Aria - Hero of The SpeedWay

This video is an ode to two of the things that I most like: Hard'n'heavy music (80's Heavy Metal) and Science Fiction (Sci-Fi). The movie is Mad Max, directed by George Miller, produced by Byron Kennedy, released in 1979 and, of course, Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Steve Bisley and Hugh Keavys-Byrne are in the role.
As long as you ask me, Mad Max is the greatest classic (Australian) movie ever made.

About the fantastic Heavy Metal band Ария, if you're from the western world, you may know them as Aria, Arija, Ariya, Apust, Apnr or you may not know'em at all. But Ария (Aria) is most well-known eights heavy metal act in Russia (maybe in whole eastern world), still going strong to this day (as they deserve to be).

If you like the early works of bands like Armored Saint, Jag Panzer, Accept, Jaguar (UK), Avenger (UK), Tygers of Pan Tang, Sortilege, Salário Mínimo, Savage Grace, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest...etc, then I'm sure that you will like Ария.

Aria is:
Valery Kipelov (Валерий Кипелов) -- Vocals
Vladimir Holstinin (Владимир Холстинин) -- Guitars
Sergey Mavrin (Сергей Маврин) -- Guitars
Vitaly Dubinin (Виталий Дубинин) -- Bass
Maxim Udalov (Максим Удалов) -- Drums

The Song "Герой Асфальта" (also known as Geroj Asfalta, or, Hero Of The Asphalt) is the title track for their third album, which was originally released by USSR record label "Melodiya" back in 1987.

And of course, I got nothing against the original soundtrack made by Brian May (NOT the guitar player from UK's classic rock band Queen).

I think that most of characters of the movie are on this video: the main force patrols (the bronze), Night Rider and his girl, the Toecutter, Johnny the boy, the Mechanic, Jessie, Jim Goose, Bubba Zanetti, Fifi Macaffe,The Old lady, the bikers, the gangs, Max Rockatansky ... so I hope you enjoy the video.

Have some fun!

Always wanted to grab a still of 4:24 and now I can finally get it. In the movie it lasts all of about a third of a second . . .
