Probably because they didn’t record many studio albums. 3 albums in the 80s, none in the 90s, 1 in the 2000s & one last year (2022) I agree that they deserve to be at least as big as Stryper, IF they made 1 or 2 more great albums in the early 90s. They do have a cult following, though. I live a couple cities away from where Leatherwolf started in Orange Country; some people still know who they are.
I was at the first european concert of Leatherwolf in The Netherlands in 1989. Called Aardschokdag with bands as House of Lords, Vengeance, Crimson Glory, Leatherwolf and Queensryche. Never forgotten the impressive line of 3 guitarists on stage. Still listen to these bands and loving it.
This is an amazing festival, 80s cult heavy metal bands like Leatherwolf, Fifth Angel, Riot, Lizzy Borden, Cirith Ungol, Armored Saint, Possesed, Metal Church are playing here.
Not shocking at all if you bought this album the year it came out. Their two prior records were also very good. What’s impressive to me is that they sound so much like the record that was dropped in 1989
Ok, this performance was pretty fn awesome! Mike still sounded great and the band was tight. These songs remind me of the greatest of times!! WICKED WAYYYYYYSS!!!
Hideaway war 1989 auf dem Hard´n Heavy Sampler von Annette Hopfenmüller. Das Lied hat mich mit 12 Jahren schon total abgeholt. Das Album STREET READY war dann tatsächlich der Wahnsinn. Wicked Ways, Lonely Road und vor allem das grandiose Spirits in the Wind waren ihrer Zeit damals voraus.
Such a great band. Before Street Ready came out I remember there was a demo with only like 3 songs. Don't know where I got it from but couldn't wait for the album to come out.
they should rally consider to re-record their best material with today's technologies and sounds....guess it could really relaunch their carreer ,cause the songs are timeless metal and just need s a sonic adaptation,i guess
Personally love the sound of 'street ready' on vinyl...dated but also a real 'rosetta stone' of metal as a testament to one of the hottest acts of the the time. Timing is everything in music, like Vicious Rumours, they had the talent but a bad label decision plus changing music tastes at the time and then the moment was gone.
*me * Flings undies onstage in a fit of shameless fangirl abandon * also me* realizes it's no longer the 80's and undies are now granny panties *sigh *
what a boring audience, probably they opened for a very known band in the festival and no one knows them, what a shame.. they are great and very very very underrated.
The original lineup split, Just Mike and Dean (Roberts, drums ) original members left now i think. Was going to quip that Carey looked better without the beard but to be fair the new man plays good. Thank you Leatherwolf!
from wat i herd looks like dean had bought the rights to the band leatherwolf. thats y the old memebers r gone. if u want the old leatherwolf ther called hail mary i think. sry but im not really digin the new leatherwolf
This lineup is brutal, go back to the 2015 Keep it True tour if you want the real deal of a group. That's Leatherwolf at it's best. This here 2 non energetic kids on guitars, whoever the bass player is, just the drummer and singer are originals. I can't watch this.....
Fantastic - one of the best Heavy/Hardrockbands in time - totally underrated!
a great line up also
True! Let's keep enjoying their fantastic music.
Why in mother of god is this band not more popular? This lineup is up there with the very best. True rock stars!

Too many lineup changes.

What a lineup!
New C Glory soon buddy

Oh my the singer still sounds the same! And their guitar mix and sound is spot on!
Micheal Olivieri..lol Jan 4th 2019.. Malones,, Jezebels Reunion.. less than 10bucks cover..
Amazing. One of the most unrated bands of the era. Such good song writing. 🤘🤘
This is an amazing festival, 80s cult heavy metal bands like Leatherwolf, Fifth Angel, Riot, Lizzy Borden, Cirith Ungol, Armored Saint, Possesed, Metal Church are playing here.
wow
The backing vocals on there albums are so powerful and bad ass great band!
Shocking,how great these guys sound, very underated!

Hideaway was my go to song when I felt the world was against me. Still listen to this day. Amazing they till rock.
Lol...same here!
日本から。80年代から大好きなバンドです。音楽をあまり聴かなくなった今、久しぶりに彼らの姿を拝見でき、また素晴らしいパフォーマンスに感動しました。素晴らしい。彼らは過小評価されていますね。今の日本でも彼らを覚えている方々は必ずいるはずです。
My American heroes along side with Malice Banshee and Warrior...thanks for upload....no such thing as crisp video concerts in the past...
Leatherwolf has been rocking since 1981. Never surrender, never give up!
Awesome band. Terrific songs. Olivieri still great
I bought "street ready" when I was serving in the army....still sounds so fantastic...
Great band! Better than most of the Rest.
wow,, Damn Amazing,,and what a band,,wow
I'm happy this band got back together with their original singer for a while and are still going today!
Dean Roberts! Fantastic dude!
Rock n roll é melhor gênero musical do mundo. 😊

