It's crazy! I had a TH-cam recommendation of the song "twisted Lobotomy"... A song I hadn't heard because I've only really listened to Alison Hell, Word Salad etc era Annihilator... "Twisted Lobotomy" freaking slays, shows his vocal arrangements are unique and spot on. Even more than that, I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT WAS ACTUALLY STILL HIM. by far the most healthy looking from the era. Voice still intact, still plays with real energy. Dude looks young.
I just found this band and I have played for 25 years. Dude is a savage. Actually listening to this to learn the guitar. Criminally underrated shredder. I was at my brothers house and he was watching some old school MTV and this was on Metal Mayhem and I was in shock that these guys are not known by everyone for the guitar licks. Super clean playing.
I just love how bare their stage setup is for a fest. Annihilator doesn't need pyrotechnics or an entire ensemble. The music speaks for itself. Holy fuck they're precise.
@@stinkypinkeee5085 fucking oath. Roadracer was killing it, they gave us Sepultura Obituary Xentrix type o negative and heaps more bands I wonder what happened to em. Did they become roadrunner records cause sepo went to roadrunner
This is the most Canadian frontman performance I've ever seen in my life, and goodness me the sound is absolutely amazing for a live set. The drums sound gorgeous.
unfortunately, over the years, there were too many so called "event fans", like "hey you must be at wacken for once in a while" but they don't listen to metal. But that's a problem with all festivals, that there are always people who only want to drink a lot of alcohol and partying but don't care about the music.
Actually the crowd is quite active and amazing, but sadly Wacken recordings aren't capturing the crowd's sound, only the band. Listen to any recording from the festival, you can barely hear the audience in any of them.
Is nobody gonna talk about how Jeff is doing the vocals and is still stupid tight?? Annihilator pretty much always had frontmen while Jeff was doing guitar work. This is insanely impressive
Actually he is not a very good singer, more like average. But I guess he had no choice here, the bands lineup has never been stable which are sad, because with a guy like Jeff writing songs there is so much potential. But a stable lineup does always help, it also keeps spirit up. And Jeff is such an amazing guitarist, one of my all time favourites! And the fact he sings here and still plays as tight as usual is amazing. And for the same reason I respect Mustaine a lot.
That's the problems with Europe,,, So much Awesome bands there but the crowds are on pills, !!!! I see Annihilator in Vancouver ( Canada ) and that was Hell on this Festival,,,,
I've been always impressed about the live sound of Annihilator, they sound great and really fresh, the tone is incredible like they're in the studio, great performance.
Been a guitar player for decades; I love metal and distortion, Annihilator riffs and Jeff Waters' six-string wizardry... But a metal band without a decent drummer, at least a decent-sounding drum _kit,_ loses a lot of impact. The toms on this kit sound pretty great.
They know they are the shit, they know they sound perfectly tuned, they know they have one best of a drummer and they know the boss is bloody Jeff Waters; so it's ok to be cocky.
I don't know. The crowd in other countries is very stupid, don't enjoy the music like humans. In southamerica the crowd is so exciting, you can see Megadeth in Argentina or QuitoFest in Ecuador. Just check.
Spoken like a true meathead. Not all of us here in LatAm derive pride from being mediocre and last in many world rankings, but having "lots of fucking energy".
si llegaran a hacer un festival de metal en Argentina, Chile o Brasil asi como el wacken no vuelven nunca mas a Alemani, que publico mas muerto, esos metaleros se llegan a meter a un mosh o circle pit en cualquiera de los paises nombrados se van en camilla
From time to time i listen to annihilator songs.it's sad that the previous vocal isn't around anymore.the guitarist is really good, and underrated, but it seems he's really dragging the band to keep on...it's an underrated band, i love them, but i think they gonna get washed up soon
WNxNokturnal Because Annihilator changes their lineups a lot, only Jeff Waters has been a constant member of the band, since he created it, after Set The World On Fire, on studio records he did bass, guitars and vocals altogether. After that he changed some vocalists, but all of them left the band, so he does vocals again.
Por que não tem uma edição por ano do Wacken no Brasil? Cheio de posers ninguém ai bate crânio porque já estão acostumados a ver bandas grandes direto, a energia do rock não pode morrer!
