These guys came around at a time when there was no sub genres of metal. It was just that - Metal. I remember listening to this band as well as Slayer and Venom. Back in the early - mid 80s, it was all metal and it was all good.
All Lizzy Borden’s albums are savage. First to last. You need to hear and know what lizzy is singing to you about. His music is like a movie just with guitars and drums. Lizzy is an evil genius
Absolutely Love Your channel. I appreciate having the opportunity to be introduced to bands and artists which I was too young to ever hear or be exposed to.
Funny. I never wrote them off for being glam. I wrote them off because I thought they were some sort of proto-death metal outfit. Then I heard their music without knowing who it was. I heard a mix tape a buddy handed me with them, some Metal Church, and some Savatage on it. Turns out my favorite tunes were the Lizzy Borden tunes.
@@DYNAMITEDORK Yes, Ricky Rachtman was a great host... he was mates with some of the other guys... there was a lot of good-natured ribbing between him and some of the other bands.
These Lizzy Borden releases consumed much of my attention in the 80s, evidently. My childhood. This helped create me. Holy shit. Love you to Pieces has always been in a league of its own. It's good to see that Lizzy Borden had more fans than me alone.
I’ve been listening to Lizzy Borden for a few months now and it’s safe to say they are my third favorite band of all time! Lizzy is a phenomenal vocalist!
You'd almost need two videos. Wayne was only on the first two and then went on to Wayne and Reverend. Metal Church has had a couple different singers after him, even though to me he was the voice of MC, especially that scream.
Oh yeah, Mike Howe’s okay, right? But David’s the real voice of MC, and merciless onslaught’s one of best metal instrumentals out there (but IMO Yngwie’s Trilogy Suite & Def Leppard’s Switch 625 are best, and also QR’s battle axe).
Lizzy Borden is the most underrated band ever! American Metal is one of the best rock anthems ever!!!!!! Every Lizzy Borden album is great! The music has never sucked! Lizzy Borden give'em the ax forever!!!!!
I had it too and listened to Visual Lies a lot in 1988. It has its moments. It's well produced and playing is really good on it. But I grew tired of Bordens singing style. He's a one trick pony that is not that pleasant to listen to for longer periods. A big part of it is his "goat vibrato". He was more than a little hokey both in singing and appearance. Very recognizeable and hard to forget, but it was fairly obvious why he didn't go really big. Compared to similar style era bands like ex. Dokken, Helloween or what have you - Borden was quite far off in terms of quality.
@@malmstring I'm a fan but I agree about his voice, it occupies frequencies that makes it almost the equivalent of the CD mastering "loudness wars" Menace to Society is my favorite. Saw him on the Master of Disguise tour at L' Mour (spelling?) In NY, band was great but surprisingly low on theatrics.
Master of Disguise will be purchased on vinyl by yours truly with the next 48 hours upon listening to these tracks for the first time and I will LIKE IT . That is all 💋
I an not even a metal fan (i like a lot of stuff,but i'm more into punk and 70s stuff), but i really like your lessons,this one changed my view on Lizzy,always thought they are a tipical metal glam band. Which they aren't
Always loved Lizzy Borden since back in the 80''s and continúe to love and follow the band up to this very day. My favourite álbum is "Visual Líes" however all albums by Lizzy Borden are killer!!
Visual Lies is my fav hands down...maybe because it was gifted to me in the 80's, it probably holds a certain level of nostalgia. Also, "Me Against The world" was featured in the film "Black Roses" and for good reason...it's an exceptionally and excellently written and composed masterpiece...in my opinion of course.
Most under-rated power metal band ever. Master Of Disguise is still a symphonic power metal masterpiece album unsurpassed. Love You To Pieces, Give 'em the Axe, Visual Lies and Menace to Society are albums every power metal fan should have in their collection...and I do..lmao Rod Of Iron and Sins Of The Flesh are 2 of the best power metal songs ever recorded.
