  • That is true they were one of the better L A strip bands from that time when they played the pantagest there they were actually getting better fan fair than the likes of groups like helix quiet riot and a few others from the early 80's

  • @hashguy68 if you were in the strip scene in 80's you are grown man now... Correct? And you are telling that this song made chicks wild?? Have u also started smokin crack? Yeah i know that even the worst bands, like odin, had their groupies but you cant be serious... And you still dig this?? I'll bet there were 2000 other bands who didnt make it and sounded 200,000 times better than odin.

  • hashguy68 was smoking too much reefer "back in the day" ~ because ODIN was pretty much listened to by pimple faced boys in their bedrooms. Girls were listening to Duran Duran or Ratt circa 1985. Still a great song and I admit to having the white vinyl version but never saw any panties fall off to this tune...

  • back in the day,if ya played this,the girls panties just fell off...great song

  • First heard about these guys through the 'Decline of Western Civilization' documentary. How far did these guys get in their career?

  • Spinal Tap??

  • Amazing Rock band!

  • Odin sucks.........BIG TIME!

  • @charger4079

    and you suck justin beibers dick you fucking prick

  • Bman you are the joke. Odin rocks. You are probably a fan of Nirvana and any band who is fronted by a bald man in a bowling shirt. 2 chords and a cloud of dust. Thats when rock n roll was ruined forever. Or maybe you like todays music that consists of one keyboard programmed song and all the artist do is change the lyrics over it. Metal had balls that you obviously never had. The best music and musicians there ever were were from this genre. Keep posting great vids like this.

  • @Marhef77 amazing video and song, long live glam hair hard metal, desde mexico

  • one of my top ten songs

  • the problem they had was there production thars why many people think they suck they were one of the few glam metal band that were really metal

  • I'm all about the 80's... but seriously, this is horrible. Loved them in 'Decine'... they had the same attitude all of us had back in the day, but they were just plain horrible. Audio diarrhea.

  • i just 10 years old with my real long black hair that past my butt and wavering' tight clothes first time odin show i was on sunset blvd i snuck in Whisky a Go Go get high on heroine, i was really there looking for rock gods van halen and to put a band together but too many assholes on stripe so i went hang with chulos instead

  • @lukerocks444 WHAT!!! they back in town again.damn complete with armored saint refugeee? and i mean that in a good way. I used to have there album when it was 1st pressed in white do you remember that ? ahhh

    when metal was fresh and new those were the days

  • motley crue, dokken, ratt, poison, warrant and all the other 80's band s were the metal scene back then i love odin i wish i could have seen them back then there were so many Great bands in the 80's and those bands weren't and still aren't a joke there's metallica and megadeth that kicked ass too anthrax too the 80's wouldn't be a scene without these bands

  • They're even more ridiculous than I first thought when I saw the Decline of Western Civ Part II. This clearly shows why Odin never got signed. I'm embarrassed for them. It's hard to avoid laughing myself silly at how awful everything about this is. If anyone younger than 20 wants to know why the LA Metal scene died as we entered the 1990s, show them videos from Motley Crue, then Dokken, then Poison, and then Odin. That should perfectly illustrate how the metal scene became a joke.

  • this was the stuff that made me a metal head back then what a good experience for a 17 yr old

  • You misspelled "you're," dude.

  • ...and, all of a sudden, 1989 comes back to me. You guys kicked ass ( country club reseda ) If you werent there back in the day, you really dont understand- and you Really missed out!

  • Wow Alls I can say is Classic underrated band!

  • ain't they from glendale?

  • They have weird faces, can't put my finger on it, something about their mouths, maybe. Their guitars are too thick. Why do they have a problem with someone wanting to start a mosh pit? It's like they're going way out of their way to send the message that people who want to mosh are unwelcome at their shows. Uh...oh yeah, those muliple closeups of the weird looking shoe (boot?) was also weird.

  • if any 1 has the "ORIGINAL" ep it wood be me. Does any 1 remember the record being WHITE.Some good shit .regular airplay back in the day on KNAC 105.5 LONG BEACH , CA.

