Q5 - Steel the light

[ZIONFIN]

Heard "pull the trigger" off Hit Parade Album prior to this. Very underrated band for their time.

[Krakhedd89]

Excellent Song! I love this album!

[DeadDreamMachine]

Distorted Force - A Dead Man's Dream

[sisy1965]

...reminds me on the discothec Fantasy in MUC....

[sigma1848]

@sisy1965

Fantasy... long gone memories, my friend! I used to be there three times a week: Monday / Speed&Trash, Thursday / Rock&Metal, Saturday / all styles. No club like good old Fant´ to be found a hundred miles around... to bad they had to close the club in the early 90ies. Money talks...

But if you still live in the Munich area: the Legends of Rock club in Olching tries its best to come close to the old feeling.

[MrBarnett420]

wow all i new about floyd rose was that synyster gates idolized him and he uses his pickups i had no clue about this band or what a great guitarist he is. thnak god for kick ass metalheads on youtube that r cool enough to give me huge lists of bands and songs iv never herd since im 15 but this song is awesome enough said

[mendekloos]

[devilsdeck]

Make no mistake this is a classic album, although i did prefur the second one....whatever happened to these guys?

[Umlatta]

days of old indeed. I used to have this album.I'd forgotten all about this epic song. thanks for posting this.

[slothtype]

Great band, seems a lifetime ago when I first got into this band, wish I was still back in those days.

[serbian78]

Like no time in history The dark one blinded by the sword of light The final blow did take his life Walked in silence to the golden door Threw it open to the night There in his hands our hopes and dreams That this day would steel the light Steel the light! Steel the light! Steel the light! Turning darkness into light Turning darkness into light Take the darkness from our lives Turn the darkness into light

[HotRot89]

@serbian78 Haa Magic, i began to read this, when he started singing it!!

[serbian78]

Fallen angels and fallen dreams

Pay the price of mystery

The gods declared that man lived by night

And never shall they see the light

[SeattleCat64]

Rick Pierce is on of the coolest cats I know and one of the best guitarist Seattle will ever know!.... metal at its best!

[GOLDNIN]

Finally!! I bought this album my brothers!!

I've been listening to it for 3 days. I find it in Amazon, and its awesome. especially the (demos)

Support Underground Metal bands my brothers!

[jonasmalm72]

älskar gitarrerna

[DerMerowinger1]

[jadranovo1]

[sakisolympia7]

great band and great masterpiece

[Saxonmarko]

I remember this album when i bought this on skivmagasinet in trollhättan summer of 1985 i must say that this album is one of the best Hardrock album ive ever bought what a fuckin MASTERPIECE IT IS hole fuckin album !!! So awesome fuckin great memories from that great summer!!!!!!

[dcrhoads]

ask evan sheely i know him he says its ok

[Kalhas01]

If you call yourself a rocker and you don't have this LP original in your collection, you should be ashamed of youself. On the worst case scenario the CD that was published later. 100% a must have

[MAGNUM2F]

THIS ALBUM WAS JUST FANTASTIC

[DHgravity69]

Going through all my vinyl and found this one. It's in mint condition...anybody want it?

[etech87]

got the album its cost 75,86$ well whort it!!!

[TheSteph46]

@etech87 your right my friend it is well worth it! I was lucky,I bought it back in the 80's when it only cost me $8!

[Mrcharliebobo]

@TheSteph46 - That's funny! I bought this in the 80s for 50 cents in a mystery pack of 4 cassettes, it was around X-mass because the tapes were wrapped in X-mass paper. And I have never met anyone who ever heard of this band, till I stumbled upon this video. Which I always thought was messed up, considering how good this band is.

[knightmidnight]

"Steel The Light" album is a Masterpiece!!!!

BUY IT!!!!!!!!

[baltonwyt]

der erste metaldinosaurier...

[ftopalli]

26 years ago..

this was a great album for me..

and still it is!

steel the light!

Q5 rules!

