2:41 That little hitch in that riff is FUCKING RIGHTEOUS! This is how it's done, metal kiddies. Take your new/nu/noo metal and shove it, this is the SHIT!
WOW...….Metal Church is beyond all doubt one of the most underated heavy metal acts to ever come out period. They are a PURE POWERHOUSE & I love hearing them & they can hang in there with ANY of the best of em……. PERIOD . !!!!!!!!!!!!
Metal Church was my first metal show experience. If memory serves me correctly, it was in the 1990's in a club near Fort Hood, Texas. GREAT show on a small-ass stage. Around the same time I was seeing Queensryche down in Austin. What a great time to be a young metal fan.
UNDERRATED BAND :( metal church deserves better, they have to be playing on the biggest places.. I never understood why they never made it big... bad luck? bad managers?
They cane from nowhere...the band's early success was due to the songwriting, charisma, and voice of original vocalist David Wayne .He left or was booted from the band, and after an early stretch of success, they weren't able to sustain it as long as Queensryche did. Songwriting, styles, all that shit comes and goes.. you literally have to fall from the sky, kand in the perfect place, and have a bit luck thats not luck at all. If tiu sell your soul the money always runs long before the deal you made ends m. When your sell time soul its a temporary solution to an eternal problem.
I live in Seattle. Metal Church and Queensryche both came from local metal scenes in different cities and were self supporting from the beginning. In 1983 Queensryche,with the help of a local record shop owner, produced an EP which created lots of local interest that gradually spread nationwide and then internationally. Metal Church was like the blue collar metal band while Queensryche's talent and ambitions were far beyond the scope of the metal industry . Metal Church, more raw, more meat and potatoes..but both had a dark, new, edgy feel to them. Much like a young Guns and Roses did.Once you achieve stardom the passion, the desire, and the energy fade...you get tired of everything and the things that pushed you through to stardom are now working against you...and you want it all to go away ..but the Devil owns you for life and now out write shit music. Nobody likes anymore. So you commit suicide to escape this world but the.Devil.. He still owns you in this life and beyond...rock and roll is good, but at the same time it's shit, it's a curse you can't escape from..believe me
simple their best singer wayne died, mike great singer decided he didn't wanna do it then they had this guy with no stage presence take over , but mikes back now and its night and day from this to now
I'm 42 and always with METAL in my veins since I was 13 years old, Thanks for my first cassettes from Mercyfull Fate (Melissa) and Metal Church (Metal Church).And big hugs to all Heavy, Doom, Death-Metalheads on that all planet.
Yeah I know what you mean. I don't really like it actually. They only do it in the 2nd verse for some reason. I think its better when they keep peddling the E note.
When my children ask me what Heavy Metal is the first thing I am going to do is put this video on them, Ronnie Munroe great speaker Metal Church FOREVER !!!!!
I have worn out the first two "David Wayne releases" of that gorgeous outfit (;-)). They were brilliant. Meanwhile everybody from the original line up has been replaced except Kurd Vanderhoof (the bold guy). But they all do good jobs. It's a very convincing version of this anthem and the singer (.... Munroe) is great! And yes...now Mike How is back...dunno why...this guy here sounds great...no need to replace him. Hail to the glorious metal churchers...one of my mideighties heroes....by the wayTHEY WERE ALWAYS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN METALLICA who's juices ran dry 15 years ago.
huk38 , yes sir! Everything you say is "spot on". Even the part about Metallica! I'm 52 an watched Metallica go south. A long time ago. And like you, MC was definitely my favorite metal band in the mid 80,s. And still today. Much respect!
I saw these guys in the 80s in salt lake in a small venue under the under pass at 5th east can't remember the club you could take booze in and they would keep it cold for you the bands would come and have a drink with you the line up was metal church violent play ground I stood 5 ft from these k guys they were the original band so cool
When it comes to an album being classified OVERALL best to hit god's green earth, Factors come into play.. and that is to grab you by the FK'n throat evenly all the way through for eternity & to never let go,, Granting you God Giveth sound none other can match!!.. i give u metal church metal church !!
Is that Kirk Arrington on drums? I'm thinking it is. Sounds like him. The ORIGINAL drummer from the first 3 releases. Metal Church 1984, The Dark 1986 and Blessing in Disguise 1988. And now in 2014 it appears to me that Kurdt Vanderhoof let him back into the band. Can anybody clarify? Because I thought that Kirk was long gone. Along with Craig Wells and the original bass player. But it appears that Kirk Arrington is back. For this gig anyways.
One of the best riffs of ALL time
No, Iommi and Andy LaRoque got them ;)
the better of all times for me, are a Take Their lives, Of kreator
Nobody touches this riff! Not even LaRoque,Iommi... This is iconic!
This and beyond the black destroy everything in it's path. \m/
Totally! Been listening to these guys since I was a teenager. I'm now 50. Never new about Mike's passing till a month ago.
Right!
Metal Church - they deserved a larger audience
No fireworks, no makeup, non marketing banners, JUST BLOODY HEAVY METAL without pretentions!
True.
The best
True
Why is old Metal so darn fun... haha... bring it
Right On Brother 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Best Album Metal Church!!!! an album I played over and over!!!! In my 50s and it's still in my top 20 of metal!!!!
54 and listen to them everyday. No matter who the lead singer was, they killed it!!!!! Mike Howe was my favorite RIP
The 1980's were a Magical time for Heavy Metal. Goosebumps just Vibing this Killer Song by my Favorite Church.💯🤘🤘🤘🤘😎
omg... i was 13 years old when i bought this album...... these were my metallica,slayer, exodus, merciful fate days
I remember going to their practice when they were called Shrapnel
different lineup
@@bongeggsthe Bay Area was off the hook in those days. Exciting times back then and a great place to be, not so much these days.
Ronnie Munroe most underated front man
He is also a great performer in Trans Siberian Orchestra
Fully agree! Ronnie was beside Wayne probably the best MC Singer.
One of the best metal songs ever made!!

