RIP the three members of Metal Church David Wayne (January 1, 1958 - May 10, 2005), aged 47 Kirk Arrington (January 23, 1962 - May 22, 2023), aged 61 Mike Howe (August 21, 1965 - July 26, 2021), aged 55 You will be remembered as legends.
I saved lawn mowing money when I was 8 yrs old. I bought a compilation tape called "Slave to the metal". This was one of the songs. It was my favorite off it. I saved more money mowing. I bought their album. I was happy.
I remember when your band walked into the house and I was the one who gave all of you your first hit of acid!!! I hope you’re all doing okay now and I am sorry for the loss of your lead vocals. You were a great band that I grew up knowing you all. The house was in Yakima and I was one of the women who helped plan the party and the spody and other things that we enjoyed back then!!
Born in 1975 and I just discovered this band 2 videos ago. Been a metal head since about '88. I'm so grateful to find new old influential metal even today, 16 Feb 2021.
I'm a 75 born been listening to them since I was 9 and my ma was constantly checking out what I was listening too. It's corny Kidd joke but when I was asked what is a Metal Church? I kinda threw a curve ball and said a church for robots. Well it wasn't returned. Oh yeah It was the Dark. I had Slayer blasting in the morning getting ready for school and I figured if u have questions about my music, I would start there.
Im 57 and been into Metal from age 11. I can honestly say "The Dark" is my all time favourite album🤘🤘 Really loved David Wayne and Mike Howe phenomenal singer's, cannot say one was better than the other as Mikes albums with Metal Church were brilliant too🤘♥️ Both sadly gone far too soon😔 Rest In Peace David and Mike and Kirk🤘🤘🙏🙏♥️♥️
One of the darkest songs in Metal ever. Unbelievable. When the riff kicks in for the first time at 1:18, the darkness opens up. And the way David Wayne sings here is a revelation. Metallica's “One” is brutal. Metal Church's “Watch the children pray” is pure darkness.
Yep. Taped Headbangers Ball every week on VHS. On one of the tapes it had this song followed by Warlock Fight for Rock. Every time I hear this I wait for Warlock to kick in right after. Man those we’re good days
I remember being about 11 years old and seeing this on Headbanger's Ball every weekend. Metal Church was at the top of their game and headlining gigs with Metallica opening for them.
My first time seeing Metal Church live was when they opened for Metallica on the Master of Puppets tour, in Nurnberg Germany. Been a fan ever since. The true metal of the 80's isn't about the big hair and glam crap in LA. Hardcore fans remember the music that came out of the Bay Area of SF. Bands like Slayer, Exodus, Testament, Megadeth, Metal Church and Metallica were just a few of the pioneers of today's metal. Never forget your roots. Embrace the pioneers.
I love the entire album Metal Church, The Dark, which includes this song. David Wayne did a great job with the erie vocals on this song. Truly the most underrated metal vocalist and the most underrated band in metal history. RIP David Wayne and RIP vocalist Mike Howe who recorded on later Metal Church albums. We miss you.
Lyrics In a darkened graveyard glows a light. I see it shine there every night. I know somewhere there's a hidden door. There's an answer here we must explore. No, I'll not submit to reason. I'll sit and watch the seasons change. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. We hold our fate and make the choice, But we'll not listen to that still small voice. Are we just crazy, out of our minds? Wish this were someplace, another time. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. And I know we're going So far away from this wretched life we lead. With open arms meet catastrophe, In the valley of the damned we'll be. And I know we're going So far away from this wretched life we lead. With open arms meet catastrophe, In the valley of the damned we'll be. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. And now to life we say goodbye. I know the when but not the why. Our nation's blood spills on the ground. Our lives go out without a sound.
One of the greatest pure METAL bands ever. David Wayne was in my opinion, the best singer in metal at that time. Another band that should have been huge. They were so much better than anyone else at the time.
The power a song has is just mind blowing! I used to listen to this when I was a teenager playing air guitar and doing my make believe vocals. F'n intense how the memories just flow into my mind. Long Live Rock & Roll /Metal.