[TheSteph46]

Whatever happened to Floyed Rose???

[cuntjuicejunkies]

@TheSteph46 He went on to become a multi millionaire from his tremolo system you dolt.

[TheSteph46]

@cuntjuicejunkies. I know about Floyed Rose asshole, just thought he might have don some work on other albums! Why do some people have to respond in such a negative way!

[TheGnackwatschn]

Absolut geil die Nummer. Immer wieder gut.

[Klingensang]

In meinem Regal steht's auch, und mindestens

15 Jahre nicht mehr gehört!

[OverlandBull]

Ein Schmankerl aus alten Rock-Zeiten, lange nicht mehr gehört, obwohls in meinem Regal steht :-)

[Matthias937]

GREAT SONG !!!!!!

[eltrose]

Great band ...great lp ...great track!

[glyn4tube]

[BlackmoreRules]

Love this album

[palukas80]

great band............

[RitaMaria72]

This song is awesome! Classic -80´s melodic metal song. Love it :)

[torkwilliams93]

good

[tickledpinksock]

Hell's yeah! Floyd Rose!!!

[MrMarkol67]

pity that this has not given more

[ursi1966]

der hammertitel....für immer mein lieblingssong....und auch der von meinem schatz

[evilenur]

Am I mistaken, or is this Floyd Rose playing guitar? Great album! I'we got it on LP.

[framednoise]

I have this on vinyl somewhere but no vinyl player. The album was on Spotify a couple of months ago but has been removed since :(

So, thanks for the upload and retro-kick!

[silversuitcase]

Love it! Did you see them at HOA the other day in Germany?

Samantha Suitcase

[Veggos89]

goosebumbs all over..

[wesseboyman]

manowar must be inspired of this great song when writing "warriors of the world"the rythm and beggining at least!

[MunichRoberto]

this song was ultimate stuff....

[guwapoakotalaga]

an underated great metal anthem! i love this song so much! thanx 4 the one who post it!

[hsjurgen]

Long Live Heavy Metal !!!!

[jadranovo1]

Have this CD...great piece of music!!!!

[artistim]

One of my favourite bands ever, this track is a fantastic piece of work. Great stuff.

[TheAtreides]

the guy who sang this song is my uncle. hes pretty tight huh??

[Drem0raL0rd]

He is, but you suck.

[lokeytexas]

hahahaha wow... thats funny... and youre a dipshit too... thats funny too... cause its true... dipshit

[TygerOfPanTang90]

Does anyone know their 1991 Soloproject "Nightshade-Into the Nightshade"? It's one of the greatest Metalalbums ever made!

[TheAtreides]

yeah i know it. jonathan k is my uncle.

[TygerOfPanTang90]

wow! Cool thing!

Hope to see Q5 and Nightshade at the Headbangers Openair!!! ;)

[beyondthevastforest]

hahah ace!! am going to that!! can't wait to see Tank!! Q5!! Razor!! and all the fukin rest it's a great line up this year

[SabuPtolemy]

One of the greatest metal anthems of all time. Give me 'Steel the Light', Warrior's 'Fighting For The Earth', and 'Medieval Steel' by Medieval Steel and you got the perfect 80's metal trifecta.

[guwapoakotalaga]

i agree with you 10000000000%

[Veggos89]

what i was looking for in that music

[heavytrue]

esta banda no la abia podido encontrar

esta con madre esto si es muscia

[Asapoo]

Tell you what, I've work in and around music from drum and bass, roots and ska to blues, rock and heavy rock over the last 25 years and for me this is a PERFECT track

[SacriFistBand]

This band still kicks SO MUCH ASS!! Q FUCKING 5 \m/

[leegastar]

Wonderful song!

[furakkueroru]

Q5 are underrated, the Q anything to do with Queensryche (seattle) also criminally underrated (STEAL the light)?

[furakkueroru]

The most underrated band. My friend gave me Steel on the 0/s of Ratt-Invasion and I love both albums! But this is better!

