Iris - Iris [live Festivalul Rock '92]

Iris - "Iris"
Music by: Florin Ochescu
Lyrics by: Cristian Minculescu
Song released on: "Iris I", LP, Electrecord, 1984
Video recorded at: "Rock '92" International Festival, Bucharest, Arenele Romane, September 12th 1992
Performed by: Cristian Minculescu - lead vocals, Nelu Dumitrescu - drums, Doru Borobeică - bass guitar, Valter Popa - lead and rhythm guitar

This 1984 speed metal song created by the Romanian hard rock band Iris was one of the most desired songs in the 80's and early 90's. The song's lyrics represent an invitation to a Iris concert, where rock music becomes a God, an Iris is our beaming star. Cristi Minculescu shows his vocal abilities as a veritable heavy metal artist, using high-pitched vocals and leaving all other singers from Romania in lower vocal ranges. This song was released on the band's debut album, "Iris I". Here we have a live performance recorded at the "Rock '92" International Festival, where Iris performed besides Ian Gillan and Uriah Heep. At this festival Iris had the greatest opening act for a Romanian artist or band, ex-Deep Purple's vocalist Ian Gillan singing before them. This song proves that great and true hard rock music was created during the communist regime of Nicolae Ceauşescu and, in the same time, this song could represent the legacy for the younger Romanian generations of heavy metal musicians.

@Docadolf

Well, if only you take a 1976 album from priest and acdc and compare both to the first one from iris, also from 1976, maybe you would reconsider...Have you done that?...did you notice "at the time" in what I've said?anyway, what I will never do is to offend you just because you have a different oppinion or taste kid. I'm already an adult.
