Thor - Let The Blood Run Red

[TheTomangelripper]

piledriver:metal inquisition is now #1b. these mutherfuckerz are #1. ANGER!

[mashui99]

Reminds me of Anvil, which is not a bad thing

[Klaus734]

Another great example of good Canadian music.....Rush, Sex, Anvil , BTO, Amish, etc, etc.

[ilovepantera97]

@Klaus734 justin bieber is canadian :O

[Klaus734]

@ilovepantera97 , Yes, you ´re right, everywhere, you turn your head, there is a pile of shit: Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Eminem, Elton John, etc.

[ravner1976]

Paging Doctor Rockzo...

[kzbxvz]

I am from Sweden and I found this is band as a disgrace to the Norse Mythology or the nordic edda. First it is spelled Tor, second he wasn't a pumped muscle giant, and third he was against the negative aspects of the world (ask him about the weather or other natural phenomenon). I love Canada though!

[GingaGuitar]

@kzbxvz His name is John Mikl Thor, that's why the bandname is THOR.

[DaBhaalspawn]

@kzbxvz

Umm... Not that I mean to undermine your post or anything, but it's just a romanization of Þórr, for which there is no letter, and the closest sound is "th". So, Thor, Tor, Þórr, are really just saying the same thing.

[kzbxvz]

@DaBhaalspawn And what do you say about the Nazis use of the "sig" rune, namely the powerful & deadly SS army in WW2?

[DaBhaalspawn]

@kzbxvz

Actually, I think the swastika existed WAY earlier than the Futhark runes, namely, in India.

But... what does this have to do with Thor?

[kzbxvz]

@DaBhaalspawn I spoke about the runes not the swastika or whatever, and runes is a great part of the nordic saga or edda.

[DaBhaalspawn]

@kzbxvz

Uh... sure bro.

[kzbxvz]

@DaBhaalspawn Don't misunderstand me, I really like this type of heavy metal music, and it's Canadian like Anvil oooooh yes!!!

[manodotiago]

@kzbxvz Not really. Don't know which books you've been reading! Pagans made no difference between good and bad. Every god had a multilayered personality which are archetypes of human condition (positive and negative aspects). Pagans were more individualistic in the sense they did not believe in mercy or charity, nor they believed in rulers (read outside rulers). And revenge (and feuds) was a big big thing. Eventually kings got convinced of the social control benefits of Chistianity...

[Floppylikescheese]

I love this riff! So simple but so good!

[stansell1]

Also Hysterica!

[stansell1]

THOR, Saxon, DIO, Accept, Warlock, W.A.S.P.!

[manillas2]

Type kirk hammet must be gay and face the reality. Metallica AND Slayer are huge gay bands.See what Slayer do on the Combat Tour 1985,the guitarist touches the breasts of Lombardo and they both scream and laugh! These are your heroes. I wonder how thrash bands laughted at Travolta. Travolta is a man and JOHN MIKL THOR whips the so called tough metal bands.

[kornrabbit]

I wish I discovered this sooner!

[manillas2]

Metallica are gay. Type "kirk hammett must be gay" in the youtube bar.

The Hammer of Thor smashes metalica faggots.

[kDIMI7]

@manillas2 fu fuckin noob, they rock as all the other heavy metal bands

[tnt2652]

@manillas2 hahahahah xD

[JohnClaypool]

Man, I had this single on blood red vinyl back in 85'.

[xGOxPATRIOTSx139]

Haha wow my dad just told me he used to be friends with the lead singer

[TouhouGaijin]

1 person opposed the metal avenger

[MarikIshtarFTW]

1 dislike, why, WHY.

[TommyGunTyler]

theres one loser that disliked this

[heavymetal1983]

HAIL THOR! LIKE IT OR HATE IT THIS IS HEAVY METAL

[johnnydelrey]

Was he the guy who blow up inner tubes on stage until they blew up?

[JohnClaypool]

@johnnydelrey Yeah, hot water bottles. And other coll things like smashing bricks against his chest with a sledgehammer and bending a steel bar in his teeth.

[johnnydelrey]

@JohnClaypool You brought back the whole show to my mind. It almost bordered on being "a cheesy gimick" at the time, but it was a great show and everyone had a good time.I thought it was great. It's hard to believe he is still at it today. Rock and roll can go in so many directions. We all have our favorites but I almost never knock what I don't like, because I'm sure some body else will like it. If he traveled al,the way from B.C. to Asbury Park NJ, he was a serious rocker. Rock on!

[EJL2004]

fucking solid! Saw Thor play live at the brickyard a number of years ago with DOA. Awesome show.

[azrael666ethereal]

This is NOT power metal.. This is from a time when giving sub-labels to metal bands was scarce.. This is pure HEAVY METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalbornmetalbred]

the guitars/vocal melodies are somewhat reminiscent of twisted sister. i love it.

[filipemuitodoido1]

massa essa musica

[lustfordeath]

Let the Blood Run Red, let them all be dead

All those who oppose the Metal Avenger

Look them in the eyes, knock them down to size

No one must oppose the Metal Avenger

[SwedxSimon02]

For every metal band, there is at least one great riff.

[crushingalldeceivers]

All Hail Canadian metal!!!

[stansell1]

This would be all too perfect for the movie!!!! The soundtrack would absolutely rock!

[tv7po]

he was wrestler at first, didn't work out well,. so he decide to play music, that was fun when i was young, but now he just dude in a catsuit playing is ```hit``.

[faustoj26a]

This is pure fuckin' heavy metal mates!!!!!!!!!

