Totally agree! I only first saw them back in the summer of 2016 and they have been my fav metal band ever since! Find me a metal band that pulls off better shows, not even Exodus could do that! Saw them twice this year, FUCKING GREAT BAND!
These guys were criminally underappreciated and underrated. It really was the Big 5, not the Big 4. Overkill released material before Anthrax did and Feel the Fire and Taking Over both were epic thrash albums that didn't take a back seat to anyone's best work in the genre. Overkill is one of only two bands (Nuclear Assault the other) who could successfully open for Slayer back in the 1980's. Amazing band. Great memories.
@@lm6817 If anyone reada Steel Magazine back in the 80s there was a column saying there are only 10 thrash riffs really, the bands just play them at different speeds and have different productions. At the time everyone was like "no" but you definitely feel like that, after listening to so many thrash bands over the years.
Saw them two days ago on the Into the Grave festival in the Netherlands. Overkill were the festivalwinner. Great powerfull convincing performance with a classic wall of Marshalls.
I went to a concert no more than two hours ago and these guys opened up for Symphony X. I haven't heard anything from these guys until tonight, and I gotta say they're pretty awesome. This song in particular actually sounded better live haha.

Saw these guys sep 23rd 2017 live at the glass house in pomona CA. Absolutely amazing show, rotten to the core was the 2nd song they played and the mosh got bigger faster and more vicious. Fuck that was easily my favorite concert ive been to these guys sounded amazing live and the energy in the crowd was explosive!!!
I'm Drunk To The Core Right Now And Overkill Is First Band I Listen To This Year Since Is 2017 Now. Happy New Year Everyone And I Am Going To Blast Overkill Till I Fall Asleep.
Saw them play this live, A humongous fight broke out between like 10 people and a few bouncers, Some guy was trying to pick up the stage floor monitors XD
@TheDarknez100 Actually Overkill *are* underrated, especially when you take into account some of their absolutely magnificent work. Still, it's not like people don't know about them, it's just that they deserve way more popularity than they have now.
![Overkill-Overkill [FULL EP 1984]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MeIJ_gTvzhk/mqdefault.jpg)
Easily one of the most CRIMINALLY underrated bands...not of just the past 20-30 years...try IN HISTORY. OVER-FUCKING-KILL!

One of your channels was coverkiller, if I'm not mistaken. Coverkill(-er). I saw what you did there.
coverkillernation im a sub lol
This comment hasn't aged well. I assure you overkill is just as known as exodus and Metallica to metalheads.
Your not wrong ya ever Gallant man! 🤘
10yrs later I'm still glad I got Overkill tattooed on my back
🤘🏽
Parabéns amigo eu escuto overkill desde 85 e até hoje
@@wolfganggerardgrisoni4174 eu conheci o overkill em 1997 eu tinha apenas 13
I'm still jealous.
@@wolfganggerardgrisoni4174 I saw them live once
On my 25th birthday (I'll turn 40 this year) I saw Overkill opening for Motörhead. It was one of the best concerts of my life.
Man. This song is underrated, but it kicks ass
This band is too! I was lucky to see them, Dark Angel opened up...back in 1990 in Detroit. Going to see them again in Sept 2017....they still jam!
going to see them in Sept to in Easton pa. can't wait
+steven maxwell LUCKY
This whole release is underrated and not given it's due.

So,no Exodus in your " Big 5"?
@@jasonz9074 no Van Basten???
The riff at the beginning reminds me a lot of Die by the Sword by Slayer.
Where got?
It's also like exodus, die by his hand love the riff....damn it's a lot like die by the sword.
Say “rotten to the core” the same way slayer says “die by the sword” and you’ll see they both work well!
Overkill isn’t singing about bacon though 😆
Also Testament's Alone In The Dark

