Keel-The right to rock

[ClassicalSerrana]

He sounds like Kevin Dubrow from Quiet Riot...

[felipelimajardim]

3:03 MY EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AMarkovicNS14]

No top comment for this great song? :)

[lobo41xxx]

80s rock was the best

[rickyclay32]

I Remember when this use to play on the Radio.

[demoniser]

The young guy at the start looks a bit like blackie from wasp!

[Aliasfan1983]

Reminds me of I wana rock by Twisted sister

[otagomike]

shit, you just took me back about 25 years or so to high school writing Keel, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister all over everything along with all those other bands. Mean set of pipes on that fellah. 80's metal (and it was metal then) fucking rules.

[derdude]

fucking awesome! thanks for the upload!

[TakeDeadAim]

I'm Ronnie Keel...and I'm here to sing for YOU!!!!Lol!!

[ILoveCurves88]

@ gerndo He switched back N Keel's back together. Guess he agreed...

[TheAlejandropc39]

Nothing like the 80s rock.

[iendorsenet]

the 80s were a lot of fun

[JonniDDR]

Wow these guys suck haha

[cristianDead100]

severa voz



[miker6470]

We nned this song for the crap thats on now

[Rockpodoboo]

Thumbs up to Ron Keel's voice

[sssjenkins]

Yea we had reagan a great fucking president and some great fucking music unlike your fucking liberal lady gagagoogoo or some fucking shit these guys had more talent in their damn little toe than all these motherfucking no talent bastards combined. wht the fuck does conservatisam have to do with it you fucking communist libturd.

[DRpretorius39]

Thats the ferrel kid from THE ROAD WARRIOR! lol

[oldschoolbx1970]

I'm glad that this became the kind of music that rebelled against the conservatism that went on during the Reagan era.

[CrappyApple001]

haha ... those 80's anthem tunes... "the whole world is out to get us" ... Glad I grew up in the 80's. 

[thepieruler]

Ugh, I can't stand the guys voice. But the music itself is great.

[robertz496]

this band kick ass and guys ae crazy the 80s are the best decade ever so suck on my goddamn nuts.

[rootbeerlord]

Wrestlecrap radio!!!



[metal001000]

????

[bruth8787]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[CapitalPunishment657]

IF YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WAITING IN THE SHADOWS TO BRING BACK HEAVY AND THRASH METAL CHECK MY PROFILE IM STARTING A BAND AND HAVE A SONG DONE ON GUITAR. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF IT. KEEP YOU HEAD RATTLING

[pcm61774]

I can't believe Gene $immons thought they were the next big thing. he prolly made more money as "executive producer" than the entire band did. Then again, Big Gene has made many stupid moves since then that have netted him big money somehow...

[CapitalPunishment657]

@pcm61774 u cant lie though keel fucking kicks ass they should of been big .

[Casar1973]

horrible & unwatchable. 

[chefshitpiece]

This song is shit....but I still love it. No really, it's fucking stupid. But it kicks as in some retarded way that I'm still trying to figure out. Go figure. I wouldn't say it's GAY...I would say that it is stupid and cheesy. Not quite gay, though.

[crusadercoach]

The Birth of the music video...this shit is priceless

[lester5192]

now ron kill has gone country.

so much for his right to rock.

[tigerced73]

Bad ass 80's rock n roll. I originally bought, "The Right to Rock," because i liked the title and the artwork on the cover. I was like, "oh yeah!!" I played the tape and fell in love with the tape. Every song on the tape kicked ass. Unfortunately, i thought this was Keel's best album. I also liked the works of Ron Keel and Yngwie Malmsteen on, Steeler. That was some bad ass shit, too.

[mojomike1967]

I saw KEEL in '85 on this tour. They opened for RAVEN in San Diego, CA.

It was rockin, I was as old as the kid in the video. STEELER album with Yngwie Malmsteen was always a favorite. Great Song Anyway was underrated at the time & before all the gay hair metal of the late 80's.

[MrYngwie88]

@mojomike1967 holy shit i wish i was there im 19 couldn not experined the fuckin 80s man

[RockenDokkenlover91]

I wish that kid was my wingman hah

[TheThomasf99]

lol rock as been alichoal that will end off world for me lolz

[TheThomasf99]

love this song!!

[DHRC18]

If I were the lead singer of a metal band I would definitely do the move at 1:40 to 1:43

[lester5192]

the singer now plays in a country cover band in vegas.