The "DARK " is one of the best metal albums life has given us. Listen to this album. Metal church made a dent in the metal scene but are a underrated by far
"Metal church" and "The Dark" are some of the best albums I've heard. And I agree with you on that last part, it is so underated it's insane! I keep telling my friends to listen to this album and they agree to do so but they never actually do it.
Agreed, M/C did not get the recognition they deserved, their 1st and 2nd LPs both burn start to finish and are my 2 fave thrash metal LPs above anything Metallica/Megadeth/Anthrax/Slayer offered up. Metal Church were something else, their songs were so filled w/killer hooks/songwriting and ensemble playing. I did not like anything they did after, I did not like Mike Howe.
This awesome song deserved a proper music video. It was one of the great “ballad” type Metal tracks of the 80s. Something creepy AF, like children of the corn vibes and a small church to match the song’s theme.
Great Song! the true Dark Metal and the gifted voice of David Wayne ( RiP ) a truly master piece from 1986.. " And now to life we say goodbye I know the when but not the why Our nation's blood spills on the ground Our lives go out without a soundWe watch The children Pray"
I was a kid outside Detroit back in the 1980s. I was riding home from a N.A. meeting and was like 14 or 15. My father made me go but at that time drugs and heavy metal were my life. I heard this song on WRIF 101 FM as a hit or miss song. The screams blew me away. This band was and is what the heart of metal is. Live it and die it.
I remember seeing this video in the 80s (probably on Mick Walls sky show) and it completely blew me away. I am happy there is a youtube simply because I see this video again.
Me and my brother went to their concert back in '87 in Holland. Metal Church was opening for Anthrax and Metallica. We imagined David could never sing as high as on the album tracks, pure pleasant surprise he went even higher and their songs were solid as rock, best act of the day for many that day! R.I.P. David and Mike
David Wayne gone way too soon...I can just imagine how his music would have progressed with time...I think he was just scratching the surface with this song...his style and approach to music hadn't reached his full potential....example look at Judas Priest. Look how their music started and matured to their last album... David Wayne was just starting....gone way too soon .not to mention a super cool person. just by chance, I had met him in Houston and did not realize at that time who he was... even though it was just for a brief moment, I will never forget it... amazing, super cool...Greatly appreciate the music he left us..God Bless RIP 🙏
Fantastic song, but come on, you can't metal history it! I'll be honest, and again, it's a fantastic song, but it's not even the best one on this same album. Go listen to "Method to your madness". By the way. What's that logo next to your name with a chicken spreading its wings? Kind of looks like a football, [soccer] badge.
helder lopes Yeah, I do know that. Just toying with you. Listen, FC Porto strangely collapsed and Sporting Lisbon's inexperience hurt them, and now they lost their coach, but Benfica had a good season and deserved the title, but they're not anywhere close to being 5th best in Europe! Real Madrid, Atl. Madrid, Barcelona, B. Munich, B. Dortmund, PSG, M. City,Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Juventus. I haven't named them all, but there's ten for you! I know you want them to be top 5 or 10, but lose the colors for a second and be honest with yourself.
Michael Gretzky and Benfica has 10 european finals and 34 appearances in the Champions League. Chelsea??? wtf is that??? just a club with lots of money..... and yes, in the last five years Benfica is one of the best team in the european competitions.....
Favorite bands as the psycho youth I was: Exodus, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metal Church, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Lita Ford, Motley Crue, AC/DC and Queensryche.
I was at work on 9 11and this song was playing when the second plane hit forever in my life the two will be linked ..and on a side note one of the most underrated bands ever
Wow... It's my 57th BD and was thinking back on the good old days. My Walk man walking miles with this Great Group playing in my ears! Lost track of them for decades. Thought I'd look them up today and listen... Great memories, what an under rated great group this was!
This is how I remember 'METAL CHURCH", I miss you Dave, thanxs for the memories, from Kent behind the bar , in the ol' apartment, your bro, DC went to my sister's wedding with Jon Nugent, they r divorced now, Hey miss you man, u r always on my mind, luv ya, & still love the METAL CHURCH!!!!!!!
I super love this piece of art, this song made me become the musician I am, not famous at aLL, but I'm super happy of my skills... thanks METAL CHURCH!!! LOVE YOU FOREVER, YOU HAVE BECOME PART OF MY LIFE..... SO PROUD TO SAY THIS SO F.. PROUD!!!!!
