[anthonymhill]

[Puttingonthehits1]

One of my all time favs!!



[dokken447]

suck it cuts off at the end : /

[Zisi1000]

if theres a tear in my eye...its not for you

[defleppard741]

fuckin great song. i wonder what Harry Cody is doing nowadays or if he's even alive :P this song makes me think of heartbreak in a more positive way because if the bitch broke your heart its their fault not yours (its their loss). dont blame yourself for something that someone else did :)

[bigfatoilyguy]

harry cody, great guitarist, terrible haircut

[judyatbc]

way late on the comments, keep 'em comin'. real needs a come back

[TheSwedishRocker99]

tim ain't that good at singing

[gonlaz]

great vid except the cut off at the end

[mcSylt]

super sexy! cool beat, mega quitar solo, thats what 80's was all about!

[orkdung]

Yup Harry Cody is still in LA and is writing jingles. Shotgun Messiah was Titan that never got its just desserts.

[shlepprock]

I saw them live in San Diego sometime in the early 90s...Harry Cody was just tremendous. So fluid and melodic, and his tone was huge. He used pinch harmonics really aggressively. Great player; I hope he re-surfaces.

[rockerjt]

Harry Cody was amazing. Love his note choices on the solo here. Harry, if you are out there, come out of retirement and grace us with your talent again.

[ilikebigmike1]

@rockerjt Agreed 100%

[jamieburkey]

one of the first fuck you power ballads enuff said

[catrod24]

This was probably the last band that ever signed a record deal that knew how to actually sing a song and play their own instruments.

[thestrawhead]

Bizzarre that a huge fan of rock as a drummer, I share this song with two of my friends as the best slow guitar solo ever. Harry, you can play.......and I wish I had more of this!

[rolex925]

Harry Cody is the baddest,most overlooked guitar player.He also had the sweetest tone on this album.

[KaorusHYDRA]

What ever happened to Cody??

[TheCaptainmarmalade]

i have to agree this is a song about some dude who is destroyed and is putting up smoke and mirrors that hes just fine....hes not, i mean if it doesnt bother you why write a song?

[cnvw974]

This song help me get over a high school girlfriend!! LMAO!

[DominicJ0nes]

i cant understand why a cool glam metal singer/bassist turns to e goth/thrash/emo/hardcore metal bassist

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@DominicJ0nes marilyn manson is neither goth/trash/emo ....he doesnt belong to 1 genre of rock ...u could hardly say hes even industrial/alternative ....i guess alternative is best suited ....emo is shit anywayz ....marilyn manson was more "emo" before the age of emo kids ....

[kmyhzyl]

@sidewaysfcs0718 fuck you are you kidding you'r an ignorant

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@kmyhzyl if u think manson is emo u are ignorant not me ...learn to not judge artists by their fucking looks.

[kmyhzyl]

@sidewaysfcs0718 WWWTTTTTFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! id never said that manson was emo!! i don't remember what you comment, but i never say that so  .l.

[Shaunyrawrs]

song and a half. cannot download this anywhere! ARGH!

[mcdrummonkey]

@Shaunyrawrs chek on lime wire =)

[Shaunyrawrs]

@mcdrummonkey ive tried,  can only get Heartbreak Blvd, and Ride the Storm on there! :(

[mcdrummonkey]

@Shaunyrawrs try again dude just not even an housr ago i got dont care about nuthin bop city and qute a few others

[bpb2681]

all of you are idiots!!! Listen to Meagnsmith, this isn't a break up song... it's a broken heart song... This guy lost the love of his life, i can't imagine what would happen if i lost my love. Just watch closely and you'll see the pictures.

[IxMAKExUxGOxLOL]

@bpb2681 Yeah, I bet it is. The line ''If there's a tear in my eye, it's not for you. Don't flatter yourself.'' really just screams broken hearted.

This is a 'fuck you' song to the person he loved, who I presume cheated on him or betrayed him in one way or another.

[meagnsmith]

the main singer in this song is my father. I would really like to know who put his songs on you tube. he never thought that people liked his song. He wrote this song for a women that he was engaged to and she died in a car crash.

[IxMAKExUxGOxLOL]

@meagnsmith Your dad is Tim Skold? Bull-fucking-shit.

