me four. Exactly what I had and I wore it out good. Loved these songs! Powerful, driving metal that you want to sing along to with a bad ass facial expression!
Yes he's got a great voice, I'm glad he lets it out, he should a little more. The most underated is the guitarist, he's a brilliant player and fast as hell. I do mean the guitarist singing with the singer, and starting and playing the solo exept for the last tiny, tiny bit. These guys damn sure should have been bigger, but then again what competition they had. Yes he did suck with malmstein , he never would let his real voice out, he screamed everything or had a hoarseness that sounded bad but malmstein wanted all the attention so maybe he wanted it that way.
Game of chance, some great bands don't get promoted like they should. Record Labels and management play HUGE roles in how bands succeed or don't reach their full potential. Obsession was one that was better than most at that time.
This song is so bad ass❕I loved Obsession, and XYZ, they became popular too late, The lipstick and hair bands killed heavy metal and hard rock. Everybody should remember the night of the big switch, when MTVs head banger ball didn’t come on, on its regular time. Instead yo MTV Raps took over the slot, Wasn’t long after that, when grunge started taking over.
Yes this sux for us . The 80s has a legacy living on though. I mean when the kids are using slow motion captions to rip everything off . That says it all . Us guys growing up in the 80s had no such thing . Obsession was awesome, they make me think of Armored Saint . Could have been huge in European power metal circuit . Like Manowar . 🤘
I met Mike, back in day and then I in LA, Mike had a studio in his apartment....made of box and whatever...Mike V all I gotta say is true....fuckin guy I respect.....
Yeah I was blown away by for the love of money, they were terribly undervalued and underated. I went the next day and bought the album, that's how much I liked em, kick ass brother. Their another band in that period of my young life that made me want to play guitar 🎸 and I wish I had applied myself the way I did to shooting bows or hunting deer, I think 🤔 I might have went somewhere but there's just so many bands out there it's really hard.
OMG!!!! TOTAL THANKS AND APPRECIATION for posting this!!! I had been thinking of this band and album. I used to crank this when I was 16, 17, 18. I had a cassette actually and used to proudly crank it loud cruising in the Camaro. This is SO WEIRD that I came across this right now on the internet after just thinking of these songs. Thanks again!
Arthur Gonzales Mike Vescera joined Loudness in 1987. They might have made it if he didn’t leave. These guys are from New Haven CT. Not many bands made a dent into the music scene from CT besides Hatebreed.
Joe Rico actually Shelton CT was where they practiced. Canal street. Used to love watching them. I was lucky to live in that town. We had an entire row of old factories they turned into band rooms.
I had the good fortune to grow up in the town where they practiced. Strongest weed I ever smoked was given to me as I sat watching them on canal street in Shelton CT 😂
What was the college radio station that played metal on Friday and Saturday nights. Thats how i found out about obsession, fates warning, arsenal, king diamond.... List goes on
@@neuregel WNHU 88.7 - that was a great show. Metal Mike I think was the host. He played our demo a few times. I was so grateful to hear my own band on the radio. Only station that would have played stuff like this th-cam.com/video/Op8Z6_ZDeDU/w-d-xo.html
@@gsoltis29 that is a beautiful album. Those t-shirts were hard to get. When i was stationed in virginia beach, i had a rage for order t shirt air brushed. Wasn't perfect but i loved it
I first heard these guys on mtv's Head Bangers Ball, man I went and bought the album which was all good, every song. The singer Mike is damn good so when Malmstein used him I wondered why he didn't sound very good, he screamed or had a hoarseness to his voice but Malmstein wanted all the attention so he may have wanted it like that.hahaha. no really. Now the guy playing the guitar, the one who sings with Mike on vocals and plays all but the last couple seconds of the solo is a damn good guitarist. He's very skillful and fast as hell.
Mike V also sang for Loudness! He is a fucking legend!
Great song great band 🤘🤪🤘🇮🇹
Overlooked 80s rock.... nothing is better.
I had this album on cassette back in the 80's,great album.
Me too
Me three I went and bought it to hear For the love of money but every song was good, the whole album jammed.
They are from New Haven Connecticut.I saw them a few times back then
me four. Exactly what I had and I wore it out good. Loved these songs! Powerful, driving metal that you want to sing along to with a bad ass facial expression!
@@dannygroves6764 indeed all songs jammed.
wonderful music, great singer, unique.
They were heavier than their glam look gave them credit before. I had all of their albums.
AWESOME GROUP SAW THEM AT THE CHANNEL IN BOSTON
That guy has a hell of a voice
Mike Vescera is one of the greatest metal vocalists ever
Mike vecera..... Yeah but when he joined y malmstein he sounded terrible