You & I see eye to eye on a lot of bands, and you hit the mark on this one for sure. I still have my VHS copy of 'The Murderess Metal Road Show' ...it's even better when you discover it was recorded at a country club. Great vid buddy, keep 'em comin, and Rock Steady...
excellent video man. i'm a long time Lizzy fan and this is awesome. Favorite album for me has to be visual lies but i swear, he took things to another level and was way ahead of the times with master of disguise
LIZZY BORDEN! Absolutely. My room mate was their soundman at the time, and they showed up in our living room one night to listen to their first major pressed vinyl. The band is great and "Lizzy" was an interesting cat to talk to. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video about this far underappreciated, brilliant band!! Visual Lies is one of my all-time favorite records!! And, I also live My Midnight Things, especially "Long May They Haunt Us"! I hope they make another album!😃🤘🪓
Hi again..in 1998 a friend introduced me to this band..I had never heard of them..visual lies quickly became a desert island list album..it's full of catchy...hooks ..melodies and just totally stands out in there catalog...new Zealand metal head..thanks.
I can't believe I found out about this band only after watching the movie "Metalhead"... What an outstanding, outlandish and underappreciated band - thanks for the great video and for making them more known in this day and age! (ﾉ´ з `)ノ
I remember getting the Give em the Ax EP through the mail back in the day. We had catalogs for Metal Blade and Enigma records and ordered stuff in the early 80s because our record shops sucked around here. Lizzy and WASP sold me on the outrageous stage shows. Thanks for doing these ... They really bring back my high school years ....
Master of Disguise is really a one of a kind album. Really love how it sounds epic and progressive, but also has the energy and catchiness of 80's commercial metal. Could be a really huge hit if was released by Queensrÿche.
These guys are such an incredible and underrated band! Lizzy Borden was an incredibly creative songwriter and a beautiful yet badass singer. He was also kinda hot, especially in the Love You to Pieces era. I discovered these guys on a compilation of 80s metal back when I was but a heavy metal novice. I can’t remember everything on that compilation, but I do remember it having American Metal by Lizzy Borden and F*** Like a Beast by WASP. Those songs changed my life. I still listen to those bands to this day.
One of my favorite bands ever. I 1st heard them in 2002 when VH1 Classic played the Me Against the World Video, was blown away by the look & the intensity of the band's musicianship. Legit went to FYE the next day (remember that place? LOL) & scoured the metal selections to look for any CD I could get my hands from them...ended up with both Visual Lies & Master of Disguise. Needless to say, been a huge fan of the band ever since. Have every release of theirs in my collection, the only band other than Queensryche to get that nod lol, but whenever I hear the name Lizzy Borden & new release together (even though there's only been 3 albums in the last 20 years, plus a best of just released not too long ago, I get super stoked. Best. Underrated. Band. Ever.
I liked the '80's stuff, after I didn't realy follow...and finally i met Lizzys stuff again, and I can tell, Tomorrow never comes, Under your skin, My midnight things, Obsessed with you....purely are perfect songs!
Love lizzy Borden. Cool video. As much as I love the 80s stuff I love the later stuff too. We only come out at night is a classic track! appointment with death and midnight things both are very good.
Man, I LOVED LB. Saw them in some dinky club in Cleveland in 1984 and never looked back. Dude chopped up the stage and the opening band's speakers! It was awesome. Long live Lizzy Borden.
I was fortunate to see the "Menace to society tour" opening up for Motorhead at Lamour's in Queens NY, the "Visual Lies" tour at Lamour's in Brooklyn NY, and the "Appointment with death" tour at Dingbatz in Clifton NJ. All 3 shows were great. Thank you for making this review.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the channel! Since you are doing bands like Lizzy Borden, Loudness and KIX, do ones for bands like Raven, Malice, Accept, Savatage, Kingdom Come and Stryper! \m/
The song "Dead Serious" an extra track on The Murderess Metal Road Show to me is a vocal masterpiece. Lizzy not only hits major high notes in it but has a part where he sings low which sounds incredible.
