That's why I fight fire with fire
Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin'
Fire with fire
I don't want to lose this flamin' desire

![ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin' (Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ae829mFAGGE/mqdefault.jpg)
I used to rock this in my Z28. Man I would love to go back to those days snd do it all again.
Just seen them in concert, they still sound great
Agreed!
The music of the 80's is the best by far!! 💯
Absofuckinglutely!
I agree 100%
Definitely one of the best, but Journey is better. Their songs are still played today and I have yet to meet anyone from all different ages who doesn't know who Journey is.
The opening chugging riff is a killer and an absolute eargasm!
It's similar to ABBA - Does your mother know.
Yes it is by all means
Sure is😂
I love the Keys from the verse ❤
That because Rich Williams is one of the BEST rhythm guitarists ever. It's through all the Kansas catalog. This song just punches you with it for 4 minutes.
Something great about these 80’s songs having heart, soul and wisdom that aren’t heard today.
I agree. Today it's all negativity and bad attention/drama. The 80s forever!
This reminds me of my High School days back in the 80s before we had cable tv. They would show some videos on non cable TV like this one late on Friday nights, smoking some very marginal weed with friends. I live a clean sober Christian life now but I miss those simpler times and friends.
Make them your bucket list favorite.
Takes me back to driving hard top in my 67 Ford and blasting this song on my Realistic Equalizer and Stereo. Thanks for the great memories Kansas. You still Rock!
Heh, '66 Thunderbird driver here! Sky blue, convertible with the 428 and absolutely loaded with AC, power everything, and even tilt steering! It was the only thing my father left me and I still have it today! Of course, I had to have a modern sound system VERY carefully installed and this song is on my 80's mix CD. Drastic Measures was a great album!
Great memories from a time when I didn't have to keep an effing gun on me at all times!!
@@itsjustme8947 you both guys are legends. greetings from Ukraine!
@@alexsakva1949 Слава Україні! Героям слава! (I think I got that right, lol!) Keep up the good fight!
@@itsjustme8947Triumph's "Fight the Good Fight" should be allowed to be appropriated as a fight song for Ukraine... with the band's blessing of course. 🇺🇦💪
We Canadians are with you!
@@Driven2Beers I'm not over there....yet. I'm American and retired USAF. 🙂
This song really takes me back!! These were the good Ole days when Rock Music was at its very best!!
No question about that. The best music back in those days.
This song should get 600 000 000 views!!!!!!
Kansas the band Kansas the state it's a win-win
I was looking through my old Kansas City high school yearbook from 1972 and there was Kansas, pre national success, performing as a cover band for our homecoming dance.
That's awesome!
Luck S.O.B. JK lol Lucky you man
That's amazing!
Now thats very cool indeed. I bet they rocked it then too
lol...so cool. :)
Love this song! Seeing this video all of these years later makes me laugh. We all probably thought this video was awesome back in the MTV days. My favorite part is the silhouette of the man running. 🤣
Ah, Radio Shack! Always had to go there for connectors, wires, or some install stuff. Always good stuff on their walls. Kenwood AM/FM cassette with the AMS fast forward feature. Jensen 6 by 9s in the deck with 4 by 10s shoe horned in the doors of a 71 Mustang. Great times guys.
Kansas best song !! Killer vocals
Absolutely. Great music, vocals. Good upbeat rock.
You have no idea how dumb this statement is.
Seriously? It might be their most “pop song” ever, but not their best!!
Very good song but Dust in the wind was many many say the greatest song ever written by man.
John elefante has the best vocals out there!
John Elefante's voice is truly timeless! I had no idea he made a new album in 2022 and he sounds the same as he did in the 80's!!! The album is titled "The Amazing Grace". His voice is truly an amazing gift from God!!! Love it!!!💞
He’s a great vocalist no doubt and even though I liked the Kansas stuff from this era, Walsh was the sound that made Kansas to me.
Average 80's vocalist
I totally forgot this song. It was my favorite when I was younger. The vocals are so soulful and the harmonies are so dope. I wish I could sing BGVs with a classic rock band like Kansas.🎵🎤🎶💯
What a beautiful Rock Song !
What a GREAT riff. Proof that that a great riff does not need to be overly complex. It's perfect as is.