[simiandeathmarch]

I lived the 80's but this song sucked then and time has done it no favors. Keel was 3rd rate crap even for a genre that was mostly crap to begin with. I get a kick out of listening to 80s metal now and then as some of it was pretty damn good and holds up well, some of it just makes me laugh but this is just bad.

[Airoyster]

Gene Simmons produced this album

[SpitfireJDS]

The funny part is that the part with the kid on the street, that scene was shot down the street from my house LOL

[zougras]

12 people are fans of a female kid named justin bieber

[Lookin2Cool]

This brings back memories from the spring of 1985. Getting home after school & cranking up the channel 57 Power Hour on Toronto Rocks. It didn't get much better than those days.

[chwoora]

this song just make you wanna stand up jump scream and through stuff

[walkkerzeth2]

metal is law

[chwoora]

@walkkerzeth2 heck ya!!!!!! rock on!!!!!!!

[lacepantyhose]

this is so me when i was but a little head banger such a trouble maker (still am!) 40 yrs and still a rocker!

[atomicplayboy4u]

Only off by ten years lol

[MyJoe1968]

keel rock's

[acesobrian]

I think this was produced by Gene Simmons.

[86dewj]

got to see keel at rocklahoma last yr. great show. got to meet the band after show. ron keel seemed like a real down to earth guy.

[joe10774]

great song great vid

[voyce0reezon]

suck fest

[PogMoThoin2008]

Complete shit! This was the kind of garbage that gave good metal a bad name by association. Predictable, boring and one of the worst vocals I've ever heard!

[MachineKing1313]

@PogMoThoin2008 This was the metal that got people into metal, most were listening to Asia at the time, face the facts, metal has never and will never be as popular as it once was back in the 1980s. Metal then was fun and it was music to party too, now its too serious and will never make it past the garages of the bands members themselves.

[swaneeoffback]

@PogMoThoin2008

Ahahahaha ... 2008 is your birth year??

What you want know about the '80?

Without groups like this, now hear only the idiots of Hip Hop, and the various Lady Gaga

[YngtchieMusic]

@swaneeoffback You mentioned Lady Gaga who is coincidentally multiple times the musician that Ron Keel is, and ever was. There was lots of great hard rock in the '80s, but there were also plenty of lesser bands like Keel that diminished the overall quality of '80s metal.

[AshcrashXP]

God Damn Does This Suck Giant Dick

[metalslut1]

@AshcrashXP You lick giant balls! This is fun, vintage 80's metal!

[AbbyLaila85]

Oh NO they DIDN'T!

[drnrg31]

what's ironic is that in 1989 Glam was at it's peak.Top 10 songs from everyside of rock. Aerosmith, Ozzy, Warrant,Skid Row, Kiss. It was anything ,but underground!

[DirtyLittlePsycho]

sleaze metal.

[steverouse56]

I wanna an 80s metal band playing at my wedding. Fuck that gay ass Michael Bubele

[Maidenfury666]

This video is dedicated to my man Billy D.

[StansDerbyHat]

I heard this one on a party in the 80´s, I was drunk and thought "Hey, thats good, maybe I get the Record!". Later I got the Album, listened to it and discovered it´s funking bad when you´re sober. Never touched it since.

[ThunderMetalHead]

rock n roll

[blklab32]

good drinking and driving son in the free 80's

[Browningauto5magnum]

that kid looks like a younger version of blackie lawless..lol

[1313motley1313]

@Browningauto5magnum YEAH

[mngkrakoff]

@Browningauto5magnum ' ONLY WISH I LOOKED MORE LIKE BLACKIE LAWLESS - HE WAS GOOD LOOKIN - OK I JUST WANTED THE GIRLS HE GOT...IN THAT DAY AND TIME...BY THE WAY, I'M THE 'KID' IN THAT THERE KEEL VIDEO 'THE RIGHT TO ROCK', AND I THINKS IT'S A F@#KIN BAD AZZ VIDEO - WHETHER IT WAS ME OR NOT GROUNDBREAKING TERRITORY WITH THE VIDEO BEING FUTURISTIC AND ROCK IS BANNED - BEFORE IT'S TIME STILL - BECAUSE EVENTUALLY IT MIGHT BE ILLEGAL IN PUBLIC TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING NOT ON THE 'APPROVED ARTIST' LIST!!!