[fpgjr1006]

Awesome song, I saw them in San Antonio, Texas in the early 90's! And guitar is not a Gibson, it appears like an original Taylor 815 Jumbo 12 string (see pick guard, cutaway and headstock)! And whoever still has it, sure has a great collectible guitar.

[tajof55]

about his hair, blame it to marilyn "freak" mansion

[satanlovespie666]

@tajof55 lol mansion

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@tajof55 his hair was short before he joined manson ...only thing that changed was makeup :D

[maveric319]

Gotta love the warm oversized Gibson solo! ahhh.... memories, I"M OLD!

[aaronbb1973]

I remember when this song first came out. My buddy sent for it, It was a free demo advertisement in Metal Edge. That was 18 years ago. I was 18 and in love for the first time with my first love. I still miss her. I don't know what I would do if I ever seen her again. My heart would prolly jump out in my hands. I still love that woman. We have a kid together.

[aaronbb1973]

This song brings back memories from the past bitch's that I had. It is a good break up song. The song is true to some of my ex's.

[gtrshekgod]

Definetly my favorite"G,C,D " song from back in the day

[APRIL9497]

I Love this song. Listening to this song brings back memories of love lost, and forgotten love. and Broken promises.

[carolagunsnrose]

beautiful song!!

[Wish2em]

awesome 80'S gLAM!

[Monica1C3]

I've always LOVED this song! I didn't hear of them until after tim Skold took over vocals from base. It's funny to see the vid now because I'm not used to seeing rockers under age 40 anymore.. :-/

"Lock the door and cut the lights

I won't be coming home tonight"

I love his southern accent.

[jscrpio1]

damn song cuts off at the end

[tinselcleo]

wow...hadn't seen this in forever...luv it!

[TigertailzBezerk]

Havent listened to this song in like a year, Brings back alot of memories... I remember Jammin it like 10 times a day last year... Good times ! Needless to say - Harrys solo is epic ! Really underrated guitarist he is...

[JONNEAARONILOVEYOU]

[motleycrue24]

skold use to have the coolest fuckin hair why did he cut it off

[fishermangonewild]

@motleycrue24 cause he thought marilyn manson was sexy

[laspapisdelrollo]

Classic song. I agree with you Dnomyte.

[Acekicken]

[BoxKross]

This is the best song on the world

[DNOMYTE]

quick somebody make a petition for skold to get back with Harry Cody and Stixx to reform SM!! B4 ITS TOO LATE!!

[motleycrue24]

i love the lyrics for this... shotgun messiah rule i wish they got more reconization

[eze14213]

whatever happen to 97.7 hits fm anybody or 103.3 the fox

[mmidascp]

seen this band twice and they rocked both times. second coming is a killer rock album even 16 years later

[Latrodecta]

OMG... is that Tim? Dont even regonize him! Nothing like when I saw him live with Marilyn Manson! O.o

[badluckshadow13]

All his stuff with Manson was pretty awful (I'm a Manson fan as well as a Skold fan)

[taterbugcass94]

this is one of my favorite SM songs. This and Heartbreak Boulevard.

[weedfan]

goggle sucks

[FAUSTIANDAWN]

Harry Rules on this Album and the last 2.

[sastein34]

Harry Cody was awesome. What are you doing now Harry?

[sastein34]

The singer in this band on this album "Tim Skold" went on to be in KMFDM and then the bass player for Maryln Manson.

[badluckshadow13]

He recently quit Manson, he's doing stuff with KMFDM again.

[mobscene9305]

Why doesn't her reform SM?!

[badluckshadow13]

He's working with KMFDM again.

They're doing SKold vs. KMFDM.

[mobscene9305]

Meh. KMFDM make me wanna shoot at schools.

[badluckshadow13]

*twitches* please never speak again.

[mobscene9305]

=D Why be tasteful when being krass is so much fun?

[badluckshadow13]

:D Well you've got me there.

[mobscene9305]

Yay!

[justin0185]

this is my second song that ive heard by these guys. im 19 and i like this song. im just trying to figure out what happened to the original singer cuz i know the blonde dude was the bassist and some guy with black hair sang. their glam stuff is amazing, glad i clicked on the link

[brennoncadams]

Zinny Zan was the original singer. He left the band for musical differences because it was taking a turn towards industrial music. Zinny moved on and formed the band Zan Clan which is a glam band. The bassists name is Tim Skold by the way.

