Wannabe band? Better than half their fucking contemporaries. Also, "Coup de Grace," their latest album, was better than anything done by Def Leppard or Bon Jovi lately, or if your into real metal, anything the "greats" have released in recent years. Treat are awesome. Go listen to Nickelback...wannabe
Another great song from Treat :D. Can anybody tell me which version is this? I have already heard the two studio versions but none of them sound like that! Well, the one in the album "Scratch And Bite" is more similar to this one but it has differences. Any clues?
But why on eart isn't this the whole song? The second verse is missing! Damn shame on such a good song.
Wouldn't call them a wannbe band, they made records from 1983 - 1993. If they are a wannabe band then the whole glammetal period in the world is wannabe.
Yes, this band still lay it out...Saw them on a swedish rock festival, and thought they sounded pretty damned good. Haven't bought any of their stuff since the eighties but I bought their new album, and if that's not one of the best albums you've heard in a while in this genre please tell me what the hell I'm missing out on, because this stuff is A grade stuff man!
@10569970 Great band but the genre sucks. IMO the best HM was in the 70's and then again in the 90's. The 80's was a dark decade with Hair metal, synthesizers and whiplashes instead of cymbals. The 70's was Antiquity, the 80's the Dark Ages and 90's the Renaissance of Heavy Metal.
@fbendz Eh?The decade that had Maiden,Saxon,Accept,Judas Priest,Metallica,Anthrax,Slayer,Helloween,Running Wild,Megadeth,Testament,Death,Dio,Ozzy Osbourne,Scorpions,WASP and the "posers" that actually had talent is the dark age of metal?
@TheGreatDuck At least Maiden, Saxon, Accept, Judas Priest, Dio, Ozzy and Scorpions started their careers in the 70's. They were 70's band carrying over to the 80's. IMHO, most of the stuff these bands did in the 70's and *very early* 80's beats anything they did later. It's a matter of taste, of course, but I prefer most of their early stuff. You can't compare the other bands you mention with what Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc did in the 70's.
@fbendz Maiden,Dio and Ozzy all released their debut albums in the 80s (not counting Ozzy's and Dio's past bands),Priest and Scorpions were better in the 70s,but released some really good albums in the 80s,and Saxon and Accept released only one album in the 70s each,and both of them were pretty mediocre when compared to their 80s stuff.
Also,LZ definitely isn't a metal band,and DP is only borderline metal.
As for production,BA may have had better production,but the 80s material was still better.
@TheGreatDuck I disagree that the music of the 80's was better than of the 70's, but as I said, it's a matter of taste. No point in arguing who is right.
@TheGreatDuck OK, there was lots of good metal in the early 80's. I give you that, but I still think metal turned to shit during the second half of the 80's, so I refine my original statement and say that the second half of the 80's were the dark ages. (And just like in the real dark ages, there were some glimpses of light). If you think about it, you will find that almost any of the 80's metal bands made their best records early in their career, before Heavy Metal turned into Hair Metal
@fbendz Heavy metal never turned into hair metal,hair metal is a different thing and isn't even a real genre,and most glam metal bands didn't even play metal.
Bands like Maiden,Queensryche,Helloween,WASP,Pantera and Savatage released some of their best albums in the late 80s.The era also saw the advent of death metal with bands like Death,Morbid Angel,Obituary and Autopsy.
There were also some great heavy and power metal bands,like Crimson Glory,Blind Guardian or Skid Row.
@TheGreatDuck Those bands are not my cup of tea. Perhaps Helloween Keeper of the seven keys part I and II - and Number of the Beast is a masterpiece (released 1982), unarguably Maiden at their best. Sure, there were glimpses of light, but let's look at other bands. What happened to the giants of the 70's like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Nazareth, UFO, Rainbow, Foreigner, Journey, etc in the 80's? Their music "developed" backwards!
@TheGreatDuck I agree that Foreigner and Journey weren't Heavy Metal, but Uriah Heep, UFO and Nazareth were metal before the new wave. The term was originally coined to classify those bands. I think they are all mentioned in the Wikipedia article about Heavy Metal.
@fbendz dude!Heavy metal never turned into hair metal!Heavy metal was is and will be forever hair metal is not genre but just a image!that termin cames in early 90s!so sleaze and glam arent so much musical genre glam and sleaze are hard rock!But with some other influences but it still kickass!
@TheGreatDuck One more thing. Of course there wasn't any thrash or speed metal in the 70's (unless you count Venom) so if you prefer that kind of music, you could be right, but don't you agree that the 80's production was much worse than the 90's? I mean, compare the Black Album (from 1991) to what Metallica did in the 80's, or compare the production of e.g. Stratovarius later albums with Helloween. Or compare Venom with Dimmu Borgir. In the 80's, thrash sounded like they played in the wardrobe.
I saw them last month in Germany. Of course they are a little bit older now, but they really rock. It was just amazing. The last album is just the pure rock feeling - one of the best of 2010.
Industry talk. He means 00's Pop culture got to him being an inferior Pop Rap industry with their Rock is uncool definitions. They trashed everything Rock with Pop appeal to force Rap, read Hip Pop on everyone in order to test its market. It's not doing too well though. Music sales are down all the time, so change is just around the corner.
Meaning: if you really don't like the music, why bother posting? Thanks to the OP for the upload nonetheless. Great band, great music, great song!
Oh yeah, like there isn't a shitload of wannabe bands today. Treat are a million times better then most of what passes for rock music nowadays, there as good as, if not better then Europe were.
I also hate how the uploader claims that treat is a wannabe band. Their albums can stand up with the best of the hair bands from the 80s IMO and they're better.
Great band! Mats "Dalton" Dahlberg (drums) roxx! :) His own band "Dalton" have made some REALLY nice stuff as well! Check out their CD "Love injection" from -88/89 or somrething.
I have to agree with you on that. Dalton are the true pudels. ;)
But I think their debut "The race is on" is not bad either even if the production is not that great but better production than Alien's self-titled album in 1988. And in my opinion they haven't made any bad songs in their career. I must admit I enjoyed Dalton's "Injection" more than Treat's "Organized Crime"... I don't like that album by Treat.
I'm a big Europe fan. And i knew them first. But i have to say that i prefer Treat since i heard them the first time.And they have A LOT of great songs. If you like the Treat/Europe style it is a must for you to check out the earlier "BAD HABIT" records. Don't forget about them.
Great tune from a Great band! I'm in the states and wish bands like Treat could have made it around here...oh well still got the CD's and their videos!!! Thanks for the post!!
The suported Queen at Råsunda in Stockholm in 1986 & in 1988 they played along with Kiss & David Lee Roth at Monsters Of Rock in Germany! In late 1985 / early 1986 they played at a huge stadium in Poland along with 220 Volt. It was 80000 people if I remember right!
Don't say something you don't know! Wanna bes? They were Swedens greatest Hard Rock band around 1985 & early 1986 (before Europe turned into pop-metal...). They toured a 100 gigs-tour in Sweden in 1985! They were and still is something big.
