man this song is a masterpiece. A timestamp of what was going on in in 84-85 oh metal and arena rock. I cant really understand why these guys didnt make it HUGE after this album, especially with this song on it. So well written - the mix of light and shade with the guitars and harmonies is poetic. Randy 0 has an AMAZING voice and can hit the highs with the best of them.
This was just a great song and it sounds just as good now as it did back in the day. I remember special ordering this album and waiting for 3 months for it to come in to Record Bar in Baton Rouge, LA. Anyone remember Record Bar? lol One of my alltime fave songs ever. Thanks for posting this and THANK YOU Randy for being so cool and giving the thumbs up to post it and keep the music alive. Cheers!
@@MrPESensation they probably don't care to be honest, have you spoken to one of them, they honestly are the most depressing little bags of shit I've ever come across.
These guys made excellent music and never got enough credit for their style shaping the wave of the LA music scene, I was there and they ripped it up with their music...
Wow I can't beleive I'm seeing this! I was a metal vixen in the 80's & would see these guys at clubs. ***MANY HAPPY MEMORIES *** Thanx so much for posting this! I've always loved this song!!!
I remember seeing this video on the U-68 Power Hour and reading a short interview with Odin in Metal Mania Magazine. (Not to be confused with Metal Maniacs, which was also good.) Boy, do I have fond memories of the Power Hour; they ran the gamut from AOR to death metal. I stumbled on it in 1985--I was flipping channels and there was W.A.S.P.'s Love Machine followed by Accept's Midnight Mover. I told all my metal buds at school and we watched nightly, until Home Shopping Club took it over. :(
Hi. Yes I remember U-68. This was a UHF TV station from New Jersey. I lived in Queens area of New York and we did not have cable at that time. So U-68 played music videos and had the power hour each night at 11pm. They played Hard Rock and Metal videos. Great times!!
by far the best quality I've seen for this video. It aired on U68 in New York City back in the day on the Metal Power Hour. Somewhere in my VHS closet i have this video.
Lol that's where I used to watch it too. This was on a big rotation and the Accept video Midnight Mover that probably gave people seizures with that spinning shit lol
Holy Shit!!! I have this EP on cassette. It took my 3 years looking in all the used music stores all over Southern California to find it. If I remeber correctly, the best song on the album is titled The Eye. The intro is demon voice psycho babble then the legendary scream kicks in that lasts for ever.
Wow. Cool. I remember checking out ODIN when I was 15 years old growing up in LA. My sister used to let me tag along. This was one of her favorite bands, and I gotta say I dug them too. Prolly saw them 15 times. I actually bought "Fight for your Life" off of Ebay about 2 years ago. If you're even remotely an ODIN fan, BUY THIS CD!!! I guarantee you that you'll come to realize that ODIN had more substance and chops than 95% of the other "hair bands" that "made it".
Randy, Heard the new stuff when I was with Jeff & Shawn. I really love when you go into your falsetto...for me that is what made Odin. You did a great job at Paladino's earlier this year. I loved 'cryin out' on the lostboys cd...I wish you had that video to load onto youtube for the listeners. BFD
...and, all of a sudden, 1989 comes back to me. You guys kicked ass ( country club reseda ) If you werent there back in the day, you really dont understand- and you Really missed out!
These guys should have made it big. The guitar player actually Amoured Saint. I went to High Schoool with Randy O's cousin Jerry Dixon from Warrant. This is a great song.
Randy O (the singer) has a wife and kids and works for the motion picture industry, Aaron (the bassist) is a realtor, I'm not sure what Shawn and Jeff do other than their bands DC4 and Armored Saint, but Odin is still alive and well and will be playing on the up coming Monsters of Rock cruise
motley crue, dokken, ratt, poison, warrant and all the other 80's band s were the metal scene back then i love odin i wish i could have seen them back then there were so many Great bands in the 80's and those bands weren't and still aren't a joke there's metallica and megadeth that kicked ass too anthrax too the 80's wouldn't be a scene without these bands
Of course. Record Bar stores actually had a Metal section. I have this LP, and then last year I bought an mp3 release that was "greatest hits" from amazon, but I think it has this entire LP on it.
Whatever happened to Odin? Last saw them late 70-80's. & They ran out of their tapes at the show. I miss them!!! Please come see Kallas @ Tampa at Southwest airlines -TIA.. tkt counter.
I know the first time I went to LA, these guys had a large following and were kicking ass and taking names. The song they had that I liked was "Don't Take No For An Answer" which was not like this at all - it reminded me of DIO - but I guess the label decided this had a better a shot as a hit. I never saw this on MTV, but I remember seeing this on "Night Flight".
If you have the song, "THE WRITER," please post it. Just put the white album cover (with Odin on it), and play the friggin song. The awesome screams in that song kicks ass. Thanks for posting!!
That is true they were one of the better L A strip bands from that time when they played the pantagest there they were actually getting better fan fair than the likes of groups like helix quiet riot and a few others from the early 80's
@gmlasam I was going to post that i saw these guys at gazzaris on the strip back in the eighties. Those were some damn good times. I think i played every bar and club in hollywood, all a memory now, lol.
Funny you mention Record Bar. It was the place to buy albums (along with Sound Shop) here in South Mississippi. While I never purchased any Odin albums back in the day, I have since bought "By The Gods" and "Fight For Your Life" on CD. Pretty cool shit.
Speaking of magazines, there's a new British mag out called Iron Fist that recaptures the spirit of great old titles like Aardschock America, Metal Rendezvous, Metal Mania, Metal Edge, Metal Maniacs, Creem Metal, etc. I think the editor worked at Terrorizer before starting her own magazine last year. About $10.99 U.S. an issue but a good well-filled read; definitely focused more on the heavier side from traditional to black to stoner doom. I totally recommend; Barnes & Noble carries it. \m/ :)
yeah, I know. They were damn good too. It's a shame that they broke up. I still say they were the best band in that movie, but you've got to be able to keep it together. That's all there is to it.
See ODIN live at the Whisky a go go on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday April 29th!! www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?eventId=6953315&pl=ment&dispatch=loadSelectionData
@lukerocks444 WHAT!!! they back in town again.damn complete with armored saint refugeee? and i mean that in a good way. I used to have there album when it was 1st pressed in white do you remember that ? ahhh when metal was fresh and new those were the days
Dont judge them by this song, the rest of the album is killer!! Bordering on power metal worthy of the name ODIN...this is the only MTV friendly tune on it...the vocals & fretwork smokes!!

