I remember finding this in my uncle's collection in about 1985 and thinking...Metallica, you cheeky fuckers. Even the general theme about being on stage is the same.

@NowKillTheKing He-he!! maybe they'll give us a support slot on their next tour as a kind of thanks for helping launch their career?? NOT!! :o)

One of my fav songs from the NWOBHM era. Flat out ass-kicking ! We need some live footage of this tune!

[SolarSoul1970]

This is one of the finest examples of the NWOBHM, cool and vibrant song ! Thanks Jeff for this song !!

@gjunki Uhhh, the songs aren't very similar at all. The riff sounds more like "killing time"

@DeliciousDivo ...for us poor buggers who can't get our hands on a record player