The badass thing is that I wasn't even born when this came out...thanks to my dad I listen to METAL CHURCH, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, SLAYER, METALLICA....thanks pops!!
I met these guys in the 80's at a club they were playing in Raleigh NC. They rocked the house! They were so much fun to hang out with! Coolest group of dudes and down to earth! It was an Epic night! So happy we took pictures that evening! I treasure them!
I've just recently been browsing TH-cam and I thank the almighty gods of metal for it. I have found so much classic metal and videos that I've grown up with and still love. This band has always been one of my favorites from when I was a teenager in the 80s, even until now.
I wish there were more classic videos of metal church. Blessing in disguise and human factor put out some good videos. Wayne's Metal Church us a freaking masterpiece but not one video
Can't figure out why people squabble between Wayne and Howe when they are so similar, and similarly awesome. Most bands don't get lucky enough to have two great singers.
aldersmoke1 I agree. Few people's voices age as well as Mike Howe's has. The only others I can think of are Lizzy Borden, Michael Kiske and Neil Turbin
Anyways, the thing with that, is Howe was in Heretic, then joined Metal Church, and Wayne was in Metal Church and joined Heretic. The two switched bands.
Haven't heard this in forever..I met these guys w/Anthrax at an autograph signing party,they signed my purse(it was pink)..my stupid mom threw it out! Song still gives me chills..alot of memories from ''the good ol' dayz''..oh,well,I'll forever be a metalhead!!!!!!! ROCK ON! \m/
metallicatlaura - I’ve been to lots of great shows - but the Metal shows back in the 80’s were hands down some of *_THE_* best and most memorable! Glad I was born in 1970... ‘cuz the 80’s were a great time for creativity in general! 🤘🏼
Man, I saw this Metal Church lineup at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA in 1985. The bands were Slayer, Overkill, Metal Church, D.R.I. and Bl’ast! I probably paid $12 for the ticket! Great show! Metal Church kicked ass!
Anyone else listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
Yes!
Yeah ; me.
Hell Yassss!!!🤘❤️🔥🤘
Right here at 54 years old. Hell yeah.
@@stevenmount7939 me too! Will be 55 9/19
RIP the three members of Metal Church
David Wayne (January 1, 1958 - May 10, 2005), aged 47
Kirk Arrington (January 23, 1962 - May 22, 2023), aged 61
Mike Howe (August 21, 1965 - July 26, 2021), aged 55
You will be remembered as legends.
Incredibly sad. Both were incredible talents.
absolutly r.i.p.
Never caught a show, something always messed it up...they're my favorite metal band
Yes, Sir.
Don't forget REVEREND.
I love this song. A lot of people say that this singer doesn't have a good voice. They obviously dont know what they are talking about.
I think it adds that touch to the song
Brian Ott , he does have a good voice,
Who said that lemme at em
I thing is awesome one off the greatest band open up too catastrophic and valleys of the Dead will be
Brian Ott , those arseholes have no knowledge of Music, they must be justin boober fans
I love how this singer can scream in tune. Epic, legendary song.
David Wayne was a legend
They don't make em like they use to, eeeeeyyyyyaaaahhhhh!!!!!
This song is HEAVEN to me, a metal loving metal child of the 80's.
Listen to zed yago band .black bone song similar type of slow heavy
Me too! My first concert I was 4 it was Ratt, Poison, and Loudness. I used to love Loudness as an asian kid it was inspiring.
@Kracka Khan Totally
HEAVY FUCKN METAL! \m/
How is it possible not to love this song???????One of the best metal song of the 80's!
***** super
Duck me i love this shit use to play it all the time love 80s have on viny
Also heathen set me free what a classic 👍🕺
Not everyone like, i m not crazy about this song either, some too gloomy and melancolic in my taste
Band have much better songs, like start the fire and the dark and burial at sea
R.I.P David Wayne, one of a greatest heavy metal Singer ever.
You said that right Andre Adonis!!!
David Wayne ( Rip) Mike Howe( RIP) Both Put Metal Church at.the Top of The Melodic Thrash/ or.Progressive Thrash World.🙏🙏🤘🤘
@@MasaM-c2c GFYSA
@@MasaM-c2c You spelled "HELL YEAH!!!" wrong, ya goof. Very few can sing like him and he has a great voice! R.I.P. to him and Mike Howe. 🕊️
David wayne isn't greatest
As a black man who jams metal. One of the best!!!