[AAtaak]

No one shall oppose the metal avenger, ( c'mon now yeah)

[cooldad64]

Yes, he was a bodybuilder from Canada. I had this 45 single that was album sized, so I played it at 33 rpm speed and it ROCKED!!! Now I know how Type O Negative got their idea! Download this song and slow it down with a program like Quicktime and you will see what I mean!!

[standtall67]

This was the only Thor album I owned. It kicked major ass! 1984/85 Thor jammin' in my walkman. Oh yeah! I just found this on CD on EBay.

[BadFlyingV69]

Thor put out a lot of mediocre metal but on this album he and the band shine. There are some classic metal tunes on Only The Strong!

[Nightmare060]

This band can be considerd Power Metal in the same way that Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath and Deap Purple can be considerd Heavy Metal. Contain alot of elements that inspired the subgenre while still containing alot of the classic metal elements. Whichever way you look at it, this band is win!

[80rockforever]

the solo is fucking EPIC!!

such an amazing shread

THOR FTW!!

[flamingvacuumcleaner]

this is the greatest metal song ever made in the history of the universe.

[GrumpyPandaFilms]

agreed

[jackt2469]

NO ONE WILL OPPOSE THE METAL AVENGER

[fhedblues2]

thats cool!

[jordipalafox]

Thor Rules great Power Metal great album cover jjaja xd

[rsiano]

All hail the mighty Thor!!!

[LORDHATE76]

post the Brazil Thor please.

[gpiacentini]

I seriously doubt that anyone will EVER come out with something better than this.

[AssPimple69]

not better,but equal to,yes

[TheWelshFerret]

This takes me back about 25 years, loving it.

[truesteel]

this is war

[ultimatemanofwar]

great !!! this guys sound old school heavy metal !!!! despite power metal being my favorite genre along with thrash , this guys are great !!!!!

[Hitokiriitachi999]

this is pretty cool

[rashadpwnzuall]

These guys are great!

[jump4h]

why is Thor 80s-ified on the artwork?

:|... probably from the 80s

[WarriorOfSteel]

Wow im new to these guys, they sound very Judas Priestish XD

[stansell1]

Thor vs. Saxon... "Come crusader... LET BATTLE COMMENCE!"

[Nikkeloodeon]

Saw them at Sauna Open Air @ Tampere, Finland.

[Seppovesimies]

I saw them @ Levykauppa Äx for free!

[Nikkeloodeon]

Well there was Nightwish and Stratovarius too at Sauna Open Air. ^^

[irishpatrick12]

Right on bud, whats Finland like. Im an old metal head American.

[Nikkeloodeon]

Well, we have about 20 minus celsius at winter and if u know the Nokia phones, they come from Finland and many metal band is finnish (like HIM, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom and Apocalyptica).

[MetalAvenger91]

That's NOT metal,THIS is METAL. There are also great metal bands from the north,like Gotham City,that's fucking heavy metal,not shitty keyboards and melodic shit

[Nikkeloodeon]

Actually this is hard rock but it's also heavy metal, but I have nothing against this, just great music, let's enjoy it.

P.S. HIM = Love Metal/Alternative Metal, Nightwish = Symphonic Metal, Sonata Arctica = Power Metal/Progressive Metal/Neonclassic Metal, Stratovarius = Power Metal/Neonclassic Metal, Children of Bodom = Melodic Death Metal/Power Metal, Apocalyptica = Cello Metal. So they are all different kinds of Metal. :P And those were just examples.

[MetalAvenger91]

Do you notice that those groups should not be considered metal? I don't know what you mean for metal,but i mean that kind of music born with Judas priest and ended in 1990,only few bands today are still old school,bands that the most of the fake "metallers" doesn't know...they know iron maiden metallica slayer megadeth children of bodom...and no more,and this really sucks...metal it's not that kind of things,metal is supporting the underground and going to gigs,not those gigs with 10000 posers

[Nikkeloodeon]

Well, that's your opinion.

[AssPimple69]

ur a hypocrite

[MetalAvenger91]

so,why?

[NaturesBeast]

Theres only one thing to tell you people: Go kill yourself, for you fail at life.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@Nikkeloodeon Are you stupid? I know this is a year old but are fucking stupid? Love Metal? Alternative Metal? LOVE Metal? fuck. You are stupid.

This is Heavy Metal. You're a fuckin' idiot.

[Nikkeloodeon]

@ThazuaBlackarrow I didn't say THIS was anything like Love or Alternative metal, nor that I would listen to those.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@Nikkeloodeon I know you didn't say that. This is all about you saying Love Metal and Alternative Metal are actual Metal genres.. HAHAHAHAHA

[Nikkeloodeon]

@ThazuaBlackarrow That's what the Wikipedia says, can't help it. =)

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@Nikkeloodeon Because we all know Wikipedia is the most reliable and truthful source of information on the internet and everyone should believe it.

[Nikkeloodeon]

@ThazuaBlackarrow Ofc. Okay srsly, I just don't care.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@Nikkeloodeon I don't care if you don't care, I'm going to point out that you're an idiot for, both, thinking Love Metal and Alternative Metal exists, AND for giving such shitty bands as examples, anyway.

[Nikkeloodeon]

@ThazuaBlackarrow Then I'll accept that I'm an idiot. -.-

[tuegy]

@MetalAvenger91 Definitely Gotham City!!! Fuck yeah!!!

[DaveRapoza]

@MetalAvenger91 Some of their songs have keyboard stuff :O

[kDIMI7]

@MetalAvenger91 why u hate these genres mate? melodic power/heavy/ (sometimes and mel. rock) are good 2

[thrasharn]

@MetalAvenger91 Gotham City, from my town. They're fucking awesome! True heavy metal.

[heavystrooper]
