Heavy Pettin - Rock ain't dead

[NickFDNY]

JUST AMAZING

[jafipriest]

Strange. This reminds me of something. That is WHY I did not buy that record back then. The vocals! Argh. And sorry ... no! It has got NOTHING to do with Mutt Lange or anything else. That is funny indeed.

[bigmopettin]

@jafipriest i never said it had anything to do with Mutt?ead it again.

[muloc100]

Oh Dear! I have the LP!!

[NYBloodyArrow7400]

wait isn't that the singer for Helix?

[bigmopettin]

funny but know one told me my song was in a movie! Fuckin record companies,i shit em!

[bigmopettin]

Hey, all you tossers out there in fuckin wonderland!Hamie sounds awsome for yer 80`s shit,and if you told him he was gay to his face sonny,you`d have got yer cunt kicked in,then i`d have gave ye seconds!you know guns and roses came along next with fuckin whinney axle fuckin rose and Punky with a hat(slash) ! so life was not kind to us,by the way Rob Halford is gay but fuckin superb god like can you sing that shit? Tossers!

[bravens2173]

this song would be really good if it wasn't for the vocals. The music and chorus reminds me a little of early DEF LEPPARD.

[bigmopettin]

@bravens2173 we were the same sort of band back then but they got Mutt Lange and the rest is history! brian adams/shania twain,all sounds like deff leppard ya muppet..ps,leave the bible alone its just a story!?,

[bravens2173]

@bigmopettin Dude, you have anger issues. Apperently you can't handle criticism. You probably can't hold a job or even a marriage if an ass 9 like you can even find a woman to wed. Also, if the bible is just a story why are factual events happening that the bible foretold. It doesn't even matter too me what you say about the bible or GOD, you are a puny nat that GOD can just flick away, so I don't think I need to stand up for Him. You're a JOKE.

[bigmopettin]

@bravens2173 Hey,dud,maried for 25 years same woman.I got me 4 kids,all good to go.we`re all gonna die,and you ain`t going nowhere special lighten up and get on with the party,you`re only 37, ill health is just around the corner! LOL.,WAKEN UP!

[TheBlitzkrieg63]

Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

[RebelliousHutterite2]

5 stars!?! What is wrong with you people

[scottg936]

so bad that its good.

[Waspnation2112]

fuck me that voice is awful, he can hit high notes but thts gay haha like rob halford on helium

[gunsnroseskickass]

His voice is strange... I like it!

[pabl0100]

Always thought they sounded ok till Hamie opened his mouth! Didn't Gordon Bonner end up playing keyboards for Tigertailz after this?

[bigmopettin]

@pabl0100 yes Gordon did play keyboards for them. but he engineered on their album first,does this help you put us down you twat! lol.

[heckfricker]

Just got a old copy of BIG BANG on amazon. pretty rare

[MadForM9950Cal]

fail.

[machodonna]

YEEEAAAH!

PURE COCK ROCK!

[kayrosx1]

awsome, seen ya in the apollo...wheres mendosa these days?

[Abbieleigh100]

Uh? They dont play anymore..

[kaayk45]

Does anyone know about these guys and where they play?

[CWilliams4296]

love this cd!!!!

[sevenallmaiden]

the scenes of this video are of some film? What is the name of this film?

[deadguydan]

Possibly a movie titled Incident at Channel Q" or something like that. It looks VERY familiar and it has been a LONG time since I saw the movie.

[zbaby82]

Yes, Incident at channel Q, (1986).

[sevenallmaiden]

I LOVE THIS! \m/

[GladtoAge]

THEY WERE GREAT! Great arrangement!

[moondevil41]

The chord arrangement starting at 2:32 is great! They definitely had better chops than most bands of that time.

[sanitysvoid]

I saw this band in the early 80's with Accept in San Diego. They sucked then and now that I got a better listen they really suck now.

[pianodudessbc13]

This band is awesome!!! My mom knows the lead singer. She works for a law firm in Birmingham. He's actually a real estate agent now. Kinda wierd, huh?

[MickyIvory6969]

Check out Medusa by Mothers Ruin. One of the songs after Pettin split. I put it on today

[glutusmaximus]

Their best album was their last one "Big Bang" not a bad track on the whole album and Hamie does'nt use his anoying scream on it. This album would have made them Big Time if it was given the publicity it was due. Unfortunately the band split and it got shag all.