  • You know there's gonna be trouble when the guy with the mohawk in the Twisted Sister shirt starts up the pit.  ;)

  • KILLER-SONG !!! I have the original EP & many other stuff from this fantastic band.

  • And there's something distinctively Boogie-Nights-ian about his cadences.

    Feel, feel, feel, feel the he-heat

    I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with how bad this is.

  • "A glowing woman, next to my maaaahind" ???

    There's no excuse for lyrics that bad. Even his faux-earnest delivery can't save that abomination.

    And without the music, these lyrics read like a hastily written Hallmark greeting card by Adam Sandler.

    What about: "She softly whispers WE'LL NEVER PAAAART!!!!!!"

    Maybe that sounds like a whisper when you've wasted your hearing on GOD AWFUL HAIRMETAL!!!!!!

    Seriously, there's good metal out there, but this is what many people think it all sounds like.

  • @flemmasterj Let's see you do better, 20yrs ago. I knew these guys, they opened for Dokken and Keel? at the Hollywood Palladium way back then..... and put on a great show.  Jeff Duncan is in DC4, Armored Saint, Odin, another band... wtf is your problem? I'ts a great song that represents the times perfectly. \m/

  • @flemmasterj  your an idiot!!!

  • No punks allowed in the hair metal crowd! From today's point of view this video in its almost embarrassing cheesiness becomes entertaining again. Why was it that even the most average hair metal bands had great lead guitarists?

  • fuckin cool as hell

  • Last time I heard this it was on KNAC in Los Angeles

  • Last time I heard this it was on KNAC in Los Angeles! They were better than ppl give them credit for

  • odin is in the vein of classic metal like warrior, vyper, madmax, blitzkrieg-the hair band produced by ron keel or even classic battle axe.

  • @MultiCowboys4life metallica maybe? megadeth?

  • odin kicks ass dont forget the jeff duncan later went to armored saint awesome

  • Awful awful awful awful awful

    Can't believe people called this shit metal once.

    Thankfully,hair metal's dead now and people listen to real metal bands,like Avenged Sevenfold or Slipknot.

  • @TheGreatDuck

    Mali ovo je vise metal nego ti bendovi koje pomijnes.Da si ziveo u `80-im mozda bi razumeo neke stvari.

  • @thehunter666100 Oprosti,bio sam sarkastičan.

  • Wow this song doesn't suck as much dick as i thought it would. That intro is pretty sweet!

  • It's like i'm watching U-68 POWER HOUR again....nice

  • They're featured in The Decline of Western Civilization( I think part 2 ) A lot of interviews, and performances.

  • Only people of exquisite taste can appreciate that song.

  • This is really bad

  • 2:56 punk shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • VERY CHEESY BUBBLE GUM NOT SO HEAVY CALIFORNIAN METAL EXTREMELY CLICHE AS HELL BUTTHE CUTE "FEMALE " SINGER IS VERY BON JOVI ALIKE AAHHAA !!!

  • @canousi this band's best contribution to metal came when guitarist Jeff Duncan left Odin and joined Armored Saint.

  • The bass player looks like Winnie Cooper. ;)

  • It's bad on so many levels...

  • @viktorhat  OMG that was a good move for Jeff Duncan. Saint rule!

  • I don't mean to dis on this because tastes vary. However, this band is not heavy enough to be worthy of the name of Odin. They're very pretty. Perhaps they should have named their band Baldur.

  • Channeling "Stairway to Heaven" on the solo.

  • I'm embarrassed just watching this video.

  • ummm ahhhh  rope me in with the Name Odin and then slam me with this...whew

  • I'M ALIVE

  • I remember KNAC playing this song a couple times and then they never played it again. I never could find this record. Thanks for posting it!

  • Damnn, its good that metal took another direction, fucking posseur bands just like motley and shit.

  • hey everyone this song  is so good me encanta i was in the concert i have fun

  • Great Song

  • empezando el día!!

