If I was on the sofa at the end listening to Tracii and Schenker trading shredding solos, I wouldn't be chilling like Black. I'd be masturbating everywhere!

[kacres1]

@k0sta5 Dude - that is awesome!!!

[k0sta5]

@kacres1 It's actually pretty rude but that's what I felt like when I heard that shredding lol

[dhensley1967]

This SONG and this version rocks my brain EVERY time.

[myancov]

Tracii > Slash

[TruthUnderFire]

That first Schenker solo is argueably his best ever. At 2:13

[virginiapicker]

Remember when this came out - this song really jumped out, cause of the energy and amazing guitar work. I think Schenker and Gunns really complement each other's playing on this one. They're different enough to keep it interesting, like you're listening to a conversation between two amazing talents. Rest of the band sounds great, too. Boy, remember when MTV actually played videos like this?

[Lalo3001]

Not as a great as the original by Mott (no offense meant), but still very good! Great effort!

[1962drob]

ROCK AND ROLL LIVES FOREVER!!! IT WILL NEVER DIE!!!!

[LORDGOAT1976]

Didn't Black die?

[corunderground]

@LORDGOAT1976 He died in a fire ball of a car crash in 2006.

[Thunderstorm500]

@corunderground

What shit are u talking, Richard is not dead.

[LORDGOAT1976]

Still have it on Cassette doesn't play to great but this song.

[LORDGOAT1976]

Great Mott The Hoople cover.

[mrissygo]

Gracias.... llevaba tiempo buscando está super canción... Excelente

[Kabul81]

Awesome collaboration!!!!!!

Jman

[hc82288]

traci guns is a good player and he plays some good licks with good strat tone on this tune but at rehearsals when he heard Schenker play that lick at 4:00 he must of thought " jeez, what the f*&k am I gonna do now?"

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

This is just good old ROCK & ROLL!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!

[TeleCustom72]

Schenker plays a blinder on this, still loving the guitar jam at the end after all these years.

[OnlyForAngels]

This blows the original version away, which is hard to do with covers....

[r1skate]

@OnlyForAngels Mott poured it on Contraband poured it on. Kinda tough to outdo MS on guitar... :-D

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

GREAT "ROCKING TUNE"!!!!!!!!!!!

[LBjim]

These guys kicked ass!!..they should have toured and/or released another disc..

[59bitty]

cool video,cool band

[MetallicBill]

You can tell that SCHENKER sound stands out, cantcha?! Anywho, be sure to see my channel segment, it's up on front at the moment, but suffered ever increasing sync issues and that was not a problem on my local HDD

[MetallicBill]

@mnhay27 Someone removed it, not me, EVeryone's entitled to their opinion, as I find that Schenker's prolific work in recent years lacks the earlier inspiration, it's no less impressive given Schenker dedicated his life to playing, and it's paid off I think. No one has replaced him, yet

[TurboThrash]

Still got the CD of this album. listen to it daily such a classic tune and period.

[ROBERTVANJOVI]

buen HARD ROCK

[theuncletodd]

@skullvomit666 Weak?!? snarling guitars between Tracii and the Schenk?? Love Mott but this version is a worthy companion

[lisamaria1972]

I use to love this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I played this song over and over!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

GREAT COVER OF MOTT THE HOOPLE!!!!!!!

[natetureboy1618]

there was not a single shot with the singer that doesn't look absolutely ridiculous, how could they let him make such a fool of himself, maybe to take the heat off the fact that they're almost as silly looking, there are way too many people that seem proud of this production, it's not like the song makes up for the video either

[FreeMTrider]

@natetureboy1618 maybe they should sit in front of the camera, no shirt, say nothing and pretend they are doing something important like yourself?

Stop taking yourself so serious man and enjoy the fun they're having. We are not listening to amateurs here.

[MetallicBill]

@natetureboy1618 It's a cover, and it's a jam as the band were intending to do, I think Richard Black looks best in the Street Cowboy look, with the black hat, Anyway, it's meant to probably show a relaxed Jam attitude, where I recall friends doing much the same in a basement with a drumkit

[MetallicBill]

Still sounds fresh, I had a hankerin' for Schenkerin' Actually I caught the relatively new Joe Elliot England Rocks and there was Ian Hunter! Of course

[Albertblackmore]

Puesto más de mil pesos a que no conocian a esta banda...

[theosu66]

Yes!

[AntK1968]

I bought this CD when it came out, and I still listen to it every now and then. This is such a great song, I love the way they re-did it. BTW, does anybody else think that Richard Black looks a lot like John Cusack? LOL

[atarishark]

Badass. Still love this song, especially this version. Thank you for posting this!

[2TUFSS]

Great song, I knew there had to be some reason I loved it when I first heard it... then discovered the presence of Schnecker/Tracii Guns/Blotzer!

[kirkwanglers32]

Michael Schenker is god.

Awesome Axe Man

[leekmuncher7474]

Ah, this takes me back...Raw Power on ITV with Phil (Alexander) & Ann (?). The only rock/metal programme on tv at that time unless you had Sky and could watch Headbangers Ball - which I couldn't :-(

[onlyfredfox]

[boycbronco]