[BlackSkinnyJeans1]

Loobz73 is pretty much right. Punky does keep himself to himself

[BlackSkinnyJeans1]

Pettin are pretty cool my dad was friends with the guy with the white guitar the guys name is Punky

[NAZI44]

INCIDENT AT CHANNEL Q

[NeilThompson30]

I've just been reading all the comments on this. Def Leppard this - Scottish Def Leppard - Whaaaat! I bought this when it came out and it's ten times better than anything that 'eee by gum' crap could come out with. Could they write a song as good as Dreamtime or Angel? They are total opposites - Heavy Pettin' are very melodic whereas Leppard rely on the beat. I was once in a lift with Leppard in Covent Gdn and I once saw Pettin' doing a photo shoot in Notting Hill. The coolest? Heavy Pettin'!

[NeilThompson30]

I was reading an interview with this lot the other day. It implied they copied Def Leppard. If that's the case how come this is one helluva band and Def Leppard are a joke?

[RqtballPro]

You people don't know shit about music. You only wish you could jam period, all jealous. Atleast they made albums and all are doing side projects in music today, get a life.

[Loobz73]

To tell the truth, Gordon sells Car Alarms, Moatsy doesn't play that much anymore, Brian is now an accomplished artist/schulptor and Punky keeps himself to himself. Only hamie tried to put the band back together in America with different members and it didn't work. Cha Ching!

[bigmopettin]

you know fuck all

[kaayk45]

I know Hamie haven't seen him in years. Just know he married quit the music scene. Never thought i would log on you tube and see him still rocking.

[Doobie1975]

Would you have "In and Out of Love" available?

[NWBHM21stCent]

suparodog is an alcoholic loser. He is also a dickhead nincompoop. Read him and laugh at him. Humiliate him until he dies. He is useless.

[NWBHM21stCent]

Yeah while you were outside drinking, the band was fucking your burd backstage. Ha ha ha ha! Alcoholic loser.

[suparokdog]

I checked with the wife about this and she doesn't remember this 'event'...they must have been shite at this as well...

[NWBHM21stCent]

You really are an arse. You think the wife's about to let you know her dirty little secrets Pettin the boys in a gang bang. Ya alcoholic loser. Ha ha ha ha!

[suparokdog]

There's no secrets in our house and I don't care who she fucks...

[bigmopettin]

dont believe the hype its only 99.95% true ask any body.

[MickyIvory6969]

I've put Medusa on. Just search Medusa Mothers Ruin Heavy Pettin

[PaddyGoo]

Naw, she was so slack you could drive a bus up, so the Pettin guys had no chance!

[bigmopettin]

paddygoo drinks special brew

[ChelseaSaughton]

Punky Mendoza (Guitarist) is now my english teacher.

[Tentacleed]

lol, no wonder they never made it, the vocal is so annoying :)))

[Doobie1975]

Would you have the video to "In and Out of Love", one thing what I wonder is why didn't Heavy Pettin make it big?

[Nocturnus6355]

Scottish Def Leppard clones

great song!

[invalidmyazz]

hahahah

[ThieleM]

Wow....he sure has a high pitched voice.

Not sure I could get through an entire album. This isnt a dig on them but they remind me of Def Leppard with a dose of helium.

[Fret01]

ROFLMAO!

[Paranoid5150]

It's Rock 'n' Roll and it will never die!

Long Live Rock 'n' Roll.

[mobiousproductions]

OMG the lead singer, Steven Hayman, is my uncle. Its true i SWEAR!

[guitardan666]

hes your uncle??? wow.....id kill for his autograph on my heavy pettin picture discs

your uncles a fucking GOD!!!!!!!!!!

[boiledegg101]

i love his vocals i dont care what anyone says haha. its an interesting voice, and noone can say he's not in tune, so hes a good singer. he just has a high vocal range

[potetmannene]

hehe, yes, a good singer, though not the sound i like^^

[potetmannene]

it would have been awesome with a different vocal that i agree on!

[potetmannene]

oh my god....O.o

what a ugly vocal:P

i listen to much aor n glam but this...

he`s like a squirrel.....:P

nah, not for my likin

[oldhardrock75]

But you must to admit thet this music is just great. Much better than that of other glam bands.

[potetmannene]

hehe, ne, i dont think so, but thats just what i mean...

but hey, all got different types of rock they like^^

[oldhardrock75]

Vocal is not everything. Listen to the music!