  • my favorite song :)

  • well randy you boasted that you were as great as robert plant and jim morrisson but this right here lays bear your talent.

    you went into the studio, you had the time,you had a good band behind you and good producer and this is the best you could do...

    well it proves beyond doubt that you were not in the league of legends as you claimed you were....

    go back and watch plant,morrisson and other legends in interviews they were humble ...

    a lesson for you mate...

  • Love the outro..

  • This band is like a joke right? Thank God they never made it big. LOL

  • These guys made excellent music and never got enough credit for their style shaping the wave of the LA music scene, I was there and they ripped it up with their music...

  • mr pussy approves. f'n a.

  • like ther music,the ass chaps, thats stupid,who wants 2 look at his molby white ass. But, they should of had mre suscess

  • Good Shit!!

  • fuckin cool, man.

  • this dude could've gave Britney Spears a run for her money...that's some bad shit!

  • Where's your ass-less chaps in this video fag..

  • @angrywhitetrucker Fuck you pig.

  • I miss Odin. I used to go to all their gigs in LA

  • @1USAWARRIOR Really?

  • I loved "hair metal".........but these guys aren't very good.

    I guess there was a reason they never made it big.

  • @chuckasaurus Why weren't they good?

  • just found this ep on vinyl.

  • Can't get much more cheesier than this for videos. No wonder why they never made it dude make a decent video

  • Is this a parody?

  • The song isn't so bad but the looks just killed it, LOL. It is screaming Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant wanna be ... although it is fairly well done.

  • This song f**kin jams!

    Antivillan,what you should be "embarrassed" about is the fact that you can't spell. D-bag.

  • It is truly a puzzle how these guys never rose above being a local act- they had it all!! Jeff Duncan is one amazing guitarist, and now he's teamed up with Rowan Robertson to form the greatest guitar duo EVER in DC4.

  • Best song I`we heard in a long time!!!!!!!

  • Holy Shit!!! I have this EP on cassette. It took my 3 years looking in all the used music stores all over Southern California to find it. If I remeber correctly, the best song on the album is titled The Eye. The intro is demon voice psycho babble then the legendary scream kicks in that lasts for ever.

  • Love this :)

    Don't care that people think they're shit!

  • this band was cool i seen them in a bowling alley parking lot in azusa,ca. thats when we could party like that lots of bands & fun!!

  • cool man.

  • me name is odin in real life :-)

  • magnificent :)

  • These guys should have made it big. The guitar player actually Amoured Saint. I went to High Schoool with Randy O's cousin Jerry Dixon from Warrant. This is a great song.

  • i remember me, and my friend tim seeing odin every time they played in hollywood, gazzaries, roxy, the wiskey. while driving to a show one time, we ran into a street near sunset bl. called odin. we were always up front, banging are heads like we always did, the singer randy o stopped and looked at tim and i, and said, "see these guys up here? i want you guys to rock like these guys are"! and gave us one of those cool hand slaps. if i only had a time machine. dose anyone have one?

  • The chords sound like Stairway to Heaven, as does parts of the lead break. It's a tastefully played and written tune.

  • this song has KNAC written all over it!

  • does KNAC still exist and if so do they still play the good stuff?

  • @maziku They are on the Internet and yes the still play some kick*** Music!

  • Cool!...thanks for posting.

  • man this song is a masterpiece. A timestamp of what was going on in in 84-85 oh metal and arena rock. I cant really understand why these guys didnt make it HUGE after this album, especially with this song on it. So well written - the mix of light and shade with the guitars and harmonies is poetic. Randy 0 has an AMAZING voice and can hit the highs with the best of them.

  • 2:47 jajaja

  • all you hater's will never understand the power of white tenney-shoes and boots. you can't top this and you know it..

  • This band offends my faith as a Norse Pagan. They would dare to call themselves Odin & play such horrible "music" unfit for ANY god.

  • @shannonodinson

    why do you believe in norse mythology?

  • @jjason55740

    Why not?

