- Lyrics:
Here she comes, lady love
When you give her it all but it's never enough
What she's got is too hot
You know you'll get burned but you still need a shot
So be mine tonight
And give me what I'm after
I know you feel alright
When you see my
Power love
Creeping up on you
Power love
Whatcha gonna do
True love, now that's rough
Will it still be around when the going gets tough
If it's fate, it's too late
When it's dragging your heart all over the place
So be mine tonight
And give me what I'm after
I know you feel alright
When you see my
Power love
Creeping up on you
Power love
Whatcha gonna do, gonna do
Feel my power love
Steal your heart away
Power love
Make you wanna say
Take it all away
Feel my power love
Creeping up on you
Power love
Whatcha gonna do, gonna do
Power love
Power love
Creeping up on you
Power love
Power love
Power love
Power love
------------------------------------------------
In 1986, Lion recorded the "Power Love EP" which contained the song "Power Love" featured in the 1986 Charlie Sheen movie "The Wraith". This film also had a memorable racing scene accompanied by the original version of Lion's "Never Surrender".
In 1987, Lion recorded the "Dangerous Attraction" album, which contained re-recordings of the songs "Power Love" and "Never Surrender". A music video was made for this new version of "Power Love" and can be easily found on TH-cam.
This clip is my attempt to replace the audio with the original "Power Love", which doesn't quite sync up with the video perfectly, due to extremely minute differences in what I perceive to be contained in the gaps before and after Doug Aldrich's guitar solo, even after slowing down the tempo of the original track, which was ever so slightly faster than the re-recording.
It is still interesting to note how faithfully Lion re-recorded this song, in contrast to their 1989 album "Trouble in Angel City", which contained re-recordings of the remaining "Power Love EP" songs that underwent more noticeable changes, including transposition of some of the standard-tuned original tracks one semitone down and modification of some song structures.
Some other random thoughts about this band:
- I always thought the guitar riff sounded like Def Leppard's "Photograph".
- Going through the entire Kal Swan discography, you can hear a very distinct evolution in the type of music he recorded. He started off in the British band Tytan which recorded the NWOBHM album "Rough Justice", followed by the two Lion albums which were more typical 80s hard rock, continuing on with Lion guitarist Doug Aldrich in their final band together Bad Moon Rising which started incorporating more blues in their first two albums, culminating with their grunge/alternative third and final album "Opium For The Masses" where Kal's vocals are his strongest. Kal made one final appearance on the 1997 Doug Aldrich track "Millwall Brick" and disappeared from the music scene.
- Doug Aldrich has a talent for playing some stuff that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to play by ear, including many of his big distorted chords and solo arpeggios, yet being extremely melodic.
- I cannot find live footage of Lion. There are some live acoustic clips of Bad Moon Rising for fans of Kal and Doug, the creative force behind both these bands, and some live video of Tytan, Kal's pre-Lion NWOBHM band.
- Lion only had one music video, "Power Love" (re-recorded version). Bad Moon Rising only had two music videos, "Blood On The Streets" and "Belligerent Stance". The two albums in between, "Trouble In Angel City" and "Bad Moon Rising", didn't seem to release any singles or videos.
- I have read about two supposed Bad Moon Rising tracks, "Millwall Brick" and "Union", which I have been unable to find. I have no idea whether the former is actually the Doug Aldrich track mentioned four paragraphs above, and I simply cannot track down the latter. My Kal Swan discography would be complete after that.

Doug Aldrich is highly appreciated & underated as a guitarist. IMO.
Loved when he joined Hurricane.
One of the underrated great bands of the time
I was there in the late 80s. These guys melted faces. Doug was and is still a beast. Visited with him in Jackpot, NV when he was touring with Whitesnake. Kal, well, he was probably one of the most amazing/memorable vocalists in Hollywood, along with Ron Keel (whassup Metal Cowboy), who they pulled on stage at the Country Club in Reseda. Kids, if you missed HW in the 80s, I would attest it was like missing Woodstock but with glam... there just wasn't anything better than the strip and all the clubs that promoted talent there... Troubador, FM, China, Gazzaris, Roxy, Whisky, the list goes on. I miss it.
