My wife says "ALL YOU LISTEN TO IS 80s METAL WHY NOT GIVE THIS ERA OF MUSIC A CHANCE?" well until I found Crazy Lixx she was right....but now I have expanded my mind and listening to this era of music...but Crazy lixx is the only Metal band from this era I like because the music sounds just like my 80s Metal....THANK YOU Guys.
I've never been through 80s, but I love all kinds of Metal. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Metallica, Motley Crue, Kiss…, they are my all time favorites.
Now this is hard rock, sonically. The understandable lyrics, high range and harmonized vocals, overdriven guitars, clean bass, and non-electric drums. This is better than the outdated, cheese pop we have today.
Ironic because THIS stuff is “outdated” while the pop stuff is “modern/futuristic”… NO! This is ACTUAL music! Outdated my butt, this kicks more rear end than any pop song could ever dream of doing
@@tonepoet I literally have no idea. Like I have a band and we love to play hair metal but we still need to develop and get better. He haven't done much lately but we cover Metallica,Skid Row,Poison,Dokken and Ratt. Still in highschool so who knows what the future holds. Hopefully something
@@metalrebel7506 You are doing something right, keep it going. I wish my own kids would listen to this kind of music and not lame crap that's on the radio now. It makes me sad and disappointed.

I absolutely adore this band and everything they do! Their music is so infectious and uplifting it is quite simply the perfect escape from everyday life. They are amazing!
Because it never was!! rap proved that rappers (talkers) had and still have no talent and that this is how to not sound like an uneducated fool with unmeaningful lyrics. Rap in english (brittish) means talk,to funny.
Do not STOP with the 80s vibes Crazy Lixx! You're the best band of our generation.(also the best band to come from Sweden bar Swedish Erotica and Electric Boys- in my opinion.) 80s isn't dead. Thank you.
The album is AWESOME ...Just push play and put in on continuous cycle..every track is brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 80's sound lives on ;)
Danny Rexon did a Q&A on FB a few days ago and he said the country that they gets them the most streams and album sales is the US. He said the reason they haven't toured is because the work visas are expensive and take a long time to get. So Americans are supporting them, it's just the visas that are the issue preventing them from touring. Which is odd because bands that aren't nearly as good, or as popular can seem to tour in the US. But financially it may be tough too for them.
The US music industry needs to wake up and see what's going on with Rock in the rest of the world. This is straight up fast paced Rock and not that slowed down mess. And, just look at all the ladies in the crowd. That means guys will follow and it's money in the bank for everyone.
CRAZY LIXX IS AWESOME! Way to go! Nothing like bringing the Hair Metal back! Great job and great song! (Sure I hear a little Poison in there,but that's ok.!)
I never liked the term "hair metal". It's an extension of that era, of style and excess. What a lot of people never realized was that under that glitz were some pretty complex musical scores. If someone who never saw what those bands looked like, they'd put them in the same category as AC/DC, Boston, Journey, Led Zep, The Who (maybe), Foreigner, Cheap Trick etc...of the 70's aka "Party Rock" bands. It was all about having a good time, living and laughing with friends. I bet these guys work harder than All of the Top 40 pop artists/bands combined. What we see is their stress release from Their work. It's their party time and we're invited.
Frontiers Music is the best label in forever...keeping rock alive and sooooo many rock ass artist... been waiting forever for new Lixx...thank you Crazy Lixx and Frontiers...you never fail to deliver....
That they are I have been following them since there debut album & there music just gets better & better. They are the most consistent band around at the moment making feel good rock Music which puts a big smile on my face.😁🤘🤘👍
I just love this video and love Crazy Lixx! In this video, you can see how much the two Jens are beach boys. :) Danny has such a great voice! Joel kicks ass on those drums, and, of course, Chrisse... he seems so shy and sweet, but he plays so awesome!! Love those guys! \m/
Dang, this is just like going back to the mid 80's. These guys sound like a cross between Poisen, and Danger Danger. I miss music that made me feel good.
Ease up that riff or something VERY similar to it is in over a thousand great rock songs It's a typical 80's Metal Riff you surely don't think Poison wasn't also influenced by another song they heard to come up with Fallen Angel? What really matters is where you go with the tune after the riff and what you build around it to make the song your own! This is a bad ass tune and so incredibly refreshing to hear "FUN" 80's type Rock/Metal Again in 2018 & 2019. This music is all FUN puts you in a great mood when you listen to it makes you wanna pick up a guitar or party instead of most of the Doomish depressing stuff popular nowadays. I love it Bring it on!! I'm going to check out ALL the bands on this label now!! Don't think for a minute that music from the 80's will ever die even today...even Icons from that era are still going very strong! Queensryche's new effort is AMAZING and check out bands like The End Machine, Burning Rain, Revolution Saints, I think you'll be surprised at some of the familiar faces you'll see in those bands & L.A. Guns new CD is BAD ASS as well!
