This is song is a perfect example of everything that was perfect about 80's hard rock/"glam" rock. A catchy AF riff, a sing along chorus, a shredding but tasteful solo....and all preformed by musicians who embraced the role of "rock star". Why is the music business struggling in the U.S.? Because we don't have rock stars here any more.
The recording industry decided they could have easily manageable beta male types to make boring music. What a lot of people don't realize all these rock bands from the '80s and I loved growing up in the 80s. These were tough men these guys work their asses off went through poverty fighting all kinds of stuff and when they made it big they made it big the recording industry may have taken him for granted sometimes the first time but not the second time these guys were not easily managed by a bunch of recording losers
Thanks to the new generation of musically clueless, greed driven, music industry cooperation penguins, force feeding us talentless flash in the pan fakes for so many friggin years now...
Still Have All Album CD's,Some Cassettes,T-Shirt & Hat Too.Worth Buying. Awesome Good Old Days & WONDERFUL Memories. Epic Powerful Voices & Masterpiece Songs Forever Guyz. Appreciate It. 🙂😎😍🙄✌🤘👍👏👊👌❤🔊🎧🔥💯🔁👋.Anyone Still Playing This In 2023?.
We need you guy's and music like it?? This music was fun and uplifting and the 80's had a wide variety as well ?? Glad I grew up with it!!!! The masses need to hear the music??? Their is a market for it?? Country is rock at this time?? Think about it people??
Music such as this was the heart-beat of American youth in the 80's and early 90's. We get to revisit our youth and regain the same feelings of living in a supreme time in music history. Thank you for keeping this music alive and well. We don't choose to let it go.
This song still kicks ass in 2019. It is the first song I listen to when I log onto my computer. 54 years old and I am still a head banger, metal head, whatever term you want to use
@@Brand73 Everyone is not breaking motley crue’s records in 88-89 underrated... just a few years earlier and these guys actually would have been just as big as the big bands. World class musicians that could play just as good live. Unfortunately grunge ended it, plus the guitar player Marc left a tour so he could be present for the birth of his daughter. So they replaced him with some guy that could do the covers but didnt deliver beyond just trying to play Marc’s parts. And it seems like Terry is still upset at Marc for prioritizing family over fame.
That is simply the best " put - together music i have ever heard in my life. It's magical! What great work and chemistry with this fantastic band! I will die of old age with this song going through my head. ❤❤❤
Just saw XYZ saturday night and they are still great!!! New young guitarist is really good! Really enjoyed the show! Terry Ilous, you still got it my man!
Terry, just watched your show at Diesels Concert Lounge in New Baltimore , MI. What great memories from the late 70's and 80's. Probably the greatest era for rock music. Miss it dearly. What a time to be a young rocker.
Still enjoy tyhis oner, 55 now and can remember the week this hit the air.. Thank you Terry ILOUS, Keep it real and rocking. From the home of KSHE-95 Saint Louis Best Rock station since 1967 and been listening since "75"
They sure don't make music like this anymore, and the lead singer is a super hunk not to mention his flaming voice!! Brings back so many happy memories of my youth!
One of the catchiest tunes of the eighties, and one of my favorites, dam what a time to be young and into Rock and Roll just listen to that guitar solo and the melody, just all around bad ass.
I use that song as one of a few key demos for my mind blowing, awesome 9 speaker Klipsch, Definitive Technology TRINITY SuperCube sub, and SonyES powered theater room system.
That guitar looks exactly like my modded Kramer Baretta Special! NICE! On the top of my list of best guitars I've bought. Especially under 200 bucks! ROCK ON!
Mark has a video on RUclips about it. He didn't use the guitar to record the song because it sounded like shit. But he played it in the video. Mick Mars ended up with it and routed out the body to add another pup for Theater of Pain album
Rock N Roll will live forever. I play it all the time. I don't care who's around. This is real music with real musicians who actually play instruments. Great lyrics, great vocals, great musicianship.This is real music and not that junk you hear in the stations.
Just heard this song on D’s House of Hair for the first time. You all deserved WAY more recognition !! Amazing! Reminds me of back in the day, when I was married to Felix Hanemann the bass player for Zebra. The live music scene was so incredible. The world has no idea what they are missing!!
I'm so blessed to have been in my teen's and twenties during the 80's. You're so right that today's genaration has no idea what the world of so called music has drifted away from. Keep on rocking babe.
One of the BEST songs cranked up with the car windows all the way down driving in the summertime. This has always been one of my all time fave songs by any band
Most of the bands people refer to as '80s bands started in the '70s, but no doubt '70s and '80s were both great for rock music.. the first reply or says we wrote,, who is we???
Jesus H. Christ Mark was an incredible guitarist.What a killer riff.These are the kind of songs that lead to speeding tickets when cruising down the interstate...\m/.
Such a great, underrated band. Guitar player is awesome. Great licks and super clean. They would have been a lot bigger had they came out 5 years earlier.
This stuff needs to return... and i'm not talking the Darkness or Steel Panther to exaggerate it and turn it into a joke... this shit was great music to party to!!!
I'm 53. Rainbow Rising and Highway To Hell where my first records when I was 10, the 80s where the best era for good foot stomping hip swinging slow poke rock. That is a great fucking tune
Here is is 2021 this song stills is one of the best hard rock songs. XYZ Great band never got the fame they deserved .Mark Diglios is such a killer guitarist sadly not many people know of him.
WHO KNEW IN "89" THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE END OF A DECADE OF THE BEST BANDS, & HAVING FUN. CAN HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? MAN I HOPE SO BEFORE I GET TO OLD. "85" GREAT TIMES......................
So glad you did.Changed my life too. And after all this time holds up and sounds better then ever.Such a bad ass band and the guitar skills are dope to understate the obvious.
These guys were freaking awesome. Saw them in Long Beach when I was in the NAVY in 1989, just blew me away. I think it was still Joey on lead guitar at that time, but not sure. The whole hair-metal scene ended when it was just starting to get good. 1989, you had more than just the "W's" (Warrant / Winger / Whitesnake) you had all of these more-epic bands coming in to play (XYZ / Enuff Z'nuff, Slaughter, Trixter) all of the more "good-times / good tunes" bands. I really miss those days. Thanks to Terry and the guys for making my early NAVY years a bit more awesome! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Guitar tone is incredible.
Indeed it is!
Agreed