"Standing alone
In a crowded room
I can feel a chill in the air
I'm shakin'"
Fight Fire With Fire Is A Great Straight Up Killer Kick-Ass Song By KANSAS And Totally Rocks It Needs To Be Fully Cranked Up All The Way To Full Maximum Volume.
Awesome, despair destroying, hope giving, hold your head up song !!!!!!!!!
Outstanding driver of a song. This may be my favorite one by Kansas. Its got it all: riff, meaning,back beat that don't stop & that voice, wow! The melody and rhythm are so synchrinous and powerful that I've played it on repeat with headphones for 2 hours straight while working. Really takes me to a good place!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Got to love these 80s videos 🤘🖤
I thought the opening guitar riff to this song was the coolest ever when I first heard it back in the '80's. I still dig it. Kansas in prog mode will always be my favorite, though the band has never laid down a single song to tape that merits being ashamed. Whether the '74 - '80 "classic" years... the '82 - '88 "radio friendly" years... or the '90's to modern era of the band: Kansas has every reason to hold their head high. Fight Fire With Fire!
this is he song you blare in the parking lot, flipping the boss the bird as you just quit!!!!
Thank you, Kansas, for being part of my life when I was in the high school and after... You and some other awesome bands create my taste for music and made me the person who I am now. Love from Bulgaria!
I have been backstage with them twice and they are truly nice, down to earth guys. Amazing band!
I saw Kansas on this tour, they were co-headling w/Heart. If memory serves me correctly they blew heart away!
Great musicianship!
The start of gig the classical musicians came out onstage and started tuning up,
(See 'Drastic Measures' album cover) then a musician came out and sat right in the middle of the group, reached down and picked his instrument up off the ground...it was a bazooka! He blew it up into the sky scattering all the other musicians off stage & scarring most of the crowd. That's when Kansas launched into their set!
I can believe that!! Kansas musicians and singers were definitely top of the line👏👏👏👏👏
Saw them on that tour, too, at the Meadowlands in NJ. Heart should not have been the headliner. Kansas was way better.
@@bobpeterson1500 The switched off headlining on that tour.
Wow blast from past. Saw that Tour here in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena and agree they blew Heart away. And recall that crazy opening with the orchestra.
that forgotten year of 1984. I miss that era.
Larry Lambert me too... my first tock band.... and I just 16 years old....
This is actually 1983.
Yep it was 1983. i remember seeing this video on MTV in the summer of 1983.
I never forgot 1984
haha yeah man. I was a HS junior. Now, an aging, shift-working, meteorologist in his mid-50s. I liked both 70s and 80s band, well, most of them.
Badass song by a VERY underrated group! I am glad they never sold out!
+Brian Herlihy like so many bands of today
+Brian Herlihy I'm just thankful for the TV show Supernatural. If it hadn't been for that show, I'd never have found one of my favorite bands of all time.
+Giraffen Benji exactly supernatural got me into Kansas and it's one of the best things that's happened to me lol , I just got tickets to go see Kansas in New Jersey this coming Saturday , I'm so excited haha and I'm only 14 lol

It was the opposite for me. I found Supernatural because of Kansas. I watched Swan Song (Season 5 finale) with my sister, and I was immediately hooked. To be fair, Carry On Wayward Son deserves a lot of the credit. Today, Supernatural is probably my favorite show.
I have only 14 years and I love Kansas, whenever I hear it.
Do you play an instrument?
This was 4 years ago but you're still young, I hope you keep rocking to Kansas to this day (:
Bruh i live there
We saw Kansas two weeks ago. They were freakin' phenomenal. Completely blown away by how good they still sound. No special effects, no big theatrics, just 90 minutes of exceedingly talented musicians playing better than ANY of the popular crap today.
Love John Elefante's voice! Loved his solo work in the 90's. My favorites "Pass The Flame", "Eyes Of My Heart", "Exit 39" to name a few.
Yes!! Also favorites from John are “Corridors “ and “Not just any other Day”. Great Christian singer.I read he took part in the album project Robby Steinhardt just finished prior to his passing away last month. Prayers to the Steinhardt family.
Wasn't it Kerry Livgren ? I know he wrote the song
@@vigooden5990if you mean the vocal it’s Elefante
1 of the best songs ever...
One of the greatest rock songs songs ever made!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD
Kansas has many .
