im 38 yrs old ...Overkill been there since like 10-12 yrs old .... best sync'd band ever ..even in concert they never mess up ...so In tune with ea. other .........the years are still Decaying!!!!!
Tim Mallare was a beast of a drummer. He should also be called the atomic clock. One of the tightest devastating live bands out there still. The best thing about Overkill? They can write incredible songs.
One of the very best live songs these guys do; I was glad to hear it in Chicago last month. I hope they never stop touring because I'll go every time they come through - let me put it this way, Overkill is the best live band I've ever seen, and I've seen a ton. One reason they're so good is because they love the fans - notice how the band members are always in the crowd interacting? You don't see that a lot from most bands. Jersey salutes all around!!!
shoutout to my badass mom with her cameo in the beginning… passed down the metal not once but twice… luv ya ma! (p.s. thanks for the heaps of overkill cds, cassettes, shirts and posters. and letting me blast electric rattlesnake in a public bathroom at 6 years old!!) \m/ dirty jerzey born n raised 🤘
back when i started listening to overkill, i thought they were underrated and unknown too, but, the more people i talked that were genuinely fans of metal i realized.....its not that they are unknown its just that they arnt a household name like metallica, but if you talk to someone who is a real fan of thrash, they WILL know overkill, and thats what really matters right? the hardcore fans, cuz thats really all of the overkill fans, rotton to the fucking core devoted. theres my 2 cents :)
Linsk looks like he can probably throw a car at someone if they made him angry. Love this song... I first heard it when I bought the Wrecking Your Neck album, like 11 yrs. ago. Been my favorite thrash anthem since.
you know i really dont know to many bands,that dont get the notarighty these guys deserve dd fucking verney. iwas watching that metal show. they were talking about best bass players in metal.and i dont think they even brought up dd verney.he would dfinatley be in my top five.
Such a great video. his voice is great. By the way the view on Metallica has nothing to do with overkill, so leave it be, we all have our own opinions.
I'd like to comment on the seven people that voted against this song... "Didn't y'all have something better to do than whine like li'l bitches?" Over Kill is simply the best . . . . . . . with seven periods!
@stagekev he does? :O i knew blitz' lyrics were brilliant, and usually even deeper than you would imagine, but fucking hell, a psychology degree! the man is full of surprises! :O Lucky man you could talk to him for that though, i envy you. but yeah, in a way i love the mystique of these lyrics too.
@robertmihoc Have to heavily disagree with you there. I'm a huge fan of both bands and the classic material of both bands never fails to blow me away. If I had to choose one, I would probably choose Slayer if simply for the fact that they have more classic material and stayed more consistently thrashy. Overkill fucking rules though and Bobby Blitz is my favorite thrash vocalist. Their catalog is slightly more consistent overall as well.
has anyone ever figured out these lyrics? if so gimme a heads-up, cuz i don't get em :P brilliant song btw, probably best off of WFO together with the famed Bastard Nation.
@metathrash121 Eh everyone has there own opinion, but I've always thought they were kinda sub par compared to a lot of other bands that have come out of the 70's and 80's. As far as being heavy goes, I still say eh.
That's your opinion and I completely disagree with you. I know people who share your point of view and people who share mine. The way I see it, the only "bad" Slayer records are Diabolus in Musica and God Hates Us All. Undisputed Attitude is good but not really my thing. Divine Intervention is underrated and awesome, despite Lombardo's absence. Christ Illusion fucking rips and World Painted Blood is pretty awesome as well.

"I was soaked with gasoline playing with a match..."
Such a GREAT line!
i remember when this record came out and upon hearing this song i was like now THAT is some tasty thrash. murderous!
OverKill is the best thrash band ever!
Best thrash frontman

Badass indeed..
W.F.O one of their best albums. Right up there with Years of Decay, Horrorscope and Bloodletting.
one from the best tracks 1994
Overkill RULES!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!
this is my favorite song from overkill , excelent finalharmony, and good basslines
I got 2 black eyes when they played this in Vancouver, and it was awesome!!!
I have alot of favorite overkill songs... but this one just hits different . Pure adrenaline
Possibly the angriest song ever. I love it.
Less metallica chat, more thrashing to OVERKILL!!! \m/
if you don't know Overkill is one of the Greatest Metal bands of all time , then you don't know jack shit about METAL !!! period .
Damn, these guys are good live.

