This awesome band was highly influenced by Heart, and saw the guitarist Jan do the signature Nancy Wilson high kick. Love, love love women who can rock as hard as men and who are just as talented. My hat comes off to Vixen and all female rockers.
@Josh Traffanstedt from a pure technical perspective, each member was super talented, Jan's vocals are unique, perfect tone and pitch, plus use of distortion, that's the raspy growl, today, there's only one vocal goddess currently touring: Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, seen them 4 times live, worth the money 🤑💰
I so agree with you jerseystar1, there's so much soul in it, so much passion, it's so big and loud and melodic, there's so much PRESENCE to it. Like why wasn't I born in the late 60's dammit?
A great power ballad Janet has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart a great suspenseful video a great underrated song Vixen should be in the rock n roll Hall of Fame. Jan is one of the greatest woman guitar player in hard rock music a great guitar solo Roxy is the best woman drummer in hard rock music. I love you Jan RIP 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🙏🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹

She is one of a kind and listening to her still gives me goose bumps. God I miss the 80's when America was still free and music came from the soul, not some little shits anger issues.
This song is a killer.I love it.The dynamics, the melody and especially Janets gutsy vocal performance.Its a shame there was so much discrimination within the music industry back then.They would have done a lot better.
killer song from all female rock legends vixen. love them. love can be a killer. a real powerful song. this is why 80's was a magic time for bands like vixen. fucking amazing \m/
This is Real music ,real rock n' roll!! The real ROCK N' ROLL can save and help all the humans ! with their feeling and their messages 'cuz , Real Rock n' roll is against the ignorance and all that make us slaves of a materialism and ignorant society.... Vixen = Goddess of Rock n' roll!
Ultimate Rock Balladry !!! Janet's impeccable vocals, the whole bands' musicianship, the inherent quality of the song, the production and of course the girls' beauty (which they still have...) with the image and fashion and outfits and, well, everything is SOOOOOOOOO sumptuous about this... LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT...!!! ...and Jan, you made this all possible...your legacy will always survive...
I remember when I just start to check Vixen's music and this song was (is and will always be) incredibly powerful. Every time I hear it, I feel I have to sing it loudly.
Vixen..what can you say..very underrated.awesome vocals,kickasslead guitar jan..R.i.p,and the harley for drummer set up..bitching awesome..I would melt for Janet in sll that leather..🎸🎶🎵😘😘😍

I miss almost all the music from the 80s. my daughter is 16, and of course she love bvb, my chemical romance, panic at the disco etc. some of the music is good, but come on, I have to give her a lesson on when real music was made. so now my daughter and I have a lot of music that we can share. love vixen,
They will never reunite with the true original members who came to Cali from Minnesota. That was Gayle vocals & guitar, Cindy on keyboard (passed away), Laurie on drums, and Jan Lead Guitarist (passed away). Lineup in this video is Share bass guitar (still playing in Vixen)), Roxy drums (still plays in Vixen), Janet vocals (in a band with her husband Justin), Jan lead guitarist (passed away).

I'm an 80s guy, and female rock bands need to be remembered along with the hair bands. Will we ever see the day? I would love to see the explosion all over again of leather jeans, denim, wicked guitars, high boots, fringed jackets, etc. Nothing beat the days when Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Guns N Roses, White Lion, Lita Ford, and hundreds more came on the scene. There was the beginning, and everyone was a part, and then there was the end.
Born in the 87, but I thank my dad for playing music from the 70s and 80s as I was growing up, and letting me borrow his CD's from the classics (even though he threatened to hang me if I messed them up xD). :D
big fan of the 80s....havent heard this song in almost 20yrs....shame these girls never got further than what they did.....they were better than the bangles or the gogo's ...in my opinion the best all-female band of all time....probably better than quite a few all male bands of any era
Roxy Petrucci with Italien blood, Share Pedersen with Danish blood, Jan Kuehnemund with German blood, in fact, Vixen is a real European hard rock band...
@@legioburonia sorry, Heinz, the European blood is the root of many US Americans, read history books, Mr. Petrucci left Italy to start from scratch in the USA, Roxy is an American woman with European roots, no one loses his own DNA when becoming an US citizen :-)
Englisch I know that Americans have different roots. But look, they're just pure Americans. My ancestors were from the Czech Republic or Slovakia, what do I know, since there are now 2 countries. But I don't think I have any Eastern European blood in me because that was generations ago. I am German with Eastern European roots, and it is the same with VIXXEN.