Lizzy Borden was a breath of fresh air in an overly hyped metal scene. A lot of these more "popular" bands were one hit wonders where Lizzy Borden just went out balls to the wall and did what they did best...just cool heavy metal. Dead Serious was ahead of its time. I played in three bands that did covers of it. Last one was Lovecraft that ended last July.
Great to see another Loudness fan here, I absolutely love Niihara-Sama’s vocals and Takasaki-Sama’s guitar-work, their releases from the 2010’s are also great (Rise to glory, Metal mad, and the sun will rise again (both the Japanese & English versions), but yeah, they’re still doin’ great...
Gonna address the obvious. Why aren't there more thumbs up? Appreciate the time you take to research & put these videos together. The 80's were prob the best times of my life. I remember these bands & had to think a minute about all the "Axe" bands. Kick Axe, Lilian Axe & I guess I was thinking about Axes when you did this video. Also, appreciate your humor & sarcasm because it's true. You also end the videos with a positive comment. Thanks, for helping keep our music alive. Signed a Hot 80's Metal Chick ;)
Great review of a unique and criminally under-rated band. The albums you mentioned are classics and their best work for sure, also agree that the later offerings have a few shining moments but overall lack the quality, ferocity and hooks of the earlier discs.
I bought their first album LOVE YOU TO PIECES, when I went to my local record store at the time and saw the album cover on display in the new release section and thought this must be some kickass metal got it , took it home and have been a fan ever since.
I still have a double record compilation called; "The Best of Metal Blade Vol. 3" it featured one of their greatest tunes(IMO); "Me against the World"-which has been in a cpl movies such as 1988's "Black Roses" as well as a duet between Lizzy & Betsy Bitch called; "Don't Touch Me There".
Great job on this! Never knew Lizzy and Joey were brothers. For me, Love You To Pieces is their swan song. No bad tracks. Everything is killer on that one.
I was into them with me against the world,but I got caught up with American Metal!!! What a great tune!! But I feel that they're really underrated too!!! They're great!! One of the greatest bands in heavy metal.
Great band. Saw them live many years ago, they were incredible live. Sadly this band has never recieved the credit they deserve for being an incredible band. They are still cranking. Hopeful to see them live again.
Tuned out by M.O.D. saw the video for tomorrow never comes when it came out and although I dug it , it wasn't classic L.B. to me. Mad respect for his fortitude, drive and creativity. Give em the AXE!!
Instead of waiting for alternative music to go away on its own like Lizzy said, I really don't think anyone would have cared or even held him accountable if he kinda helped speed up the process with a few good swings of that axe of his in the direction of a few grunge bands.
I came to Lizzy through the Soundtrack to Black Roses - a ever so slightly different version of Me Against the World! It’s still my favourite track and visual Lies is my favourite album! Took me years and years to track down a really good quality copy in the UK! But happily I have one along with the Black Roses Soundtrack on vinyl! I also have their last album also happily on vinyl and it’s not that bad!
That’s an amazing quick-change act... Lizzy musta been pumped to be the headliner for Yngwie and his band... what year was that man? Yngwie’s friendly according to online acquaintance he even gave her a pick, how awesome is that!
@@dragonqueen6589 I think around 2006 or 2007. This local band “Mung” was the opener. Then Lizzy did like 5 songs and then a 45 minute wait for Malmsten...apparently (I heard the next day) he was sick with the stomach flu or food poisoning but he did the show anyway.
@@deanbudgell6220 what a trooper! Such a legend, but whenever there is something he isn’t used to he absolutely loses it (there’s a Loudwire (I can’t remember the exact channel, but i’m pretty sure it was them) vid that featured him freaking out over donuts.... and that was because in Sweden, they don’t really have them, at least not the kind we’re used to) Totally unrelated, but it must still be enjoyable going to a King Diamond concert. Man... can already visualise him doing “Out from the Asylum, and exactly how the stage would’ve been set up.(lightning, sound effects, the set itself)
![Lizzy Borden - Me Against The World [Official Music Video NO GLITCH]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/txLVCYF38Mk/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks and so much for that Lizzy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Visual lies Is Soooooooooooooooooo and Soooooooooooooo Underated,,,, Thanks man Lizzy 4 Ever,,,,
Lizzy's vocals still give me chills after all of these years.
