  • theses guys should have been alot bigger then thay was back in the 80s. thay rock! this is the real deal right here boys and girls. 80s rock was the best rock ever made hands down.

  • The 80s hair was fantastic.

  • classic metal best ever

  • Man...there were several bands like A.D. that "had it" but too late. Anyone heard of Wildside....Cats n Boots...etc?!? Never get tired of the 80's Metal!! Graduated in '87...that's my excuse. Love the new rock too!! Rock on ya'll!!

  • @KTBARNETT yep dang good bands and they deserve more acknowledgement. I put up Jetboy Don't Mess with My Hair on my channel and Coast to Coast by Cats In Boots. I'm 15 and I'm proud to say I'm a hard rocker (:

  • I went through tapes in my car like crazy. This is stuff that you roll the windows down take of the t tops and turn it up. Oh to go back in time.

  • Cheesy vid..Good song....

  • Tight yall!!! The lead singer looks like White Lion.

  • Hair bands rule :)

  • 'Bout every 5 years I'll break out the CD and play the crap out of it till I'm sick of it, put it, and break it back out in another 5 years. Whole album rocks! Love Sam Kinnenson on the CD.

  • Obozavam!!!!!

  • Great song! I remember when they were called the Persuaders, then Babylon, and finaly Babylon A.D.. The guitar player, Ron Fresky was my friends guitar teacher and was super cool. The singer is a great singer but was WAY stuck up!

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG.. Hell, I love the whole CD - which is hard to find by the way.. I had to DL & burn it.

  • Absolutly the best ! B.A.D. just released an updated a new Bang Go The bells 2010

    recording I found it on itunes and it sounds amazing! I wish they would release the rest of their songs.

  • my favorite of the underrated bands of that era.

  • What do mean cheese? This is pure Rock 'n Roll. KNAC style.

  • you wanna know why 80s bands got all the women in my opinion its cuz they had sexy danceable music.

  • Under rated band of the 80's!!! What an awesome sound!

  • Absolutely AWESOME!!! I love it!

    \m/~~~

  • 80s rock will always live on..fuck grundge for ruining it all

  • @dke355

    I love 80's music. Grunge didn't kill anything. All eras fade away at some point.

  • @matt2eadgbe Thank god grunge did!

  • @atreyu5526 I like all era's of rock, including grunge. i know most 80's fans don't, and usually have a strong hatred towards grunge. Which I never understood. I feel that all era's of rock have something to offer. Though 80's is obviously the best ;-)

  • @SlashIsRockNRoll2010 duuuude, that would be the BEST time machine..DeLorean ftw! :)

  • Killer guitar intro! Bad Ass song!! To bad you can't buy their music anywhere,except maybe itunes.

  • wish they would come back show em how it was done right

  • One of the most underrated bands of the 80's. The videos sucked, but the music still kicks ass.

  • that may be the best riff i've ever heard

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • Check out PASSION LANE here on Youtube!

  • what station is this ive never heard of it and it definitely is not MTV

  • Cool Tune... shitty video!

  • pure fuckin metal!!!

  • Love this song......makes me wanna dirty dance:-)

  • I really don't get how the gameshow works... But awesome song.

  • I can't believe I have only found out about these guys recently they are insane!

  • I can never find many Bablylon A.D. songs other than the hammer swings down and bang goes the bells

  • this doesn't sound like any other hair band i know

  • (continued) Of course, just because grunge came along at a time when hair metal was growing stale, that doesn't mean grunge is better or cooler than hair metal...by the mid 90's, the grunge movement had reached its own sell-by date, and then it was nu-metal's turn to provide the vital injection of new blood.

    All were important phases in the evolution of rock 'n' roll music, and all should be enjoyed in their respective musical contexts. Start with this tune if you like...it's pretty kickass!

  • @garethac81 and yet none of this deterred PanterA from becoming one of the biggest bands in the world in the 90's!!!! They had the talent to adapt.....tastefully.

  • @metalwizard13

    Pantera were a great band in their prime, but they lived out their hair metal phase in near-total obscurity, which made it much easier to start over with "Cowboys From Hell". Bon Jovi deserve the most credit for surviving the death of hair metal, because they were one of the biggest bands of that scene, and yet when Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Whitesnake and the rest all tumbled down the charts in the 90's, Bon Jovi kept the hits coming.

  • @garethac81 and they NEVER forsake the guitar SOLO.......a fatal error of both grunge and nu-"metal". Alice n' Chainz started out as a sleaze band too!

  • @metalwizard13

    Performing a song without an extravagant guitar solo is not a "fatal error"...and it's rather petty to overlook grunge and nu-metal for that reason alone. Don't get me wrong - I love a good solo - but there's more to making a great song than putting a high-pitched "widdly-widdly-screeeee" in the middle!

  • @garethac81 I respect your opinion but I think grunge should have been overlooked in favour of the florida metal scene which spawned way more interesting bands.

  • @metalwizard13

    If you're referring to Florida's death metal bands, I must disagree. There is far less creativity and originality in death metal than grunge - death metal has always been overpopulated with bands that sound too alike, all trying to "outevil" each other and unintentionally becoming massive self-parodies of themselves in the process. And the "growling" vocal style is just plain silly.

  • @garethac81 yeah you're right scenes are garbage......but still the florida scene did spawn a few bands such as Morbid Angel, Death, Cynic and Atheist.........who were on the cutting edge of music let alone metal..........moreso I would say than the "screaming trees" or mudhoneypuddlegreenriverstoney­creek etc. ..... Mother Love Bone were a good band though ! ...obviously just my humble opinions.......

  • Grunge was more interesting because it gave artists a broader palette to work with, absorbing influences from punk, metal, classic rock and indie. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden all had their own distinct sounds because they were inspired by different influences on the grunge style. Lyrically, it was also very fresh, because grunge allowed bands to explore much darker and more personal issues after years of being stuck in "ooh baby, lick my love gun" hair metal territory.

  • @garethac81

    I think both the 80's and Hair Metal was about excess, more money, more sex, more booze, more drugs, more money. And while there was obvious some of those things in grunge, it was more about dulling the pain than enjoying the pleasure. And I think by 91 when Nirvana started to hit it big with their 2nd album, society and the younger generation was ready for what grunge had to offer, i think that a big reason why a lot of kids dumped hair metal and went to grunge.

  • @pdlost991 They went to grunge because they were a bunch of whining wimps who spent all day complaining about how unfair life is. No bath + no balls = grunge.

  • Some people say that 90's grunge sprung up because 80's hair metal was devoid of talent. That isn't true - there were a lot of talented hair metal bands. Unfortunately, too many of them looked and sounded EXACTLY the same - Babylon A.D. could easily be mistaken for at least a dozen different acts from the same era. There just wasn't enough originality to keep the scene alive, and grunge was the necessary antidote, bringing a fresh sound and new ideas to put rock back on the cutting edge.

  • if you havent heard[ grand prix ] shout.  check it out bang on [ babylon A D rocks]

  • What the hell is all this opencomment crap?

  • It's probably just somone who is trying to show how smart he is by reciting info about string theory from a book he read, or maybe he just heard a recorded a national geographic documentary and wanted to get his 15 minutes of fame... the artist of the song is very good, good song as well, which is the reason I visited her.