    Christianity wasn`t exactly intruced in a democratic manner in Norway. Most people were presented with a choice between christianity or death in the beginning of the 10th century in Norway.. Who knows what people would belive today if they had a real choice back then? Does it really matter which god(s) you believe in? The idea of a supernatural power is equally dumb in every religion:)

  • @tdh79

    yeah i know I'm an atheist .

  • Chill out valknut. Norse Paganism is amusing, but only nieve people actually believe in it.

  • una ocasion tuve la oportunidad de acompañar a este grupo en una tocada en el key club , en 1989 ¡¡¡¡

  • So FUN!!! I remember seeing these guys at the Rainbow club in Hollywood 1986. They were a lot better live than in this video.

  • im embarrest i just watched this

  • @antvillain Fuck you pig.

  • no fuck you pig. im gonna get odin kicked off youtube watch me. ive done it before

  • @antvillain blow me cunt.

  • I think better production would make this song better. It's still not bad. But like when he's soloing a busier bass line or some rhythm guitar or rock keys to fatten up the sound would be nice. Anyway, I am off to do some cock pushups. Cheeers

  • Good God!!! They Sucked on The Metal Years Documentary and they Suck even more with this pathetic piece!!!! Who the F#*k signed this garage band?!?!?!?!?!

  • I've just changed my mind, it is fuckin' hilarious! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!

  • terrible so fucking bad. this is just a rip off band. nothing original about this at all.

  • fuckin' great!

  • cool fn song. loose the stupid make up

  • damm technodream really loves shit! cant stop thinking bout shit fucking joto!

  • I must say,,,Ths isnt all that bad!Some vocals off key,But, the structure of the song makes up for it!

  • utter fuckin' shit! One of the worst bands ever formed! Total wank! The song is shit, the video is shit and the band are complete shit. It would be funny if it wasn't so dire!

  • agree i cant beleive people actually think this is a good band. i can write better shit then this with usung my hands

  • this tune kicks ass man i go on a heavy trip to the past best times of my life sex,sex and more sex

    oh dont fORGET TO BRING ME A BEER BITCH

  • yea armored saints ok i thought there was 1 with a u in it as well?.....

  • You know you trouble's coming when a dude with a mohawk wearing a Twisted Sister shirt starts the pit at your show.

  • ODIN and DC4 should have been on the main stage at ROCKLAHOMA.

  • Comment removed

  • thanks it reminds me of how much of a geek I was when I was 16

  • Wow!!!! This is when Metal was fun!!!!!!!

  • The guitar riff coming in at 0:26 is soooo METAL..

  • I used to go see this band @ The Country Club when I was in the 7th grade. I had a guitar pick from Jeff, and a b/w glossy of the band. I was down wit Odin in the early years. =P

  • travestiet?

  • Couldn't rip off Stairway to Heaven any more?? Come on!

  • I was sitting here going How is this a Stairway ripoff then I heard the solo....lol...Totally.

  • utilize the bass

  • dude's rockn' the shit out of that bass...

  • does sound like the Crue though..

  • why didn't a label ever pick this up? The Decline of Western Civil...was shot like in what?..'87? It seems these guys would have been way more popular atleast by '90 because they were sighning every band from the Sunset-striip..really horrible bands had videos all over Mtv ..it really got out-of-control. This genre could never happen again these guys grew-up on real 70's guitar-heros' and had big dreams..

  • Never saw this clip before it roxx!

    Is this the only video clip of Odin?

  • Randy O sang for Metallica when they were called Young Metal Attack.

  • Man this brings back memories. I saw Odin in the mid 80s at the sunset strip in hollywood. They were playing at Gazzaris. Man I miss those times.

  • @gmlasam I was going to post that i saw these guys at gazzaris on the strip back in the eighties. Those were some damn good times. I think i played every bar and club in hollywood, all a memory now, lol.

  • Lol, great music but, yeah, the vid is way 80's.

  • Wow I can't beleive I'm seeing this! I was a metal vixen in the 80's & would see these guys at clubs. ***MANY HAPPY MEMORIES ***

    Thanx so much for posting this! I've always loved this song!!!