Who told you that songs have an expiration date?
@@manoliskalergis1367 they don’t!!
This is a great song, you can hear Janet's entire vocal range. An underrated rock ballat. Drums, bass, guitar are all well played.
the whole Album is underrated
Proud of this! Discovered Janet when previous singer Gayle left band & needed a replacement. Fun times! RIP Jan!
One of the best rock ballads of all time. So beautiful...
Heart - Never!
How are these women not in the Rock Hall of Fame? One of the first all female bands, if not the first, and six #1 videos on MTV. Wow.
This awesome band was highly influenced by Heart, and saw the guitarist Jan do the signature Nancy Wilson high kick. Love, love love women who can rock as hard as men and who are just as talented. My hat comes off to Vixen and all female rockers.
Feeling "Heart" vibes with this band!

You know Jan passed away some time ago. Sad loss. God rest her!
@@kevinwalsh4652 Vocals are Janet not Jan. Jan is lead guitarist. Jan passed in 2013 from cancer.
I just found out that we lost Jan bout 5 years ago. Traded licks back and forth with her once. God Rest Her.🙏
So glad I was part of the 80s. The BEST music EVER !!
I hear you brother!!!!
The most competitive era of music.
Reminds me of something ALFRED HITCHCOCK would deliver. VIXEN was/still is a powerhouse of a band!!!!
R.I.P. Jan. We all miss you.
"Only a fool believes it's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Great song. :)
sound familiar of Poison I wont forget you "its better to have lost at love than never to have loved at all.
From Alfred Tennyson.
Great lyrics 🎶
The sooner someone builds a time machine the better. I want to relive my teen years and enjoy all this music all over again. How I miss the 80's
i am glam ... i am free ...i am rock n roll...i am independant and i love Vixen!!!--- best female rock band ever ----
All of Vixen's songs are all high quality songs, this is one of their best.
80's is the best.
Great tune 💕🎶

the 80 were the era of the rock love ballads and vixen made this one which i think is the greatest ,in my book what a era to grow up in

Seriously underrated song!
I have orgasm with this.
that song was not underrated at this times
A beautiful song with Jan's emotional guitar work....perfect.
one of the most beautiful songs of all time VIXEN FOREVER
Keyboard arrangement at the chorus give magic to an already magical song.
Vixen is one of the best bands of the 80s & 90s.. This song is one of the best ballads ever....
I've ben listening to this for 20 plus years. I still get chills down my spine listening to Janet Gardner sing. What a total BAD ASS. Great Band.
True rock'n'roll will never die, no matter how many teen lamers will call themselves rockers.
80s chorus backing harmony vocals - specially in these glam bands - so underappreciated
Magnifica canción de VIxen. Que voz tenia Janet, woh!!!!!!`En la actualidad aún conserva esa pedazo de voz. Bonitos recuerdos aquelos 90´s. Las actuales Vixen ya no són lo ismo: vuelve Janet!!!!!!Share y Roxy.( Jan todavía sigue.)
Only a fool believes
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But I don't wanna take that fall
It's a long long long way down
I'm hurt
Love struck me down again
Enticed me in and pulled the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain I'm asking why
As I'm crying
Should I give it my last try
Or say goodbye
Love is a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killing me
Love so sweetly beckoning
I've seen your face
Called your name
I tasted tears you cried
Lived in shadows in my mind
Frozen here in time
Don't leave me here to die
Love is a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I've got a target on my back
For a…
What can we say about these women, they are great!!!!!

“Love Is A Killer"
Only a fool believes
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
So I don't wanna take that fall
It's a long long long way down
I'm hurt
Love struck me down again
Enticed me in and pulled the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain I'm asking why
As I'm crying
Should I give it my last try
Or say goodbye
Love is a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killing me
Love so sweetly beckoning
I've seen your face
Called your name
I tasted tears you cried
Lived in shadows in my mind
Frozen here in time
Don't leave me here to die
Love is a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I've got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killing me
You fascinate and yet frustrate
Demand so much of me, yeah
I've had enough
It's tearing me up inside
Cross my heart, hope to survive
You got a smoking gun
Well don't shoot my love, no!
You're a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I've got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
Love is a killer, no
Love is a killer, no, no
I got a target on my back
for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killing me
