  • "That flying skull should have Its own TV show"

    

  • Yellow butter!

  • An era of thrash metal that came to life & died within the same decade, but was great while it lasted.....

  • @zootedsuit Actually thrash metal was at its peak by the late 80's and early 90's. It "died"in the mid 90's when grunge was the new thing and mainstream audiences didn't want anything related to metal.

  • @ANGRYROBOT616 Thrash is making a comeback now though, with bands like Evile, Warbringer, Toxic Holocaust etc.

  • This song makes me want to break stuff

  • Comment removed

  • @Voltage219 i kno right thats what i thought

  • Since when Jemes Hetfield is playing solo guitar.

  • haha i remember watching vh1 classic on shrooms with my friend and this song come on and that flying skull scared the shit outa me

  • @dangleesac102 What do you mean it scared you?

  • Overkill is great. My band supported them in Oakland on the Decay Tour in 1988 @ The Omni. Blitz is about the collest motherfucking guy in a world of douchebag lead vocalists with huge-ball egos. Only guy that I always wondered about was Gustafson - why was he trying so hard to copy Hetfield's whole stage look? It's just so obvious & kinda cheesy. Just watch this video. t is pure Hetfield circa "Puppets" era......

  • @Eternityflows What pisses me off too is that one of my best friends of all time is the biggest A7X fan I've ever seen. It makes me sick. What else is sad is that the dudes from A7X are actually good musicians, it's just that the music that they choose to make sucks complete ass.

  • 0:11 that was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

  • You just forgot the best and fastest band of that period , Dark Angel , with 2 absolute phenoms like Gene Hoglan and Eric Meyer

  • One of reasons I didn't support the big 4 stuff was because Overkill, Testament and Exodus were not involved. Those four bands Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and ANTHRAX should know know and respect that. The only group I still respect is Slayer, they still have not compromised their style and their fans. Metallica has sucked pass And Justice, Megadeth still continues in the right path. Anthrax, gotta give kudos to Scott.

  • THE BIG 6

    METALLICA

    MEGADETH

    SLAYER

    ANTHRAX

    TESTAMENT

    OVERKILL

    HELP ME MAKE THE BIG 4 BECOME THE BIG 6!!! POST THIS COMMENT ON EVERY THRASH VIDEO!!!

  • @BrutalAggressions hirax, death angel, abomination as well.

  • @BrutalAggressions would it be too much to add exodus?

  • @fdnyemt5330 Lmao really?

  • the hired james hetfield from the master of puppets tour 86?? aha

  • DD Verny bass is amazing 

  • This song kills! Thx Overkill!

  • Son of Sam song. The Jew Berkowitz must die. Hello from the gutters of NYC. All niggers must fucking hang.

  • I wqs always curious to how financially siccessful this band is,. No one works harder. It seems like they , due to their allegiance and heart beholden to true speed thrash, haven't gone the commercial route to boost themsleves. The good thing by staying true to your roots is that you keep and slowly grow your fanbase, rather than the giant cash grab that leaves most bands finished. They seem, after all these years, to be stronger than ever. EEEEEEElimination!

  • hello from guatemala, i mean THE GUTTER, damn it so fucking electric

  • CLASSIC.YOUNG BOBBY BLITZ. ;-)

  • the song is now accessible mega super, really nice strength metal, get something not go as often hören.ich this song just love when you drive bumper and then the sound is quite loud then makes the fucking party ab.THIS IS OLDSCHOOL METAL

  • I fuckin' love the guitar solo done by Bobby Gustafson!!! :D

  • fucking awsome. overkill, still one of my faves

  • this song fucking rocks!!!!

  • overkill and testament were the first bands bands that i dared listened to beyond the Big Four circle...back then everyone was so into them that they wouldnt give anyove else a chance....when I picked up the Years Of Decay record.( yes, I said record). i went to school the next day and spread the word- "you guys gotta listen to this shit!!!"

