[agrueeatedu]

@rossbay I noticed the similarity as well, both amazing songs.

[virusfifteen]

these guys kick way too much fucking ass. man. dude. duuude. wha?

[sipinflames]

dude i just found out valiant thorr is an alien that works in the pentagon hahaha omfg \m/

[bluetilefeverz]

i received a concussion at a valient thorr show at the troubadour in la, there was only three of us in the pit.

[TheLovestain69]

Are these guys still together? I havent heard anything new in forever

[djdepaolo]

@TheLovestain69 They just finished up a tour with Motörhead & Clutch. Saw them at the House of Blues last March in Boston. My ears are still ringing from that show.

[TheLovestain69]

@djdepaolo Dam dude I bet that was an awsome show! I am glad they are still together to, I used to listen to the guys so much when I was younger.

[djdepaolo]

@TheLovestain69 I had never heard of Valient Thorr before the show. After their set though, I was a fan.

[jacobkingo]

Roskilde Festival (Denmark) 2012, see you motherfuckers there ?

[themadman50]

they stole the riff 0:53 to 1:04 from the song "hit the lights", metallica came up with that shit 30 years ago

[nestorluvsher]

@themadman50 there's only so much you can do with a guitar before it sounds like something that's been done before, plus it's even harder due to the fact of how long guitar riffs have been around

[KingTaargusVII]

@themadman50 Oh my god, one riff. Fuck this band.

Yeah, no. Who cares?

[BryceIbanez17]

@themadman50 i think they know it sounds like hit the lights. its more like a small tribute probably

[MrPsykokiller13]

this makes me want to play skate

[RazorHeadMetal]

Im seeing them in 2 weeks with Pentagram and 2 other small bands.

[NukeMTV]

HIT THE LIGHTS!

[DJunkieb1912]

oh shit im in this video. kings barcade raleigh, nc...that industrial strobe was trippy as fuck.

[thelukeman01]

skate brought me here !

[Ajboi89]

80's hair bands, 2000's beard bands.

[causeofmyanger]

@Ajboi89 FEAR THE BEARDS!!!

[BlakkToothGrinn69]

Whoaaaaa! First time listening to this band!!! Totally not what I was expecting, in a totally badass and fuckin awesome way!!!!!!! THIS IS THE SHIT!!!

[thecobra002]

I saw them this past friday at Sonisphere Spain!!! :D They did an amazing show!

[alanpimlott]

u serious bloodymetal?

[rscrocker]

Nice "Hit The Lights" lick in the middle.

[CharlieDirkxVideos]

My Uncle's friend's son is Warren Hatfield, old guitarist for this band. Spent 4th of July with him, he's a fucking badass.

[MrHugoCecereu]

Valient Thorr! Rocked Amsterdam the other night!! Killer!!

[BL00DYMETAL]

talk about ripping off metallica... 0:50

[iPim360]

I'd rather call this some fuckin' rock'n roll!

[davesajo]

just discovered this band. even my goosebumps having goosebumps.

[jebugers]

@davesajo after 5 seconds I figured out what you meant

[weetoddtv]

is that chris haslam?

[tomata182]

I love this!!!!!! FIrst time ever hearing them. What type of music would you call these guys! Freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!

[leeknivek]

@tomata182 metal. pure, unsolicited, untainted, metal.

[jebugers]

@tomata182 thrash metal

[FinlandsThunder]

@jebugers I wouldn't say thrash metal, with thrash metal you're looking at bands like early Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer (as far as classic bands go) and now we're seeing bands like Warbringer, Municipal Waste and Gama Bomb take the thrash stage. I'd call these guys plain and simple heavy metal. But it's not like genres matter anyway, metal is metal and it'll always kick ass

[leeknivek]

i like how the drummer ends up having only 1 stick and still plays with his hand

[NamELes91]

Fuckin crazy awesome stupidity!!hands down

[metalhasmyballs2]

HIT THE LIGHTS!!!!!

[beautiful0104]

Beardfest 2012....A festival celebrating the almighty BEARD. Only bands who have beards will play. Looking for 500 likes. If we get 500 likes, we can move forward. We're looking to get CLUTCH and VALIENT THORR to be the headliners along with some other regional acts. The festival will take place at THE SPIRIT OF THE SUWANNEE music park in NORTH FLORIDA. You will not be ripped off by high food and beer prices. It will be a grand time for all that simply love beards. Help us out.

[AmericanDroogie]

I saw these guys open for Motorhead and i cant get enough of them

[SlipknotFreak0815]

HIT THE LIGHTS da dudada dudada HIT THE LIGHTS da dudada dudada!!!

[MissElderFly]

[MrPsykokiller13]

[hoodmeister71]

Valient Thorr

[1000anilorac]

[widowet]

buenisimos¡¡¡¡

[BuggritHall]

Looking forward to seeing these lot at Sonisphere Madrid.

[666slink]

These guys are awesome live!

[misterx360]

U are GODS!

