Girlschool - Race With The Devil

[Rocknrolla1775]

you're right, you below!



[tetsuyanamamura]

There shoud also be a biographical movie about Girlschool just like there is with The Runaways!

[tetsuyanamamura]

I wonder if The Runaways is how Girlschool got started

[MetallMozzo]

not sure who made this 1st..girl school? or Judas Priest...although i like this i do prefer Judas Priest`s version.

[TheUnforgiven1496]

@MetallMozzo None of the two bands you mention have written this song. The original is from GUN.(1968 i believe) (:

[Outmind01]

@MetallMozzo - actually, a late 60s band called "Thr gun" made the original. Can you believe it? This is incredibly heavy for a late 60s song.

[HoccyB]

Funny how the riff is exactly like a part of the solo in Status Quo's Forty-Five Hundred Times. Just listen at the Live 1977 album and you'll see what I mean :P

[highnz1]

FUCKING GEMA!!!!!!!!!! !!!(THE GUN)!!!

[coolio8082]

RIP Kelly johnson

[smartchickable]

Awesome solo!

[MrSphibe]

Kelly Johnson kicks ass on this!

Female afterlife all star band lineup:

Mia Zapata-Vocals

Kelly Johnson-Guitar

Sandy West-Drums

[BinkzJo]

i love this song SO. FUCKING. MUCH.

[kurd55]

GREAT!

[shinta798]

does anyone else give genders to their instruments instead of names?? that guitar is beautiful and kind of feminine i think someone mentioned the gold top also these girls are cuutee :3

[flobtob]

@shinta798 The ballsy tone coming from it means it has to be boy :P But it's being rocked the fuck out by an amazing woman!

[TheRisingforce2000]

these girls fuckin rock

[TheRisingforce2000]

love that gold top les paul

[thekapo95]

Excelente,Hace tiempo que no oigo un buen rock n roll como este

estas nenas Si que son MUSICA!

[imashellamit]

Ahh... those times when women musicians got famous for their music, not whoredom...

[SimonHenrichsen]

I fucking love this song. It hardly even matters if it's The Gun, Girlschool or Judas Priest who plays it, as long as someone is playing it :)

[fallspeed]

Sandy West was waiting for Kelly on the other side, and they are rockin' together with Janis and Jimi and all the rest...

[fullmatiz]

WACKEN!!!!

[coolio8082]

hey its aria and u guys were amazing

[tetsuyanamamura]

I love you Kelly!

[Kerbalf]

I mean, this is the first time I hear them and it just SOUNDS like an instant classic. Very nice song.

[44xtreme]

I love their music, but I have never listen to them before..

[GrievousAngel66]

@44xtreme Lead guitarist.

[ltwp328]

[DrRamone2000]

This version is so much better the Judas Priest and even Gun's.. at least I think so

[CeeEmmz]

[AkselSv]

[HanonGuurl527]

@CeeEmmz Hey I'm working on it! I'm 16 and it's my dream to make a all girl metal band, and girlschool and the runaways are my inspirations

[CeeEmmz]

@HanonGuurl527 do it up! :) hope you become famous dont forget me though when your up there with the stars hehehe :)

[profligatesoull]

Great video. Must've been recorded the same time as their Yeah Right video. Same setup, gear and clothing. Girlschool still rocks!

[batka71]

[kissmekleve]

[diogo21112]

GIRLSCHOOL MELHOR BANDA ROCK  .....ATLÉTICO PARANAENSE ........DIOGO

[gyggedy]

damn good!

[wembley05]

The world misses you Kelly!

[gilllew]

REMEMBER SEE THE "GUN" ON TOP OF THE POPS IN EARLY 1969 ALTHOUGH "RACE WITH THE DEVIL" IWAS A TOP 10 HIT FOR THEM WAS JUST A ONE HIT WONDER" HOWEVER, I THOUGHT "GIRLS SCHOOLS" VERSION WAS JUST AS GOOD

[mrdude9074]

These Chicks Rock!!!