  • OVERKILL is my favorite thrash band. They came to Australia last week and kick ass for the 1st time. I have only been waiting since 87 for them to finally grace our shores.

    I even got a Chaly Tattoo right across my back to show my dedication and gonna get their autographs tattooed underneath it. I got them to sign a bit of paper so I can get it done. OVERKILL FOREVER. \m/

  • fuck a7x!!!! chaly will fuck there bat up anyway!!!

  • Fuck A7X. They fuckin' stole OVERKILL'S bat logo thing when OVERKILL has already had it and been around for 40 fucking years!!!!! This is bullshit. OVERKILL RULES. \m/ \m/

  • @ThatKrookedVulture Yea i agree on that. When I first saw their logo i thought wow they ripped that of from OverKIll. and you know the singer of A7X is into old school metal so they had to know.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture they are around for 30 years not 40 ;)

  • @Gigodem Oh sorry, typeo.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture His name is Charly The Bat

  • @HaohmaruOfTheWind Haha Charlie. Charlie bit me finger off!

  • @ThatKrookedVulture 40 years?overreacting ?

  • @IMBACHABRI It was a type-o.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture hey I thought the logo from OVERKILL is skull with dragon's wings. But Avenged Sevenfold is skull with Bat's wings

  • @Dietrichiero18 I think you're being a little too specific on the whole wings detail. Overkill has shirts that say on the back "Get your own fucking logo."

  • @ThatKrookedVulture oh okay please don't mad to me I just guest it . )nying(

  • @Dietrichiero18 Oh no I wasn't mad or anything it's all good man. Keep thrashing. \m/(>.<)\m/

  • @ThatKrookedVulture hahaha :D ^_^b

  • overkill is the most underrated thrash act of em all; IMO, theyre better than some big four acts

  • Man I miss the 80's and early 90's.

  • simply the best!

  • OVERKILL!!!The BEST SONG!!! and GREAT SOLO!!!

  • Gustafson and Hetfield could be twins...

  • read the disclaimer.thank you man.at least WMG can kiss our asses now.overkill rules.

  • I so miss the Ronald Reagan years. Music was at its best back then.

  • Aaahhhh.... I so miss the Ronald Reagan years... Music was at its best back then.

  • that flying bat thing is funny anyway...

  • An absolute Metal classic!! In my opinion one of the best songs ever made.

  • I don't know. Anthrax did East Coast Thrash better and at that, I never really cared for East Coast Thrash. It was too punk for me, kind of cheesy. I did like the Cro-Mags though. Mostly though, it was always kind blah. "Not accessible" is kind of a euphemism for suck, don't you think? Justin Bieber isn't accessible for anyone over the age of 13 or male, for instance. You are entitled to your opinion, though. Also, I'll admit that I'd rather listen to Overkill than 99% of the crap out there now!

  • @JackOfferlott No one messes with Anthrax, there badass! And Justin Beiber licks ballsack!

  • @thegenie144

    Agreed and agreed!

  • I never got it with these guys. They were totally lame and cheesy. They were the Grim Reaper of thrash. Ellsworth sucks as a vocalist and the music is pretty boring and totally "blah" even at their best. Overkill lacked that "umph" that got you into metal, thrash and underground music back in the day. They're like some generic garage band trying to figure out how Metallica rocks, but with the imagination, talent and skill of Poison they are precluded from doing anything other than sucking balls.

  • @JackOfferlott Completely and utterly wrong :/ Why would they want to be like Metallica anyway? OVERKILL ARE STILL GOOD TODAY unlike some bands;)

  • @HyperVoldo

    No, not wrong. Just not in accordance with your grossly hindered view of reality. I give it to you, I'd rather listen to Overkill than most of the crap that has come out in these past 20 years. That still doesn't mean that they don't suck or aren't total posers. As for why they would want to be like Metallica, ask Blitz or D.D. What do I look like, a Clairvoyant? By the way, great song by a real metal band: Iron Fuckin' Maiden!