Thank god i dont have exquisite taste. 🤣
Man this brings back memories. I saw Odin in the mid 80s at the sunset strip in hollywood. They were playing at Gazzaris. Man I miss those times.
Odin were such a great band from the 80s.. randys voice is pure magic.. 10 out of 10!!!!

Wish I could've been there!
YES! When it was FUN to be on the streets of Hollywood... The kids of today have NO idea how much fun it was back in the 80's

I remember finding this cassette at a sleezy record shop in downtown Minneapolis when that albulm came out!
KILLER!
Wow I can't beleive I'm seeing this! I was a metal vixen in the 80's & would see these guys at clubs. ***MANY HAPPY MEMORIES ***
Thanx so much for posting this! I've always loved this song!!!
Any stories about those days partying on the sunset strip?
I still have this cassette with the sticker of the logo still in the case.
Not many had heard of these guys back then.

hey everyone this song is so good me encanta i was in the concert i have fun
Last time I heard this it was on KNAC in Los Angeles
by far the best quality I've seen for this video. It aired on U68 in New York City back in the day on the Metal Power Hour. Somewhere in my VHS closet i have this video.
Lol that's where I used to watch it too. This was on a big rotation and the Accept video Midnight Mover that probably gave people seizures with that spinning shit lol
I remember KNAC playing this song a couple times and then they never played it again. I never could find this record. Thanks for posting it!
KNAC used to play this song all the time.
awesome song!
WOW I don't why people are giving this band crap. they're pretty good

So FUN!!! I remember seeing these guys at the Rainbow club in Hollywood 1986. They were a lot better live than in this video.
this was the stuff that made me a metal head back then what a good experience for a 17 yr old
i listend to these guys religiously back in 86..ahh the glory!!..anyone have a vid for dont take no for an answer??
Amazing Rock band!
@Rockerchic4God I have so many memories from the strip in the eighties, probaly alot more than i can remember, rock on.
These guys should have made it big. The guitar player actually Amoured Saint. I went to High Schoool with Randy O's cousin Jerry Dixon from Warrant. This is a great song.
Un buen grupo.
one of my top ten songs