This song went straight to my core in 1984.
The riff starting at 2:20 will break my neck someday.
So fuckin good
Still shredding it over all of these years.
Wished it was a bit longer :/
@@arctvrvs277 I agree that is one of the best 🤘💀🤘
You're at least gonna need some serious neck surgery
Overkill are freaking awesome and hearing this song played live, man it was badass.
Saw them for the first time in the early 80s at the showplace in Dover NJ
I was probably there saw them evrryime they played there and many other places
Man, the sheer power of the vocals pierces the core.
This has to be one of the best and most kickass thrash tunes ever!!! 🤘 🤘 🤟
I vaguely remember diving off the stage at L’Amour in Brooklyn at the Overkill show. Good times.
Lamours was the best
Thanks to this awesome band, all of us can enjoy masterpieces of a Gods' gift: the THRASH METAL.
Fuckin' overkill! One of the best thrash metal bands that still exists!
Sajid Sohan going to see them tomorrow night at Starland Ballroom in Jersey with friends from back in the day...haven't seen them live since 1989
Kathleen Wjdener Great! How was the show? 😃
Sajid.... For sure!
reminds me of slayer's 1st album
in sound, good sound
Saw them two days ago on the Into the Grave festival in the Netherlands. Overkill were the festivalwinner. Great powerfull convincing performance with a classic wall of Marshalls.
overkill the most unknown underated best thrash band ever!
Favorite song from the album! Love blasting this song in the car! \m/ \m/
I'm going to see this great band with D.R.I next saturday, it will be a fucking crazy night!!
El ritmo de esta canción siempre me flipó. Desde el mismo día en el que salió el disco. Ha llovido. Rockin'
Just beautiful that guitar sounds killer still in 2024 go bobby g.

+The Pho Eater Have to agree. Saw them here last night in Houston. Pretty badass.
+The Pho Eater Opening for Symphony X? That is just wrong! Overkill would have blown them off the stage!
+The Pho Eater They are awesome especially live. Symphony x and overkill both took turns headlining this tour. I sadly didn't go to this tour
+The Pho Eater That's Overkill For ya.
they rock saw them in 88 with megadeth and again in 89 with slayer and motorhead providence ri and boston ma
I have got a secret, hidden behind my eyes
A violation tragedy of violence hate and lies
Locked deep within a chamber, dark recesses of my mind
A tribute to insanity through hours days and time
Rotten to the core
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more
Accusations nominal Fall rotten to the core
So take a look, read a book, reach a new plateau
But stain the soul a life you took
You know not what I know
Rotten To the core
Misguided youth the bitter truth
Nothing left to chance
Fallen angel seeking adventure, new romance
How dare you touch you take the soul
Of one so pure so white
The violation tragedy
Took all she had that... night
Rotten to the core
I have got a secret hidden behind my eyes
A violation tragedy! of violence hate and lies
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more
Accusations nominal fall rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
To the core!
Rot, rot, rot, rot, rot
Rot, rot, rot, rot, rotten! Rotten! Rot!
To the core
This song is fire!
Wow probably one of the best song of this album masterpiece the vocals is very similary at the song W.T.Y.D by Annihilator just Awesome
Saw these guys sep 23rd 2017 live at the glass house in pomona CA. Absolutely amazing show, rotten to the core was the 2nd song they played and the mosh got bigger faster and more vicious.

This song is awesome. Rotten To The Core!

DD: “Hey Bobby, why did the chicken cross the road?”
Bobby: “I don’t know DD, why?”
DD: “To get to the other side.”
Bobby: 0:04
DD: “To get to the other side.”
Bobby: 4:50

Craziness laughing and my one favorites too!
2024 and thrashing still
Badass song.Even though the intro is a straight copy of the riff by slayer die by the sword,it's still badass

Fuck you
Ian Schultz You know it's possible to like Van Halen and Overkill, right?
it is. I do not.
Coolest Overkill Cover ever!👍🤟💪
This song isn’t a cover tho
Album Cover Sorry
@@andidamm5273 oh ok

Despues de elimination, la mejor el dia de ayer en rock al parque!
Anyone else think the tone is similar to Anthrax's "Spreading the disease"?
at a point
Paul Marco hey Paul.Are you from Maspeth? I knew a Paulie Marco growing up
Sounds like Die by the sword by slayer with a few less notes
Carl Canedy produced both albums so the tone is a bit similar
Paul Marco are you from Maspeth?
That fucking laugh will always remind me of Elmo. I'm sorry if some of you can't unhear it now, too.
Putrezit - pan' - la cotor! Hails Romania!
this + bowl skating = fucking rad
2:55 epic solo!
that laugh is so funny lol.
Bobby sounds like some kind of creepy girl laughing at the beginning