+Mika Siitonen YES AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

saw them in pittsburgh last friday and they killed it! a criminally underrated band!!!
UNREAL! These guys are rockin' it EXACTLY like they did 30 years ago. Blown away!
The original 1981 line up was the best Metal Church In my opinion. There is only 1 original member left Kurdt Vanderhoof.
46 and STILL going to Church..!!! \m/
+Icellama Allen 47 and stil goin to Church
+Icellama Allen 49, I'm with ya my friend! One of the most criminally underrated bands ever.
+Guy Fawkes These guys have no right to sound this good still.
47
Still going

Its the ANVIL curse , The bullseye is hard to hit in the industry for all , many more bands deserve to have more recognition .
simple their best singer wayne died, mike great singer decided he didn't wanna do it then they had this guy with no stage presence take over , but mikes back now and its night and day from this to now
I saw them in Lubbock Tx last night and it was one of my best shows ever! Been a fan since I was 12-13 yrs old....In 45 now!
Kurdt's face on 0:48 is priceless !!!!! Can't get tired of looking at it.
No Pyro,no distracting video screens, no smoke , Just Metal !!!!
I'm 42 and always with METAL in my veins since I was 13 years old, Thanks for my first cassettes from Mercyfull Fate (Melissa) and Metal Church (Metal Church).And big hugs to all Heavy, Doom, Death-Metalheads on that all planet.
When my grand kids ask me "what's heavy metal"?, I'm going to make them memorize these lyrics and watch this video thousands of times.
Peter - I saw Metal Church a couple of nights ago, and your very thought went through my head as well.
Peter Bilt dude my favorite metal bands are slayer,metal church,Metallica and Black Sabbath
Oh my!...lots of memories with this band back on school days!!... great song and album!, didn't kwon they still performing...awesome!
One of the HEAVIEST metal songs ever written .... amazing band !!!!!
Sometimes we all forget how great Metal Church was. That's all on us,baby!
that last sustained singing note....to die for.
the sudden "STOPS" in the rhythm really blew me away.
Yeah I know what you mean. I don't really like it actually. They only do it in the 2nd verse for some reason. I think its better when they keep peddling the E note.
My favorite album by this awesome band is their 1989 offering : "Blessing in Disguise" & I love everything this band ever did PERIOD . !!!!!!!!!
When my children ask me what Heavy Metal is the first thing I am going to do is put this video on them, Ronnie Munroe great speaker Metal Church FOREVER !!!!!
One of my favorite Metal Church songs. Awesome vid.

+morris2112
Thank you. Sorry it took me two years to see your comment.
A hidden gem on the world stage. An unforgettable song in my world!
A band I found too late in life. Blessing in disguise is such a great album!
These guys been rocking this since I was in high school . Class of 1990. Metal Church Forever.

Thank you for the uploading sir

GREATEST METAL SONG EVER WRITTEN.
something about that riff...cant get enuff \mm/
the sound track of my life .one of the best bands ever.
That riff never gets old 🤘
What a masterpiece of a song!
Metal Church Forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for uploading this!! Love it!
Wow I can't believe this was 3 years ago!!! :o
Hello, brother.
um i've said it before and i'll say it again! THE ORIGINAL "SEATTLE BAND"!
Super! Thanks! 🤟🤠💥🌟
Love the drums
They are and still are metal at its best
Good sound, line up and vocals. Rock on!
Fantastic song... Fantastic Band... Ave Metal Church...
Probably my favorite song by Metal Church. I wish I could attend this church! Lol
EXCELLENT! Thank you!
I saw Metal Church open for both Metallica and Anthrax in large auditoriums. It's depressing to see them in this setting.
I remember covering this song as a teenager blew people's minds that 15 year old kids could play it back in the late 80s.with limited equipment.
Hell yeah ! God I miss those days.
wow! this is even better than the album version! like the additional screams :)
I beg to differ. No matter how good they were, none of their latter rythm sections matched Duke and Kirk
BEAUTIFUL ... SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!
The drummer should be on a riser . Badass !
The only church I go to and pray to the metal gods,Forevermore!!
So great!
They still got it!
I saw these guys in the 80s in salt lake in a small venue under the under pass at 5th east can't remember the club you could take booze in and they would keep it cold for you the bands would come and have a drink with you the line up was metal church violent play ground I stood 5 ft from these k guys they were the original band so cool
awesome track & band ! \m/
This is at Trees in Dallas. Great venue........
Best metal voice ever
I'd love to see Tom Hunting drumming on this tune live!
Fala Tiozão!
Es un tema magnifico, es una cancion grande entre las grandes!!! 1.000%metal
What Parish do I attend? What a silly question, You know it's the Metal Church!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘😎
Awesome!
Now this is fucking metal \m/
One of the best Songs ever written
In my opinion this song alone beats Metallica's Kill Em All. It's just that good.
Awesome intro "I'm gna take you to church" haha
If you didn't know, this is what HEAVY METAL is like!
It sounded as Great as the original recording!!! Great Band!!!
Metal Church супер метал банда, жаль недооцененная! Особенно альбом 1989 года
Great band. One of the true metal bands
My God I have to go and see these guys kurt the new singer rules…
Perfect Singer for that song!
This, folk, is how you do it right.
Time to pray!Crank,that mother fucker up!
I love Metal Church! RAW!
