Their album 'Thundersteel' is pure energy from the begin till the end. That's how speed/power metal should sound. One of the greatest speed/power metal albums ever! This album has nothing similar to Glam whoever wrote such a comment.
Riot should have been huge. I love both their Hard Rock era, and especially their Power Metal era big time. Thundersteel is a MASTERPIECE!!! It is easily my favorite Riot album. The lineup is insanely amazing. Tony Moore in my opinion is the best lead singer Riot ever had. The power of his singing always gives me chills. Riot should have been a huge band playing in arenas and stadiums all over the world. That is how amazing they are in my opinion.
"Time has changed the seasons And I will go on with no reason I feel my life slipping away These streets are getting colder And I am growing older Tomorrow seems so far away" Sheer Lyrical Brilliance!!!
I love the whole album THUNDERSTEEL big time. Every song on it is a MASTERPIECE. It is easily one of the greatest albums that I have ever listened to. Riot should have been a huge massive band headlining in arenas and stadiums all over the world. Their music is that amazing to me.
RIOT and Helloween...... maybe two most consistent Power Metal bands in history....... both still going strong and making great metal...... that last album with Mark Reale was truly fantastic R.I.P.
Riot, the most noble warrior of american Heavy Rock, I salute you from Paraguay and thank you for your great music. Mark Reale is a true knight of eletric guitar
The mighty genius Mark Reale..Thank you for the Greatest rock Album ever. Let your Thundersteel run Riot and Storm the Gates of Hell. R.I.P. brother in metal.
always so sad to see one of your guitar heroes/80's metal stars pass away....it reminds me of how old I'm already getting and how short life really is......RIP Mark.
I remember turning on head bangers ball and seeing this come on. Great stuff. My old school mate Bobby Jarzombeck is playing drums on this. Keep on rockin Bobby!
I remember being into this band as a kid and taping headbangers ball on a vhs tape every weekend. Then wakin up playin the tape and seeing if they played a riot video..(no youtube back then).. Never happened..kept recording over that tape..then one day they played this video...was like i couldnt believe it..... never taped again on that vhs tape again.
Steve Harris was also a huge Queensryche fan back in the 80's...... saw him wearing "Rage For Order" tshirt in some old interview...... funny, since Maiden was one of Queensryche's main influences :D at least early on
It's a damn shame that this video didn't get more air play on headbangers ball. I was a fan before I even knew they had a video fur any of the songs off this tape back in the day, and I watched HBB every weekend, and was shocked to see this come on one night, then never saw it played again.
Classic, brilliant and beautiful writing...this has always been one of my favorite Riot songs. Top notch musicianship. To this day, they remain one of metal's most underappreciated bands...
Thundersteel was their Magnum Opus...Great band who stayed true to their Metal roots throughout their lengthy and illustrious career.RIP Guy Speranza and Rhett Forester.
hola man,riot es de lo mejor que he escuchado en toda mi vida,la mayoria de la gente no entiende el poder que transmiten estas rolas,yo encontre este grupo hace como....muchos años,de pura casualidad en el chopo,la neta lo tocaba muchas veces a la semana y nunca me aburria,ahun tengo el cassette!!!! saludotes.
If you love "real music" and this obviously isn't it, then why are you on here bashing what we regard as real music? Just like to piss people of, huh? Well this song is great. I love AOR/melodic rock, brings back memories for me!
Within the brief hours of your life here on earth, you gave me faith in the darkest hours; you shall live in my memory until the call of my own destiny. Take thy sleep brother Mark.
Tony Moore is the BEST singer this awesome band has ever had period, i'm sorry but this album & my favorite album by Riot - "Privilege of Power" 1990 .......NONE of Riot's other singers come remotely close to Tony's melodic power.
If you want to make these comparisons, it's your prerogative. I think it's asinine to do so, though. This ain't a sports competition. Guy Speranza had a distinct vocal style and he had such earthshaking charisma. Rhett Forrester is also a fabulously wild, totally freakin' killer singer-frontman // Are we gonna compare Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin and Ozzy Osborne or Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, Axl Rose and Phil Lewis?
Wrong! Guy And Rhett we’re just as good for there time frame. You can’t compare singers to different versions of the band in a musical direction. It’s like comparing a classic 69’ Mustang to a 2020 version. That’s being shallow and simple minded.
I know man,these guys are just flawless.Sometimes the record company just doesn't do there job in terms of promoting.I would love to here a digitally remastered version of this album.
@RockenDokkenlover91 i found one. she was the one who made me listen to Riot in the first place. She made me a mixtape and this song + Thundersteel was on. Her favourite album is called Fistful Of Metal.