Just 3 years before this he was sub par he improved insanely fast

These guys are great! I play their songs a lot. Very good Metal.
🤘🏻🎸 It doesn’t get any better than this! 🎸🤘🏻
One of my favorites
I got this on vinyl from yrs back good solid record
One of the guys in the band runs a Christian book store here in Easley S.C. he is a very cool guy ..name is Art .
Which one?
@@neuregel I believe he is referring to Art Maco the more heavyset guitar player
@@neuregel Art
BEST GUY EVER , tell him johnny ( ric Springfield ) says hi
Right on !!
Brutal. Pure heavy metal at its best. Kick ass song and the whole album, methods of madness.
There's nothing brutal in this, poser.
@@Mahmood42978 Poser you. Show respect.

Hardest working and great singer.....I luv him.
Thanks to Sleepaway Camp 2 for introducing me to this band.

Yes! Obsession from CT!
Very underrated!!!

Steelheart was the most sucessful band ever from Ct
Joe Rico actually Shelton CT was where they practiced. Canal street. Used to love watching them. I was lucky to live in that town. We had an entire row of old factories they turned into band rooms.
@@gsoltis29 and used to watch E S P practice twice a week down in those old factories
@@tonyvaccarelli7950 we probably know each other. Sean Kelly ended up being one of my best friends. In fact I just jammed with Brian a month ago 👍

@@gsoltis29 thanks for posting that...... I remember when they went off the air and played Ozzy's.... You can't kill rock and roll
@@neuregel No problem. You reminded me that I need to get a copy of Rage for Order on vinyl :)
@@gsoltis29 that is a beautiful album. Those t-shirts were hard to get. When i was stationed in virginia beach, i had a rage for order t shirt air brushed. Wasn't perfect but i loved it
I Heard OBSESSION For The First Time In The " Metal Massacre V° 2 " , The Track Was " Shadows Of Steel " . I Really Appreciated It !
i remember seeing the ad, But didn't hear Mike sing until he joined Loudness,
about in 2011 i did finally check out the Obsession songs
By the way It's the same singer lol be improved like crazy in just a few years
Kids today will never know what real heavy metal is
Gracias infinitas por la buena calidad de este vídeo, saludos.
Metal guitar sounded so much better back in the 80s.
All thanks to my uncle for making this song happen ( Gary Miller ) 🥰
dig this album..👍💞💞👍
Top notch tune.

Michael vescera on vocal , master.
this guy sing in ygwie malmsteen song forever love and prisoner of love
#1
🤘🏿
For mike voice lovers..try loudness soldiers of fortune and on the prowl...he scream like hell!!! Maintaining his body..of slave street punk rock!!!!
Ok I never heard of these guys, why, it's good shit tho, vocals are a bit like Crimson Glory meets Sanctuary
Michael Vescera went on to become Yngwie Malmsteen's vocalist on Seventh Sign and Magnum Opus!
Yngwie said he was his best!
You had to be in new york, Connecticut
after this he, the singer joined LOUDNESS, sang on 2 of their albums,
soldier of fortune 1990 - and on the prowl 1991
@@MetalHeart8787 which were both kick fucking ass albums
Mike vescera always kicked ass. Before loudness, we had and now have obsession. You've got to be joking.
Loudness singer ?
Yeah, Soldiers Of Fortune album 1989
No Posers Allowed... explicit True metal purpose! ANARCHY! Not sheeps... Something like WOLVES
