Ann Wilson is THE diva of rock and roll - bar none. The power of her voice here is literally knocking me out of my chair! The hair on the back of my neck is standing up. Ann's last note is from another planet! Listen carefully - even Nancy is blown away by that last primal scream. At 4:12, Nancy goes "WHOA!" Hear it?
If you listen to the lyrics on the original it would be very clear. Heart cleaned up the lyrics so it would be more commercial. Heart turned it into a metal song, but the original was much darker lyrically.
Well, the "II" is 2 in roman letters/numbers, and also the way it's written on the CD (yes, I own it). I actually think that the II/2 is because it's a cover (originally DalBello) and slightly changed from that version.
Do you mean the talking before the song starts as one of the two songs?
I LOooove this one!!. I saw them live in my town!. When this song and album..Desire walks on..came out!!. Thanks for sharing this!. Brings back memories!.
This was recorded live at bad animals studio. it was the album release party broadcast on a seattle radio station (i forgot which one). I was home listening and wishing I was there!!! Ah Seattle in the good ole days.
Barracuda was my favorite Heart kick ass song until I bought their ultimate greatest hits cd and heard this song. This song makes me wanna put on some black leather and boots and kick ass while taking names. I blast this from my cd player when I am driving. Rock on Heart, rock on!!!!
Couldn't agree more. This song is like a wild adrenaline rush. I use to play it while working out. If this doesn't get your blood pumping, you're probably in a coma.
Man, I loved this song when the album first dropped. The real jewel off the record, imho, is the song with Layne on it . . . Ring Them Bells I believe.
If you've never heard this song before, listen to it on cd (studio version), and crank it up, it's unreal how she sings it. Just saw them live again, Ann sings as awesome as ever. Plus they did John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, The Who, and all great versions. They have great taste in music.
My 13-year old daughter absolutely LOVES this song, as do I. What an incredible tune! If you get a chance, read the little pamphlet in the CD for this song and album.
I know this song is Black on Black II(2), but what did Black on Black sound like? By the way, great sound quality for a live bootleg. Got anymore from this tour?
Dalbello orignally recorded Black on Black. You can find this version on the 9 1/2 weeks Soundtrack. The lyrics are more mature then the Heart version, and the music is more synth then hard rock. Good stuff. Each version stands on their own.
FANTASTIC !!!! Rock on Heart ---- Rock on SEATTLE, WASHINGTON !!!!!!

This could have been called "The Priest with Two Backs" if it weren't for censorship being so prevalent in rock.
Can't understand why Heart would want to turn Lisa's disturbing Catholic Paedophilic Orgy into a fucking Ann Summers Party .
They never bettered "Dog and Butterfly". Still remains in my top ten albums of female vocalists of all time.

This was written by Lisa DelBello from Montreal, they also covered her song "Gonna Get Close To You" and "Wait For An Answer"