Shane, unfortunately I never got to see Doug in Lion (I lived in NY at that time), but did see him with Hurricane around 1990-1991 (i think) & he just smoked. I miss those days too, but I'm glad to be old enough to have experienced it. Would not want to be 22 years old now. The Roxy Whiskey & Rainbow are still there, but the scene is long gone. It was actually still fun up until the mid 2000's, but now it's like a ghost town. Myself & my friends, all in our 50s, are all that's left...the last of a dying breed. The Rainbow is still owned by the Maglieri family but managed by completely different people. Although they are all cool, & let all of us 30+ year regulars in for free (& let us stay until the very end of last call), its a completely different vibe. It is also pretty much 90% men, so that in & of itself changes the entire dynamic. We are just grateful it's still going, we can still go eat decent Italian food with UFO, Van Halen, Motley Crue , etc playing in the background, & still run into someone that we haven't seen in years. Great times man!
"When you see my... [*guitar] PANAMA!!! - Oops. i mean, POWER LOVE!!!"
@@mxr122669la droga tabaco que en ese momento como la de hoy debió ser muy fuerte que la abstinencia se hace muy difícil cuando te entregas a todo eso eh.
@@the503creepout7ja te la creiste eh
HW?
Kal Swan and Doug Aldrich. They should have been huge.
Absolutely, my friend! 'Dangerous Attraction' is criminally underrated.
@@brandonholmes8655So is the hard to find follow up. “Trouble In Angel City.” If you ever see that album buy it!
Way better than some other bands who made it big. Must be all in who you know and who is backing you. Lion kicked it!
This song was in the soundtrack of a cheesy-cool 80's movie called The Wraith. I forgot about these guys too but it's a good song. Thanks for posting.
John LeBlanc and f13
TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
名曲 👍
ダグ·アルドリッチ ❤
Decent song from the good ol days .. brings back good ol memories more than anything
Back in the day. These guys were awesome and highly respected on the Sunset Strip Club Circuit amongst all us fellow musicians. Kal Swan was an intense frontman. Had the privilege to see these guys rock at the Roxy in Hollywood.
Awesome!!! Lucky! Bands like Lion, Kix, Malteze and Julliet are bands that are so underrated and just because they didn't make it as big as Motley Crue doesn't make them any less. Actually a lot of times they are better than the big bands!
@@Icarusvampire Yep. I was in the circles bak in the day on the Sunset Strip. Played in bands Nitrous Roxx and China Blue heavily on the circuit. Also went to music school at MI in Hollywood. Rumor was the drummer Mark Edward's management company crumbled the band. Such a shame. I just watched this video again and gave me goosebumps! When we saw these guys play, Kal had such an intense and intimidating stage presence. I remember him starring us down. We were like yeah, this guy is a bad ass.
@@Rickster777 - Could only imagine what it must have been like on the Sunset Strip back in the 70's and 80's when all that stuff was taking off and going on!!! Wish I could have been there!
Man I miss this METAL !!!
This is one of those songs that gets me so hype that when it ends I cheer as if I am at a concert. I am writing this as I am on the bus to work 😂.
Yep, the chorus just absolutely smokes! 😎
I like a lot this band... is simply superb and awesome!
miss these guys!!!
Omg THE WRAITH SOUNDTRACK
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
and oooweee..yeah..!!
Such a great band awesome songs the two albums they bought out superb.should have been huge
Doug Aldrich Rocks !
Everybody is twitching about Kal And Doug while I discovered them because of drummer Mark Edwards, of whom I was a fan of since his work in Steeler featuring Yngwie J and Ronnie Lee.
@SabuPtolemy I heard that he quit playing drums due to a neck injury from a vehicle accident?
