I totally agree. It seems that as a teenager, we were listening to everything from 1966-1985, 1986, 1987 all the way to 1992 (although by that time I already had been married for almost 4 years and had already served during the Gulf War). We all know that grunge killed the music scene and it went down from there. I am not talking about the rare good song that has come out since. Helix, Krokus, Dokken, Dio, ..I could name 1000 or more, glad I am not a teenager today! I saw some great shows!
There was also an adult version made of this video where the girls had no tops on! I kid you not. I once owned a Capitol records [i think] official promo copy which i took to my local rock club 20 odd years ago and lost!!
I'm sure,it's not the "homosexuals",that so many here loves this music video here for.I'm probably more of a 60's music fan,than you are and my OldiesCentral channel proves that but the 80's were cool too and i even like many of todays metal bands.
@bvb7589 you're so stupid,accusing of being homosexuals these guys who definitively have fucked waaaay more girls than you have even dreamed in your whole life,asshole
Helix, they are a classic Rock Band and I only wish they would come to Halifax where I live now and play so I could see them live again. Hell from the same town as Brian.
Whoever does not know traci lords is in this video is not a true traci lords fan. Helix yet another totally kick ass rock band wher the hell did awesome metal go. Now a days it is just totally shit and no one cares about true rock n roll anymore. I wish all these metal bands would come back and kick the world in the ass.
I watched this dudes in the 70's@ The Quinte Hotel when Brents brother Drummed for them and they all did not have there hair all permerd out.Great Canadain RocknRoll Group.
Cool video, up until tonite the only Helix vids I'd ever seen were Heavy Metal Love, Deep Cuts the Knife and Rock You. Is that Traci Lords at 1:50? (I actually thought it was Ginger Lynn for a second.)
And for those of y'all that didn't know, this is a cover tune. A bubblegum band called Crazy Elephant originally recorded it in 1969.
can you imagine the director shouting okay off with the tops for the next version what a beautiful thought!!by the way traci was 16 years old.the topless version is beautiful. those girls are hott.the asian girl was on soul train.
The very first rock show I went to! Helix was opening for Triumph at the Montreal Forum. The date is april 2nd or 4th 1985... I was 10 years old and had won tickets through CHOM FM so my dad took me and fell asleep during the show. I remember seeing the topless video, Tracy was underage? That's okay, so was I!!! I have been searching for it online for some time. There a fully naked video as well? Hum... Never seen that one.
Sorry, it's a cover of an old "Crazy Elephant" song from the late 60's. Capitol Records never believed in the boy's songwriting abilities. Maybe they were right,...maybe not,...but Helix did several covers over their careers by "Her Majesty's Satanic Request" { the record company who fronts the money for albums & videos }, to try to crack the MTV & commercial AM/FM formats of the eighties. It's no accident this song and "Foot in Coldwater's" "Make Me Do Anything You Want" are the chosen videos.
Cool vid. I saw these guys live 'round about 1990 if I remember correctly, on a double bill with Trooper (Raise a Little Hell, etc.). Both bands put on a fantastic show - real balls-to-the-wall rock, no posing or trying to look cool.
It's still out there if you can find a copy of a Vestron VHS video release titled "Red Hot Rock." It was a compilation of R-rated music videos released in 1984; copies pop up eBay from time to time. It contains the topless version of this video; the latter is edited quite differently. Notably, most of the women in this thing were recruited from the porn industry, making the video an almost a "whos who" of that stars of that business circa late 1982
I heard that Traci Lords is in it and she was underage at the time, which is probably one reason the topless version is hard to get. Technically you're buying child porn if she is underage. Not sure if that's urban or rural legend.
I remember seeing Micheal J Fox on a talk show saying he played in a band named Helix but they had to change the name because there was already a band named Helix.. I think it was early 90's I seen it
