    This is FUCKING FANTASTIC!!
    Holyshit!! This is not an easy song to play!! Rhythmic dynamics; key modulations; difficult melody - these guys are ALL OVER IT!! Tight AZFUQ!!
    Man there was some really great music in the 80s!!
    WTF happened?

    What a magical time to be alive, trying to describe this period in the 80's to the current generation is almost impossible, And it's hard to believe it just kept getting better and better..

    • @walterspaceman5592
      @walterspaceman5592 7 месяцев назад

      Dear @hoosierfatha you are just unlucky in this shit time you reside in. But as all things do not despair the pendulum always swings back,,,,,always. You'll get to scream and party lik we mad, it will happen with parades, and joy exploding right after Trumps first conviction. National holidays, and much music like this . Have faith baby. Best wishes.

    80's Big hair, skinny ties & vests... I miss songs like this... hell, I really miss the 80's! This is such a deep, sad song that crosses over from tragic to something else, that still haunts me to this day, over thirty years later.

      @@MetalAaron I remember that & I used to watch it all the time. It was probably flagged by the copyright owners and removed by YT though. I've had the same thing happen to me and it's incredibly annoying. Especially when it's something this rare & imposible to buy or see elsewhere.

    When I saw this movie in 1986 it blew me away. Possibly one of the best movies ever alongside Apocalypse Now, HEAT etc but with the soundtrack as well it's just a total gem. Wilhem Dafoe made his debut in this as did the CSI Vegas head of unit.