@@adamserafini6945 Agreed!
I saw Kansas three times in Dalina in the late 70s. Great shows and great music. They never got the respect they deserved.
Agree completely. Every one of their albums has a number of keeper songs. You could easily make a 4 cd box set covering all their work from their 1974 debut to 2016's The Prelude Implicit. Don't want to forget non album songs like Perfect Lover, Wheels and In Your Eyes.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS EVER ASSEMBLED,THE WORD GENIUS IS TOSSED AROUND ALOT IN THE 21ST CENTURY,BUT PERTAINING TO KANSAS, IT IS JUSTIFIED,NO MATTER WHO IS AT THE MIC,PREFER STEVE BUT THE BAND IS TUNED FOR PERFECTION,AS ALWAYS
GOD BLESS YOU! I am DVM/PHD Now sr. captain flight paramedic- I do not regret=God works it all together for good for HIS PEOPLE- but one bonehead I made-proving all good is by GOD'S GRACE not man's "smartness"- I passed up, in 1989 a 30 minute drive from auburn, alabama to meet kerry livegren on his farm in GA! Oh what
Agreed, They were great band back in the day. Saw them live in Chicago ( Poplar Creek) and they were fantastic. Walsh was quite the showman and vocalist. The band was tight and the sound guy actually knew what he was doing.
John Elefante has a great voice!
Petra
He’s good but I think Ronnie is a better fit for them. I did see John twice with the band. Great voice but not much of a stage presence in my opinion
He was the right choice after the original singer left. John quit because Kerry left. The band sued him to force him to stay.
Steve Walsh all day and twice on Sunday. Elefante was lost when it came to actual expression.
@@dansaunders52 At least John Elefante‘s voice at present is still strong and outstanding. His voice has stood up to Father Time very well. Always loved Steve Walsh and his presence with Kansas, but his voice , sadly, is now gone. Prayers go out to the Steinhardt’s on Robby’s recent passing.
There's a hole in the wall
With a light shining in
And it's letting me know to get up
It's time to begin
Oh there is nothing to lose
'Cause it's already lost
In a runaway world
Of confusion
I'm gonna take it
That's why I fight fire with fire
Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin'
Fire with fire
I don't want to lose this flamin' desire
Standing alone
In a crowded room
I can feel a chill in the air
I'm shakin'
I'm miles away
I want to cry out loud
I want to fight till the end
I won't let 'em take me alive
That's why I fight fire with fire
Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin'
Fire with fire
I don't want to lose this flamin' desire
Standing alone
In a crowded room
I can feel a chill in the air
I'm shakin'
And you know I'll fight fire with fire
Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin'
Fire with fire
'Cause I'm never gonna lose this flamin' desire
Fantastic song, fantastic band. The Elefantes brought something with some higher energy during their time...
It does not bother you that videos from this period do not feature John as the lead singer? John is a more like an extra and this blonde actor is made to look like the singer.
Earthly, human, mortal words CANNOT express or describe how uplifting and soul elevating this song is !! FJB Crank it up !!
Joe Biden: "Anybody who can throw coal in a furnace can learn to code, for God's sake!"
Agreed ! 👏👍
Agreed 👍💯
As a CHRISTIAN I forbid myself from regrets. But I do know had I been a Warrior for CHRIST not a new believer I had an invitation to go meet Cary livgren
This was one of last “secular “ songs Kansas made before obeying call to CHRISTIAN music
It is “undeniable “ they sang from their realization all human beings are stalked br zsatan and his weaker followers like zsata all once were in perfect Heaven but became arrogant and hated GOD and tried to kill God the obedient angels destroy This Heaven and ‘create better place for him and his followers
Their war on GOD FAILED AND having invested their perfection and fellowship with their very Creator no sacrifice by the demons or repenting was neither desired nor POSSIBLE
But Jesus Christ defeated him and was adequate sacrifice to bridge sinful seduced by satan wholly void 3:46 of followers 3:46 3:46 3:46 satan and legions of followers
That biden one cracked me up~!
Nostalgia... brings me back to riding in the back seat of a car full of us long hair high school kids. Loved those days!!
Great song. Miss the 80's.
Video is nuts but the song is the sort of thing when you are at work and have to focus. This is perfect for my shelf stacking at a supermarket, when the store is closed.