  • @JackOfferlott Overkill is just as talented as Metallica, maybe even more, but their music just wasn't as accessible and they had worse luck with their debut since it was released too late even though the band came before Metallica. It wasn't lack of imagination, they were thrash before metallica

  • I remember seeing this years ago and laughing at Bobby G's obvious hero worship for Hetfield, for those who are confused about who looks like who - hetfield started using the white explorer on the Lightning tour - black wristbands etc - must have been 86 - cause he looked like this when I saw them with Cliff Burton on the Puppets tour.

    When all is said and done - Bobby is still a far better guitarist!

  • I thought, that i'm the only one in the world who didn't forget about this video..

    it's nice to see i'm not an idiot.. or there is some other:D

  • He's a hetfield wannabe but that solo was pretty fuckin' good. And who wouldnt want to be james? lol I'm a hetfield wannabe but i dont have an explorer and look more like a bearded Lars hahaha

    Kickass song. I demand Blitz for president!

  • Wow, I haven't seen this video since like 1989. Still kicks ass!!

  • Fuckin' love this song - I have the video taped from a Bailey Brothers (remember them) show from MTV, Bobby G is a total Hetfield clone but what a player ?

  • no, in my opinion ,they should have replaced anthrax

  • all the overkill fans

    hate this guy because hes

    a james hetfield wannabe.

    they tour together and he just came out jammin with james

    looking like twins lol

  • Awsome! Heard abput them for the first tim yesterday, cant stop playing this song! :D did i say it was AWSOME?! :D

  • why am i not james hetfield oh god why?????

  • one of the best thrash band from wat i think!!!!

  • Its the best - im lovin it !!!!!

    Blitz is the very best Metall singer !!!!!

    Doch die Zeiten sind schon lange vorbei !!!!!

    Ampak nic za to !!!!!

  • Is that Rat Skates or Sid Falk on the drums?

  • @THRASHFKINFILLETS

    Sid Falk

  • @THRASHFKINFILLETS Skates, Falk came in on Horrorscope I'm pretty sure.

  • @Privat3Kag3

    Wrong, Skates left after the Taking Over tour

  • @whplague Ah, thank you i had a feeling I was wrong. I always mix up the backstory of good bands.

  • overkill and megadeths new album owns both metallica's and slayer's new album

  • @alisamariestevenson Youre joking right ?

    avenged sevenfold is shiit and Overkill has been out WAY longer than that dumbass band has.

    Avenged sevenfold copied Overkill

  • @falonlm exactly! are we the only people who realize this?!?!?!

  • @lockupthewolves999

    Apparently!

    because theres too many shitty posers.

    D:

    but im glad you agree !

  • @alisamariestevenson This video is from 1988...Avenged Sevenfold we're playing in the fucking sandbox while this chaos in-sued, not to mention they suck ass and so do you. You should be murdered by Bobby Blitz for saying that. OVERKILL FUCKING OWNS!!!

  • You guys rock! Check out my guy's band.

    Jade/American Gladiators

  • As a kid their music kept me strong and confident as I walked the ruined neighborhoods of Brooklyn. I was always drawn to the "wasteland" parts of town. And their inhabitants. My friends and family thought I was tempting fate. In my travels all over NYC during the "dark" years of the 80s and 90s, I NEVER felt afraid or even remotely concerned with being hurt by my fellow New Yorkers. This was MY place and MY people. And this was MY music. I am always indebted to Metal. A true healing force.

  • @mindstormsabrewin This was my Anthem.

  • @mindstormsabrewin great comment, even for me that have never been in NY. but thats what i feel when walking through the wastelands of european cities. great

  • overkill never stopped being good, every album by them is pretty much solid if not great

  • These guys should be the best selling metal band in the world. They are the REAL thing. I doubt we'll be seeing any documentaries about their personal torments and internal battles with their childhood trauma. Metal means wearing your scars proudly without regret and getting your hands dirty doing the hard work of surviving this world and LOVING the process. Metal IS therapy of the highest kind. The power of this music is pure magic!