Slayer know how they are loved in Russia! I was at their concert in St. Petersburg, but this is not the main thing-the main thing is that in the days of my youth the music of this group and many other thrash bands inspired us and supported us. And we listened to Slayer when the Communists banned even kiss! And during "perestroika" many of us in the pocket was a package of "grass" and we were drunk every day, and under the sofa was hidden some weapons, and such as we never stooped to listen to the Patriotic "pop". Only thrash! For all time! Music that will not betray! And we will not! I don't give a shit about any ruler, any fucking religion! Our religion is the truth of life! We are together with the whole world, and the whole world is for us!
Despite the fact that I've always felt that Annihilator is Canada's answer to Megadeth since the 80s it's hard to deny that they've made some great songs and albums through the years. And Jeff Waters is one of the most underrated guitar players in Metal. Daresay if there was no Dave Mustaine we would probably be talking about him in that way. Either way, Annihilator is Canadian Metal royalty up there with Razor and Anvil and deserve more praise. This classic song of theirs is evidence of that. \mm/
![Annihilator - Alison Hell [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](/img/n.gif)
Damn, out of all the 80s thrashers, Jeff Waters is hands down in best state. He looks as young and thundering as he did in the 90s.
Jeff Waters is one of the coolest shredders on the planet.
Se mantiene bien. Seguramente come saludable sus proteinas y sus verduras.

yup hes also been sober for a very long time too.
Omg please give this sound guy a gold medal
Exactly. Mix was excellent.
Fucking agreed
Yes.
Sure!!!
One of the best live mixes I have ever heard
Jeff is one of the cleanest guitarist there is in metal, fantastic technique and extremely well performed.
1:39 Kerry King himself came to see how to really play the guitar lol
😂 😂 😂
Haha!
and then we hear Slayer wants to split up... Coincidence?
Never learned...
OMG hahahahahahahaha
Underrated Canadian metal band. They deserve more attention!
RabuHina I know I Directed Alison Hell (Official).. Thought we would do more videos... Oh well it has had a lot of eyes .!
you know it...ffs
we canadians rock
+James Taylor did you ever try to contact them again?
I saw em in 89 with testament....
4:23 is one of the best pentatonic licks I've ever heard!
The fact you can tell he loves what he is doing makes it that much better
Ah yeah dude, he's so genuinely in love with metal. You will always have a following if you are in it for the right reasons. So much love for Jeff.
Jeff performance here is so tight it gives me chills! one of the most underrated shredders out there!
Lil wanta me dead n thw street. Revolting person.

i dont think the rest of the band were even born when this album came out
Jeff was 23 at the time
what a bunch of whiny little bitches the lot of you..
@Йукенжаьатулзвдуьеьпз Йгущкдпбуьцрыпышкзн LOL
I was 14...good year for Metal...Roadracer was killing it as a label...
@@stinkypinkeee5085 fucking oath. Roadracer was killing it, they gave us Sepultura Obituary Xentrix type o negative and heaps more bands I wonder what happened to em. Did they become roadrunner records cause sepo went to roadrunner
the drumming is excellent
i thought the same, he sounds perfect
@IDK DRC Yeah...... to stuck on his ridebell.
Yeah, tight as fuck!
Tight guy, for sure! I dislike the sound of the snare tho, very similar to the bass drum sound
Compared to the album, the drum sound is excellent - plus, it's rendered perfectly by stellar drumming!
This clean live is holy shit
This is the most Canadian frontman performance I've ever seen in my life, and goodness me the sound is absolutely amazing for a live set. The drums sound gorgeous.
This little drummer boy is killing it!
Tribute goes out of my late cousin who was an original singer of the band ❤️🙏🏻
Randy Rampage?
Dale Dunlap way back in the day
@@sutherlandpetty RIP Randy 🤘😎 I did see him one time live, what a man and voice!
Crowd: "______"
Jeff: "In hell."
They are singing actually, you just cant hear it because of instruments.
Some highly skilled musicians right there!
Great band, but lame ass crowd :(
Too be fair, this seemed like a pretty lame show.
MrVorion and what makes it worst is when you realise, this is wacken
stevesquatch(((&
TH-cam viewers aren't any less lame.
unfortunately, over the years, there were too many so called "event fans", like "hey you must be at wacken for once in a while" but they don't listen to metal. But that's a problem with all festivals, that there are always people who only want to drink a lot of alcohol and partying but don't care about the music.
2:25 eargasm \m/
They are playing well but the crowd is ridiculous
the ground is full of mudd you cant mosh pit in that
Listen i was there. It was 10am, you see 12 concerts a day for 3 days. I aint no spring chicken. You can't have same energy in these festivals....