Still have my vinyl copy of Code Of Honor. Yup!
what a singer! Kal rules!
Bad ass song
Lion were an incredible band and were definitely one of the best in their field and I just think it's a really big shame that they aren't together as a band anymore cause they disbanded in 1989 so anyone who has seen them are extremely lucky. I think if they were still together they could have potentially been really big and could maintain being in the public eye. As doubtful as it is I hope one day they all reform and record another album.
I agree
Their disbandment wasn't by choice - Mark Edwards was in a nasty bike accident, so that pretty much killed the band. Kal & Doug went on to do Bad Moon Rising (after Doug's stint with Hurricane) - and they were pretty amazing - I only saw them once in a tiny club in the Valley. Kal is apparently out of the business, but if you check out Doug's IG, they had a reunion dinner before the last Dead Daisies' show at the Whisky. It pisses me off that I was so close to seeing all those guys since I went to that show - I've met Doug, Kal & Jerry, but never Mark.
It's really awesome that Babymetal included this song on their walk-in playlist for the Legend-S livestream! 🤘
I love everything about this song forever needs to be played on radio 🎸❣🎸🤘❤🎸
As bandas dos anos 80 eram incríveis e perfeitas..
Músicos verdadeiros, incrivelmente sensacionais..🤘
how the heck did a band this good not make it big? can't find anywhere to buy their CDs
Because they sound like every other band in the 80s trying to make it.
U can find em on Spotify
You can but $$$$
They have released the Dangerous Attraction on Amazon
It is under new label call Rock Candy no longer Scotti Brothers the Transformer song not on it like the original album
hell yeah doug aldrich is the man on the six string
Man what a riff
We miss you, Kal! Where ever you are, I hope you're doing well. You're one hell of a singer.
I like this orig audio version much better than the re-make..Thkx for posting..
And I like the newer version, because I sang on it. Lol
making productions still? www.soulambitionmusic.com/
Lion and Badlands are hands down the most criminally underrated bands of the 80s and 90s (if not ever) . Their music can easily challenge that of the better known bands anyday
what i wouldn't give to see these guys play the Transformers theme live
autobots rollout
Transformers theme???
I'd never heard of them until Transformers. I missed out.
I'm with ya
Yes brother, was waiting for somebody to comment about transformers, stil one of my favourite songs to this days, absolutely amazing!!🙏🎸🎸🎸
Very cool version, I like the bit of hesitation compared to the other version, thanks.
0:49 breaking a drumstick... easily missed, but a cool addition :)
I noticed 😂
The drummer, Mark Edwards, is now a successful business man due to an accident in 89 which ceased his drumming career. he is also currently the Chairman of the famous Wilhelmina Modeling Agency.
Still watching in 2021.
Japan only with Mark edwards solo ep
on CD 👍
Saw them at the country club in reseda
86 or so. Chicks everywhere.
anyone hear a little bit of Photograph and Panama mixed in?
I definitely hear "Photograph" in the verses. And now that you mention it, the chorus does sound like a take on "Panama". "Whatchoo gonna do gonna do" is straight out of Ratt's "Wanted Man". The song even ends like "Wanted Man" does. The close out chorus where they're going "Power luh-uv" reminds me of something I can't quite place yet.
Yeah, it's so obvious I had to pause to sing on this to find which theme it made me remember of.
many bands of the 80's used this "harmonic chords" formula which Van Halen started popularizing since his debut, that's why it all kinda sounds the same - harmonic chords had been used since mid 80's a lot by musicians. The same thing analogical to power chords which are used by many bands and they sound the same in any harmony! It's all just musical formulas and people just use them, that's why it all sounds partly similar - can't avoid those 8 notes despite of how hard you try! : )
I love this song way more than I should.
It's a cool underrated band and I will get this album. 😀👍🤘🎸
👑 groovy beats...wild..❤ it..👑
Feel my...
Powerlove
Creeping up on you
Powerlove
What you gonna do
Powerlove

Dam good band, liked their shit
Awesome band
the Wraith 1986 movie soundtrack!!!