GREAT TIMES
Yeah it’s no three chord formulaic poison song

Exacto
I am in total agreement
This band has given me many many hours of musical enjoyment
"Time has changed the seasons
And I will go on with no reason
I feel my life slipping away
These streets are getting colder
And I am growing older
Tomorrow seems so far away"
Sheer Lyrical Brilliance!!!
One of the very best heavy metal band , they deserve so much more....
by far the most underrated overlooked heavy band in the history of hard rock these guy were very very good!
Best power metal ballad of all times. 1000/1000
+Gabriel Rearte ballad? ;)
Only in the first 30 seconds.
And I don't think it's Power Metal.
Goddamn right!!!
R.I.P Mark Reale
thank you for 14 great albums.

Perfect Master piece. This song will remain in the hit list
Fantastic song!!!
I'm getting 40 years old this year and I can feel the lyrics...
Time has changed the seasons...........
I love this song! A masterpiece!
Mark is not dead. He's just workin' to new material with Guy and Rhett.
I remember turning on head bangers ball and seeing this come on. Great stuff. My old school mate Bobby Jarzombeck is playing drums on this. Keep on rockin Bobby!
School mate ? Hardly Bobby and I grew up together in San Antonio and we never ever call someone a " school mate "
This album is right there with the great albums of that era.
I LOVE this song! I think it's one of the best songs EVER wrote. \m/
Thanks!
Bad Ass Album
Reason enough to watch headbangers ball
Religiously..GREAT TIMES!
this song is great, I love riot.
some of the greatest music ever conceived.

Riot is the world best heavy metal band in the world.

I met maiden at a music store near my house in 82 and had my riot shirt on and they all knew they were a great band miss them days

The Creators of POWER METAL.FACT!

Tony Moore is the BEST singer this awesome band has ever had period, i'm sorry but this album & my favorite album by Riot - "Privilege of Power" 1990 .......NONE of Riot's other singers come remotely close to Tony's melodic power.
The current singer is awesome too.

Agree with u.. Love Tony Moore. Cheers from Malaysia....

TOTALLY UNDER-RATED BAND !
Tony Moore is the best heavy metal Lead Vocalist in the world.
❤️
I know man,these guys are just flawless.Sometimes the record company just doesn't do there job in terms of promoting.I would love to here a digitally remastered version of this album.
song never gets old
Long Island metal
So beautiful...
Simplesmente Maravilhoso! Grande Album ThunderSteel !!
fuerza y melodia de un gran album thundersteel con un gran vocalista tony moore
I love this Song, Riot was GREAT on "Thundersteel" and The "Privilege of Power".
I bought this album (Thundersteel) two years ago and its fuckin awesome. Great sound - great songs. RIOT RULES !!!
this band kicked some ass in the 80s awesome song
I agree, great album Restless Breed! In memory of Rhett
Great band, I was spinning this vinyl earlier!
R.I.P. mark ! Your Great
R.I.P. Mark, you'll be missed!
Masterpiece the song and the whole album.

the best speed metal band of the world
RIOT
@RockenDokkenlover91 i found one.
she was the one who made me listen to Riot in the first place. She made me a mixtape and this song + Thundersteel was on. Her favourite album is called Fistful Of Metal.
Why can't I see the comment i replied to? Anyway, this is not relevant anymore.
If there be a concert with my band i always choose this song to sing as it was special to me 🤘👍
RIP BROTHER!!!
yeah! One of the greatest hard/heavy bands ever!
this song is awesome......
Bela canção
@RockenDokkenlover91 there seem to be lots of them in eastern europe & skandinavia ;)
awesome band and song this band kicked some ass in the day
日本！初来日公演の前の貴重なプロモーション映像！あの！感動の大阪毎日ホールの感動が甦ります✌️
A piece of my life is gone with Mark. I am devastated.
Great Band
Still the perfect workout song !
This song!
Este som e lindo!!!
Pure genius heavy assed metal n' roll done right.
I still have this tape.If ya can believe that.
Thundersteel and Privilege of Power had one of the best line-up of the heavy metal history
You are wrong, this is nothing like Glam. Listen to any other song on the album and you'll realize how heavy it is.
It totally is but this is what got played on MTV
@@jmscoving Its clearly a Power Metal album in a american fashion
@@renatolima9573 agreed but I'm never gonna say Riot was Glam.
For me Riot was and is heavy metal and US power metal
Great song!
METAL.
Such an underrated band
kumpulan speedmetal paling aku gemari suatu ketika dulu
🤘🏼✊
Θα ειμαστε παντα τα παιδια της Λεωφορου. Παο θρησκεια θυρα 13... ☘☘☘