Maybe you have a fever ?
These guys came around at a time when there was no sub genres of metal. It was just that - Metal. I remember listening to this band as well as Slayer and Venom. Back in the early - mid 80s, it was all metal and it was all good.
Exactly. Wish we could go back to that. I tire of the endless subtitles.
Spot on... So tired of people saying that ain't metal when back in the day there was so many different sounds and it was all metal.
There was heavy, thrash, pop (hair), black, doom and proto death metal actually.
And no doubt 'Armored Saint' among others. These bands were not just loud, but innovative in their own ways. Straight up.
@@ALLMETAL1970 ok, you making me LOL. but yes.
Savatage is a extremely underrated band that you should do. Seriously. What I love about Savatage is the songs change throughout the song.
“Sleep” is one of my all-time favorite ballads.🤘
Better be at least an hour long. There's so much to cover about Savatage.
Love savatage!!!!!!
@@betornween agreed. One of my favorite bands of all time
NO, I plan on doing a Savatage video.
All Lizzy Borden’s albums are savage. First to last. You need to hear and know what lizzy is singing to you about. His music is like a movie just with guitars and drums. Lizzy is an evil genius
Been a Lizzy Borden fan since the 80's and still follow their music today. Superb band 🤘🤘
Master of Disguise is, hands down, Lizzy's best album for me! It's the most complete, best written album front to back.
Oh yes! Another favorite album of mine. It and Deal With The Devil run neck and neck as personal fav albums.
Yes, but they should have chosen better singles for it, eg. Never Too Young or Phantoms.
The title track alone is awesome
That album is a masterpiece.
It was suppose to be the album that launched them. But it fell flat and is not very good.
Master of Disguise is by far Lizzy's most badass song !! From Stinged Instrument Intro to fast riffing and killer solo !!!
I Loved that Album. But Menace to society & Visual lies were both Awesome too.
This channel is presenting in a really well deserved way all the '80 Power Metal. Great job, keep going!
Yes its awesome!
Can’t get enough of American metal, it’s a great song.
You forgot to mention their being in The Decline Of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years, performing their tremendous version of Born To Be Wild
As soon as I finished the video, that was going to be my comment cuz I had no idea who these guys were before the doc
Absolutely Love Your channel.
I appreciate having the opportunity to be introduced to bands and artists which I was too young to ever hear or be exposed to.
Thanks! Glad you’re digging the videos! 🤘🏻
Funny. I never wrote them off for being glam. I wrote them off because I thought they were some sort of proto-death metal outfit. Then I heard their music without knowing who it was. I heard a mix tape a buddy handed me with them, some Metal Church, and some Savatage on it. Turns out my favorite tunes were the Lizzy Borden tunes.
Master of Disguise is a metal masterpiece! The vocals and melodies are amazing!
Damn that singer is off the chain! They kicked ass!
Visual Lies is still in my rotation today. Great album!
I've still got my VHS tape of The Murderous Metal Road Show.
Me too 😎
And me also
I remember when “Me against the world” first aired on Headbangers Ball! The good old days
Yes, Lizzy with extremely huge hair.
@@ChannelBerpindah 🤘🏻
me too thats what made me a Fan, bought menace to society in 1989 after Master of disguise came out Love all of those "Tapes"
@@MetalHeart8787 ahhh yes on cassette of course 👍🏻

Please profile Metal Church as well. Another underrated band!
RIP David Wayne
Man, The Dark is such a classic. That Ton of Bricks/Start the Fire one two punch of greatness.
