Highly underrated, great southern rock band saw them open for joe walsh. They pretty much stole the show. That voice is awesome, and the drums are just heavy and full. ROCK ON!
The current "classic rock" radio format is killing rock music IMHO. They keep playing 35-55 year old songs over and over. Not letting in the new guys, the " hip hop fixation" has ruined music. Even country!
definitely in my top 5 fav. CD's along with their first CD and badlands voodoo highway cd. This song lives forever in my mind! Got lucky enough to see them live in Indianapolis, 1990 I think.
Great band and great song! Wild America is actually hard to find these days which is a shame because it is their best album. They have a new one coming out in 2019.
Just telling a musician when I loved in Sarnia Ontario we'd go to Detroit for concerts. I saw Warrant, Lynch Mob and Tora Tora at the Fox Theatre. Great show! I Love this song!
Another kick ass CD I rocked out ( and still do ) back in '92. Always the true loyal fan to hard rock/ metal ( grunge & hip-hop can go lick dirty horse balls ). In a nutshell my attitude back then ( and still is ), long live true rock!!!
That's true. I was born in 1982, but my brothers who were much older than me were teenagers / early-20's when this music was out and they introduced me to it when I was 16, although i'd seen a few bands on the tv when I was young, like Skid Row, W.A.S.P. Aerosmith, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Megadeth, Def Leppard, Ugly Kid Joe, Pearl Jam, Mr. Big, Nirvana etc etc. 1st band I got into at the age of 2 or 3 was AC/DC, cos my brother played it on his turntable a lot, LOL.
love this band I had the pleasure of seeing them last year with Every Mother's Nightmare and Shotgun Billy's with Zach Myers in Memphis a benefit for Tora Tora one them has cancer They all rocked house🎶👊🤘
Good lord this nostalgic to me! I so remember going up that spiral at the downtown Goldsmith's when I was a little kid! My mother or grandmother would take me shopping!
i was in the 9th grade and i was reading an article in the greatest hard rock magazine ever which was RIP, and they were talking about tora tora and we all were digging the fuck of them,along with danger danger,tangier,southgang,wrathchild america,junkyard,ect. the good 'ol days! wow!
@@majickalbeing There is music that's only about sadness, nihilism and depression and I don't think that's good for an healthy relationship with your neighbor.
@@majickalbeing I used to be a bartender too! :-D And I always played happy music, I had enough cryin' ladies betrayed by their partners so I didn't want to add fuel to the fire! I agree on what you said, music is an universal force but I had to make a distinction, a clarification. As for the neighbor part, it wasn't meant to be read word by word. It's neighbor as in "Love your neighbor like you love yourself". :-)
Judas Grunge was a juggernaut that killed the prospects of many bands who were trying to do something else. (I always lament the indifference shown to Jellyfish, who were musically amazing, but just not fashionable at that time.)
It's just too bad that this couldn't have existed alondside grunge. Never understood why it has to be flavor of the month in this country. Lived in Germany through the 90's, and everything as far as genres and sub-genres were alive and healthy. People there don't allow some arbitrary entity of the music biz to dictate what they should be listening to. I guarantee that 80's metal still has a healthy scene there. Thank god NWOTHM is maki g a comeback here
Just imagine grunge never happened back in 90s. New bands like Tora Tora thrived. Anthony Corder easily an Axl Rose of 90s. But Guns N'Roses ceased to exist anyway, grunge or no grunge.
Why are so many still hating on grunge? Early Alice in Chains and Soundgarden isn't too different from this. Even Mother Love Bone, the band that spawned Pearl Jam, is a lot like this. So, by hating on grunge you're really just showing your own ignorance and insecurity that's been lingering for a very long time now. Get over it. You don't see people who were into alternative posting, yeah those boy bands of the 2000s don't rock like this. No one cares. And get out of your comfort zone for christ's sake. What year is this?
One of my favourite albums ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Saw Tora Tora on this tour with T-Ride opening in Tampa. Great show!!!! Tora Tora is such a great band.
Highly underrated, great southern rock band saw them open for joe walsh. They pretty much stole the show. That voice is awesome, and the drums are just heavy and full. ROCK ON!
I imagine they have to be one those bands, that when they open, the "headliner" is watching them thinking, fuck, fuck, fuck, I gotta follow that
One of those "end of the era" bands, an interesting time.
Memphis born and raised! Love this band!
This was i reckon their best album, would love to hear more from jackyl too
SO BLUESY and great guitar sound and vocals.
I miss a lot, bands like Tora Tora!! 2019
Hey CWO, really Thank you bro!! What a musical selection... I knew all groups less Sweet Cheater, & what a wonder.. Thank you than you man!!
White Lion, Mr. Big, XYZ……. The list goes on and on for underrated bands that were good