bobby blitz is just inhuman!
Overkill... My love
Best live band hand's down!
wow... just wow... overkill kicks ass!
Saw Overkill in '86 w/Megadeath...WOW, I'm Old!!!
The pit for this song is always so much fun.....
vi-os no paradise garage juntamente com os annihilator...OverKill rules...POTENTISSIMOS
Linsk looks like he can probably throw a car at someone if they made him angry. Love this song... I first heard it when I bought the Wrecking Your Neck album, like 11 yrs. ago. Been my favorite thrash anthem since.
Probably one of the best overkill songs i've heard next to Where It Hurts and The Wait New High In Lows....fantastic album W.F.O
You took the words right out of my mouth dude! Cheers!
I love this track!
My favorite Overkill song
THIS IS HOW METAL IS DONE!!! I just wish all those Metalcore crap people could figure that out
Que pinche poder over kill!!!
PERFECT!!!
Blitz look like a evil Gremlin on the red light. haha
ahuauhahaahuhu davvero un fottuto gremlin
this live version of the song is 1000x better then the album. these guys are fuckin amazing live
I prefer the Cannavino / Gant version. Much more devastating.
Masterpiece.
AWESOME
@bloodpollution21 They don't rule anymore. But they WERE heavy...so yeah.
OverKill Rules !
Is It from the DVD of the concert in Asbury Park , New Jersey ,in 2002 ?
you know i really dont know to many bands,that dont get the notarighty these guys deserve dd fucking verney. iwas watching that metal show. they were talking about best bass players in metal.and i dont think they even brought up dd verney.he would dfinatley be in my top five.
top for me
I had written a strongly worded letter to Metal Edge magazine about not including DD in top bass players of all time..
Follow up: I got no response
For metal he's the best.
Bobby Blitz is a demon goblin
\m/
eargasming
God damn it where is the clean outro?! :(
🤘🤘
yep
overkill is huge and recognized. people who doesnt know em are those who are into linkin park or other crap
The best song on Wide Fuckin' Open.
I really like Dave Linsk. Ideal lineup would be him + Bobby Gustafson from the first 4 albums
I love this track!!!
Awesome!
Intro by Derek out of rhythm. See also The Wreckin' Your Neck ('95) version. Killer.
saw them live here in Portugal along with ANNIHILATOR...OVERKILL rules,trash-metal at its best...Ricardo - Nazaré
Fuck i wish they also included the clean outro as well
yea but Overkill and Metal Church are so underappreciated
Such a great video. his voice is great. By the way the view on Metallica has nothing to do with overkill, so leave it be, we all have our own opinions.
@bloodpollution21 Mr. AnelikDevil agrees...they don't have to sound like a flushing toilet to be some of the hardest shit on the web either...
@PsychoticPulse Justice for all was a killer album and the last worth listening to from metallica....
@BrutalEpicMetal Agreed
I'd like to comment on the seven people that voted against this song...
"Didn't y'all have something better to do than whine like li'l bitches?"
Over Kill is simply the best . . . . . . . with seven periods!
agree!!! it's probably better that way...
Dereck Tailer wearing a TKL cases shirt, haha.
@stagekev he does? :O i knew blitz' lyrics were brilliant, and usually even deeper than you would imagine, but fucking hell, a psychology degree! the man is full of surprises! :O Lucky man you could talk to him for that though, i envy you. but yeah, in a way i love the mystique of these lyrics too.
I got scared lol
Only if it's with you ;D
Wide Fucking Open
@amijustone what is metallica?
@robertmihoc Have to heavily disagree with you there. I'm a huge fan of both bands and the classic material of both bands never fails to blow me away. If I had to choose one, I would probably choose Slayer if simply for the fact that they have more classic material and stayed more consistently thrashy.

Where is the end?
you cutted the best part of the end, best part of the song 😪
@bloodpollution21 Opinions
@dreamy839 I had a choice, I went with Megadeth, never got into them when I was young.
hahaah I'm with you. Sony Wakman used to be the real POWER: Overkill are the real trashers
has anyone ever figured out these lyrics? if so gimme a heads-up, cuz i don't get em :P
brilliant song btw, probably best off of WFO together with the famed Bastard Nation.
YOU CUT OFF THE ENDING!
@metathrash121 Eh everyone has there own opinion, but I've always thought they were kinda sub par compared to a lot of other bands that have come out of the 70's and 80's. As far as being heavy goes, I still say eh.
@metallicahead93 not really
@bloodpollution21 Metallica ruled the world and were heavy.. Kill 'em all and ride the lightning were/are amazing
@PsychoticPulse the album is W.F.O. learn to search better..
@bloodpollution21 This conversation has contined waaaay too long. Lmao. What the hell is metallica? :D
@Hektor2255 slayer is noise pollution compared to overkill :) They may be the godfathers of trash but Overkill are 10 ranks above them.
I will fight 6 people
Metal Church pwns
Not as much as OverKill, but whatever.
ukmmm no..u forget about annihilator and death angel..enough said..mordred?forbidden. c'mon dude you left 3 great bands out
That's your opinion and I completely disagree with you. I know people who share your point of view and people who share mine.

talking something about this music.... spells it trash...it's thrash
how the fuck has slayer stayed consistent? they've released nothing but bullshit since 1990.
metallica aint got shit on OVERKILL they r not even close to them metallica is more pop nowadays!!!!!
Just get rid of the Big Four, because Thrash = Thrash = Thrash.
Meaning if it's Thrash, it's epic greatness.
Metallica does not rule, and is not heavy. Go to bed.