“She softly whispers… WE’ll NEVER PART!!!”
so kewl!
Interesting. Thanks.
La Crescenta, yeah dude!
Randy sent me this video. Shawn told me there is an unedited version with the long ending available too.
Love this :)
Don't care that people think they're shit!
my favorite song :)
Last time I heard this it was on KNAC in Los Angeles! They were better than ppl give them credit for
Of course. Record Bar stores actually had a Metal section. I have this LP, and then last year I bought an mp3 release that was "greatest hits" from amazon, but I think it has this entire LP on it.
Ahhh....1984 all over again. Nothin like the Troubadour in Santa Monica!
Cool!...thanks for posting.
KILLER-SONG !!! I have the original EP & many other stuff from this fantastic band.
Great jam!!
Wow Alls I can say is Classic underrated band!
Whatever happened to Odin? Last saw them late 70-80's. & They ran out of their tapes at the show. I miss them!!! Please come see Kallas @ Tampa at Southwest airlines -TIA.. tkt counter.
I remamber reading about them in the Glendale news paper and went to go see them at Gazzarie's.
empezando el día!!
Randy said he WANTED to be as big as Zeppelin.
magnificent :)
Oh man, you need to check out "Don;t Take No for an Answer", and "The Writer". Those are killer songs.
The songs they did on the movie sound better than their Debut CD......JMO

@Marhef77 amazing video and song, long live glam hair hard metal, desde mexico
oh god it's exactly as stu foretold
yeah, I know. They were damn good too. It's a
shame that they broke up. I still say they were the best band in that movie, but you've got to be able to keep it together. That's all there is to it.
Great fucking band.. Odin rocks! \m/
Does anybody know who the drummer and guitar player is
Pero que sonido de guitarras la verdad es muy ochentero...!!!
Alguien sabé si sacaron más discos.
They were the best fucking band in "Decline of
Western Civization 2: The Metal Years". What the fuck happened? They were great!
Oh yeah. And I was at the filming of ...The Metal Years. And whether or not assless chaps are a good thing definitely depends on gender.

when metal was fresh and new those were the days
It's like i'm watching U-68 POWER HOUR again....nice
Dont judge them by this song, the rest of the album is killer!! Bordering on power metal worthy of the name ODIN...this is the only MTV friendly tune on it...the vocals & fretwork smokes!!
Hey Randy How's mom and pop's O. Thanks for The Kick ASs Song!!!
does KNAC still exist and if so do they still play the good stuff?
Does anybody know what these guys are doing for work these days?
Mohawk + Twisted Sister shirt = Trouble
yeah!! what happened??!! they should have been not huge, but a very well known band at least in 2 continents!
The most attractive woman! 3:10
Dude is that place still open I'm moving to Miss, would love to go see. it Brookhaven.
the problem they had was there production thars why many people think they suck they were one of the few glam metal band that were really metal
Thinking Spinal Tap watched a few of these for ideas, glowing eyes and all
This is waaaaay after spinal tap
Pretty clear why they didn’t make it. Even amongst some of the crap that got signed in LA these guys were too horrible.
The riff and solos were great. But the singer, lyrics and melodies were shit.
Just one man's opinion.
they should have stayed in the hot tub.
I've just changed my mind, it is fuckin' hilarious! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!
travestiet?
Spinal Tap??
yea armored saints ok i thought there was 1 with a u in it as well?.....
Who is Bill Johnson?
I'll have to get this song the only other one I know by them is 12 o'clock high
yeah good question like to make contact with him again .
The video is absolutely shocking, but musically the band are great. Sure, they were no Motley Crue, but then neither were Skid Row.
this video makes absolute no sense. It didn't back in 1985 and still doesn't today. But hey that was the 80s.
I miss da cheese metal
"can i use your make-up?"
...... every one of Odin's girlfriends
I loved "hair metal".........but these guys aren't very good.
I guess there was a reason they never made it big.