Bingo! Shit is still huge in South America, Europe, Asia. Talking into a mic with samples is the in thing now.

@@WhatsCookingTime Nu metal was created, to have child friendly highly commercial rock music and "rock stars" like Fred Durst
Thanks to the new generation of musically clueless, greed driven, music industry cooperation penguins, force feeding us talentless flash in the pan fakes for so many friggin years now...

Man these were the good old days with these jams. These songs never get old.🎸🎤
Such a hugely underrated 1980s metal song, like intense, with a totally addictive chorus.
Still pounding XYZ 2021.
I miss this kind of music its the best!!!
This song still kicks ass in 2019. It is the first song I listen to when I log onto my computer. 54 years old and I am still a head banger, metal head, whatever term you want to use
Almost 60 here and yes, 80's Hair Metal was the best era for rock imo.

Whenever i listen to this, so does the whole fuckin neighborhood!
XYZ are highly underrated. This album and Hungry are phenomenal!
everyone is underrated
....some may be "over-rated"...?

Under rated? No way everyone knew who these guys were tons of air play
You Nailed It!
One of the best opening riffs to send chills down your spine!
Nice.. Barclay...
Thats my guitar teacher!! Mr Diglio is still awesome 36 years later!!
Every time I hear this I have to grab my guitar and jam that opening riff.... this song still kicks ass in 2023... 😉
That is simply the best " put - together music i have ever heard in my life. It's magical! What great work and chemistry with this fantastic band! I will die of old age with this song going through my head. ❤❤❤
It's magical alright. The 80s had so much magic.
Incredible song 😊
Just saw XYZ saturday night and they are still great!!! New young guitarist is really good! Really enjoyed the show! Terry Ilous, you still got it my man!
You guys, your music changed many peoples lives 💛😊
80s easily the best decade of musicians .... Metal rules 🤘🎸
One of my favorite singers from the 80's, Terry had that great combination of bluesy tenor and clarity we all wanted in our bands back then
Terry, just watched your show at Diesels Concert Lounge in New Baltimore , MI. What great memories from the late 70's and 80's. Probably the greatest era for rock music. Miss it dearly. What a time to be a young rocker.
My 5 year grandson asked me what band did I rock out to when I was growing up. I played this song for him and now you have a fan for life 🤘😁🤘
Still enjoy tyhis oner, 55 now and can remember the week this hit the air.. Thank you Terry ILOUS, Keep it real and rocking. From the home of KSHE-95 Saint Louis Best Rock station since 1967 and been listening since "75"

Thank you ! Now build a time machine and get us back where we belong !!!
No sir.....thank you! The 80's rocked and still do because of bands like XYZ! Great music, great sound and great vocals
When my stepbrother moved here from Arizona in 1989 he had this on cassette in a 71 firebird. I "borrowed" it.
Thanks for the memories. You guys kicked ass. I got laid to y'alls shit more than I can remember 🤪
Seventies hard rock was legendary, eighties Metal was awesome. Great times to be a metal head.
Can't believe it's 2023 and I've only just discovered this awesome band🤟 Thanks RUclips
They sure don't make music like this anymore, and the lead singer is a super hunk not to mention his flaming voice!! Brings back so many happy memories of my youth!

