[davidlovesmaggie]

toddy1968 likes men

[sicfuker25]

he helped pioneer Justin Bieber hahaha...but the music is awesome

[sicfuker25]

wtf? why the singer is using that microphone like Britney Spears

[arturo2180]

This comment is for toddy1968. You are a complete shit head who doesn't know great music when he hears it. This is real music in a time were it actually meant something not like todays shitty ass noise, I call it noise because it shouldn't be considered music so understand that this video is what thrash and other great types of metal emerged from. Ass hole.

[toddy1968]

What a load of shit. Metal sucked then and anyone who stills reminisces about it is an even bigger loser. Strictly Wayne's World. Love the headset mic though.

[burritoMetalero]

me cago en esta epoca como no pase mi adolessencia en los 80 ahi si se escuchaba buena musico y no las cagadas de ahora

[nholt]

back then they still sang unike today were they just grawl and grunt.

[finomahurka]

In What video is drumming the drummer with his hands and head?

Can sonebody help me?

[38decembers]

@finomahurka It's "On and On" man.

[GrEeNknIGhT45]

What kind of bass is john playing?

[Jackiechan39]

"Hard Ride" off the fist album is the best song by them.

[BlueRivaly]

It sounds like NWOBHM

[fieserfiesling]

@BlueRivaly you´re a genius

[kennybarnwell1]

aaahhhhh, the sweet smell of old-school!

[DumpsterGerberBaby]

this is what i want to play every single day of my 17 year old life.

damn bastards just don't appreciate what this music means to some

[Rakastaja1]

These guys are still as energetic on stage now as they were then. Last September I saw them play in Newport News, VA. It was an honor to meet these metal legends and get my 25 year old Raven record signed.

[devilchildskating]

@Rakastaja1

Hes my bass teacher

[KickAss667]

@devilchildskating

They Teach?

SAUCE!!!!

[driffter1976]

[toadman842]

Raven sucked. They were a mix of thrash and hair metal. They sucked ass.

[karter005]

@toadman842 you suck ass you fucking poser,

[VEXATIONBAND]

i learned they were bassically the first band to put out a "thrash" type album on that metal show.i had to chek em out

[Maxwerm]

80's metal kicks the shit out of all other metal, end of fucking story.

[fuzzleredmenn]

@Maxwerm I couldn't agree more.

[chiefmech23]

THANK GOD FOR RAVEN, save me from the garbage music out today! Long live hard rock and IT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[florgat91]

a cascade of cliches !

[abyess9]

THEIR CAREER"ENDED"BEFORE IT"STARTED!!! That's why metal bands around their time moved forward(can you raven dick riders say metallica?)and went platinum and became millionaires,while these "SHITFACES" stayed in the same shithole they was in when they first came out!!! LO2L

[Maxwerm]

@abyess9

Metallica sucks corporate cock.

[whiteravenmetal]

Raven Fuckin Rocks!!!!

[aliceinchains898]

:57 to 1:07 i love that part

[DanielMcCloud]

Why do people like this?

[LouGruff]

@DanielMcCloud In response to your question about why people like raven, it is because of their energy, showmanship, they just rock hard. What do you like, man? Raven had such an influence on current metal bands, so show some respect to the great ones!

[DanielMcCloud]

@LouGruff "...so show some respect to the great ones!" I think it is interesting that by asking a question, with no implied critique, you see it as a lack of respect. That is probably looking deeper than you would prefer, but telling in my opinion. It just isn't obvious, at least without some sort of bias, to get pulled into this, for me personally. I understand that my opinion might be mine and mine alone. Energy, showmanship, etc, maybe isn't enough for some people, that all...

[MisterMicha]

@DanielMcCloud why do people dislike this?

thats the real question

[DanielMcCloud]

@MisterMicha I have my theories, but there are so many mitigating factors. The era they played, what else existed, how we see things today, etc... I only have my opinion, and it I think that you either do, or don't like this band. I also think it says something about those that either, do or don't, so no matter the opinion, people will just basically disagree. I don't want to offend anyone, but I think only some music is great, my expectation level is high, and this seems arbitrary as art...