GryphonFootball2019 one must go hunting for good rap. As it is with all popular genres. The gems are found deep in the pile. It’s like people saying that there isn’t any good new metal bands. Just gotta hunt for them.
It just makes you an ignorant bonehead when you slam an entire genre like that. it's like people who slam metal because they thing it all sounds like that one sound they don't like despite how much variety there is in it. Quit being a lunkhead.
@@ZiddersRooFurry Rap is probably going to be around forever because it doesn't require any talent other than putting together rhymes. You don't need to have a great voice to be a rapper and more importantly you don't have to be a talented musician. Anybody can do it. It takes a lifetime to learn to be great at playing the guitar, drums, piano or any other instrument. When I listen to a song I want to hear both lyrics and music and not just some fool running around on stage with his hat on sideways, bling bouncing up and down, pants halfway down his ass, grabbing his crotch, and spewing out denigrating lyrics with prerecorded sound tracks in the background. NO TALENT!
This is such a great band. I am so happy I found this band. I have been missing this sound for years. It's just fun feel good music that you can't find nowadays very talented love it
This singer reminds me so much of the singer of Danger Danger, who was a text-book example of a typical 80’s rock band. This band does a stunning job of taking us back to those days. One thing this band doesn’t capture is how the bands in the 80’s weren’t making bullsh*t political statements. We all loved our country, and were on the same page about it. There was none of this co-dependent, entitled, professional-victim BS that’s infecting ever aspect of our culture today.
@@andysixxlett2632 Alive, yes. But not well by a longshot. I mean, we have the big fish like Slipknot and KoЯn, and, of course, Linkin Park (although not won't be the same without Chester), and then we have a bunch of post-grunge bands, but they won't rise to popularity in the same way as they used to be in the Nineties and early Naughties. What I have seen, however, is a rise in popularity of classic rock styles like Psychedelic rock (Greta Van Fleet) and hair metal (Steel Panther). The darker tone of the Naughties has become a cliché of itself and the idea that it always represents the misunderstood and the outcasted has become redundant to a point of annoyance. Anger is better than depression, so people don't want music that says how soft we are. They want music that raises the middle finger and states, "I won't go by your rules, I won't comply, I will be me, whether you like it or not. I am not a whiny child, I am a rebel and will fight for my right to be free." That is the true nature of rock'n'roll, that is the main reason for why it became revolutionary. Nu metal pales in comparison, sorry not sorry.
@@stefantsarev4442 Heck yeah! I totally see your viewpoint!! Music is an incredible thing that has sadly been watered down by cliches.... but ... Falling in Reverse did recently just land a #1 on Billboard with Popular Monster which technically is a Nu-Metal song so it's a little difficult to say Nu Metal isnt seeing a revival.
@@andysixxlett2632 If one song becomes a hit, that doesn't necessarily mean the whole genre makes a revival. I believe that Popular Monster became popular not because of the quality of the song itself or because of having a brand new tone, since it is neither amazing nor fresh in my opinion, but because the American metalheads have grown tired of all the shitcore, don't like the heavier genres and simply wanted to feel that authentic metal vibe that used to rule. The problem is, that when most people in the USA and Canada are asked what metal means to them, they usually say black clothes, black hair, isolation, depression, use of drugs etc, because this has been the popular premise in the last 30 years, ever since the Grunge explosion. Grunge exploded because of hair metal - people got tired of songs about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. The European scene in the 80s was different, heavy metal was a lot more nuanced and deep - there were good songs and there were evil songs, in an epic battle there would be a heavy metal song about both the hero and the villain, because, though they are on the two ends of the spectrum, both are badasses who never apologise for their actions. Listen to, for example, Judas Priest: they have a song about becoming a rebel (Breaking The Law), revenge (The Sentinel), a monster (Nightcrawler), high speed (Turbo Lover) and party time (Living After Midnight). They showed that metal is so versatile that can describe every emotion in a person. Now, regarding Crazy Lixx - unlike Steel Panther, who are a self-aware parody band, these Swedish guys are seriously trying to remind us that rock and metal don't only mean darkness and being misunderstood, they want people to have a good time whilst sounding epic and awesome. And people do return to the heavy metal and hair metal, because it is awesome and relatable to all of us.
My wife says "ALL YOU LISTEN TO IS 80s METAL WHY NOT GIVE THIS ERA OF MUSIC A CHANCE?" well until I found Crazy Lixx she was right....but now I have expanded my mind and listening to this era of music...but Crazy lixx is the only Metal band from this era I like because the music sounds just like my 80s Metal....THANK YOU Guys.
theres a couple of bands contemporary with these guys right now, all from Scandanavia of course. Crash Diet, Reckless Love, Bloody Heels
Dude, check out Airbourne.
I'm glad I'm not alone! I got the same thing happening to me! lol
добавлю,что не у всех групп 80-х было три соло-гитариста . Обычно было два.
и это круто!!!!
I grew up listening to 80's metal and I'm sure glad I found this band.