Did you have to add your B ? Im persian, so what!
This song will never never get old
Still kicks ass
Yes it is!
Yes definitely
And it will always kick ass
One of the best Metal songs of all time
I saved lawn mowing money when I was 8 yrs old. I bought a compilation tape called "Slave to the metal". This was one of the songs. It was my favorite off it. I saved more money mowing. I bought their album. I was happy.
Then came the tragic lawn more accident. R.I.P.
Andrew Russo I still have that tape!
Andrew Russo rock n roll my friend, hell yeah!
Hard work truly pays off.
and in the 2000's he saved up for a laptop...he never mowed a lawn again. expect for a new pc now and then
Still listening to this great band in 2024. What a performance back in the years and live as well
Metal masterpiece. There’s not many metal songs give me goosebumps. This does . Long live great R’n’R 🎸👍😊
There is a lot
Because of Dave’s vocals, I became a vocalist!!! Very unique voice, same with a ton of other singers! Their music still stands the test of time!!
I’m 17 again smoking dope banging my head , oh wait I’m 49 still smokin and still a metal head 🤘🏻
51 brother... Long live metal...
So we're all 51 now. Cool. Saw them opening for Metallica back in '87. :)
You old bastards..im 45...lol..
50 here but listening to this album makes me feel like i'm back in 1986. Much better days.
This is one of my favorite songs. Man do I like his voice, so underrated
I remember when your band walked into the house and I was the one who gave all of you your first hit of acid!!! I hope you’re all doing okay now and I am sorry for the loss of your lead vocals. You were a great band that I grew up knowing you all. The house was in Yakima and I was one of the women who helped plan the party and the spody and other things that we enjoyed back then!!
RIP Goodbye ex member of Metal Church, Mr. Bobby Joe Pool. You'll be missed.
This is such an amazing album. I bought it new in '86 and it's STILL in rotation on my playlists.
David Wayne had that powerful demonic, erie, intense voice that NOBODY will ever duplicate!!! He is Truly Missed!!!
Demonic?🤔 no at all
@@MasaM-c2c It's just a figure of speech and only pertain's to how he could make those higher pitched screams sound!
King Diamond sounds demonic but I get what you're saying. Wayne was a great vocalist
He did have a great voice….I loved the brave on the Metal years and Metal massacre
@@shawnboogz7546 You said that right !!! and mike Howe had a good voice for metal church but sadly he has passed away at 55 years old. So Tragic!!!!!
Born in 1975 and I just discovered this band 2 videos ago. Been a metal head since about '88. I'm so grateful to find new old influential metal even today, 16 Feb 2021.
Keep looking you will find more Enjoy my Metal head friend 😁🤘🏻
I'm a 75 born been listening to them since I was 9 and my ma was constantly checking out what I was listening too. It's corny Kidd joke but when I was asked what is a Metal Church?

Yes sir I was there in the 80s
The last scream is AMAZING
This is one of anthem metal songs that never gets old. I jammed this at 14 and still jamming this at 48. This is the only church I will attend. \m/
In the span of 1 year , I saw Metal Church , Metallica, and Anthrax . Don’t know how these guys didn’t blow up.
David Wayne will always be Metal...RIP my friend...\m/ \m/...
+Morbid Angel no doubt
+Judas Priest I never even knew his name until just now....much less that he had died....sad...I grew up with this stuff..
off of Amazon today I just ordered the DARK album...I used to have this on cassette...\\m//
Judas Priest that's great! I recorded most of it off the radio...haha...college radio at 2 in the morning!
cool...\\m//
One of the darkest songs in Metal ever. Unbelievable.
When the riff kicks in for the first time at 1:18, the darkness opens up.
And the way David Wayne sings here is a revelation.
Metallica's “One” is brutal.
Metal Church's “Watch the children pray” is pure darkness.
This was on head bangers ball all the time when Mtv was just music.
