Wrathchild America - Spy

[TheMob174]

Love this band. Wish they would make a comeback. Istill prefer these guy's over Metallica. James H. wishes he could write stuff this good. Larrs, step aside, Shannon has you beat any day

[TheHurff]

didnt shannon larkin play drums in this band?

[TheHeavymetalpenguin]

@TheHurff Yes sir.

[andythrashcore]

muy buena banda,no tuvieron suerte

[bloodthirst72]

This album had reggea, classical, record scratching, and fucking METAL for days. Shit should have been huge. They were dream theater before dream theater but way more entertaining. Sucks that it went over everyone's heads. Still one of my favorite albums of all time.

[Univox1968]

these guys could have blew twisted sister, quiet riot, etc off the fuckin stage. so sad it didn't happen. it could happen NOW.

[Univox1968]

I agree with brycepunk. This kills. awesome.

[priinzeciitakrtoon]

LOVE IT!

[WrathchildVA]

I wish Wrathchild America was still together. I never got to see them in concert. It use to piss me off watching Headbangers Ball back in the early 90's, for 3 hours of videos, you'd be lucky to see 30 minutes of good thrash videos, it was all glam rock shit. And MTV barely showed the same the thrash videos multiple times like shit from Aerosmith, Kiss, Winger and all the glam rock crap that was out at that time.

[herbiedrumr369]

@WrathchildVA daaammm brotha,,hate to hear that,,,how did ya NOT get to go to a live W.C.A show....i dont have the heart to tell ya how many times we got to see and hang with dez muggz from late "climbing the walls era to the S.A.Z change over.

[neojimmy721]

This band was awesome!!! talented musicians.... i saw some footage on how they started off as a garage band earning 150 dollars a week running around local bars trying to make ends meet, but still they stayed away from that 80´s Glam Rock and kept their own influences.... thank you for posting this \m/

[ebronson78]

Man, this was a great band. I am going to have to bust out this cassette..... I mean compact disc.

[plantguy666]

@ebronson78 good one.

[batmmannn]

Many nights at the Rabbits Foot in Frederick, Good times, I was amazed at the Drummer he was like 19 years old or some shit and had incredibly fast double kickers. I'm a good drummer but this kid was the shit and he grew up in the next County in Martinsburg WV.

[katanagrupo]

i love this song /,,/

[TeddyRodriguez818]

Wrathchild America. goddamn what an amazing band, i barley discovered them from my bro, i wish they were still around, i mean listen to this its like 20's Metal it seems as if they missed there boat, I believe they couldve have been a band next to Megadeth,Anthrax, And Slayer. **WrathChilD AmericA**

[infamouslefty]

I remember seeing this on Headbanger's Ball back in the day. So glad I found it on YT!  Great song!

[mrbrew01]

Thee best bar band to catch live! Originality and creativity and some humor as Shannon sings "Slave To My Dick" and "Somebody put something in my drink". And a bunch of other songs no other bar band had the guts to play. Thanks for the buzz guys!

[sixx3times]

This album reminds me of back in the day when we left for Modesto at the drop of a dime. 2 a.m. we left Los Angeles just so friend can see his gurl. And this was one of many road tunes we had. Good times. Good times. I miss those days.

[floridametalhead]

My first Metal concert back in JrHigh!.. this guys opened for Testament.. I was in the pit for the first time, only 13 years old..... i miss those Days!!

[Mrskullzluver]

one of the best live bands

[angel071]

this was such a great album.. what happened to them??

[606thecliff]

Sucks that the drummer plays in Fagsmack now

[neojimmy721]

@606thecliff the band has a name and its not fagsmack... its not right for you to come out dissing on another band on a wrathchild america video

[7600fan]

reminds me of my old high school times. Good times..

[LooseCannon666]

I live in Baltimore & used to see them every time they played Hammerjacks.They were great live.

[faisalroute66]

fucking awesome !!!!!!!!!!

[mithfin1]

I was doing lights for a band back in '85 when we opened for them in York, PA. Good times.

[DMONROY09]

shit i feel old!

[creepsomber]

Hehe, yeah, I know what you mean! In the interview that Brad and Shannon did for the 'Ball, they referred to the energy of the "kids" during a live show. Those "kids" were your typical 17 year olds at the time. And now we're in our mid 30's!

[fishguru73]

Look people, Wrathchild is the only metal band that ever used a 1920's swing line in a metal song. Their creative and everything they've done is underrated. This wasn't just your average garage band and they made it on their creativity as they well deserved for the time and thought they put into their songs.

[AdammTheDude]

agree man they have a bluesy way all in their songs, what makes this stuff fuckin great, and an oldskool thrash band, with Brads voice.

When ive first heard Sorrounded by idiots, it took me 1 week to listen to an other song, from other band.

[blacklightsouth]

You're forgetting Dangerous Toys and Bullet Boys.