  • @Rockerchic4God I have so many memories from the strip in the eighties, probaly alot more than i can remember, rock on.

  • Could have easily been an early Motley Crue song...

  • OMG U89 back in the day,they were a good band what happened?? I was 15 watching this on channel u68,Odin U rock!!!

  • holy crap thats right i remember that too friggin uhf station i stumble upon one night WOW

  • dawnrexgurl..haha...hey, I thought i was the only one who remembered u68...the show was called the "Power Hour"..I think it came on at midnight..loved it..

  • The Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 was awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • I think this was the commercial radio version. There was a much longer solo on the white vinyl. Odin was very underrated.

  • The video is absolutely shocking, but musically the band are great. Sure, they were no Motley Crue, but then neither were Skid Row.

  • This band isnt that bad I'v heard way fucking worse music that has been signed by major labels.

  • Odin were such a great band from the 80s.. randys voice is pure magic.. 10 out of 10!!!!

  • I was 18 when this song came out. I had just move to Morongo Valley in the High Desert in California. I heard it on a radio station out of Palm Springs one night and those of you who lived in Morongo remember the crappy reception because of the mountain range. well, even with the crappy reception I still loved the song.

  • Well I'll be. This was posted on my 12th bday. :P

    Seriously, I love everything by Odin. The best lost band of the 80s for sure! I don't even mind the big hair... lol.

  • Good song but the video is gay, no offense to gay people reading this comment, its a figure of speech, kinda like cheesy. If you listen and dont look its cool but once you look at the video....gay.

  • WOW I don't why people are giving this band crap. they're pretty good

  • OMG.........I remember these daze with Randy, Jeff, Aaron and Shawn.........GREATEST day's of my life!!!!!!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN!

  • I can not believe I found this on YouTube!

    Odin was hands down the best band of the hair band era! It's a crying shame that Motley Crue made it as far as they did and these guys did not.

  • Motley Crue wrote better songs and there bad boy looks & attitude play a big role with them. Dont get me wrong I have the re-released CD from these guys and I play th shit out of this song. I think ODIN was a great band and definitely this song I love it 'but they sure were no MOTLEY CRUE!

  • If you have the song, "THE WRITER," please post it. Just put the white album cover (with Odin on it), and play the friggin song. The awesome screams in that song kicks ass.

    Thanks for posting!!

  • Vinyl was white. Odin from Glendale CA. Aaron was the bass player. Jeff Duncan on Mike Accardi's green Kramer. Jeff's brother on drums. "The Writer" was a song off the album and so was "Judgement Day" which totally kicked ass... somebody post it please!

  • so kewl!

  • Great 80's Hair/Glam band! Hard to find video in excellent form. Thanks for posting it.

  • Cool Song.I do know some of the others they've had,but they are not really that what I would call excellent.

    But this song and video kick ass!

    Thank's for posting.Otherwise I've never found it!

  • I have this album on white vinyl and if I am not mistaken, it is the bass player who wrote this song. Then I think after the decline movie they kicked him out of the band. Dumb mistake they made becouse this was the best song they had. Does any body remember u68 in New Jersey in 1985? This is where I saw this video.

  • Man I have been searching for this song for years. I only heard it on the radio back in the mid 80's. (Razzm Radio) Brings back great memories. Thanks for posting. Now I gotta have more Odin..

  • it's great ... the video is kinda creepy.... ouch!

  • so glad i wasnt in LA back then ...fuckin wow

  • The lead singer says: "We're gonna make it! We're going to be as big as Zeppelin and the Beatles. If not then I'll kill myself!"

    Well I guess he's dead now.

    And I'm going to say the same thing about this performance that some other guy said on another Odin video:

    Shit Sandwich.

  • But actually, this song is better after a second listen. It's not a bad song really. I like the guitar riff too. Arranged well too. Their other songs I've listened to and wasn't as impressed though. But I change my mind about this song. So sory for the evil comments from before.

  • well some glam bands didn't get credit for being good because there were so many. Was he drunk when he said that?