Going out to see these guys put on a show at The Strand Theater in Hudson Falls, NY Tonight. So Ready!!!
They still rock!! 🤘🏼😝
I was there that day!!! : )
Wild America is definitely in my top 5 albums of all time. Great band. Totally timeless.
Saw these guys on City Island Harrisburg Pa. Took 1 concert and I was hooked. Daughter was born in 92 huge fan also.
definitely in my top 5 fav. CD's along with their first CD and badlands voodoo highway cd. This song lives forever in my mind! Got lucky enough to see them live in Indianapolis, 1990 I think.
Love the mention of Badlands also!
Saw them back in '89 open up for L.A Guns in Anaheim. Kicked ass!
The 80's were my decade.....why haven't I heard of this band much before then?? They're awesome!!
Maybe because this is 1992 😉
These guys sound good together. No one out plays the other, all kick ass musicians!! Love this CD.
Great band and great song! Wild America is actually hard to find these days which is a shame because it is their best album. They have a new one coming out in 2019.
Just telling a musician when I loved in Sarnia Ontario we'd go to Detroit for concerts. I saw Warrant, Lynch Mob and Tora Tora at the Fox Theatre. Great show! I Love this song!
That must have been an awesome show!
I've seen Lynch Mob a few times and they are incredible live as well... ✌🏼
Living in Memphis during their heyday, I freakin LOVED this band!
So underrated, I saw them live at Hammerjack's in Baltimore, Maryland
Fuck, I miss this kind of music.
Dude has pipes. I remember when this dropped. Memphis had some GREAT bands.
Such a great band. Saw them live 3x in the 80s/90s :-)
Another kick ass CD I rocked out ( and still do ) back in '92. Always the true loyal fan to hard rock/ metal ( grunge & hip-hop can go lick dirty horse balls ). In a nutshell my attitude back then ( and still is ), long live true rock!!!
grunge is cool
Memphis soul! Yes amazing and unique voice!
A buddy introduced me to these guys way back in the day and I still love their sound just as much as I did the first time
Totally awesome guys.
Excellent!
Woohoo!! I LOVE this band!
Wow haven’t heard this song since 1992
Fantastic Tune. Love this !

Saw these guys in Indy at a metal club called Head Bangerz, they were awsome. It was right after this album came out.
Newbys freakin rocked in 2008....I video'd a couple songs..

Tora Tora were victims of Nirvana . A nice band that got "Grunged" and would be huge if they came out a year earlier.

Should have been written to Amber Turd
You just keep forgetting to remember all your lies
Can someone PLEASE explain why this wasn't a bigger hit???
🤔
Grunge was right around the corner, and record labels didn't really support southern hard rock bands back then.
Phantom Rider is pretty good too. They could have been big if it hadnt been for grunge.
Judas Grunge was a juggernaut that killed the prospects of many bands who were trying to do something else. (I always lament the indifference shown to Jellyfish, who were musically amazing, but just not fashionable at that time.)
+Judas And their attorney and management and the other people who fucked them over.