  • @mindstormsabrewin kick ass comments dude!!! exactly my opinion!!!

  • @mindstormsabrewin Well said...

  • @mindstormsabrewin check out Rat Skates - Born in the Basement. No angst. Just brilliant documentary.

    

  • Bobby's got the ...And Justice For All "Jaymz" look down perfect!

  • @DamionChrist He is is so '89 heftield its scary.

  • Bobby G. ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!

  • khjgkjh

  • One of the best songs in THRASH METAL HISTORY!!!

  • Cool!!!

  • he's holding the bass so loww.....

  • merci,c'est le panthéon du thrash ici !!!!!!!!!!encore un merci !

  • one thing i hate about metal/rock is that it's so many awesome songs i theres no way you can ever hear it all!!

    sweet fucking song!!:)

  • the black album is a superb album no matter what all the so called metal purists think ,overkill were brilliant up until horrorscope .

  • overkill blow metalishit away you faggot

  • fuck u 36crazyguyknobhead cunt prick twat child molesting motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • one of the best thrash metal bands....

    way better than megadeth,slayer or anthrax and close to the masters metallica

  • Were you guys not alive in the 80s? EVERYONE in metal/thrash had hair like that.

  • this is from 1989 i was wrong but the black album was 1990 so its still the same

  • bobby gustafson look does looks like james hetfield style but hetfield start looking like that after and justice for (1988) and this video is from under the influence(1987) so actually looks like gustafson by the way overkill rules 10 times harder than metallica

  • The guitarrist looks like James Hetfield in the early days \m/

  • he has the same hair... thats about it

  • esta banda me marcou bastante,tinha um vhs do metal festival86 com agent steel,overkill,anthrax excelente...ke saudades

  • I'ts you ;)

  • @MelMelsNRich Good point.

  • MR MelMelsNRich, no, no, no....James Hetfield looks like Bobby Gustafson, Heatfield is his Fan No. 1......

  • One of THE best Thrash bands ever

  • @ViolentDeath86 too bad it's not one of the 'Big Four' bands of thrash metal ..

  • @ReigningMassacre yeah, i think Overkill should replace Slayer in the Big Four, Slayer is a good band but i dont think they are Trash Metal. they are more like Black Metal or something like that....

  • my fav Overkill song !

  • One of the best metal song ever

  • OVERKIIIIIILLLL Motherfuckers, c´mon get ready with the headbanger

  • real music

  • i fuckin love blitz

    blitz forever!!!

  • no he does not play like fucking hetfeild you DOUCHE, sure hes playing a explorer but look at the amps, that tone is nothing close to metallica ....but whatever.....ignorance is bliss, THRASH OR DIE

  • I was in this video. It was taped at a little club called "The World" on the lower east side of Manhatten in an area called "Alphabet City". I think it was on Avenue C. What an awesome experience,but after they played the song like 12 times,I prolly didn't listen to it again til the video premiered on MTV LOL!

  • where

  • watch the elimination video, it looks like it actually is him

  • He even plays like him.

  • his long lost twin

  • Goddam thrash masterpiece !!!

  • oh shitbuckets!! love this schiezen!

  • i have always thought about overkill's first three albums as iron maiden on steroids....im not saying anything bad but you could tell they were more than inspired

  • I love how this is like Thrashy Iron Maiden. The begging reminded me of Can I play with madness.

  • That was fucking incredi- Wait WTF THIS IS UNDERRATED! NO!

  • Over Kill-Super Band,Super Thrash!!!!!!!!!

  • its the most thrashy music video ever made! the quintesence of '80 metal movement!

  • nice

  • Great Thrash SONG!!!!!!!!!!

  • For me one of the best Trash-Metal songs

    ever, great bassplay and great vocals

  • Best F...ckin´solo ever!!!

  • Totally agree!

  • Great song, and that flying skull rules too!
