Paul is one of the greatest rock vocalists that's completely under appreciated. Plus he's a really cool person. Rough Cutt was such an amazing band. Love them
I had the honor of playing with Paul in North Hollywood in the early 90's and not only is he the most amazing vocalist but a really great person as well.Still kicking ass!!!
Saw these badasses open for Dio in '85. Shortino was doing this blues call and response thing and I could hear his voice from the stage BEFORE it came out of the PA. Fucking LUNGS!!!
I had this album on cassette,(1985) it stayed in my car my whole senior year... Great album. Thanx for posting these videos... brings back good memories. HMD
I've still got thi album on vinyl. Amir From this band was later in that band Orgie or orgy (however you spell it.) who redid that "how does it feel" song by new order. These guys rocked.
Shortino is great, but can we appreciate how ahead of the time this band as a whole was? Like, it's the mid-80's and Amir is already doing '90's industrial-alt metal guitar grooves here.
That industrial alt metal is the reason metal gone shit..it open the floodgates for possers like those people who want to rap and likes hip hop but they want the coolnesz of a metal so there you go nu metal was born and they dominate...anyway thats good becouse it separate the true lover of hardrock music to those who like lil wane,rihanna and at the same time want an anthrax..
Paul with a voice to die for.. well his hair isnt too bad either ! haha.. well 80s rocked. One of my close friends, was one of their main roadies. Mike Marlett.. anyone know where he is? Guess maybe if he does the net he may see this and post.

They werr a killer band hell yeah 👍👍👍 better than motley clowns 🤡🤡🤡 Chris and Amir beyond killer guitar player's 💯🤘🤘🤘 im glad i got to see them in their prime 🤘🤘🤘🤘
For all you metal hungry! Sting played next, 1st MTV world wide event. 500,000 crowd. Check out the drummer, Rockin Dave in his other two bands. google myspace kryme and see his top friend MOD EV.
You want to hear something funny,,I know a guy here in my town who used to sound just as raspy as this guy,,he had an incredible vocal range,,sounded like a cross between Robert Plant and Janis joplin..
Okay. I checked out 4 cuts fro this band. Even when Metal was on it's 1980s high, I never heard of this band and I thinks it's because they're bunch of boneheads with music you could only enjoy as background music at a bar while drunk...
One of the best 80s singers and one of the most Underrated too.
Dio found these guys and it’s amazing they never really took off.
chills... best opening act I ever saw
Paul Shortino has such an underappreciated voice. This performance is bone-chilling.
You called this!!!!!! Yeah, this is one of the best live performances in every category--haunting!
SO TRUE!
Definitely
An absolute MONSTER!!
Underrated for sure!
One of my favorite singers ugggghhh a voice to die for 😮 so powerful sexy and precise a man who can call down all the Angeles in Heaven 🎉
Damn, Paul is in my top 10 vocalists list of all time period!
Shortino is a BEAST !!
This band was so freaking good.. Still love'em now and listen to them often.
Great vocal and great musicians.🤘🤘🤘
Paul is one of the greatest rock vocalists that's completely under appreciated. Plus he's a really cool person. Rough Cutt was such an amazing band. Love them
The guitar tones are sick...and Double Trouble! Shortino long on ethereal tone! Wow!!!
One of the best bands and vocalist from that era. They should have been HUGE!!
This band kicks ass. I don't understand why they never made it big
The best bands aren't the most popular .. .
They even got a Music video from Warner, I think the Scene for Glam bands were just too full, and Thrash Metal took over lol.
I remember a few videos. Oh well it’s over anyway
@frisbeeshawn5356 this is SOOO TRUE!!
@@jye_24true.. but these guys were different.
So glad I saw these guys with DIo. And that I have this on original vinyl. Kick ass!!! 13 dislikes!! get a life!!
Agreed (on those dislikes) wtf
Yeah, saw that tour in Philly. Dio's protege
Blazing band. God I miss the 80s. especially the mid 80s.
@@geolinkin6579 Me too!!
I mean for me, Paul Shortino was a new and way improved version of Joplin.
@@geolinkin6579 I agree
Paul...UNBELIEVABLE PIPES!!!
I had the honor of playing with Paul in North Hollywood in the early 90's and not only is he the most amazing vocalist but a really great person as well.Still kicking ass!!!
totally agree!
Captain's Cabin or FM Station?
@@michaelschmidt9708 Captains Cabin with Paul. I played the FM Station a bunch with The Other Half doing there Smut stuff. Good times!!
Good times indeed,@@jerlu69
Wow amazing! He and Ray Gillen the best.
We must have very similar taste! Both brilliant! Best from that era!
What a great voice! Very underrated band. They smoked a lot of other bands from the 80s.
That guy can sing!
Slow but Heavy, my favourite song from the debut album.
I looked on their debut album couldn't see black widow any ideas?
@@FighterPilot1945#6 of 10
Wendy Dio included in writing credits
Vocal maravilhosoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Shortino, what can i say ...11/10
Great band. One of my favorite vocalists.
Awesome,awesome,awesome....such a great band.