W.A. will always be one of my favorite bands to ever exist. I miss them! I saw them when I was in elementry school! I remember my older sister taking me to West Springfield, VA to see them in concert (JAXX). THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!!

[fishguru73]

@fishguru73 I went back reading my own words and I can't believe it was a year ago that I made the comment. To get it exactly right, this is the only metal band that used the absolute 20's swing line for the majority of song and ended on a perfect crime show sound out of the old movies. I love Steve Vai and a ton of others and I can't get enough of great music. These guys never got the credit and recognition they deserved and I will be listening to great stuff like this forever.

[zvanigno]

oooo great!!!

[SEAHAGS76]

Fuck those Thrash Bands Lamb Of God isnt Thrash either lol.

[ajvarofdoom]

hell yea fuck those fagot ass bands

^^

there's way better shit out there

[atomictransmissions]

AAbsolutely smokin! I saw these guys when I was a spud.These guys put on the best show ever! I am a smokin musician;and I bow to them.They were better live than anybody.I named my boy after Brad Divens! Bradley W.

[bmetal420]

trial suicide

[666trixie1]

This is what I do for lunch--find the old stuff

that I still listen to.......

Nevermore is the only new stuff I can find.

Any help would be nice...send me a message for ideas I am 42 and hate the radio

[keltimatewarrior]

dude check out these newer thrash bands warbringer,municipal waste,merciless death, lamb of god and there are a shit load of others out there you should definitely check them out

[oldschoolthrasher01]

Check out VSD from Baltimore on here. They were around at the same time as Wrathchild. Seven songs recorded live in 1987 including Mental breakdown, Girl Troubles, Life of Scum and 4 other bad ass old school metal songs.

[bigstickel]

so fucking thank you for posting

[stevieVantanna]

amazing musicians!

[snuffereet]

These guys probably should be considered prog-metal because of the time changes and measures, both albums kicked butt, but I think i enjoyed 3-D better, Desert Grins is the best song!

[FromtheDarkstream]

Their best shit ain't in a video - you got to find the CD's - 2 as WA 2 more and a EP as Souls at Zero.

[brycepunk]

One of the best metal albums nobody ever heard. Such a shame more people bought White Lion and Nelson than these guys. This shit is so good.

[angeldownmetal]

now this is a thrash metal band, its a shame they dont have bands like this anymore

[dawnofpossesion]

Wow...Im gonna make u dissapear....I miss this band, I have to dig out my Wratchchild tapes...dont u guys love utube?

kickass!!

[loprovideo]

these guys were so cool, its too bad Souls at Zero didnt get more noticed, they were one of the best bands out there!!! thanks for the post, bro!!!(one of my FAVS)

[mrjeffjohnson]

where do i get drinks?

[Kaiwynn]

Wow...

Brad with long hair...

Terry without glasses...

Jay without a goatee/beard

Shannon with a real band...

Times have changed

YOU GUYS STILL ROCK!!!

[GoDSMaCk4EvA]

what do u mean shannon with a real band.....UR FORGETTING GODSMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! hes at his best playin with tony robbie and sully

[RobotChikkin]

A real band is one you make, build with your own two hands.

Sorry man but I disagree with you. Godsmack is a cookie cutter band.

If you like Godsmack then thats cool I suppose. To each their own.

But I dont.

[GoDSMaCk4EvA]

lol ok i get the ''real band'' thing.... but how is godsmack a cookie cutter band? they r awesome and unique..there are no other bands around that sound anything like them.

[Kaiwynn]

well not exactly cookie cutter. I take that back.

I like every aspect of them but not the singer.

I saw them at Monsterfest or Ozzfest, and they did a 20 minute long version of Voodoo. Even the band looked bored. I guess it stuck with me.

(BTW sorry about the post under the name robotchikkin, I have a few names, heheh.)

I tll you what, Ive got a CD of theirs floating around somewhere. I'll listen to it.

[GoDSMaCk4EvA]

lol yh voodoo isnt the best song and i appreciate u being optimistic :D if u have faceless thats the best album and the first song is everyones favourite, its awesome :D

[hitandrun83]

you want to see something good, with shannon? look up another animal.... its with everybody in godsmack minus sully, one of the original guitarist and the former singer from ugly kid joe.... its pretty impressive!

[GoDSMaCk4EvA]

ive seen one song and it was classic shannon..rockin awesome and his style going good :D

[CynikalDog]

This is the best part about YouTube--seeing shit that's lost, isn't being sold, and hasn't been seen in decades. These guys rocked.

Of course, the drummer is in Godsmack now, so you can still see him on a national stage, if that's your thing.

[kuhnible]

The greatest metal band ever!

[creepsomber]

Holy shit, I haven't seen this in 15 years, looked for it just before you posted it, but sadly did not see it. They really nail the 1930's detective vibe. Thank you!!!!!!

[RockbertoRocks]

Wow!! Never seen this vid, Wrathchild America rocked. Thanks for posting!!