Allison Hell not Allison in Hell
One L, not 2.
Zak Lee Lol got him!
Thats right
Thrash music in version
Lol. It's like their Raining blood off Reign in blood.
Might be the most underrated band of all time
0:52 best honeymoon ever
hahaha right on...they look happy
agree!!!
I am not a fan of this type of particular music but they are tight as hell. Great production also......Very good men.
Kudos to Jeff waters. Throughout all the lineup turmoil, he’s managed to keep the band as awesome as ever
This crowd has to be one of the worst I’ve seen.
Actually the crowd is quite active and amazing, but sadly Wacken recordings aren't capturing the crowd's sound, only the band. Listen to any recording from the festival, you can barely hear the audience in any of them.
Band is pretty bad to. Only one original member no vocal talent.
That's for sure
Is nobody gonna talk about how Jeff is doing the vocals and is still stupid tight?? Annihilator pretty much always had frontmen while Jeff was doing guitar work. This is insanely impressive
yeah, i clicked not knowing too much but i knew Jeff werent the frontman, but oh wow did he kill
Actually he is not a very good singer, more like average. But I guess he had no choice here, the bands lineup has never been stable which are sad, because with a guy like Jeff writing songs there is so much potential. But a stable lineup does always help, it also keeps spirit up. And Jeff is such an amazing guitarist, one of my all time favourites! And the fact he sings here and still plays as tight as usual is amazing. And for the same reason I respect Mustaine a lot.
@@TT.Hell.try to sing it, otherwise stfu
Yup Jeff doesn't want the band to die. Was not the vocalist then.. and not my favorite now hahaha.. still great guitarist.
That band is impressive and considering that it's practically all Jeff Waters' material and ideas is even more astonishing!
is that crowd really metalheads?
i think , they are too young to understand this =)..Stonewall!!
methheads.
Seeing those tools dancing in a circle in the mud,you'd wonder....look more like stoned hippies.....
nOpE
They are waiting for slayer to perform
excelente baterista!!!
lastima que se fue :'v
morreu???
Claudio muñoz Hay 2 Annihilator
Claudio muñoz q band ÷ edta?
Claudio muñoz q banda é essa?
what kind of audience is that??? come on people bang your heads and make a great pogo jajaja
RG Series ...at least three folks made the "devil "sign. ..
RG Series well... 3 days of music, And u see the line Up and see that annihilator is just another one
Wacken open air sometimes can be the best and worst audience of all time
Are you really stupid, do you not see how much mud it is there. Have you ever been to Wacken?
European audience, like zombies.
Крутейшая команда. Огромный жирный лайк ставлю! Очень качественная музыка, высочайший уровень игры
si ahuevo
This song is still awesome in 2019.
It will always be!
Still is even in 2024 trust me :)
Pure metal. Greatness.
Old school
Like Anvil😎🔥
Jeff should hire Ripper Owens. He is perfectly suit for Annihilator
으헝헝 that’s actually a great idea
I've thought that since the Roadrunner United performance. Annihilator would feel complete with Ripper.
So true.
오ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
he´s got too much ego for that
*if deadpool has a thrash metal band*
had*
Porque deadpool ?
eu acho qui é pq o kara lembra o wade wilson kkkkkkk o vocalista
@Sgt. Death canadian
@Sgt. Death The voice
Baita banda! Mereciam ter feito mais sucesso. Esse álbum é sem dúvida um Top 10 do Thrash
Jeff is a fantastic guitar player, frontman and song writer... Good to see him keeping the band going 🤘🏻
A única banda que me faz mudar de conceito artístico todos os dias!
Hail, Jeff Watters!
Wow, this sounds better than the original recording - excellent sound, especially the drums - wonder where this band are now?
That's the problems with Europe,,, So much Awesome bands there but the crowds are on pills, !!!! I see Annihilator in Vancouver ( Canada ) and that was Hell on this Festival,,,,
Jeff doesn't look older than early thirties! Rock on bro
Dude I love that high note on "ALISon hell
Words cannot describe how good Jeff & co. Are...mainly Jeff 🤟🤟
now that's a real front man right there wow, i love it
The crowd is making me cringe. This ain't Justin Bieber, THIS IS ANNIHILATOR!
I love the faces he makes while playing
I play guitar. I watch this video repeatedly just to listen to the drumming.