[xXJFateXx]

this band inspired me to play guitar. r.i.p. kelly

[FunkKlock]

mahn i love enid on vocals this era of girlschool is totally uncomparable to....anything else

[nostalgia43]

The vocals are weak.

[thebfg77]

I like girlschool, but to be honest i prefer the original of this song.

[pestrodus]

motorhead girl version ;] very very good !!!!!!!!

[FunkKlock]

kelly johnson tears open assholes like nothing

[123allagi]

all lesbians.guaranted

[drummerbuzz]

Saw them live with Iron Maiden and Scorpions waaay back. They rocked hard, and held their own quite well.

[efialtis2]

0:08 Justin bieber just exploded...!!! Earth is freee..!!!

[wembley05]

RIP KellY! You will always be loved! Regards and respect to you and your family!

[X1mtheDespot]

Hm....

In the 80's they could have easily passed as males! 

[Marcoshary]

Great! This is pure Rock n Roll!

[Fenorn]

No shit Judas Priest covered this song!

[xxmarklxx]

Not bad for a Girl Band. Thumbs Up

[washysama]

@xxmarklxx not bad?? they kick ass dude!! not bad is not good enough coment man!!

[herbertkearse]

Tell anyone who saysgirls can't play rock guitar to watch this video, they'll change their minds. Unless they're complete assholes

[04silver05]

Too bad Kelly Johnson is dead, she could have risen to the top at the same level like Phil Campbell, KK Downing, Dave Murray and others.

[evanderfan]

@04silver05 What happened to her.?

[04silver05]

@evanderfan She died of spinal cancer in '07, after a six-year battle.

[RattMan4764]

If it wasn't for Girlschool and The Runaways, We wouldn't have the female bands we do today. I met the drummer Denise Dufor way back in 1983. They Kick ass big time!!!!! X-D

[jammedvalve]

@RattMan4764 I agree - must be some serious rockin in the afterlife with Kelly and Sandy West.

[Eldryzif]

Covers are so good as the original version.

[killingjokefan1]

fuck the original by GUN, these girls kick ass

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@killingjokefan1 Girlschool kicks ass, but saying "fuck the original" is just stupid as fuck.

[killingjokefan1]

@ThazuaBlackarrow it's just my opinion. don't get so uperty.

[nerfero]

 Kelly Johnson (6/20/58 - 7/15/07) på gitarr.

[pervertedmind]

I'd suck their dicks if they had any. d(:

[jstnxprsn1]

Back when Rodney Bingamstalker was stinking up the KROQ airwaves with The Runaways lame attempts, along came an young girls band from England, who could really play. This song was their only hit, though not the only good song on the album. This is how girls really rock

I just learned of Kelly Johnson's passing. R.I.P. Kelly.

Tell Jimi "hello" for me, eh?

[TheTilly65]

@jstnxprsn1 They also had " St. Valentines massacre with Motorhead. :)

[carapils1]

♠ Pretty decent cover! Personally prefer the original by GUN, but Girlschool sure kicked ass! ♠

[jshorva65]

OMG does this bring back memories! After seeing this video on MTV, I made "Must have a guitar and know how to play at least one cool Rock song." one of my top ten "Must Have" attributes for girls who expected to date me. I formed a band with a girl named Kandi who I'd been flirting with for a while. Her brother and two other friends of ours completed the line-up and we played some private parties. The band split when Kandi's brother died in a boating accident in the summer of '81.

[jshorva65]

@jshorva65 Later "Any instrument that rocks!" qualified. Dated a keyboardist/vocalist for 8 years who eventually took up guitar. Would have married her if she hadn't failed my "No psychos allowed!" rule (discovered heavy drinking and cheating). Eventually, I married a guitarist. She died in 2003. My current gf also plays guitar.

[filippoalterego]

fantastico quwsto viedeoa.......yeah!!!!! ma cheeeee....ma che è oohhhh!!! ma che e che eh?  ohhhhh!

[philday1]

i saw these at redcar 30 years ago and spent the whole gig with my hand on kellys knee.....