The video is amazing! Full of Archetypes and symbols. It's a man's fever dream.
This track rocks HARD! Love it.
When ones Soul Leaves its body and still wants to transmit the message.
My husband David loved Kansas it was his favorite band
I Love This Music Sadly Music Like This Doesn't Exist Anymore I'm So Glad That I Lived In The Era When Music Was Real & Good
Seen Kansas tonight in camdenton, mo.i want to personally thank the band for playing for us.there were absolutely amazing. I remember this song on mtv. If it wasn't for bands like this there would be no music today
nothing beats pioneers of rock in roll..carry on my wayward son!🤘🤘
You forget this band also wrote Dust in the wind that covers all ages and everything. This band gets the highest honors across the entire music community for that and many say the greatest composition ever written.
favorite kansas song
Average Consumer Mine too! Shame this doesn't get played much as "Carry on Wayward Son" or "Dust in the Wind".
totally
Average Consumer This one, Carry on wayward son, Dust in the wind, Play the game tonight and Perfect lover.
Hold on and Play the game are great too
Mine too.
I just love the song "Fight Fire With Fire" By Kansas ❤💕
Hi Connie,hope you’re okay ?
You would love "Fight Fire With Fire" by Metallica n.n
I was 2 years old when this song came out, I am 52 now and I am still rocking this song hard! I miss songs like this!
You couldn’t have been 2 yrs old, I am 53 and this song came out after 1980 as this video was played on MTV.
thats impossible.....
You mean 12, this song came out in 1983
This was released in 1983
Yep I’m 53 and I’m going to see them live! So excited. Can’t wait. Oh and I was 12. I think they just miss typed.
How could I have forgotten this song?
My favorite Kansas song.
Me too✨☺️✨
What a song!!!!!
The music industry needs to allow/assist artists like this who have real talent succeed. Music adds so much to culture.
John Elenfante's voice sublime!
THANKS JOHN ELEFANTE, FOR PICKING UP THE MIC AND TAKING KANSAS FORWARD,I MADE THE CONCERTS AND YOU ARE GENIUS ON THE MIC,you stand in no ones shadow brother
とにかくカッコいい歌🎵
Kansas〰︎✨🥰✨
I think ANY one would agree with me when I say....this song should have been on a Rocky Soundtrack.
Jeff Richards And it would’ve also been great for “Backdraft”.
Its like the epitome of everything that's Rocky oriented!
Why would everyone agree with that when the followup video, "Everybody's My Friend," is loaded with boxing ring footage?
Or karate kid......
Jeff Richards Awesome call!!!
Damn Kansas should really start marketing these beautiful pieces of work; Not many people actually know about this!
The reason is that the current members of the band and some, if not most of their fans, seem to like to 'forget' the Elefante era of the band. Drastic Measures and Vinyl Confessions are often maligned due to it not having the signature 'Kansas sound'. Personally I LOVE it but they are quite a few who don't. :)
Tungus Grump Well, were they not albums that didn't have Steve Walsh on them? I mean, being such a Walsh fan, if he's not on it, i'm not really interested. Not that these albums aren't great and they have some great stuff there, I just think he is such a draw for me. JMHO.....
Rich Green
Well you can blame Livgren for that. He became a born-again and decided he wanted his faith to shine through more in the band, so Walsh left.
Vyselink And I don't for a minute blame him. But Steve always loved the guy and admired him for his talent, they worked well together, and they overcame their differences over the years and are good friends today. It's funny, I have played with a ton of musicians and have had a few lose a propeller and go off to the religious side. I ended up playing some studio parts then played with a high production outfit. Then went live. That shit is actually well produced and musically powerful. I'm not a religious folk, but I would do it again. Peace brother!
Rich........Thanks for the commentary. I always thought that the Steve/Kerry thing was not about being Born Again or not, rather the musical output of the band itself and their different visions. True Christians never express hostility to those who have not accepted our Lord. Evangelism is sharing the good news of the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ. Unlike Judaism and Islam, Christians believe that there are many ways to share that good news with those who are willing to listen.
For anyone interested in this band-they were known for faithfully making their live performances sound just as good, if not better than their studio recordings. Symphonic elements and lots of time changes-progressive rock with a Midwest take. These guys put modern music to shame.