[justin0185]

sweet another band for me to look up. thanks for the info anything else i should know about? i noticed that the guitarist was different to

[brennoncadams]

The guitarist is the same, just a different hair cut. The guitarist is Harry K. Cody and he stuck with the band the whole way through. Bobby Lycon took over on bass when Zinny left and Tim Tim took over vocals. On the third album the only orginal members were Tim Tim and Harry K and everyone else was brought in for live performances except Ulf who helped with the programming on the album.

[dcmpriory]

hmmm not sure those are the reasons why. The industrial element didnt really come in till the third album 'Violent New Breed' (thank the lord it did) and this is the second album - already without Zinny.

[brennoncadams]

The industrial was beginning to phase it's way in on the second album. Zinny left for musical differences because he felt he would do better in glam than the rock/industrial turn the band was beginning to take.

[OmaxxO]

Not true. There are plenty of interviews with both sides on the web, and they all say that Zinny was fired. Sometimes Zinny cites "friction" with Tim and Harry, sometimes he says he has no idea why he was fired.

[brennoncadams]

Ummm? Where is this? Zinny was never fired. The band members respected each other too much to even call it that. They called it a "parting"

[OmaxxO]

There's this cool thing called "Google". If you type in "zinny zan", the second thing that comes up is an interview he did with SleazeRoxx where he says "Shotgun sacked me".

There are plenty of other interviews, but you'll have to go through them yourself.

[dcmpriory]

Industrial phase in on 2nd album! I cannot see anywhere on 'Second Coming' where there is an industrial influence. If anything, with songs like Babylon & Cant fool me it has a punk edge to it. This is supported by the fact that inbetween the 2nd and third albums there was an ep called 'I want more' which had some songs from second coming and some punk covers. Sorry dude.....but if Second Coming was meant to be industrial it failed big time....but succeeded as a true master piece anyhow.....

[brennoncadams]

It didn't fail at all. I said taking a turn towards it. I never said full on industrial. It has it's industrial side to a certain extent.

[thunders5291]

These guys,another underrated band to add to the list.Thank god for youtube!

[Akatsuk1Leader]

they have all cool hairs xD

[StarGroupie007]

"you seemed so innocent, you had me blinded. what good is all your beauty if there's nothing behind it?" <-- amen!!

[Crvette772000]

Such a true song!! All those promises and you can still walk away...if there's a tear in my eye it's not for you....don't flatter yourself!!

[pissinyourneck]

trummisen pekka ollinen bor i stöpen :) västragötaland. känner honom :)

[r0ckf0rlif3]

It's allways cool wearing make-ups and use hairspray and I don't think anyone says something from that I mean hey it's BEST kind of music there's been. And rock'n roll for ever. :)

[dirtStigge]

ok på så vis, jo skold spelar väl med manson nu tyckte jag att jag luskade ut :D

[kimo1371]

harry cody kicks all your asses....

[dirtStigge]

shotgun messiah really do thier shit good no matter how gay or straight you are:P its just fucking music no fucking asses:D

are they swe

isåfall vart var dom ifrån?

[sixxtomars]

ingen aning, tror harry kommer från skövde, men de flyttade ju till hollywood på 80-talet...

[vikingrich]

All those negs and all it means is that the truth hurts bitches.

[RockDragon90]

the vocalist is nice :D great song!

[Viola1Chu]

is Tim Skold from Marilyn Manson!!  he leaves in marilyn manson-this is the new shit and more...

[TigertailzBezerk]

I always find myself rewinding the song to listen to Harrys solo over and over again, its like a song within a song, man this band was one of a kind ! and Tims Voice is amazing !

[vikingrich]

Now I know why I couldn't get into them back in the day.

His voice blows.

[b00rn2kill2]

It doesn't blow, however, compared to his modern voice it does sound much worse here. Probably singin more made his voice develop.

[vikingrich]

I wouldn't listen to his modern voice if you paid me, so I guess i'm stuck on this. It's awful for a ballad.

he's just a genre jumping trend chaser anyways. He'll do what's in.

[shortyxO29]

agreed.

[vikingrich]

I got a neg, but all I said was the truth. he jumps genres. No matter how many thumbs down you homos give me, I will still be right.

[OmaxxO]

So you like to go where you think homos hang out, and then draw attention to yourself... what does that make you?

Look, this is neither the time nor the place for you to come out of the closet. Get back in.

[vikingrich]

You just called yourself a homo.