2024, who's still rocking XYZ!?!?!?
Yesss!

Big part of my partying nights when this came out and them Saturday nights watching Headbangers Ball

Smells like teen spirit was right around the corner killing off the best decade of fun ever!!
2024 and I just bought this on iTunes!! Gotta love that hair metal!!
I used to work with Mark in Albuquerque, New Mexico selling windows and doors!
He was a really cool guy!🤘🤘🤘
@@ernieherrera1034
I used to see them here in ABQ a lot! Long Live XYZ
WOw....same exact guitar sound I had playing in 80s bands. Love this tune!
Hard driving tune no doubt
Consistently, one of my leading examples of what guitar should be. One of the best riffs ever. Major props.
As good today as it was back in the day..ROCK ON..
WHEN THIS ALBUM CAME OUT ..I BOUGHT IT RIGHT UP...OUTSTANDING TUNES👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rock N Roll will live forever. I play it all the time. I don't care who's around. This is real music with real musicians who actually play instruments. Great lyrics, great vocals, great musicianship.This is real music and not that junk you hear in the stations.

Reminds me of back in the day, when I was married to Felix Hanemann the bass player for Zebra.
The live music scene was so incredible. The world has no idea what they are missing!!
As a true music fan, as soon as you mentioned Felix Hanemann, I knew you had good taste! Both XYZ and Zebra were rock central when I was younger.
Best solo from an exit 123..1.213. .....❤❤❤❤❤😂🎉❤❤🎉😂🎉😢😮😮😮😅😊
Thanks Terry for this amazing tune. Steve 👍
Awesome song. Love that Red Charvel guitar. So fitting for the time. They still rock today.
I remember watching xyz on mtv, great music love this song. Miss the 80's so much
Extremely underrated band.
Not even....the meaning of underrated doesnt describe these guys.
The riffs make you go nutzz , terrific
I'm 53 and It seems difficult to find such a band nowadays. 80s really rocked.
Mammoth WVH - Eddie's kid's band. Check em out. You won't be disappointed
Riffs and beat and great vocals = XYZ Dancing around a bonfire in the wilds of Wyoming in 89...perfect.
Ahhh the parties back in those days, these kids have no idea how the 80's were.
I'm so blessed to have been in my teen's and twenties during the 80's. You're so right that today's genaration has no idea what the world of so called music has drifted away from. Keep on rocking babe.
Every party comes to an end.
Now it's hangover time. 😀
It was such a fun decade. I go back every once in a while.
I was there...
What was different apart from the music.
One of the BEST songs cranked up with the car windows all the way down driving in the summertime. This has always been one of my all time fave songs by any band
This one has it all. The riff, the lyrics, and hot babes 🤘
Grew up with this cassette & still blasting it in 2020! When I'm feeling down it's either XYZ or Dokken to pull me back up!
This was the best era in hard rock music. The professionalism and image was outstanding. Best song writing and melodies from this era as well.
Most of the bands people refer to as '80s bands started in the '70s, but no doubt '70s and '80s were both great for rock music.. the first reply or says we wrote,, who is we???