[SpanHamburg]

Da für war der DJ aus dem Grünspan der 80ger bekannt solche Sachen auf zu reißen da gibt es noch so einige geile Rock Sachen von ihm Leider kennt sie kaum einer und werden nirgends mehr gespielt

[mauritsfs]

yeahh!!this is music!!

[weaselshark]

this is shit.

[666MetalManiac73]

... und im Juli auf dem Headbangers Open Air!! Saugeil!!

[TheCosmicCastle2008]

This is one of those not so recognised albums at least it was in england i think but fuckin hell this is one original and amazing album...i love every track and i bought it when it first came out purely because of the cover...i was blown away and still am...class pure fuckin class!!!!

[sergejhh]

Still a blast!

[wilderbengelmike]

danke taxirock für´s einstellen habe ich schon jahrelang gesucht-saugeiler song

[wilderbengelmike]

hallo ein super song aus meiner nicht vergessenden jugend,wer kann mir sagen wie man das auf cd machen kann

[Asphaltheizer]

Die CD hab ich voriges Jahr auf amazon bekommen, Privatanbieter verscherbeln die immer wieder..ich habe Scheiben auch noch als LP, sicher ist sicher..hehe...würd ich gern live sehen !

[boltonbear]

Beats the hell out of all that grunge shit that come out of seattle. Q5 & QUEENSRYCHE ARE THE SEATTLE SCENE

[HeavymetalBeerGirl]

Great song! :D

[Fasttounge]

Was viele auch nicht wissen, Leadgitarrist Floyd Rose hat wohl was erfunden bzw. sich patentieren lassen? Na ??? Richtig, das Tremolo System !!

[MARKOH66]

brings back fantastic memories back in 1985 absolute the best album of that year!!Q5 i bought that album of accident but what a great album!!!

[kyejack]

Awesome song,.. brings back great memories for me,....this track and "Pull the trigger" are a big part of my air guitar history!!

[cecil38]

Befokken fok!

[Lotsapopin]

Amazing track. This is a blistering album I remember from high school days. Lot of people don't know Q5, but I think this is once of the greatest albums in metal.

[thunderdoom1980]

That's one amazing track! I remember myself wanting to buy that album when I was 14, then I kinda forgot about it and haven't listened to it until a couple of days ago.... memories!

[MusicIdiotSavante]

Yep, it's on CD....at least, I got it. Had to special order it (import), but I got it! I had to, I didn't want to take the chance of wearing out my LP any more than I needed to.

[paul2112rush]

AWESOME, had this on cass. years ago.  Can you get it on CD? Q5 should have been huge in the day. Thanks for posting...Rock On..

[GuitarRobertP]

awesome !!!

[Bandit1503]

Supermucke, Klasse Video!!! Wer Q5 nicht kennt, hat die Welt verpennt ;)

Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen!!

[tranquilhegemony]

I have to thank you so so much. One of the greatest metal albums of all time... simply awe inspiring tear inducing memories associated with this track. Thanks bro' :0)

[vanceasavage]

Amazing...brings back such good memories for me. Thanks for posting this. I actually own this on 12 inch. I haven't played it in years. Damn good memories.

[vafthrudnir7]

eins der geilsten lieder der rockgeschichte !

[azrael666ethereal]

Dows anyone know if steal the light was re-released with extra tracks???

[123m321]

Yep it was, 7 more tracks demo versions.

1)Nothing ventured - Nothing gained

2)She's a dancer

3)No way to treat a lady

4)In the night

5)Waiting for your love

6)Teenage Runaway

7)Our love has come and gone.

Some are pretty good, prefer teenage runaway from demo for example. Hope that helps:)

[RainNBlood]

RIP JOHN... I MISS YOU!

[RainNBlood]

Thank you, taxirock, for posting this song... nice vid., too.