In my opinion it sounds much better than pretty boy bands such as Poison or White Lion (they were good for teenagers only). The harmonies in Heavy Pettin songs are perfectly suited and that's why I think they are just great. Rock music is the art of the harmony, among others.

[shakers1970]

has anyone got "love times love" haven't heard it for years, daughter broke my "45"god dam !!!!

[vixen0217]

Es un tema exquisito!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dannyel21]

Que voz de mierda!!!!!

[vixen0217]

Pobre imb{ecil!!!Sacate una voz como esa est{upido de mierda!

[dannyel21]

no por suerte nunca!!! el violero es muy bueno pero esa voz, mamita!!! esos grititos re GAY, el tema esta bueno. despues de escuchar a tipos como Daniel Gildenlöw de pain of salvation no puede nunca gustarme una voz asi!!!

[vixen0217]

Pobre imbècil!

No me extraña!

[dannyel21]

te preocupas mucho me parece...

[vixen0217]

Te importa?

[metalicper]

Que buen tema carajo...!!

[chip2munk]

[zbaby82]

Nice song.

[gatekeeper5348]

well rock will be dead if they dont get rid of hiphop this is an awesome song and the vid is good to should have been a bigger band but they were outshined by def leepard.

[giudaaaa]

ma che minchia di voce schifosa ha.....è come la mia! ahahah anzi la mia è meglio!

[69chevy68]

lolololololololololol

[lilracersrx]

aWSOME SOLO don't hear much about this group

[Stuphynil]

Love this song, got it on vinyl.

They cut out the first part of the solo though.

[MaidenWarrior]

Big Def Lep's influence, but the only problem is that the singer sounds like he had swallen some kind of gas.

[Multifrucht]

signed :D

[ScottishSnareBear]

Punky Mendozza,Ah Happy Daze!

[WackeDanzig]

What the.... The singer sounds totally like a uggly girl with some serious drug problem!

[SabuPtolemy]

Total Def Leppard ca. 'High 'N Dry' rip off. Heavy Pettin' were truly great on 'Lettin' Loose' but this is second rate. No wonder they didn't last.

[daz3366]

u r right lettin loose was awsome!!to usa!!no what i mean!!

[NWBHM21stCent]

I know these guys... so cool

[villalk]

i know the drummer gary funny bloke

[MystycalMage]

Hamey sings in my church's praise band!!  He is so cool!

[fullshred69]

Ironically videos like this killed rock.

[UGLYTROLLPEOPLE]

I can remember Hamey when he lived in Drumcahpel Glasgow

He was *Galus* then.  * Scottish for cool dude

[reaperpro]

i know Hamey, he's a cool dude!

[xwigglejigglex]

omg this girl in my grade that's her dad! Stevie Hayman ha  =]

[Abbieleigh100]

And the drummer ;) hes mine! Ha

[Adddictt]

Great Song!! i love her!

[gypsyseagod]

not the greatest song they had - but a kick ass band damn those 80's videos - lmfao - still got this band on vinyl & cassette ( whats that duh- lol )

[Doobie1975]

I'm so glad that this video is still on here considering they've deleted alot of the music videos recorded on VH1 Classic's Metal Mania on this website.

[leftygeezer]

Scottish Def Leppard clones. Funny thing is, this bunch was about as good as the Defs. I bought their cassette in the 80's. There are better tunes than this one on it. I saw these guys at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus. Hymie was great. They seemed alot heavier live. Killer guitars. Thanx for the memory!

[zbaby82]

That's a great song. Does anyone know what movie this video was featured in? It was in the theaters in 1986. I've been looking for it for years.

[AngryAgain]

the movie was called INCIDENT AT CHANNEL Q

I might be wrong but I am pretty sure that was the film's title.

[zbaby82]

Thank you very much!

[Doobie1975]

VH1 Classic seems to be the only station that actually does play Heavy Pettin' on Metal Mania, it's a shame that Heavy Pettin' didn't make it as big as Priest, Leppard and Maiden

[NWBHM21stCent]

Cool. Greatest rock band in the world.

[markwho]

I've heard this song but never knew who did it. Thanks for posting it.

[Ratt2004]

great song!!! if only vh1 classic played more videos like these on metal mania these days, maybe us fans would not be pissed