Michael's vocals are as good as they used to be back in 80's, but the backing vocalists aren't able to keep up with him.
Go Mikey you still got it Brother!
Seen you guys many time in Anaheim ar Anaheim celebrity theater with y&T was an awsome show
Fantastic Band !
EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!
Freak yeah….! They sound awesome as freak!!!!
Michael Olivieri is still a beautiful Italian -American singer to live to be 59 years of age, i hope and pray he won't passed away soon. ❤️💋🌈👩❤️💋👨
Such a great band. Before Street Ready came out I remember there was a demo with only like 3 songs. Don't know where I got it from but couldn't wait for the album to come out.
AWESOME!

Шедевр!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘Мasterpiece!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They got better with age. Tight and powerful!
🤘😔👌 Ojalas verlos algún día en Chile 🇨🇱
Some people in the band weren’t even born when this song came out
They were literally teenagers when they hit so there’s that.
I'm pretty sure this line up is the original awesome drummer , singer/guitarist and bass player. One of my favs.
no , only michael and dean are original
Wrong… Patrick, the bass player is also original member
Cry Out sounds good !
Great!
Hell yeah! 🤘😎
yeaHHH!!!!
Joder, cómo siguen sonando!!!
Triple Axe Attack!!
I know leatherwolf from the soundtrack of the return of the living dead 2
That’s how I discovered them too
Great!Wonderful! A lot of cult Metal bands...

Gran directo 🤘🤘🤘

Fates Warning, leather Wolf 2 underrated bands

let's share A dream🎉

why , they have good sound
No amount of today's technology can fix perfection.
Голос как в 80е,не изменился!👍👍👍
Yes
Great Fu*king band!!!!
Yeap 😎🤟
Wintersun T-shirt!
*me * Flings undies onstage in a fit of shameless fangirl abandon
* also me* realizes it's no longer the 80's and undies are now granny panties
*sigh *
Lol....ah but we those young sexy things once upon a time.....Times were awesome then
sure , way better in 1989 , but good enough !!
amazing!! I'm curious...how many original members?
2 Mike and Dean
3. Bass player is also original
2 guitarists look like shit
08:12
My favorite tune that my wife turns down as she watches the speedometer slowly climb lol
I don't feel like getting out my guitar to check. Were they tuned down a full or half step? I think it was a full step.
what a boring audience, probably they opened for a very known band in the festival and no one knows them, what a shame.. they are great and very very very underrated.
Porra, não tocaram Spiter????
I don´t recognise the bearded guitarist...looks as young as Man ...both are really good....
Fuckin Bad Ass!!!
Amazing....but it just looks weird to have a veteran singer, bassist, and drummer with two young guitar players
it sounds like Rock Star movie if they are really fans. for me, It would be a dream to play with them.
10:44 the solo got silenced.😰🤔🤔🤭🤭😥😥
Paul Carman/Bassist/Warlord
plays in warlord , not here , or what ?
Why cut their BEST song? WICKED WAYS, one of the best US METAL songs .😪
I can tell the Vocalist can still do all the Highend Vocal Nuances with very little practice and technique work...
Hell, I'd be Honored to help him...
Metal survivors
Michael is the the only singer for this band
wished Michael would have stayed the new singer is good
Before there was auto tune there was Leatherwolf🤘🤍🤘
Dont recognize anyone except the singer.
The original lineup split, Just Mike and Dean (Roberts, drums ) original members left now i think.
Was going to quip that Carey looked better without the beard but to be fair the new man plays good. Thank you Leatherwolf!
Those guitar players looks kinda young
Baszott jóóó
Orange County
2 original members 🙄
Guitar vise are they on the top of the peak !! Actually 3 lead guitars, but vocal vise not!!! Sorry Mr. Michael Olivieri
do not forget , he sings since 1979 when band starts
Great performance but for a band called leatherwolf they sure don't wear much leather 😅
from wat i herd looks like dean had bought the rights to the band leatherwolf. thats y the old memebers r gone. if u want the old leatherwolf ther called hail mary i think. sry but im not really digin the new leatherwolf
This lineup is brutal, go back to the 2015 Keep it True tour if you want the real deal of a group. That's Leatherwolf at it's best. This here 2 non energetic kids on guitars, whoever the bass player is, just the drummer and singer are originals. I can't watch this.....
verry bad choice
Great band