One of Megadeth's gold standards...
sorry i dont get it, what do you mean by megadeth?
Wtf are you talking about? Megadeth?
we miss Dave
No we don't, Dave was the worst thing that happened to this band
lol, he's right xD
No, you're a fucktard.
He was the second best singer Annihilator had.
Thy Huynh agree. Being able to play those rythms and sing at the same time? He was awesome at it. Jeff's voice here just isn't cutting it
Dav plz
Jeff Waters is soooo underrated. Criminally underrated. And from the interviews I've seen, he seems like a really cool guy too.
The sound is impressive, the drums are better than the original track. Miss Randy in the vocals. So nice to see Jeff and Annihilator still alive.
cannot help but notice the excellent live performance. Impressed!
I've been always impressed about the live sound of Annihilator, they sound great and really fresh, the tone is incredible like they're in the studio, great performance.
Did this crowd walk over from the Taylor Swift concert?
Great live track...shame audience didn't have a clue
4:50 HUGE metal pit...lol
What a perfect song from a perfect album!
During my era, every metalheads must love this tune or die!
This group sounds great...very tight
Been a guitar player for decades; I love metal and distortion, Annihilator riffs and Jeff Waters' six-string wizardry...
But a metal band without a decent drummer, at least a decent-sounding drum _kit,_ loses a lot of impact. The toms on this kit sound pretty great.
LETS HAVE A MUD WRESTLING MATCH WHILE ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER PLAYS.
They know they are the shit, they know they sound perfectly tuned, they know they have one best of a drummer and they know the boss is bloody Jeff Waters; so it's ok to be cocky.
0:00 somebody once told me the World is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed...
Great fuckin band
legends....fucking underrated as fuck....cheers from Malaysia...!!
***B*R*A*V*O*** ***🤘🤘🤘*** 4-7-2021.
In the crowd's defense, you need to be about 50 to know this kind of awesome. Luckily, I AM!!
Randy 🤘😎 Did sing classic song!
I was there, they indeed sounded very tight that day, I was so disapointed by the crowd though but we were standing in inches of mud.
Poor Band they deserved more noise and movement
This song's a bitch to play correctly on guitar. Fun as fuck though.
Bloodbath at 3: 33, or rather, mudbath xd
Does the crowd even listen to metal? thats fucking lame.. especially for wacken..
I don't know. The crowd in other countries is very stupid, don't enjoy the music like humans. In southamerica the crowd is so exciting, you can see Megadeth in Argentina or QuitoFest in Ecuador. Just check.
Dave Alejo because we Spanish people know how to rock or thrash bro!!
Brasilians also
. We (South americans) and japanese are the most excited fans in the World in metal
@An Opinionated Gamer i Hope so
Caro Senor Alejo, the explanation it's easy: LATINAS MAKE US BETTER!!! KKKK Brasileiras, Colombianas, Mexicanas...all of them!
Spoken like a true meathead. Not all of us here in LatAm derive pride from being mediocre and last in many world rankings, but having "lots of fucking energy".
Jeff Waters is a beast \m/ great sound
El publico de Europa frio como la merda -10.. viva el metal.!!!
John Cena has killer guitar ability. Never expected that.
Чёрт, никакой мазни, голое рубилово, они прекрасны!!!
Высекает от души, не то что некоторые рыбу чистят
Заметьте - никакого хлеба и куриных лап!
classy thrash.
great band. good job Mr waters... 👍

1:05 daaamn, I wouldn't want to spend all of a concert standing around in wet shoes D:
Greatest Crowd Ever haha

You fucking legend sir
when the sound guy does a good job
0:35 someone needs to put a stop to that mosh pit..it’s getting a bit out of hand.
Way too rowdy, someone could get hurt
i saw that shit and was astonished no one was brutally ripped asunder.
Who’s to say they weren’t? Back to the crypt!
This looks good didn't knew that Corey Taylor and Tom Araya formed a band lol
I miss randy rampage 😔
Name of the song is "Alison Hell". Not Alison in Hell.
Wow a live show that doesn't sound like shit 😳
essa música e um absurdo de perfeição
Amazing Jeff continues to be a driving force and making a living playing METAL. Cheers!
Fuck'n Jeff Waters can do it all!
3:31 esses cara é muito doido kkkkkkkkkkkkk
I would love to hear Megadeth cover this song, Cradle Of Filth has covered it.