I just found this band while listening to Battle Beast. They sound great.
Полностью согласен
Europeans teaching americans how to truly rock! Awesome.
We need more quality 80's rock and metal!!!!!✊👍✊👍✊👍
they taught us how to live and they taught us how to love.
But America has taught Europe this kind of rock and metal in 80s Bon Jovi, kiss, Alice Cooper I like them
Try out Hardbone from Hamburg.😘
Well we are all European and rock is European
Rightwing National Socialist dont forget the root of rock music is blues
Good to see the "REAL" Metal is making a come back. Kinda has that Poison "Mamma's Fallen Angel" sound. Thanks Frontiers Music.
I was thinking the same thing
I can hear it too.
I think I found the time machine LIXX what a breath of fresh 80’s air !! Damn this sounds great 👍 Make America Rock Again 🇺🇸
I'm 60 and this hits HOME!!! I LOVE U GUYS! BRING ROCK BACK!!!
Crazy Lixx are just amazing!!!!Great song, great solo, and for sure one of the hits of the year for Rock Melodic Radio

Because it never was!! rap proved that rappers (talkers) had and still have no talent and that this is how to not sound like an uneducated fool with unmeaningful lyrics. Rap in english (brittish) means talk,to funny.
Only in America... other countries still ROCK!
The vocal in this song is so 80s!
No matter which year is, 80's music will always rule the world!!!
Always gives me false hope for 80’s rock to mount a comeback when I hear bands like this putting out music with an 80’s vibe. 🤘
Plenty of good stuff coming out of other countries. Just gotta find it
Just a few years more dude, Glam is slowly returning, and better than ever
Glam never died, it just moved to Scandinavia.
Awesome jam! Felt like I was back in the 80’s for 5:07 minutes! Rock on!
These guys have nailed the sound of my youth! Awesome band, even more awesome sound. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You guys will still rock the 2080's!

I hear a little of Poison's, Fallen Angel in the opening bars. Hey, Crazy Lixx are bringing back the 80s, so all good. Great music this band makes.
The album is AWESOME ...Just push play and put in on continuous cycle..every track is brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 80's sound lives on ;)

Oh the irony-in the 80s it was completely the other way around!
Great hardrock song and amazing Band... I'm glad to meet this 80s sound back again! LONG LIVE HAIR METAL BANDS!!!
good to see hair metal still alive in 2019!

🤔 Eehhh... Not I don't want to argue; I just think that the music video for "all looks, no hooks" is way better 👍🏻😉
Glam and heavy metal of 21century! Looks like on Def Leppard 🤘
That's the first new band I've heard that resembles 80s glam rock
Acabo de descubrir esta banda, que vuelva el Glam Metal!!!
One of the most fun bands nowadays! 🤟🏻
This album is marvelous ! Pure 80's DNA . I saw you at Frontiers Fest and bought the 2 last albums . Thank You / MERCI from France .
Love the Swedish hard rock band/scene. 80s style rock in the 21st centery!

For us fortysomethings, it is nice to hear the music that we grew up listening to still alive with a younger generation.