Yep. Taped Headbangers Ball every week on VHS. On one of the tapes it had this song followed by Warlock Fight for Rock. Every time I hear this I wait for Warlock to kick in right after. Man those we’re good days
Dude my coworker and I said the same thing today! This song was always on MTV Headbangers Ball! Back in dem good ole dayzzz. Miss old school REAL MTV.
And it played on like MTV 4... Metal Mayhem. Lol 😂 MTV has no respect for Metal anymore...
YES! They used to open Headbangers Ball with this song and it got me just amped! My mom used to let me stay up late to watch HB or record it for me.
bring back the eighties R.I.P David Wayne!!!!!!
gue metal
He is my sifu

Lyrics
In a darkened graveyard glows a light.
I see it shine there every night.
I know somewhere there's a hidden door.
There's an answer here we must explore.
No, I'll not submit to reason.
I'll sit and watch the seasons change.
We watch the children pray.
Save us God today,
Come whatever may.
We hold our fate and make the choice,
But we'll not listen to that still small voice.
Are we just crazy, out of our minds?
Wish this were someplace, another time.
We watch the children pray.
Save us God today,
Come whatever may.
And I know we're going
So far away from this wretched life we lead.
With open arms meet catastrophe,
In the valley of the damned we'll be.
And I know we're going
So far away from this wretched life we lead.
With open arms meet catastrophe,
In the valley of the damned we'll be.
We watch the children pray.
Save us God today,
Come whatever may.
And now to life we say goodbye.
I know the when but not the why.
Our nation's blood spills on the ground.
Our lives go out without a sound.
Wow
Hmm
Thank you
This song is a timeless masterpiece. It’s creators or songwriters were truly gifted as artists and musicians.
Listen folks this song is more relevamt today than ever.
Thank you so much david wayne…rip brother
❤❤❤❤❤
Many years ago Kurdt Vanderhoof came to the Tri Cites Washington playing for another band. I greeted him and got his autograph. Best day ever...
One of the greatest pure METAL bands ever. David Wayne was in my opinion, the best singer in metal at that time. Another band that should have been huge. They were so much better than anyone else at the time.
So Very Right David Wayne was the best !!! Vocal Range NOBODY COME'S CLOSE!!!!!
I m so doubtful about that, Rob Halford is best singer ever, he is one hell of a crazy singer but only good way, Halford is unbeatable singer
So you are wrong about that
@@MasaM-c2c I loved rob halford until he moved to phoenix and became a Republican, what a loss to metal and the LGBT.
@@rogerhickman6114 - dude, relax on that, we're fans also, but Geoff Tate has more range.
The power a song has is just mind blowing! I used to listen to this when I was a teenager playing air guitar and doing my make believe vocals. F'n intense how the memories just flow into my mind. Long Live Rock & Roll /Metal.
David Wayne & Mike Howe [ Rest In Power My Brothers🙏🙏] 🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of the best metal songs ever
Metal Church deserved so much more in their carreer! The first album is probably the best Metal album of all time. What a classic! Over and out!

I was in high school I found it and have aways enjoyed there music.
This song still sends chills up my spine Metal Church should of been bigger!
Metal Church and Jag Panzer are two of the most underrated bands of the last century.
There's heaps others, but yeah, definitely right.

Nothing touches those first 2 albums. Vibe like no other.
fuckin amazing song,one of the best in metal history,trully a classic
Fantastic song, but come on, you can't metal history it! I'll be honest, and again, it's a fantastic song, but it's not even the best one on this same album. Go listen to "Method to your madness".

that eagle is the champion of Portugal and the 5º best club in europe but you know that
helder lopes Yeah, I do know that. Just toying with you. Listen, FC Porto strangely collapsed and Sporting Lisbon's inexperience hurt them, and now they lost their coach, but Benfica had a good season and deserved the title, but they're not anywhere close to being 5th best in Europe!

The best heavy metal record of all time I love this song
Favorite bands as the psycho youth I was: Exodus, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metal Church, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Lita Ford, Motley Crue, AC/DC and Queensryche.

Classic 80's Heavy Metal!!!