I never washed it since...

[captaincomputa]

Boy these chicks could rock

[stubbostubbs]

British of course !!

[BelenDestruction]

R.I.P. Kelly Johnson :(

[EddieVH666]

the meaning of the ACDC song shes got balls really comes into play with all the babes from girlschool. They fuckin rock!

[lemmy91]

Motorhead's girsl band !!!!

[bannabubbles]

these girls definately rock(:

[000500006]

Girlschool and the Runaways r the only all girl bands that i love.

[supermill3]

excellent. They don't make 'em like that anymore - more to the point, they can't !!!!

[NightShade1218]

If Lemmy is God, then Girlschool are the Angels.

[marchvein1]

I listend to this song alot when I was about 11 years old, it was on a 4LP Hardrockcomp in the late 80s, nice

[JAYROX1969]

Girls just don't don't rock like this anymore!!!!!!

[leaderofthepack]

this song is by the band The Gun

[Hector123000]

why cant girls be more like them? the world would be a better place man

[a8w367]

@Hector123000 Right? we need more of this.

[DrLux]

Thats what I call crude rock ! And thats what I call women !

[bugeyes455858]

What a great tune this is...proves that the women of rock 'n roll can kick ass with the best guys out there... so take that, Gene(only men can rock 'n roll ) Simmons! this is an awesome, highly underated band...ask Lemmy...he knows this.

[angel2hell]

@bugeyes455858 Gene Simmons is an arrogant morron..:-j

[SuperDeanhall]

This song got me into Girlschool , awesome ! /m\

[SuesDaytona]

Damn! The lead guitarist died. She was excellent.

[mordillo29]

AWSOME! girls are gonna rock!

[TitoAGoGO]

They gave Motorhead a run for their money!

[psychkoala]

These girls are rockin' !

They're all pretty good; but the lead guitar is outstanding.

Never would have given them the time of day; but after seeing this video & a few others, I'm sold.

[SuesDaytona]

@psychkoala

I agree! Damn the guitar playing is great!!!! I don't know how I missed them?

[denpunk666mitsos]

Who first heard this on "Axe Attack?" 1981 along with some other metal classics.

[19stjohn67]

[MrTonyozzie]

[IMaiden89]

did they make this or did priest? i always though it was a priest song

[theincredibleiannune]

None of the them did. It was the band GUN from the 60's I did not know this too.But check out the related videos and click (GUN) Race with the Devil

[TechnicalEvaluation]

Oops, didn't see your response before I typed mine...

[IMaiden89]

thanks anyway dude

[TechnicalEvaluation]

Neither. It was originally done by a band called "Gun". There are clips of them doing it on You Tube. Trust me, the Girlschool and Priest versions are better than the original.

[gregclutt]

the song was originally song in the late 60's by a band called Gun , awesome band in there day , on the album was a song called yellow cab man and " take off "

[AcrossDAuniverse4U2]

apparently not.

[Rainmaker2212]

Awesome girls !

[blindiris22]

[BreakerSizzle]

If you like them, give a listen to The Runaways and Suzi Quatro.

[AngelofAnguish]

@blindiris22 Are you familiar with the Runaways and Vixen?

[caioenzo]

@blindiris22 do you know Warlock?

[dicksatan]

@blindiris22

Ugh!  Feart.

[Salguine]

@blindiris22eart was only 40% female.

[marks8889]

@blindiris22 better than ok dude long before heart

[DeathMetalAngelus666]

i love these women =)

[fortheloveoftunes]

A bit "Thin Lizzy" a bit "Suzi Qatro" .-)

[KarKingJack]

Piss off! How'd you manage that?!

[Kantyman]

R.I.P. Kelly

Luved U in Winnipeg, Mb.

[washysama]

woa we don't have girl bands like this in México... wait we don't have bands at all!! hahaha lol

[carrurru]

@washysama pues si tenemos bandas cabron...

tal vez no de mujeres, pero de que hay bandas y chingonas las hay. Trucha compa

[washysama]

@carrurru cuales?