NICE Guitar!
yes...
THERE NEEDS TO BE A "LION" REUNION & TOUR!!!!!!!!
remenber the 80 90 hardrock heavymetal
I talked to a friend of mine. He said that they are going to reissue this album around July 2017.
Jesus is the the KING OF KINGS, SERVE HIM!!!! HELL IS FOREVER,
Hell they even played a song from this band on FRIDAY THE 13TH
Finally found this CD for cheap!
what I wouldn't give to go back to the 1986.
All ok about Edwards now?
They are an underestimated band because of their agency I think
Listened to the cassette tape so much I broke it
What's Kal up to these days? Love this rhythm riff!
I just ran into Kal 9/16/2018 at the Rainbow after the Dead Dasies (the band Doug currently plays in) show at the Roxy. He no longer sings, has a family, & works in the film industry...ironically lives 5 minutes down the road from me (Woodland Hills CA). Mark Edwards made it there from Texas, he has a tough time walking since he was almost paralyzed from a motorcycle accident not long after they disbanded. Both of them were super nice. Jerry I have seen around for years, he's still playing local gigs around So Cal & I believe he still works for Friedman Amplifiers. He told me that Sun night was the first time they have all seen each other since the band broke up, almost 30 years ago. Doug is one of my favorite guitar players, he also lives locally and is very cool in person, however he's always surrounded by friends, swarmed by fans consequently tough to have a conversation with. However if you catch him at the right time, he's great talking to, will sign anything, take photos, & has no ego whatsoever.
@@mxr122669 Thanks for the answer! Yes, Doug is a great guitarist! And he still looks about the same!
@@mxr122669 it's pretty sad that Mark got injured otherwise these guys would have had a bigger name they were awesome
Thanks for the update on Kal Swan. When his kids get old enough he should come out of retirement and sing some songs with Doug. He can still keep his day job.
Reform Lion and see if Frontiers would put out a new record!!!!
can someone pls upload an entire live gig of these guys....... always loved this fucking band
Never Heard of this Band
Ｉ❤️ this song ✨✨
I love this 💕
I'm doing a vocal cover of this song agree definitely a very underrated band
Nice info! Nice song.. \m/
The song was cheesy but Doug Aldrich seriously kicked ass as did the rest of this band. Too bad they did not become a household name.
They had bad management and Kal had two boys to take care of and realized been on the road with a rock band wasn't feasible. I think he has one of the better voices in rock music.
Is there a band Doug Aldritch hasn't played in?? 🤔🤔😂😂
I swear I see him in tons of videos and bands. 🤔😊
uhhh! Hard rock!
Quem tiver mais vídeos dessa vanda manda pra nós os caras eram incríveis
Muito boa de hard rock
Doug Aldrich hahahaha :D
total photograph
The '87 LP version is so much cleaner/punchier.
"Now that's Rough!!!!"
Def Leppard Photograph + Van Halen Panama
The Wraith
What on earth happened to the one with the actual audio I can't find it anywhere
GLAM
All the same "struggling to find a sound" crap from the 80s. Some guy tried to tell me that Doug Aldrich was better than Vivian Campbell in Dio. What a friggen joke. This guy isn't in Viv's universe.
Maybe so , but in all honesty Vivian Campbell wasn’t quite in Steve Clark’s league either . But yet he still stepped in for him for Def Leppard and now tears it up for them too ! Please do your research before you comment ... ✌️
Who swapped out the LP version for the EP version?
So sad that Spotify and ITunes doesn't recognize this great forgotten band
They at least have "Dangerous Attraction" album that includes the Transformers theme.
Lion tiene mas videoclips???
My Car was Metal
And my music
Amazing skills, love Doug. But, it's just not a good song. Cookie cutter metal. Sorry, flame on
Agreed, and I sang BG's on it. Love the elements, production value, Doug (great kid in the day/still), but... yeah.
