  • Is that Gary Cole?!

  • solo doesnt fit the song

  • ..well mickdoo... u are right about how good these guys are together.....and... i like Dream Theater and HATE Geddy Lees voice// :P that said Pete L is truly a gifted player..and they frankly were killed in the frenzy that followed the various Seatle heroin addicts who also happened to be in bands..ouch:P...i would like to see these guys record again!

  • Harem Scarem was the BEST in their genre. It's a shame they broke up. Now Pete Lesperance is doing a cheesy, bland acoustic/electric singer-songwriter "thing" that frankly sucks.... bad! His strength is crunchy big guitars, not acoustic crap. His voice isn't compelling enough to carry it.

    Hopefully these guys come to their senses and get back to Harem Scarem greatness. Great bands stay together......look at Rush, Dream Theater, etc.....pigeon holed or not, great music is great music.

  • This rocks!...Top band. Shame they aren't still goin'

  • I meant phenomenal band, by the way. Forgot the n.

  • Extreme meets Def Leppard. Great Melodic Hard Rock. Even their modern sounding stuff and their time as the Third Eye Blind-esque Rubber was awesome. Always changed their sound up a bit and executed perfectly. Phenomenal bad!

  • I feel this song was written specifically for Casey Anthony getting off not guilty...

  • I use to listen to this band when I was younger. Brings back memories..

  • Who cares what group it is! They are all Great. If only some groups today would match the same carisma and talent. I heard this group on a canadian radio station when I used to live in Buffalo. What a band. Hey guys you were good and still are #1.

  • just checked on i-tunes . it is there so feel free to buy it : )

  • tried to buy it on itunes......it's not there! WTF?

  • RUSH who?

  • @stubyinferno ignorant...

  • Are yoou guys IGNORANT? RUSH is teh best Band to ever grace the Lands of Canada....Harem Scarem is a good band but not even close to RUSH...Good Lord- Screw your head in straight! JEEEZE!

  • I thought the requirement to be a singer was that you had to have the "it" factor and be hot......musical ability or passion has nothing to do with it I was told.

  • The Best Band to EVER come out of Canada. I wish they got more air play in this Country, because these guys rock like nobody else can and Harry has the coolest voice I have ever heard.

  • AWESOME!!Makes u wonder once again how music keeps going down thse days....

  • \\ // \\ // \\

  • a must buy,,,

  • eyvallah ;)

  • Great song. I still listen to this CD. One of Canadas many under rated bands. Thanks for the good times guys!

  • I fucked all these guys back in the day behind the Mainstreet lounge. HONESTLY

  • this is my favourite song on this album

  • grunge is over and Melodic Rock is coming back big time .

    it never went away in my mind .

    time for music to be fun again ; )

  • I bet this song gave Grunge some filthy punches in the face back in the day

  • Pete Lesperance is a Van Halenish, Steve Vaish, Nuno Bettencourtish type of guitarist, very melodic. he uses a lot of major scale and pentatonic scales down the fretboard.. he also had an awesome voice and sings well..can't wait for him to record an instrumental album.. if only Vito Bratta would comeback to White Lion, another melodic van halenish type of guitarist that would be one hell of rockshow. . Harem Scarem is all about big heavy guitar riffs over melodic husky voices. Great Band

  • What an AWESOME song... from an awesome band! these canadians really know how to rock it out... would love to see them with Kick AXE or Honeymoon Suite! ... even Helix... so much great rock from the North! ... Love the comments too! ... 80's METAL!!!!

  • its annoying why this band is not bigger than it is.............. ITS ONLY BECAUSE THERE CANADIAN...........IF THEY WERE AMERICAN THEY WOULD BE MUCH BIGGER THAN THEY WERE

  • Naprosto úžasný.co dodat super

  • Mood Swings it's AMAZING!

    One of the greatests hard rock albuns ever.

  • PERFECTION!!!!! The Whole album is a ~Masterpiece~.

  • bloody right & now they've sadly called it a day, & there is no justice because these guys deserved to be has big has jovi,there miles better anyway.

  • Awsome song!!!!!!

  • Haha awesome that this video is on youtube. I kid you not, I'm the kid rolling in the tire with the rat tail in the junkyard. Got paid 30 bucks to be in this video. I was 9 years old. My moms friend peter directed it. Hes the guy diving into lake Ontario there.

  • that is sooo cool. It is amazing to read some of the comments here. Thanks.

  • bout 3:40.......I TEND TO LOSE IT!!

  • yup great indeed..no one better out there right now... theres not much..Shinedown..a few others...this song truly has a message as well..listen to it....have talked with Pete Lesperance...the writer /guitar player for these guys...a brilliant and humble dude ..check out these guys more..and check out Petes website

  • great band. Heard them through Degrassi Schools Out & was amazed by how catchy their music was. This song of course is pretty heavy for them

  • What a cool band, and awesome solo!!!!

  • I live in the Netherlands, been to a concert once over here and I'm fan of them for over 15 years now... they are great..

  • THIS HAS ALWAYS ROCKED !! SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT IN THE 90's

  • There are some good prog elements to this song.

  • lmfao, my mom is dating mike. (:

  • and im dating you :) :P lmfaoooo

  • ahaha yes, yes you are (:

    hehe

    i love you!