[carrurru]

@washysama strikemaster, piraña, inquisidor, struendo, apocalipsis, the ill over death, anton...

no se bato... hay muchas bandas mexicanas que suenan muy muy cabron!! pero aquí suelen ser demasiado malinchistas y en lugar de ponerse a escuchar a las bandas que salen de aqui nomás dicen "ahh todos tocan re culero, mejor me voy a poner a oir bandas internacionales"

[carrurru]

Neta si no conoces a algunos de los que mencioné buscalos... sobre todo esos de strikemaster, yo creo que ya los tienes que conocer, pero si no pues conocelos, son muy buenos, tal vez mi banda mexicana favorita.

[washysama]

@carrurru y es que no hacen nada nuevo no aportan nada nuevo, son bandas soundalike, le tiran a la onda de slayer y antrax, pero no hay banda en mexico que haya hecho su própio genero como Girlschool, Susy Quatro y The Runnaways, o inventado el punk como the ramones o que hayan sido parte de algo como un NWOBHM, no ha habido nada así en Mexico, solo nuestra version de lo extrangero... es a lo que me refiero!! los que lo han intentado, terminan tocando folcklore o prehispanico como jorge reyes

[onhonho01]

@washysama Isn't Brujeria a Mexican band?

[washysama]

@onhonho01 yea, I was talking about really good bands like girlschool!!

[Cezyca]

@washysama

Nice one amigo ^_^

[bloodpollution21]

@washysama Are you kidding me? There are a lot of good mexican bands. Check out Transmetal.

[GunwallsJoBailey]

@washysama well you obviously dont know anything about mexican metal, just check out bands like Mortuary or Raped God, they would blow a lot of american and european bands

[Scthyer32]

@GunwallsJoBailey Canada has kick ass metal

[GunwallsJoBailey]

@Scthyer32 yes, i know, but i get really pissed when people do not apreciate mexican metal

i know we have a lot of shitty bands, but ther are also a lot of mindblowing kicking fucking ass bands

[washysama]

@GunwallsJoBailey take your anger elsewere, were not even talking about the same thing here... I been listening to mexican metal since 1984, so don't tell me what I know or don't know. I never stoped apreciating anything, I know what I know and I've heard enough to say we don't have bands like "this one in particular" in mexico!! capici!?? not my fault that you only read what you want to, instead of what I actually wrote. Im not sorry if I offended you with my comment, you did on your own!!

[washysama]

@GunwallsJoBailey yes I know those bands, and I love Luzbel, and I know plenty more mexican metal bands like Noctambulism and toxodeath and hard rock and rock bands and so on, but none has achieved real breackthrough at anything like bands in other places including Argentina and Brasil, most don't even have a decently recorded album... there are lots of great musicians in mexico, but we lack good management and producers, so the bands can get anywhere at all with their music.

[GunwallsJoBailey]

@washysama I agree with you, there's a lack of quality in the recordings and in management, producers and promoters, but that's the way the mexican is (or should I say "are", nevermind)

[tschaesu88]

@washysama but you have tito and tarantula. they're pretty cool!

[washysama]

@tschaesu88 Tito & Tarantula are a chicano rock band formed in Hollywood California, so no we don't have them :p

[dicksatan]

@washysama

Yes you do:

[washysama]

@dicksatan no we dont...

[ThePoison27]

saw them live last night supporting Motorhead :D:D Was amazing when they played this song :D

[Didymuss1]

It was fantastic :D

They were *far* better than the Damned imo

[ThePoison27]

lol ohh yeah. The girls topped those Punks XD

[8for8]

@ThePoison27 The song was original made famous by The Gun. Do you have any pictures of this event Poison ?

[ThePoison27]

nah the view from the camera was pretty crap, so i thought it was best to just watch

[ThePoison27]

and also yeah i already knew it was orginally performed by The Gun

[mmilez]

i love this fucking rocker girls! I just discovered the band today.. what have I been doing all my life?