Been there done that
almost 35yrs ago i said holi sh/t...in 2023 im still sayin holi sh/t...the riff, the solo...so epic!
One of the best songs and music of all times 😍
Such a great, underrated band. Guitar player is awesome. Great licks and super clean. They would have been a lot bigger had they came out 5 years earlier.
Exactly, they came too late
They were a copycat band with a big label hoping to cash in on the trend of pretty boy hair metal. Unfortunately, it didn't work for either party.
A copycat of whom, exactly?
This stuff needs to return... and i'm not talking the Darkness or Steel Panther to exaggerate it and turn it into a joke... this shit was great music to party to!!!
Dan Maginnis I used to think that I do not like it anymore,but there is just something about this kind of music that makes you feel good.
Srdjan Bošnjak Its because it's pop music, its pop disguised as hard rock
I wish pop sounded like this lol
Dan Maginnis Same here
Check out Pretty Wild, Lipstixx N Bullets, Santa Cruz, De La Cruz, Miss Behaviour, and most importantly Wig Wam.
XYZ...ROCKS 😝😝😝
Wow, this brings back memories.
Brings back old buzzes.....Its too bad we all have to get old
I'm 53. Rainbow Rising and Highway To Hell where my first records when I was 10, the 80s where the best era for good foot stomping hip swinging slow poke rock. That is a great fucking tune
Great memories and flashbacks....to a MUCH better time in this country. Thank you!
Loved hearing this again. ❤️
Went through Wikipedia, and found that this group has quite a history. Lovely music with great talents coming together. This song is pretty cool, too.
TY Sirius XM Hair nation for introducing me to this band!!!!
Miss the days of the big guitar riff..and rippin solos...great tune..
Trent Oleksuik How cool XYZ was always a great band!
Incredible guitar tone
The best days ever
Ahhhh Trent buddy!!! Me too! Funny seeing you comment on the same stuff I do! Cheers!
@@laurenkosanovich6159 funny how that goes eh! Miss ya Lauren, hope things are good!
Badass those quicky songs are usually the best
These guys were and are still so good. Great melody and smoking guitar work throughout this entire lp. After the Rain is such a beautiful song.
80's chicks ruled! There is no doubt.
Yeah... but that blow dried frizzy look was ridiculous.
Oh ya we did .. i'm a 80's girl 100%..i still am and i'm still hot..i wish I could build a time machine and go back..and never leave.. take care
Yeah!!!
Damn right they did!!!!
80 chicks just gave up the pussy! I guess that might of been a problem .. Right?
Here is is 2021 this song stills is one of the best hard rock songs. XYZ Great band never got the fame they deserved .Mark Diglios is such a killer guitarist sadly not many people know of him.
Xyz should still be putting out awesome music like everything you all did before. The world may be ready for your sound. You all rock.
WHO KNEW IN "89" THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE END OF A DECADE OF THE BEST BANDS, & HAVING FUN.
CAN HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? MAN I HOPE SO BEFORE I GET TO OLD. "85" GREAT TIMES......................
Loved it then love it now.
Won a couple of dollars in a trivia challenge the other night.
Some of us "old timers" still crank up the good stuff.
3.07 chills , superb guitar player. Superb riff running through the whole song 🤘🏻
Loved this album and the one that followed. They were absolutely brilliant. Steve 🎸👍
This song is total kick it in the ass guitar rock. The solo riff is so clean, just badass music.
absolutely
Holy sh*t, completely forgot about this band, instantly remembered the song after heading it again, haha.
terry iilous great vocalist, what pipes! this and hh boogie on hungry album are my favorite Xyz tracks.
When rock & roll ruled! Great song!
Awesome band saw them live in Akron Ohio before the first album was ever realeased great fuckin show and loud as fuck
Awesome guitar riffs. I used to turn that up at 3:05 as loud as I could in my old Pontiac. Really miss those days
I miss the 80’s...metal cranked to ten blowin the speakers::::babes in daisy dukes...drinking til dawn...not a care in the world...best of times
Please take me back to the '80's. The best times ever!!!!
Who’s here with me in 2020....
Never gets old
Forever!
I will be in the 80s until I die.
Till death do us part

Hey man old school Dirty A listening since 72 A won't ever hear music like that anymore A Great Tune A!
Man I sure do miss the 80's !!!!! Love the guitar tone - probably why those Mike Moran Pre-amps are no where to be found !!!!
were have you been,,if you have never hear XYZ,,damn it
So glad you did.Changed my life too.
And after all this time holds up and sounds better then ever.Such a bad ass band and the guitar skills are dope to understate the obvious.
These guys were freaking awesome. Saw them in Long Beach when I was in the NAVY in 1989, just blew me away. I think it was still Joey on lead guitar at that time, but not sure. The whole hair-metal scene ended when it was just starting to get good. 1989, you had more than just the "W's" (Warrant / Winger / Whitesnake) you had all of these more-epic bands coming in to play (XYZ / Enuff Z'nuff, Slaughter, Trixter) all of the more "good-times / good tunes" bands. I really miss those days.
Thanks to Terry and the guys for making my early NAVY years a bit more awesome! YOU GUYS ROCK!
Killer voice...killer guitar....🤘🤘🤘
Bad ass tune!!! One of my favorites from this time.
When the guitar vocalist and rhythm synchronize.Perfection.