You'd almost need two videos. Wayne was only on the first two and then went on to Wayne and Reverend. Metal Church has had a couple different singers after him, even though to me he was the voice of MC, especially that scream.
@@TheChadTI the same can be said of the two leadoff tracks on their 1st album. They knew how to start an album.
@@angryagain3801 oh yeah those two are connected for sure. All amazing.
Oh yeah, Mike Howe’s okay, right? But David’s the real voice of MC, and merciless onslaught’s one of best metal instrumentals out there (but IMO Yngwie’s Trilogy Suite & Def Leppard’s Switch 625 are best, and also QR’s battle axe).
I'm really digging these episodes of metal school, takes me back to my youth, middle school and high school days were filled with this music.
Lizzy Borden is the most underrated band ever! American Metal is one of the best rock anthems ever!!!!!! Every Lizzy Borden album is great! The music has never sucked! Lizzy Borden give'em the ax forever!!!!!
My favorite album is 'Visual Lies'. The cassette was in my car stereo ALL the time while driving to and from college.
Also; when I looked up if you had done a "Metal School" on Lizzy Borden, blam! there it was....I subscribed immediately. Thank you.
I love all the Lizzy Borden records. I’ve opened up for Lizzy Borden and I’ve hung out with Lizzy and he’s so awesome!!!
Bruh where was I smh when this amazing channel has existed. Great videos on great bands keep up the good work
Love Lizzy Borden saw him live two times in Guadalajara Mexico, nobody knew who he was, but he made everybody an instant fan
Congrats for the Chanel! It must become more popular among metal fan.
"Visual Lies" is a terrific album. I still have my vinyl copy (and still play it).
I had it too and listened to Visual Lies a lot in 1988. It has its moments. It's well produced and playing is really good on it. But I grew tired of Bordens singing style. He's a one trick pony that is not that pleasant to listen to for longer periods. A big part of it is his "goat vibrato". He was more than a little hokey both in singing and appearance. Very recognizeable and hard to forget, but it was fairly obvious why he didn't go really big. Compared to similar style era bands like ex. Dokken, Helloween or what have you - Borden was quite far off in terms of quality.
@@malmstring I'm a fan but I agree about his voice, it occupies frequencies that makes it almost the equivalent of the CD mastering "loudness wars" Menace to Society is my favorite. Saw him on the Master of Disguise tour at L' Mour (spelling?) In NY, band was great but surprisingly low on theatrics.
Still have it!
Those first four albums (LYTP, MTS, TR & VL) are all heavily underrated releases.
Master of Disguise will be purchased on vinyl by yours truly with the next 48 hours upon listening to these tracks for the first time and I will LIKE IT . That is all 💋
Another fantastic video from Metal School. Now off to do my homework!
I never miss a lesson. Well researched , very witty and an education to boot. Best thing I've found on YT period. Cheers!
Thanks! Glad to hear it 🤘🏻🤘🏻😊

Master of Disguise is his best work. Got to meet him on this tour when he was playing small clubs and he was very nice.
Ha! I was fan since 1985 😜🤘 Incredible band! What a great channel btw, subscribed 🤘
Always loved Lizzy Borden since back in the 80''s and continúe to love and follow the band up to this very day. My favourite álbum is "Visual Líes" however all albums by Lizzy Borden are killer!!

Also, "Me Against The world" was featured in the film "Black Roses" and for good reason...it's an exceptionally and excellently written and composed masterpiece...in my opinion of course.
The main riff from “Give ‘Em The Axe” is one of my favorites. I still play it frequently on guitar.
Great band I open for them 11 years ago it was truly magical onwards and upwards 🤘🤘
Love your videos man! Keep em’ coming. Lizzy is very underrated
Agreed. And thanks for watching!
Most under-rated power metal band ever. Master Of Disguise is still a symphonic power metal masterpiece album unsurpassed. Love You To Pieces, Give 'em the Axe, Visual Lies and Menace to Society are albums every power metal fan should have in their collection...and I do..lmao Rod Of Iron and Sins Of The Flesh are 2 of the best power metal songs ever recorded.