  • lol. i love you too baby :) <33

  • he he you guys!!! And dont these guys sound a bit like extreme, its a shame i jus discovered them, man, wat music!!

  • One fucking amazing band, if around in 86-87 they would have been as big as Bon Jovi or Def Leppard.. for sure!

    Its a crime Harem Scarem are not widely known !

  • Their biggest downfall, is they are canadian. The world doesn't give a crap about us snow bunnies. I agree, they should have had the same fame, they rock hard with phenomenal vocals, guitars and lyrics

  • well i heard of this guys because of much retro and i thought this solo was the coolest thing ever and i looked them up and they should be more well known. just cuz they r canadian wtf that is unfair.

  • They actually were in existence back then... just missed the height of popularity of their genre... Their first album was released in 1991... but still one of the best bands to ever exist, and my absolute favourite.

  • 2:25 is Phrygian dominant , hitting Lydian dominant at 2:37 then heading back to straighth major.

  • That's right, he is playing guitar

  • Yeah i know fuckwit , now go lick mommas beef curtains

  • Great production and awesome tune(love this band, thx for posting) but the solo drives me nuts, its soooo un-original

    @2:25 sounds like Vai

    @2:37 sounds like Satch

    and @ 2:47 sounds like Nuno/Extreme

    Am i wrong?

    Sorry, just my opinion, i understand it was the era they were slaves to. All my respect to Pete as a musician & producer!

  • You know what really sucks? I had never even heard of this Killer band until a week ago. The lead guitarist plays Caparison guitars and SHREDS! Damn what a cool band.

  • They were a phenomenal band that couldn't make it in the U.S. , the music capitol. No U.S. success = failure

  • This is incredible guitar work! Awesome song too. Really melodic and unique solo. Thx for posting!!

  • una super banda de los 90" , glammmm haren scarem un clasic con el punch desde lima peru erick un buen tema yeahhhhhhh livin hard rock forever

  • A great song. Powerful. I don't know a lot about this band. Are they like Styper? A Christian rock band? I am not planning on converting, do like the song though.

  • They're an awesome Canadian band. Melodic hard rock at it's best.

  • I think the message in the song in the opposite, quote '...its like religion, wasting your life on a worthless cause...'

  • Can anyone tell me if they are touring in British Columbia Canada anytime soon? I really miss them!

    doll

  • They have actually officially broken up as a band as of June, I think... but if you collected enough money to hold a concert there, I'd fly over... ;)

  • great tunes ,great guys all the best harold and darren -- brad from the dixx/lyre.

  • I Love Mood Swings

    Please come to Japan!

  • Religion IS a worthless cause!!! They couldn't be more correct!

  • What a hard rockin tune mixed with incredibley nice vocal work from Harry Hess. Incredible guitar work from Pete Lesperance. These guys should have been as big as their Harry's Hair

  • They were, but just not in North America.

    They were huge in Japan. They couldn't even walk in the streets of Japan without being tackled.

    It's so funny to see Mike like this lol. He's like a second dad to me.

  • to all the people who think they are attacking christians with the line "like religion wasting our lives on a worthless cause" they're not, and its just a song, some of you christians take songs to literally

  • i never knew harem scarem did this song excellent tune!

  • Hmmm, well about the religion part... I hope it hits on unnecessary customs done in some religions... It's all up to your faith. :D and yeah, thank GOD for letting us enjoy great music in life!

  • About that religeon part in the song, let it go, like most music in the 80's early 90's, people didn't read to deep into the lyrics. Awsome band, great song,too bad radio stations don't tell impressionable youth this is cool music!

  • An Excellent group, talented musicians.

    Good songs and guitar licks,solos.

  • Cool band, tasteful. Under rated!!! Great guitar, and great singing, songs rock!!!

  • I like Harem Scarem but I HATE the slam to Christians in the lyrics on this song. " It's like religion,wasting your life on a worthless cause"

    There's alot of problems with organized religion but the hard core secular left and the ACLU are out to destory what the USA stands for.

  • Hmmm... I'm afraid that wasn't a slam to Christians, but a wake up call to people who use their religion to hurt others. You might want to revisit the REST of the lyrics, there, Tipper.

  • silversun7's got their facts correct :)

  • No where in the song does it say the word Christian. It said religion.

    They meant religion in general, whether you're buddhist, muslim, christian, whatever.

  • @mattmurd0ck: German people (I don't know why...) rather stick to their pop music heroes with their shit music. That's a shame...And nobody here knows this great band!! Pete Lesperance and Harry Hess are a dreamteam, just like Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. You can see, that there is deep friendship and honest music and that's what I love about these bands. Musically, Harem Scarem are even better I think. Especially if you think about how the sound of Bon Jovi has changed...

  • The guitar work is awesome - amazing solo . I remember these guys in the mid 80's when they were called ' Blind Vengeance', and played the Gasworks and Larry's Hideaway in the Toronto club scene. Pete's guitaring is stellar, perfectly articulated. Two thumbs up boys, a fan from way back.

  • Actually, it was Harry in Blind Vengeance...Pete wasn't a part of it.

  • great drummer and unbelievable guitar solo, one of the best songs of the 80's

  • unfortunately, this one wasn't made in the 80s^^ but great band! great music! I hope they will be in Germany the next tour

  • and thank God, the world outside of America can still appreciate real rock and roll! Melodic Fans Unite!