[RainNBlood]

This song brings memories of a friend of ours who died from? It was his favorite song. Story is that he and another of our group were inhaling butane, and the other looked over and saw our friend had left us. The one was convinced that they were sold some bad PCP, and we went out looking for the dealer...never did find him. I'm sure it was the butane (and other combinations) that took him. Unfortunately, we have not kept in touch, but this song will stand as a dedication to my "HIGH" buddy!

[BreakfastClub77]

sicuramente una band validissima,ma c'è ben poco di originale sù quest'album a parte la cosmica titletrack vero capolavoro Heavy,per il resto non sò se conoscete i Krokus...tralasciamo il superbo When the mirror cracks..stiamo già parlando dell'Aor più tecnologico

[MickeyLove01]

Best song was "that ain't know way to treat a lady"

[silvership88]

Q5 is one of the best bands EVER!!! And their vocalist is one of the best leather lunged power vocalists to ever walk the earth!!! smffey is a complete retard if he thinks this guy can't sing. Q5 RULES!!!!

[drummerbuzz]

Great stuff here! i had some Nightshade tunes on a cassette that Stevie Adamek gave me, it was great stuff!!

[hanz3]

ne günlerdi o günler.....yıl 86 ..breh breh breh

[MSGDK]

AT LAST A Q5 SONG HERE.

[smffey]

bad vocalist though...

[revethead]

THIS BAND IS GOOD. Best songis Pull The Trigger

[MickeyLove01]

Bad vocalist? Fuck off.

[wookiegroomer]

They were awesome. Two albums. A damn shame. The greatest band to never have made it. Great guitars, insane vocals. Absolutely brilliant. No one sounds like them, then or now.

[TygerOfPanTang90]

Does anyone know their 1991 Soloproject "Nightshade-Into the Nightshade"? It's one of the greatest Metalalbums ever made!

[fifthangel01]

i actually have the casset tape of there album "when the mirror cracks" that is a master piece..my dad actually has the special edition where it has both albums "steel the light" and "when the mirror cracks" on one cd..it's awsome!! i'm a huge Q5 fan

[flackerrol]

Is this an underrated band or what?

[flackerrol]

Why does this song remind me of Queensryche? Were they connected?

[Ragnaroeck793]

summer 86, she was 15.

[badboyboogie47]

First heard Q5 on a collage station in upstate New York.They have a song called Pull the Trigger that rocks!!

[tamatrommer]

best band ever, to bad they dont play anymore...NORWAY

[drumsmetalheavy]

Q5 was ahead of their time. Just kick ass rock music.

[thehour57]

I am in a US Metal band called BRUTAL HAND, we have been compared to Q5 a number of times. It is an honor to be put in the same catagory as such legends---J.H.

[kravguy1]

holy s%&# incredible thought i was lucky to get pull the trigger off limewire does anyone have a vid?  oldschool metal rules!!!!!

[esheeley]

Nice job on the video. It was a fun song to play live... Evan Sheeley (Q5 - Bass)

[taxirock]

Thanks...now i´m a lucky one....

[mavo08]

Wow! Takes me back! Used to have the albums,just ordered them on cd today! Rememeber the vocals on Pull the trigger? CLASS

[runkoman]

Bought this cassette back then. Best hard rock ever!! 'Missing in action' even better!

[vt750c2]

[leppardman]

Bought this album and the second one they were brilliant

[slcbartender]

[mobbyplay]

[fatdog1965]

Rockt noch genauso wie damals im Sound,Danke Mann habe ich gesucht seit ich alle meine LP's verkauft habe,haben die bei euch in Hamburg auch Dust gespielt?

[mrthunderbird]

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawk

[runningzombie]

Oh my god. 0.0 I finally found it! :-D This is, I have to say, easily one of the best, if not THE best, song that rock has ever made.

[dinamico2]

Tuve ocasión una vez en hacerme con este album en vinilo, esa portada, ¡preciosa! y las pintas, música rock "espacial" exquisita. Me piro a pillarlo, ::¨¨::

[knochiknacki]

Genialer Sound ... !