[Zontertes]

After the show they tied down Katy Perry's boyfriend and ran a train on her while he watched.

[EvilFollowsUs]

Thumbs up if you thought that was Will Ferrell on the bass!

[AntiChristianMetal]

@EvilFollowsUs Thumbs up if you think EvilFollowsUs is an idiot

[KtownXfighting]

@EvilFollowsUs dude...everyone knows he plays cowbell. pfft.

[Sazmunky]

saw these guys a couple years ago, the singer had given his dad a kidney and flew out the next day and landed a couple hours before the gig... we had first aid on stand by and he still fucking rocked it!!!!

[SatanicSinister]

Saw this band yesterday with MOTORHEAD! Awesome band especially the singer lol. Hilarious dude!

[FatCoreProductions]

just came from motorhead ! these guys were a fucking great opening band

[MegaCrazyhippie]

I saw these guys live. It was pretty sic. I must say, their beards are quite amazing. :{D>

[Tymemonius]

1.03 min....best crash stop ever...^^

[evilinsydme]

Seeing them tonight at Starland Ballroom with Clutch(rules) and Motorhead!

[ventor11225]

when i saw them i was like that bassist cant be phil lynott.........

[whitetrashoutlaw]

These guys kick ass live!

[shadex2]

Saw these guys along with Clutch and Motorhead. I gotta say the really put on a good show. Perhaps the best between all three, they were funny as hell and interacted the most with the audience

[whitetrashoutlaw]

@shadex2 Yeah I saw them last night at the Nokia on that tour. Fucking great stuff.

[1988theRick]

I WANNA BREAK STUFF NOW !!!!!

[airsoftdeath]

They open for Motorhead everywhere don't they?

[DaleTatum]

These guys rock I saw them open up for Motor Head in Reno Nevada and got a picture with their bass and guitar player

[procainftw]

These guys rocked the fuck out of the vogue in indianapolis

[rybones1311]

@procainftw my friend proposed to his g/f at that show.

[BlastTyrant449]

The guitar player is wearing a throw rag shirt, Fuck yes.

Clutch is fuckin' awesome.

[fecalinferno]

did that guy just fall out of the ceiling?!

[manka6]

Dear guy who said clutch was gay. I know you're in Vancouver, and I WILL find you.

[beer4bigb]

most definitely a hit the lights based riff!!! still pretty cool. ALL HAIL MIGHTY "CLUTCH"

[eGreg24]

I really don't think the riff in this sounds like a ripoff of Hit the Lights. Either way, and with all due respect to 80's Metallica, Valient Thorr is way better than Metallica.

[sandman130]

Now Metallica Know how Dave Mustaine feels! LOL! what a shitty rendition!

[riffraph28]

sorry hellfest 2011....

[riffraph28]

see them at the Hellfest 2001 in june in France with ozzy osbourne, alter bridge, judas priest, apocalyptica, rob zombie, coroner etc etc over 110 bands in 3 days ah ah ah ah see hellfest open air.fr 17,18 and 19 (june)

[Elliotk420]

Gonna go see these guys tonight. Well, actually, I'm going to see the almighty Clutch. They just happen to be opening. Never heard them until now. Looking forward to seeing them live.

[Loki335]

@Elliotk420 Didn't go for the motorhead show? lol.

[cramtown]

@Elliotk420 yeah wtf clutch was sooo gay.. i wouldve rather had a double set of these guys (which id never heard before that night).. or at least have had clutch open first since this band riled everyone up and clutch just made them scream for motorhead to come out already

[Bcbud420]

@cramtown if you can't appreciate the greatness of CLUTCH ! you should just kill yourself , Valient Thorr I didn't like to much at the show but I didn't know any of their stuff , but I bought a Cd and now starting to dig them , Listen to more Clutch and you will learn to love them as much as I 

[RideDBK]

every riff has been used somewhere at sometime. its impossible not to be lightweight copying someone out there.

[wherenextcolumbus666]

this does NOT  sound anything like hit the lights.

[MrGeorgeGibb]

he is god at @3:34 had to be said.

[kingtroll23]

@MrGeorgeGibb .....indeed.......He may actually save us from our sins

[eGreg24]

@maurockzz At least Metallica never copied any riffs... oh wait Sanitarium.

[edwin0380]

Great stuff!!

[FallenForZero10]

@maurockzz cuz they copied the riff this band copied metallica

[shinkengatsxa]

@FallenForZero10 yeah, but metallica sucks and these guys rule so it's kinda like they gave the riff a better home

[a01543z]

rork n roll never dies!

[bobibobio1999]

CHRIS HASLAM!!! SKATE



[anurents]

Hell yeah! love this band!

[myztainzydeout]

[SceneK1d89]

[bombpop13]

Nice Throw Rag shirt on the guitar player

[spooge1234]

[MrBassmanist]

 Teddy Bears Band :)

[txteabagger]

sounds good but they act like they are a joke band and that annoys me

[matticus12345]

@txteabagger how do they act like a "joke band"?