[OmaxxO]

"...where YOU THINK homos hang out..."

Nice try, but don't argue until you learn reading comprehension, cupcake.

[vikingrich]

I don't think homos hang out here, this is youtube, nobody is really hanging out here.

i'm sorry i hurt your feelings ragging on your boyfriend. he's a trend jumper, nothing you can really do about it. All the "I know you are but what am I" jokes will never change that.

[OmaxxO]

You're the one who brought up the gay thing.

I think you have a secret ;)

[vikingrich]

I know you are but what am I.

3rd grade shit, bro. Get something good next time.

[OmaxxO]

We get it. Your boyfriend has a crush on Tim. Get over it already.

I know your type... if you don't get the last word, you'll never get another good night's sleep. I'll let you have it. Go ahead, grace us with another witless remark.

[vikingrich]

I know you are, but what am I?

You talk about reading comprehension, but fail to realize I was calling whoever negged me a homo, not everybody. Then you got your panties in a bunch. Usually people who get so upset over being called a homo, usually are.

[erniepoop]

this video is kind of between the glam metal ballad, and a "grunge" rock thing. he's got the flannel, the accoustic guitar, etc. I like the KMFDM time skold the best, and also the golden age of grotesque

[CountStoczkowski]

"what good is all your beauty, if there's nothing behind it" the best line ever written.

[b00rn2kill2]

Damn, love when that heavy drum beat comes in.

[zedasson]

this kindam muzic makes me a proud swede

[HoffaToffla]

This rocks!! We Swede people are very professional and famous with our Sleaze rock :)

[tommyleeselbow]

This is the best 'anti-ballad' of all time.

Harrys solo is fantastic. Reminds me of 1991 living in Birmingham rocking out 24/7.

[r0ckf0rlif3]

I like em! They r0xx! But yes, they are nothin' like Mötley Crue, Skid Row or Guns 'N Rose'S.. I love em and I like these guys too!

[Fretslayer2003]

Totally agree with all the comments below, this band, this video, and of course Harry Kody's epic solo ROCK!!!

[TigertailzBezerk]

I think ive listend to this song like 50 times this weekend that solo is just too good ! God I love this band *

[TigertailzBezerk]

No more fights - sorry for that people.

Shotgun Messiah Rules !

[TigertailzBezerk]

Allright why is there only 30,000 views ??? these dudes blow guns n roses,Led Zeppelin and all them away. too fucking Sad man - this is a outstanding band right here !!!

[xSabakuNoGaara]

hahahahaha this isnt near as good as Guns N´Roses XD

[TigertailzBezerk]

Hmmm whys that let me guess because Slash plays a les paul - seems all you need is a les paul to become a guitar hero - GNR suck compared to these guys and not to mention how bad Axl sounds live,

[mattyvitofinch]

ur right not hear as good MUCH BETTER

[TheSharkyDude]

oh yeah and that solo is one of the all time greatest. although no one knows it

[HoffaToffla]

Fucking great!!! Love this song :)

[delarge84]

I don't know what some people are talking about. Second Coming is one of their best albums. The debut was more about attitude and less about songs.

[TigertailzBezerk]

That Solo is amazing !

This song Kicks serious ass dude - im sure one day ill be listening to this after a breakup like hell yeah dude - if theirs a tear in my eye its not for you ! rock on

[cgrk01]

Zinny J.San left the band before Second Coming album. In this video Tim Skold(vocals) Harry K. Cody(guitars) Bobby Lycon(bass) Stixx(drums)

[reallyboardstiff]

holly shit what great song!!!

[junolove88]

love this song!!! reminds me of my boyfriend!!! <3

[gatortooth5150]

Great guitar solo and great artistic video animation to it!

[headbanger4life6]

my band asked me to try and sing this song like this guy does.....i failed misserabley......Tim Skold, u rock!!!!

[Digidig1]

This song sings Zinny J. Zan, Tim Skold is on bass..

[TheSharkyDude]

nope. its very much tim

[Yngwie247]

"we crossed our hearts and hoped to die; we swore that we would never lie; but love just slipped away somehow, baby it's all over now;

all that we had, gone forever; things that we said it will never be; living without you, don't bother me"

-aint it the truth brother.

[AilisHatake]

One of the best BREAKUP songs EVER

[LivingInADream10]

[ratter52]

[ratter52]

[thunders5291]