Metal Church Forever
I was at work on 9 11and this song was playing when the second plane hit forever in my life the two will be linked ..and on a side note one of the most underrated bands ever
Holy Christ dude.... Wow. Super heavy
I listen to it since so many years, remembering a great time in my live !
he really was an amazing singer and god took him to soon, i wish he was still with metal church
A complete heavy Metal song one of the greatest ever
Who cannot love the awwwwww crow sound he makes. The Dark is a masterpiece.
Well, better than metal church album anyway
Wow... It's my 57th BD and was thinking back on the good old days. My Walk man walking miles with this Great Group playing in my ears! Lost track of them for decades. Thought I'd look them up today and listen... Great memories, what an under rated great group this was!
This is how I remember 'METAL CHURCH", I miss you Dave, thanxs for the memories, from Kent behind the bar , in the ol' apartment, your bro, DC went to my sister's wedding with Jon Nugent, they r divorced now, Hey miss you man, u r always on my mind, luv ya, & still love the METAL CHURCH!!!!!!!
Wow, very nice tribute... God bless you 🐱🙂😅 †
Always a go to fav...............
I super love this piece of art, this song made me become the musician I am, not famous at aLL, but I'm super happy of my skills... thanks METAL CHURCH!!! LOVE YOU FOREVER, YOU HAVE BECOME PART OF MY LIFE..... SO PROUD TO SAY THIS SO F.. PROUD!!!!!
The badass thing is that I wasn't even born when this came out...thanks to my dad I listen to METAL CHURCH, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, SLAYER, METALLICA....thanks pops!!
This song gives me goosebumps! Definately one of the best metal ballads ever. R.I.P. David Wayne... \m/
I met these guys in the 80's at a club they were playing in Raleigh NC. They rocked the house! They were so much fun to hang out with! Coolest group of dudes and down to earth! It was an Epic night! So happy we took pictures that evening! I treasure them!
I've just recently been browsing TH-cam and I thank the almighty gods of metal for it. I have found so much classic metal and videos that I've grown up with and still love. This band has always been one of my favorites from when I was a teenager in the 80s, even until now.
One of the best goosebumb Metal songs ever written in history❤
Metal church is awesome.
Yes definitely
great song from an amazing band and we will all miss david wayne, rest in peace bro
I'm 52 yrs old 2021 and I still listen to Heavy Metal music since the 80s 😎🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🔥🤣🤣🔥🔥
Me to
Christ this sound is crystal clear. Amazing musicianship and production.
I wish there were more classic videos of metal church. Blessing in disguise and human factor put out some good videos. Wayne's Metal Church us a freaking masterpiece but not one video
Can't figure out why people squabble between Wayne and Howe when they are so similar, and similarly awesome. Most bands don't get lucky enough to have two great singers.
aldersmoke1 I agree. Few people's voices age as well as Mike Howe's has. The only others I can think of are Lizzy Borden, Michael Kiske and Neil Turbin
agreed
aldersmoke1 Ronnie was awesome too
@@brettmurphymurphy8073 "Ronnie was Awesome above all". ...There. ...Fixed it for you.
Anyways, the thing with that, is Howe was in Heretic, then joined Metal Church, and Wayne was in Metal Church and joined Heretic. The two switched bands.
Metal church was all I listened to in 1988,,being a high school flunky braught me back here....
Haven't heard this in forever..I met these guys w/Anthrax at an autograph signing party,they signed my purse(it was pink)..my stupid mom threw it out! Song still gives me chills..alot of memories from ''the good ol' dayz''..oh,well,I'll forever be a metalhead!!!!!!! ROCK ON! \m/
metallicatlaura - I’ve been to lots of great shows - but the Metal shows back in the 80’s were hands down some of *_THE_* best and most memorable!
Glad I was born in 1970... ‘cuz the 80’s were a great time for creativity in general!
🤘🏼
Amen metal sister
David Wayne. What a fkn voice ……rip …..
this is such a great song.....their first three albums can stand toe to toe with the output of ANY band of that era.
METAL CHURCH opened for METALLICA 1986 at the CAPITOL THEATER in NJ. I was 16 and was in the 8th row!!! memories like that keep me young 4ever!
Man, I saw this Metal Church lineup at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA in 1985.
The bands were Slayer, Overkill, Metal Church, D.R.I. and Bl’ast!
I probably paid $12 for the ticket!
Great show! Metal Church kicked ass!