*Are known, they still do
Tom Servo that is a true story
Kansas ..they were...are..and always will be the the epitome of professionals
Like Styx, they did a great job blending hard rock with prog
epic song!
I bet you though this was metallica!
This is the most 80s thing in existence.
No, it can't beat 'Thriller' by M. Jackson.
Let's goooo 🎉❤
Almost 40 years it’s a kick ass song
Killer bass tabs!!!!!
This is one of the MOST incredible videos that I have ever seen! Even "back in the day" MTV never played it. They played their other hits but not this one. I found it on You Tube about a year ago.
No, MTV played this video throughout the early days.
Sure did. I loved seeing this on MTV back in the day! It was like “one for the good guys team”👆🏻
Yeah barker....sorry you missed it!!!
Kansas performed in my home town of Green Bay, Wisconsin when John Elefente was in the group. I got to see them in concert.
I just love the song "Fight Fire With Fire" By Kansas 💓💕💋
Hi Connie,hope you’re okay ?
John Elefante and his brothers would play alot of my high school dances and around where I lived.They were called Brotherhood.Mid seventies.Good ole days seventies
I love at the end, where he comes to and the band is just surrounding him like "hey good job, you made it!"
Fight fiya with fiyahhh!! Yeyeah! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Friday night video's!! Anyone else?
Yes!
A masterpiece.
This song gets me pumped up for their namesake basketball team. Listening now because we play the sweet 16 in less than an hour
Excelente !! La escuché por primera vez en una estación americana ...
I love the whole album...Drastic Measures
There's a hole in the wall
With a light shining in
And it's letting me know to get up
It's time to begin
Oh there is nothing to lose
'Cause it's already lost
In a runaway world

That's why I fight fire with fire
Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin'
Fire with fire
I don't want to lose this flamin' desire
Standing alone
In a crowded room
I can feel a chill in the air
I'm shakin'
I'm miles away
I want to cry out loud
I want to fight till the end
I won't let 'em take me alive" KANSAS
This song sounds EXACTLY like John & Dino Elefante’s Mastedon music, fricken awesome!!! I can also hear where the band Petra got their amazing sound after the Elefante bros started producing it. John Elefante’s solo albums are always on my playlist as well. GOD-GIVEN TALENT cannot go unnoticed.
this video was WAY ahead of its time. (for reference on how so, check out Honeymoon Suite's "Feel it Again" video from '86)
I just love the song "Fight Fire With Fire" by Kansas 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hannity uses this song for his radio show. He's got great taste
Ew 🤢... Thanks for ruining it for me.
One of the best Kansas songs
I saw Kansas a 3 times in Indy when I lived there. Never failed to Rock us. Maybe they won't ever know how "into our head's" they've gotten. I'm 68 and living proof. If you haven't, see "Miracles Out Of Nowhere." You won't be sorry!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
My favorite Kansas song of all time!!!
Was hatten wir damals für tolle Musik...Emotionen und Melodien pur....und heute??? Unsere Musik bleibt für immer
This is an EPIC Kansas song
Hi Jill,hope you’re okay ?
Yes it is!!
@@aminmalik4086 I concur!
If you think this is epic, you should hear some of they're earlier stuff.
Coolest video I've seen in a while!
listening to this with a high fever hits different man..
the most concerts i went to was this band .
Great song by kansas. Sadly underrated
Kansas is kansas !
This song peaked at #58 on Billboard in October 1983. "Hold on," also by Kansas, peaked at #40 in November 1980. Both awesome songs that should have charted much higher.
This song should have been a workout theme to a Rocky movie.
But the followup video 'Everybody's My Friend" is the one about a boxing ring's events.
This is one of my favorite, if not the favorite, tracks from Kansas. When I watched this video on MTV (I was around 12 at the time), the huge mosquito used to creep me out a little.
Alexander The Great It creeps me out today... a lot.
hbono1 LoL!
Ditto on the mosquito... very memorable
I remember first seeing this video on TBS Night Tracks back in Sep/Oct 1983
@@bobpeterson1123 I remember it on that specific show, too.😊
Top 10 Video back in its day!!
Great Song
GREAT !
Highly underrated song, but not to those of us who know!
Academy sports brought me here. Heard this at their store. How did I miss this in 83!?!?
