a lot man but i use limewire and it doesnt has votex onnit, but i got a bit on the vortex myspace