[txteabagger]

@matticus12345 there striking all the 70's poses in a comical way not a serious way hard to explain but they come off a little gimiky like they are playing a role

[causeofmyanger]

all hail Valient thorr!!!!

[AllisonWhild]

The beer fell and he caught it in the cup with his foot ..that was awesome!!

[matticus12345]

[AllisonWhild]

@matticus12345 1:46-1:50

[IRONxEWOK]

إزدهار كبير

[civa666]

They sound like Love/Hate! Are they any good live?

[robbieerb]

@civa666 The live show is better than 99% of any band I've ever seen, in all honesty.

[IceCreamPheonix]

@robbieerb seriuously jus saw em live n i must say quite th energy

[melnutritionn]

[ChrisRockSteady]

[ductguy138]

@PohatuJr So did I, Awesome show!!!

[KKKrade]

Love the part from 0:52, with all of the band playing together on the cymbals! Beautiful. Thank you for a nice concert @ roskilde!

[FenrisBastich]

hahaah una parte suena a "Hit the ligths" de Metallica jajaja....

[McVahrencampbell1]

Yes you´re right nearly the same Riff like Metallica´s at 1:11 in Hit The Lights on their Kill ´Em All Album .

[Thefletox]

EXACTLY at 0:54

[tnafan]

@FenrisBastich i also thought it sounded like hit the lights.

[metalgodmalgrat]

JAJAJAJAJA ES VERDAD

[manka6]

@FenrisBastich Wow, not even a little bit. Are you deaf?

[HitchLukas]

going to see them today on serengeti festival!

[farbeyondjuban]

No matter how many fads and "music" trends come and go, bands like Valient Thorr, Priestess, and The Sword show that there will always be a place for real, true rock n' roll.

[superfly7272]

yeeeaaahh

[bookworm1138]

saw these guys open for mastodon, and i gotta say, it was a kick-ass performance all around

[caboose5216]

This was on EA's Skate. I loved this song :)

[DRINKSTRUCTION]

[nielsiboy90]

they are fuckin great:]

[PaxiLexiUndFixi]

@nielsiboy90 zufällig am Mittwoch in Flensburg?

[nielsiboy90]

@PaxiLexiUndFixi no in bonn at rheinkultur on satuday

[robotsnowman]

from 0:50 to 1:04 the instrumental sounds like part of hit the lights by Metallica

[FenrisBastich]

@robotsnowman exactly!

[devilbeastie]

gonna see them live in july - fuck yeah!

[DarkCrusader7]

in a way this sucks if u ask me , but in anotherway this kicks fuckin ass...dont know !?! :D

[Rock6N6Roll6Guitar]

I've met these guys yesterday at a free festival, and they where really nice guys. Too bad they played at 11:30pm and I had to catch my train at 11:45pm. Their guitarist, Eidan Thorr, came up to me and he was pretty stoned and asked me where the toilet was, because he was looking for it about half an hour :-P

[thebcwanted]

this is music

jonas brothers and justin bieber sucks, who agrre with me?

reply



[Johnnyboy414]

@thebcwanted yeah you are just making bieber more popular by mentioning his name in a metal video, fucking idiot

[Aristhma]

Is it just me or does the drummer in this vid look a bit like chuck norris???? o_O

[jesusizprov2]

i saw them in richmond on april 18th. tht shit was swweeeettttt

[kalem007]

I saw Valient Thorr, Baroness, Between the Buried and Me, and Mastodon in Fargo and it was aweeesomeee!

[buckstick46]

I don't understand why these guys of all bands are in the lineup but oh well, thats why there is two bars full of booze in the Canopy Club in Champaign Ill. May 19th campus town in Champaign will be upside down and on fire...okay maybe not on fire...don't want anyone getting the idea that mob/riot action will take place

[naters317]

seein these guys with mastodon tonight. should be epic

[Rafbeyonddriven]

Kick Ass Rock N' Roll !

[Thisbaconisalive]

These guys make me want to hop on chopper and cruise down the highway looking for adventure... I think the Between the Buried and Me and Mastodon concert was the actual ride itself.. These guys just prepared the mood.

[killmeandit]

i saw this band with Baroness, Between the Buried and Me, Mastodon, and let me say, this band suck in comparison with MASTODON!!! Baroness was kick ass too, but these guys are just sad.

[brendanollie]

@killmeandit where we're you I saw them in spokane and they rocked but between the buried sucked dick they got booed lol

[tempest993]

@brendanollie I saw them in Spokane too. I'm not a big fan of Between the Buried and Me, but you gotta feel sorry for anyone playing between the sheer awesomeness of Baroness and Mastodon.

[brendanollie]

true but i liked these guys they did a good job btw where we're you ? i was front row on the right

[dutrank]

@tempest993 Baroness made me fall asleep : /

[killmeandit]

@brendanollie i saw them in Fargo ND, BTBAM were good, but not as good as Baroness or Mastodon! hell ya!