[Browningauto5magnum]

[INFXconcept]

[GlamMikky]

Thanks for the memories!

[Gibsonwilshire]

[sakke72]

I saw Keel in 1986 as a support of Dio. Damn great band.

[Shawnster65]

I remember seeing this video on U-68, an early cable station out of Newark, NJ

The show was called The Heavy Metal Power Hour, and aside from Keel, they showed a whole other slew of videos, among them Dio's "Rainbow In The Dark" and Black And Blue's "Hold On To 18."

[rogerely]

Fucking eh! I still have this album somewhere.

[WakeUpDreamers77]

I thought he went country and was now Ronnie Lee Keel?? hahaha

[usuckdong]

[fortheloveoftunes]

[kyleigh3301999]

[Gibsonwilshire]

@kyleigh3301999 the cd is out now

[larrytalk]

My first concert in October of 1985 in Fayetteville, NC. they played with Accept & Helix.

[listerovsmeg]

Gene Simmons produced this album and their next one too.

[gerndo]

[HHH6024]

@gerndo Saw him a few months ago at the Pioneer outside of Vegas, wasn't too bad but a far cry from the good stuff

[crungen5]

@gerndo i saw an interview with him and the asshole said "all i need is this here old pick up truck and this here guitar and im good" he probably fucks the goats and cows on his prarie or ranch or whatever the fuck it is!!! lol

[porkolicious]

@crungen5

Yeah... probably not.

[DRpretorius39]

@gerndo ---That was too funny!

[lakeladymel]

This man rocks !!!

[ironhead77hd]

anyone remember video's on u68

[ironhead77hd]

cool i totally forgot i have ta get this alot of cool shit i miss the 80's

[madometal]

Very essential ,very important part of hard/metal history.KEEL with their brand of hard edged ,street level metal,definately in their OWN rightful way took the WORLD by grabbing it by the 'BALLS"!!!If you don't know KEEL grab the first album 'THE RIGHT TO ROCK"then you'll know what I'm talkin' about.Cause every one has the freedom & the right to ROCKKKK!!!

[masterarmorer]

holy shit!! theres another band i totally forgot, Keel , Ron Keel

[madometal]

brilliant 80's hard metal ,wat dreams are made of,twin geetarz and big vox.Fukin' unreal

[BajaBully]

[darthlurch]

[Pbirv]

[kdaddy73]

[mccaslin7575]

I saw Keel open for Accept and Queensryche at Irvine Meadows.

[donovono69]

I saw that same show...had to 1985..15 yrs old..YEA!!! I used to sneak into Irvine Meadows. i think it was the ting to do back then

[RangeofMotion]

What the hell? Why is Mayberry PD arresting that kid at the start of the video?

[carlos6villa]

ufff ke poder!!!!!!

[yamila68]

I remember seeing this video for the first time on the original "Headbangers Ball". Awesome song!

[niteman24]

Oh yeah. Headbanger's Ball used to be fuckin' awesome.

[MotleyMedia]

Is that a pantera shirt?

[TBHfilms]

This was the Lick back in Highschool, if you werent there then you just dont know Where is Adam "Axe" Schwartz at today ?

[80sboy4ever]

This song is a anthem to all us headbangers from the 80s!!!!!!!! And one more thing.....come hell or high water i will never cut my hair!!!!!

[firemage1986]

@80sboy4ever yeah, i support you. don't ever cut it =) =)

[jmodico]

@80sboy4ever I use to say the same think about my hair but it started turning really gray and I'm single so I cut it to meet more chicks but I'm allways will be a true headbanger. So to my fellow rockers please don't hold that aganist me.

[BloodEagle729]

@80sboy4ever I seriously wish I could be as awesome as you...legitimately...you are now my idol

[sleazerikki]

yeah! woo! " The Right To Rock" should be in the Constitution!mother fuckers!!!

[mikmikals]

OK, I know everyone rips on 80s metal, but man did the guitars always sounds soooooo good.

Listen to RATT for proof.

[Viic88]

check out my band if you like. we´re inspired of heavy metal-bands like Keel.

[zimmyjim]

a 311 in progress......hmmmm i like 311!

[BloodEagle729]

you've got it

the right to rock

fight for it

the right to rock!

[SQTS]

Fucking good song, hard hitting, suits them, and speaks the truth, great band wish the could've been more famous than they were though!!