[ThrashattheHeart]

@DanielMcCloud I dunno, maybe because it's FUCKING AMAZING

[TheSonsofHorusx]

i wanna be there!

[homestarrunner4742]

john gallagher, the bassist, teaches at a place called studio rock. my friends and I take lessons there, he's pretty awesome!

[KickAss667]

@homestarrunner4742

(raven is one of my favorites)

[davemurrayrocks]

I went to see anvil live and on the song metal on metal the bassist made a guest appearance and hiss bass was so cool

[appletreejungle]

[oiyabastard]

@DavidSontz i hate when people say i used to love this band , y did u stop?

[DavidSontz]

@oiyabastard because way back when there wasnt an internet or even a youtube, if a band fell off the radar, you lost track of them.

[GrungeThrasher]

@thrashmetalowns666 I Love thrash...but Winger is kind of good too hahahahaha

[ganspare]

weight gain? maybe if you had had your legs crushed..calf muscle detached..metal bar through the thing ..feet dislocated...and then been on steroid medication.. YEARS of intense physio therapy ..and against all odds was able to walk..jump & even SKI I'd listen to that complaint..this guy has more guts than you will ever comprehend...so give him a break...as for the others...wow - are they that friggin heavy???? only the MUSIC pal!!!

[Paulie88]

RAVEN KILLS!

John Gallagher is GOD!

[quiqueshow10]

carajo yo era super fanatico de estos tipos !!! gracias por subir esta biblia !!!!

[mariuszxxx]

nice

[nigletgook]

someone needs to upload the new album i can't find it anywhere. i know it came out in japan, why not the u.s??

[nigletgook]

how did they gain so much weight over the years? Guess that's what drinking does to ya.

[Shawnster65]

At least they aren't dead (or burned out like some of the 80's guys.) The 80's was the decade of decadence and some guys walked away relatively intact, and some went south.

And if a bit o' weight gain is what we're basing them on, then it's not that bad when compared to overdosing on heroin, cocaine, or dying from AIDS...

[nigletgook]

True but I give credit to john, mark well and joe too for continueing to be heavy and not selling out again at least they learned from their mistake unlike a lot of other bands and yah they just drank i don't think they did the heavy drugs..

cheers...

[DRATCHFAN]

I remember this video at a friend's house. Even in early 1988 it seemed kind of dated...

[GrungeThrasher]

@DRATCHFAN It is on "Combat: Revenge 2" With Death, Dark Angel, Forbbiden and Faith or fear...i have it on VHS :)

[Emil315]

God I love the sound of that guitar. I will never forget this band!

[handsofhell666]

very strange way to start a song.BAss tapping.BUT SO FUCKING HEAVENLY GOOD!

[Sageman666]

killer opening riffs!

[corbeano]

This is off a compilation with other metal bands.. anyone know the title of this compilation?

[SurrenderOrDie65]

it was off the second combat tour with forbidden death and faith or fear!

[EternityInValhalla]

Awesome song!

Long live NWOBHM!

[Hooklineansinker]

rambo on vocals, owen hart on guitar, and ozzy on drums! best line up ever! haha

[EddieVH666]

[TokaCola]

[EvilDead136669]

pure fuckin' Speed!!!

[fraginat0r]

one of the most influential speed/thrash metal bands ever

[whiteyana14]

@fraginat0r  greatest band ever

[fraginat0r]

@whiteyana14 i wouldnt go that far, however verry influental in the heavy metal/thrash scene

[MorkaGraven]

@fraginat0r Correction: NWOBHM*

[fraginat0r]

@MorkaGraven sounds like heavy metal/thrash to me lol, i dont know what you mean, nwobhm?

[Sjamsucks]

@fraginat0r Raven were a band of the nwobhm. Their sound helped pioneer thrash and speed metal, but they are not thrash.

[XysmicExecration]

KEEP THE OLD-SCHOOL KULT ALIVE AND KILLING \m/