Menace to Society's cover reminds of Soldiers Under Command by Stryper. Released around the same time too.
I discovered alot of bands from the metal massacre compilations. Stocking shelves at a grocery store night shift with my walkman. 86-87🤘
LIZZY BORDEN! Absolutely. My room mate was their soundman at the time, and they showed up in our living room one night to listen to their first major pressed vinyl. The band is great and "Lizzy" was an interesting cat to talk to. Great stuff.

Quite frankly bloody brilliant. Best from U.K.

Great job on this! Never knew Lizzy and Joey were brothers. For me, Love You To Pieces is their swan song. No bad tracks. Everything is killer on that one.
I was into them with me against the world,but I got caught up with American Metal!!!
What a great tune!!
But I feel that they're really underrated too!!!
They're great!! One of the greatest bands in heavy metal.
Great band. Saw them live many years ago, they were incredible live. Sadly this band has never recieved the credit they deserve for being an incredible band. They are still cranking. Hopeful to see them live again.
I was in a glam band back in Hollywood in the '90s and Lizzie had a band called Diamond Dogs. We used to do shows together and he was such a nice guy.
That’s awesome! Yeah, Lizzie mentioned Diamond Dogs in a couple of interviews I saw. I wish I could’ve found some footage. What was your band?
@@MetalSchoolChannel we were called Guttersluts.. Circa 1994-1995
@@mattmoss6121 Great name 😄🤘🏻
Keep posting your vids, man. Doing a great job.
Tuned out by M.O.D. saw the video for tomorrow never comes when it came out and although I dug it , it wasn't classic L.B. to me. Mad respect for his fortitude, drive and creativity. Give em the AXE!!
I love everything about your music forever your awesome 🤘💯🎸❤
Really well done. I'm really enjoying these. Keep it up!
Instead of waiting for alternative music to go away on its own like Lizzy said, I really don't think anyone would have cared or even held him accountable if he kinda helped speed up the process with a few good swings of that axe of his in the direction of a few grunge bands.
There was no support from the record label to do another album for almost a decade. I heard it in another interview he did.
Master of Disguise was 100% my favorite LB album.
I've seen these guys play a bunch of times around 1986-88 They played at a long Island NY club called Sundance.
I came to Lizzy through the Soundtrack to Black Roses - a ever so slightly different version of Me Against the World! It’s still my favourite track and visual Lies is my favourite album! Took me years and years to track down a really good quality copy in the UK! But happily I have one along with the Black Roses Soundtrack on vinyl! I also have their last album also happily on vinyl and it’s not that bad!
this was also how I found out about Lizzy Borden, through the Black Roses soundtrack, which in itself is also an incredible album!
Saw these guys open for Malmsten in a small club in Toronto. The lead singer changed outfits for every single song.
That’s an amazing quick-change act... Lizzy musta been pumped to be the headliner for Yngwie and his band... what year was that man? Yngwie’s friendly according to online acquaintance he even gave her a pick, how awesome is that!
@@dragonqueen6589 I think around 2006 or 2007. This local band “Mung” was the opener. Then Lizzy did like 5 songs and then a 45 minute wait for Malmsten...apparently (I heard the next day) he was sick with the stomach flu or food poisoning but he did the show anyway.
@@deanbudgell6220 what a trooper! Such a legend, but whenever there is something he isn’t used to he absolutely loses it (there’s a Loudwire (I can’t remember the exact channel, but i’m pretty sure it was them) vid that featured him freaking out over donuts.... and that was because in Sweden, they don’t really have them, at least not the kind we’re used to)
Totally unrelated, but it must still be enjoyable going to a King Diamond concert. Man... can already visualise him doing “Out from the Asylum, and exactly how the stage would’ve been set up.(lightning, sound effects, the set itself)
Saw Lizzy and the boys. What a show. Thanks Lizzy