Saw these badasses open for Dio in '85. Shortino was doing this blues call and response thing and I could hear his voice from the stage BEFORE it came out of the PA. Fucking LUNGS!!!
same here...the spectrum in Philly. this guy's voice gives me chills. what a badass song. the guitars are mesmerizing!
What an amazing singer!!
This whole fucking band! Holy shit. They did not mess around.
I had this album on cassette,(1985) it stayed in my car my whole senior year... Great album.
Thanx for posting these videos... brings back good memories.
HMD
Paul Shortino ia a Master!!!!
This video and sound quality are insane.
He had a voice that was perfect for Rough Cutt. This was one of my favorite songs.
Such great footage from an awesome time.
You know I might have my metal credintials revolked but I always dug the hell out of this singer,,he's got an incredible voice..
Not at all.... The guy's awesome! 🤘
What a great singer!!
Russ Hasty. That is YOU on the drums!
Best song ever!!
I met Rough Cutt, in NYC. I have shirt with their signatures. They rock.
Sorry about your experience.
That Jackson Kelly is for sale on EBay right now !! Would LOVE TO HAVE IT! What a beautiful Jackson King Kelly..
Never got the credit they deserved!
Love to have the whole show...damn!!!!!
Great sounding bass tone!
Everything I come back to this I say to Self. This is bad effing ass beyond belief!
Where is this entire concert? One of the best !!!!!!
love this band, love this song, love the down tuned sound
I've still got thi album on vinyl. Amir From this band was later in that band Orgie or orgy (however you spell it.) who redid that "how does it feel" song by new order. These guys rocked.
Shortino had a unique voice. The first album is great top to bottom!
Yeah, a masterpiece! They did get a little soft with each album after, but we got this to keep us going for another 30 years!
La excelente voz de Paul Shortino, muy particular, fue el gran reemplazo en Quiet Riot de Kevin DuBarrow
It always cracked me up that Amir Derahk later played in the lightweight goth pop band Orgy during the late 90's.
Shortino is great, but can we appreciate how ahead of the time this band as a whole was? Like, it's the mid-80's and Amir is already doing '90's industrial-alt metal guitar grooves here.
That industrial alt metal is the reason metal gone shit..it open the floodgates for possers like those people who want to rap and likes hip hop but they want the coolnesz of a metal so there you go nu metal was born and they dominate...anyway thats good becouse it separate the true lover of hardrock music to those who like lil wane,rihanna and at the same time want an anthrax..
You are right!!! These guys rocked!!! Paul Shortino is also a very underatted vocalist! Check out the Quiet Riot video where he is singing!
Yeah!
Shortino has the same blues rock sound to his voice as David Coverdale. This guy can belt with the best of them.
Fuckin A....listened to this back in the day
Amir Derakh!!!
they were awesome,wish i had the cd expensive as hell on ebay
sweet vid!
Paul with a voice to die for.. well his hair isnt too bad either ! haha.. well 80s rocked.
One of my close friends, was one of their main roadies. Mike Marlett.. anyone know where he is?
Guess maybe if he does the net he may see this and post.
i so agree
@HevyMetlDave me too!!!
What concert is this from? Is there a full length video or DVD available?
pretty heavy
She whines and twines
From her silken bed
She wines and dines
The woman must be fed
Lips open on
In her kiss of death
She'll take it all
Till there's nothing left
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
The trial of fire
Leads me to her web
A burning, burning desire
Lures me to her bed
The fires of darkness
That locks me within
This evil woman
She knows no sin
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
A trail of fire
Leads me to her web
She'll eat you alive
The widow must be fed
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
Black widow
Black widow
Your credentials are fine, a lot of the vocalists of the time kicked ass.
This is almost doom metal! It rocks!
it is
What happened to these guys?
derrrp!!!
They werr a killer band hell yeah 👍👍👍 better than motley clowns 🤡🤡🤡 Chris and Amir beyond killer guitar player's 💯🤘🤘🤘 im glad i got to see them in their prime 🤘🤘🤘🤘
The issue with RC was that their second album, Wants You was a flop. After 1987 they were gone.
The bands name is Rough Cutt, not Black Widow. Thats the name of the song.
For all you metal hungry!
Sting played next, 1st MTV world wide event.
500,000 crowd. Check out the drummer, Rockin Dave in his other two bands. google myspace kryme and see his top friend MOD EV.
A gem. Thank you a lot
How tf dose a band called quite riot get big but not these guys.
You want to hear something funny,,I know a guy here in my town who used to sound just as raspy as this guy,,he had an incredible vocal range,,sounded like a cross between Robert Plant and Janis joplin..
two words- Music industry.
Dude replaced Dubrow in Quiet Riot.. album was great.. unfortunately Riot fans already had their hearts won.
Is Jake E Lee in this preformance?
buen tema no
Too bad there not as good as they think they are. There is a title for music like this "weak rock"
U suck
Okay. I checked out 4 cuts fro this band. Even when Metal was on it's 1980s high, I never heard of this band and I thinks it's because they're bunch of boneheads with music you could only enjoy as background music at a bar while drunk...
