I saw Vendetta open for Billy Squire at the Royal Oak Music theater. King Biscuit broadcast that Squire show live across the country that night. Back to Vendetta, I had 4th row main floor seats and Niki and the band were a tuff act for Squire to follow in my opinion. I also had never heard of them until that show and the next morning with ears still ringing, I beat feet to the record store and was an instant fan. All these years gone by and I still carry the Vendetta torch!
I watched and recorded this video on 80's. I am from Brazil and that time a few bands were released here. Vendetta was not unfortunatelly. Great that I found this video. Thanks Niki. Great memories. Great song !!!
I've been looking for this since 1981, 82... This song flat out jams the whole way through. There is no let up, so grab on to something and hold on. I saw this video once and could not find anything about it since-- until now 6-3-2010. Thank you! Now I can rock this mother anytime I want.
This was one of the best hard rock albums of the early 80s ,every time I listen to it I wonder why this was not huge ??? not just babylon but jet eye knight, night time ,damn the whole album was great, I liked it so much i even bought m-80 .;-]
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmn, can't believe. Nikki Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz from M80?. I still got their LP, but in my country (Serbia and other parts of exYugoslavia) M80 were considered as speed metal.Nikki is very underrated guitarist but i do not like rated guitarists;-)
Ohhh man, I remember this song!! I always thought it rocked hard. Anyone know where I could find this? It's not at any music store, or even a resale shop. I even tried ebay, but no luck.
I will keep looking to see if you are commin' near MI. when you come to the states. I will be there. Take care over there in Amsterdam Niki, and thanks for the reply-(that was really cool). J. Nimitz
I saw these guys in Ann Arbor Michigan in the earley 80's.. they blew the damm ROOF off of the place. I found the album the next day, its some of the most kick ass rock ever. I framed the album. I found the VENDETTA CD on Ebay. That was cool....still jammin, anybody know how Nikki buzz and the other 2 dudes are doing? VENDETTA KICKA ASS!!!! ;-]....
@nimitzjr1 I saw Klyph last night in Wilkes-Barre, PA with the Jam Stampede. He's doing well and still rockin'. Get out to see them some time if you can. Best Dead cover band playing today, in my opinion.
Awesome! Very underated band, my friends at that time played this album so often that we ruined the vinyl; good times. Babylon rocks!

This song has a strong NWOBHM feel to it which I take as a good thing, why couldn't these guys make it big?

This song is so way ahead of its time for 1982, I used to think this came out around 1988/89

I remember seeing the video to this song on VH1 Classic's "Metal Mania" back in around 2003 and I thought this song seriously kicked ass!
