  • No es cierto, Doro Pesch y las Girlschool fueron mucho antes.

  • I love Ann Boleyn since I was a Kid, she stills so hot! What a singer!

  • I love Ann Boleyn since i was a little kid... jejeje she stills hot

  • One of the most underrated bands(and guitarist) from back in the day,they rocked hard and sounded great. Wish Ann and Chet would play again someday.

  • My favorite Hellion song is "Tower of Air" --- there are a couple versions of it on You Tube. On that song the singer's tone reminds me of Ronnie James Dio (RIP).

  • Amongst thousands of heavy metal/hard rock solos done during the "hairband" era, this solo by Chet stands out among most of them. It's got sort of a Nuno "funk" vibe going for it with a tasteful use of palm mute runs.

  • IMO she is the best female singer ever in metal -- and better than lots of the best guys, too.

    Her departure from touring and recording has left a hole in metal...

  • Detente sucks - LONG LIVE HELLION!!!

  • Everyone's going to call me a liar and all but, I actually have this one in color on VHS. I think I probably recorded it off of MTV's HeadBangers Ball back around 88 or 89.

  • @ShaulTalmeed You should post it!

  • @NeckWatcher I'll have to find it on one of the many VHS tapes and figure out how to convert it to digital format but, when i figure out how, I'll make sure to do it! I have a slew of old videos from Headbangers Ball including Alice Coopers "Nightmare Returns" tour but, all of it's on VHS.

  • fuckin great band.

  • The BEST Metal Song EVER. My inspiration for learning guitar was watching the guitar solo - Chet Rulez...

  • hellyeaaaah!!!!!! i love it!!...

  • I shot this video, sooooo long ago. I think i have a colour version of it somewhere around. Ill look, if I find it ill post it

  • this band were my roomates minus Anne. You have no idea how much fun we had.....

  • Ann Boleyn was the first female singer to sing metal seriously. She still sounds killer, too. She has such an amazing voice that she sounds great with speed metal or with more classic power metal too. I still enjoy this music.

  • @smacdonnald

    what about doro?

  • @smacdonnald true, but dont forget Doro Pesch either

  • how come this band isnt more well known they are so good

  • the singer is still singing, only with Detente

  • I LOVE THIS BAND

  • this was the second line-up of hellion?

    I like both the early Hellion for its raw power. This line-up is very good though also, but a but more polished and produced sounding.

  • getting rid of alan barlam was an improvement

  • Barlam was very young when he joined Hellion. He was the rhythem guitarist when he joined, but he got a lot better as the band matured.

  • I used to work for enigma and restless

    alan barlam is not on this video. alan barlam kicked ann boleyn the singer out of Hellion after she got ronnie james dio's wife to help hellion. alan barlam found a singer called richard pariko to take Ann's place.  ann went and got Chet Thompson who is in this video. everybody who was in the music busines thought she made a mistake in taking alan barlam back a couple years later because after they recorded the black book he quit again

  • She must be very forgiving.. what's the story with this guy? Kicking her out and joining her again? Hmm.. that's bad attitude

  • It is the music that counts IMO

    Image means very little

    Hellion is awesome IMO no matter what time 1980s of 90s.

  • Ann Boleyn is filling in with DETENTE whose singer died. She just did a festival last weekend and there is video up at Capital Chaos.

  • excelente banda lo meujor hellion sin palabras una bandota¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • This song (and most all of the Hellion albums) are now on iTunes.

  • I just posted a video by Hellion on my web page if anybody is interested.

  • Does anybody know what these guys are doing now? This was a great band. I met them once and they were nice people too.

  • i heard a couple weeks ago that detente was getting back together to tour this summer and that ann boleyn might be the singer

    but i haven't seen any tour dates mentioned anywhere

    if anybody knows if this is true, e-mail me

  • From what I hear Detente is only doing one show. And nobody still knows who the singer will be. But I am still hearing it is either Ann Boleyn or Doro.

  • Ann Boleyn got the job.

  • There is a video of Ann Boleyn playing with the guitarist from Kruiz that is on youtube now. Just search for "russia" and "ann Boleyn" and it will come up.

  • There is another version of this video on uTube that is in color and is full length.

  • Yeah, I've always thought this song had the best guitar solo of any other HELLION song. I'm glad to see this vid.

  • chet thompson is such a kick ass guitarist, so overlooked , being taught by randy rhoads its no suprise he was so good

  • I have the whole promo on my profile..check out.

  • Wow! this is great to see,my fave track of all time,i just cant play the goddamn solo and its bugging me! to play this would be the pinnacle of my guitar playing! lol

  • She sounds a great deal like Alice Cooper.

  • He was a student of Randy Rhoads.

  • Awesome to find this video. Chet Thompson's solo to this song was one of my favorites during the metal era. Took me awhile to learn it but eventually I got it down.
