Shooting Star "Hang On For Your Life" (DVD)2002

[ChuckieInMT]

I just flashed on the guy on lead guitar wearing a football jersey and kickin' butt, kinda like he is on here...

[ChuckieInMT]

We caught you guys back in the mid '80's when you opened for ZZ Top on the Eliminator tour and well, we HAD TO HANG ON TO OUR LIVES THAT NIGHT!!! Thanks for all of the memories and you guys are still THE SH**!!! Let me know if you'd ever have time to do a show in NW Montana, cuz I've got an indoor venue, radios for promo and a friend w/ a 40' van full of production equipment. Let's Go!!!

[heyscuba]

JUST AN AWESOME TUNE FROM A VERY UNDERRATED BAND , I LOVE IT! ;o)

[stratbnder]

SS had many hits this was only one of many.

this video was not in their prime either.

you've got what I need was a great song

and "Last Chance" was an anthem

[ogrebattle22763]

Very cool extended live version!!!!

[macmcc030261]

this song just kicks all kinds of ass!

[cmalves1]

agreement with all - this band KIX ASS

[sophiegromit]

This great tune ABSOLUTELY KICKS!!!!!!! GREAT song structure, riffs, vocals, etc. Still sounds awesome in 2009 as it did back then.... then again, why wouldn't it???!!! Van, you ROCK!!!

[Mominator]

They're a very talented band that never got the recognition they deserved.

[rms5366]

absolutely agree 100%... they are awesome! I used to listen to the hang on for your life cassette on my walkman every morning in the 10th grade while I was waiting for my school bus lol

[theaverageguys]

@rms5366... Thats awesome, I have the song on cassette too, as a compilation of fav songs I recorded off FM radio. I'd have to drag the boom box out and that old tape to hear the song, until now.

[ebonics4everyone]

Mominator: They couldn't. Kansas City is not a good place to be based in rock n roll. Bands have to relocate or be ignored.

[ogrebattle22763]

@Mominator Your going way over board! They only had this one hit & that was it! They had their moment in glory with this song....... that's it.....

[DanArbuckle]

@ogrebattle22763 If you don't know what you are talking about STFU! And you have no idea what you are talking about. SO STFU!!!

[ogrebattle22763]

@DanArbuckle You Know even less so you can STFU! 

[ogrebattle22763]

@DanArbuckle If you don't like what I said about the band I don't really give a shit. You want to sit here like a smuck & trade insults because your a fan & I'm not then knock yourself out I'll say what I want & I'll keep saying it.,& by the way if you looked at some of my comments you'll see that I never said the band sucked I just said I wasn't a fan & that they weren't as great as some were making them out to be so F**k - Off if you don't like it...

[MarkPepek]

That's Keith Mitchell on lead vocals.

[ntbsam]

Is that Gary West singing lead? The original lead singer?

[NobbyOlder]

Is it?

[ebonics4everyone]

ntbsam: No. I know his niece. She said Gary quit Shooting Star about twenty plus years ago.

[clucas46]

Lord I miss these guys!!!! I was a true Shooting Star MANIAC!!!! I will never forget seeing them every year --twice-- once in the summer and then every December at Memorial Hall. AHHHH memories... and they still got it. If only the rest of the world could have known them as I did....

[azzy1965]

Yes!!! I seen them every chance I could wherever they played in K.C.

[ericjolene]

Kick ass song, who are the band members here?

[foghatconcertseries]

bad ass tune!!

[wurlytone]

This should be considered one of the best rock n roll songs of all time. And wow, what tone! That's how a guitar should sound!

[BigBearVids]

Love this freekin song......!! What memories..!! Miss you guys.!!!!!

[Torgo68]