[mamametalshop]

80's metal may be the only mark of that my generation (aka. the lost generation,baby-busters...etc.­) leaves on this earth. At least people can assume that we didn't take ourselves too serious and had a few laughs along the way.

[Irishguy20008]

These are the original men in black

[xenorocker73]

Awesome shit man!!! I can't believe it! I remember watching this when I was a young 13 year old Metal Head. Thank's for putting it on.

[carlos6villa]

yeaahh!!!!!!

[hiramspm]

yes, remember 1989 rock was driven undergorund.

lets make it

2009 rock was driven to the streets stronger than ever

[22cbox44]

Where do I find a Keel hat like that?

[Hairmetalfreak2]

Ha ! saw this Vid in the "it came from the 80's" MTV special......thought it was funny How Ron Keel was then in rock and how he had made it to country ...and sang this crappy thing like "my guitar is my sitck and my truck is a horse " hahahhah pathetic...but i guess he's rock n roll now and will be part of ROCKLOHOMA 2009.

still ok song.. and ok vid.. its pure 80's ..gotta love it.

[625switch]

lol...I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers that! He was so pathetic trying to act "country" I didn't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for him.

With that said, they're playing at the M3 Concert in Columbia, MD on May 30. We'll see if he brings his horse out on stage.

[SleazenTeaze]

aww man i looove the beginning its hilarious

[alejandropc39]

There can not be a video better than this. ¡It´s absolutely awesome! It´s just the tipical 80´s video. It´s the best video of the 20th century.

[SleazenTeaze]

hella

[ladyrocker6]

Classic!!!!

[buttrocklover]

I love this vid! Total classic in my book.

[bestofbeast1000]

Pretty cool. Did you know Ron Keel auditioned for Black Sabbath?

[Dvdjnknsn]

Do you know what year? Who he was to replace? Who got the gig? It's quite the list! Thanks.

[maidenaussie]

Hahaha stick it to the man... \m/

[usrnamedenied]

HELL YESSS :D

[AxlBarcia]

Fantastico!! Keel Rules!! GLAM FOREVER!!!

[carlos6villa]

[vandealex]

80s cheeze rules

[ozzytimestwo]

I am fifty years and still have the RIGHT TO ROCK,damn this shit is good. hip hop is dead, YAHOO

[BullsharkPresents]

Timeless song and video. You can barely tell it was shot in the 80's. Why were the Blues Brothers chasing the kid with the mullet?

[arkangel7j]

JAMMIN SONG , still an alltime classic anthem

[frdmrdr]

The 80's ruled. You could go to the record store and buy anything hair band or heavy metal and it was good shit. Nowadays, music mostly sucks. Damn I feel lucky to have lived the lifestyle: jeans jacket with buttons and spikes, 2 packs of smokes, nonstop parties, 35 cents to your name and tickets to all these great bands. Damn my life sucks now!

[zapht3]

im only 14, i so wished i could have lived in the 80's...

[robotzorro]

Does your life suck, or do YOU suck?

[vivalasvegas1907]

In 2009 rock has been drivin underground by douchebag record execs forcing hip hop and beyonces fat ass down everyones throat. Penalty? You have to listen to shitty music. Screw taht, I WANNA ROCK, GODDAMMIT!

[ANOLDMANONCRACK]

I HAVE... THE RIGHT TO ROCK!!!!!

[bd189]

portrays republicans in their true image

[arkangel7j]

thats horse puckey, im hardcore conservative and vote republican the VAST majority of the time and im nothin like the goons in this video , ive rocked hard to Keel & all the good bands SINCE the 80's & STILL will, seen lots of em in concert & STILL go anytime i can, know thousands more like me too, ur blanket assessment of us all is WAY off, weve just got a lil common sense & common decency, the anti rockers u should be worried about are hillary clinton, tipper gore & similar stupid liberals

[nomoretears10]

Damn i wish i would've been around for the 80's. Music just doesn't have that feeling anymore. METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!

[daveniner]

This song sounds like a professional wrestler wrote the lyrics.

[luda09860987603987]

[grahamski]

STFU about that marxist POS obama forfucksakes!...WTF does that a-hole have to do with metal!.

Fuck him, and fuck you.

[7thSonOfA7thSon1992]

Obama is not black, he is half and spent most of his life in a white community!

[mightywibble]
