Heard this again at Metallica's show two days ago (it was playing over the speakers before the second warm-up band showed up). Decided to return here. I heard the first song the first time from Sodom's Agent Orange.
One of my all time favourite bands. They never got the press they deserved at the time. Such a great band. I read all the rock and metal mags during the 80s and I rarely seen them getting a mention ffs. Up there with the best of the best for sure. These guys and Raven. NWOBHM heroes.
Now THIS is the real spirit of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. This is classic Tank, and it still sounds as good today as it ever did. I'd listen to a million NWOBHM bands first before I'd listen to any newer stuff. When it comes to defining the word "timeless", the NWOBHM is simplicity defined.
The first HM Band i have ever seen Live, 09.12.1981, a Wednesday, supporting Motörhead in the Philipshalle/Düsseldorf... Nice to hear them again after decades....
Algy's Tank were one of the earliest and greatest band's of the NWOBHM era. But they were so much more due to Algy's vision for the albums he'd create later. Wakey, Wakey! You've gotta love that opening to Shellshock🤘
hell damm yes awesome little ep gem from one of the best new wave of british heavy metal bands tank, love this band magic 3 piece metal band. love algy ward the singer and base player was a member of the dammed a punk band before these, but here he is a million times better great metal voice too. one of my favourite metal bands too legends. #nwobhmforever 3 gem songs here.
Get down six feet under I wish she would, your fat blanket mother She growls and roars like thunder A mouth so big, the eighth world wonders She wants me to throw her daughter away And pick her up instead Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Yes another cunning plot To get me under her covers Dior stockings and nothing on top She ain't like a normal mother I wish I was a million miles away So I can't hear her say Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't, don't walk away Don't, don't walk away Don't, don't walk away, yeah, yeah, yeah When will this dreadful nightmare end? I really don't want another That fat blanket woman drives me round and bend How can you get lower when Hell is in the gutter? I wish I was a million miles away So I can't hear her say Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away
You know it!! I don't know if you were there for the original day like I was, but if you weren't and decided to catch up on all the great tunes that the NWOBHM sent our way. A real time of fierce, energetic DIY attitude that made it's mark for sure!
I have the original E.P. and the vocals sound different here, like a different take? The E.P is rediculously loud aswell, one of loudest records I own :)
The first song I heard of tank.wonderful racket.saw them support diamond head at Glasgow apollo. Went down like pile of shit but I loved them. Wakey wakey
Ahhh...sounds like lead singer of Waysted...I like Tank...despite never hearing of them till recently...back in the day...this would have been a purchase...
Damn straight. Before Metallica and the American scene, the NWOBHM was making big waves that still crash with just as much might today as they did then. The NWOBHM will never get old!

RIP Algy. LIke your brilliant music, you'll never be forgotten...

RIP Algy Ward. One of the best metal 7" ep's of all times!
R.I.P ALGY WARD 😢
RIP ALGY! Legend!

Kain Nosgoth Tank and diamond head very good bands
raptor jesus Right you are my friend. The NWOBHM is a classic time and the music is still as good now as it was then!
+Kain Nosgoth And tons of bands make it in the same vein these days. NWOBHM will never die.
Allen Ellsworth NWOBHM will never die; damn right man! Great time great music!
Wasn’t someone from The Damned in this band? Both are very good and this sounds very borderline punk.
Rest In Power Algy

Nice one. I got into Tank about 83. I would have sold my soul to see them. Such a great band.
Epic concert! Same week Welcome to Hell was release!
thought I would check this out cuz I been listening to the cover by Sodom...very good!
Me too \,,/
yep, same here. 40 years later now. I was wondering who made the original song. what made tom angelripper cover this...?🤔
Tank are original
I prefer this version of Shellshock to the album. Really killer!
0:00 Don't Walk Away ( non L.P.)
3:08 Shellshock ( alt. version to L.P.)
5:30 Hammer On ( non L.P.)
thx!

Rabid Gearboy which one?
Algy was also a member of legends THE DAMNED, and THE SAINTS.
Cool track!
Had just been knowing the cover by Sodom 🌳
Saw Tank supporting Motorhead at Runcton Pavillion. That was a night to remember!
Get down six feet under
I wish she would, your fat blanket mother
She growls and roars like thunder
A mouth so big, the eighth world wonders
She wants me to throw her daughter away
And pick her up instead
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Yes another cunning plot
To get me under her covers
Dior stockings and nothing on top
She ain't like a normal mother
I wish I was a million miles away
So I can't hear her say
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't, don't walk away
Don't, don't walk away
Don't, don't walk away, yeah, yeah, yeah
When will this dreadful nightmare end?
I really don't want another
That fat blanket woman drives me round and bend
How can you get lower when Hell is in the gutter?
I wish I was a million miles away
So I can't hear her say
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I don't know when to stop; I just can't get enough!
CHINGONA BAND
RIP Algy :(
One of the best recordings in rock music's history!
You know it!! I don't know if you were there for the original day like I was, but if you weren't and decided to catch up on all the great tunes that the NWOBHM sent our way. A real time of fierce, energetic DIY attitude that made it's mark for sure!
SHOW NO MERCY 🇧🇷👍
LOVE. These. Guys.!!!!!
Wish. I. Seen them !!!!
I have the original E.P. and the vocals sound different here, like a different take? The E.P is rediculously loud aswell, one of loudest records I own :)
what a good sound !!!!!
best years of Métal !!!!
I wish I was a teen at London in the early 80's
me too
Or a teen on the bay area in the 80s, a teen in Florida in the 90s, a teen on Norway in the 90s or a teen in Sweden in the 90s
@@russell2890 or a teen in ruhr area in 80s. I would have loved to see Tom Angelripper drive around in his pink car.
@@russell2890 The 90s were shit it was polluted with hip hop RnB grunge dance music
deserved to go along way, very underrated band.
Covid got them too, eh?
The intro of Hammer On reminds me of Thunderstruck. Actually, the other way around since Hammer On was released much earlier.
it remembers me the intro of opression by a NWOBHM band Satan
Reminds me of am i evil
Rest in Peace Algy Ward...
The first song I heard of tank.wonderful racket.saw them support diamond head at Glasgow apollo. Went down like pile of shit but I loved them. Wakey wakey

Damn straight. Before Metallica and the American scene, the NWOBHM was making big waves that still crash with just as much might today as they did then. The NWOBHM will never get old!
Puro motorhead
Bollox... a trace of Motörhead, a dash of punk... but at least 80% original TANK.
That's why we need a wall.
Heavily influenced by Motörhead, but NOT them.
Satisfacoes head bangers
