Black Widow - Rough Cutt

Live in Japan performance - Black Widow, Rough Cutt

[@jyejye1077]

One of the best 80s singers and one of the most Underrated too.

[@SunCoastFilms]

So glad I saw these guys with DIo. And that I have this on original vinyl. Kick ass!!! 13 dislikes!! get a life!!

[@peetti3608]

Agreed (on those dislikes) wtf

[@GeorgiaLunch]

Paul Shortino has such an underappreciated voice. This performance is bone-chilling.

[@geolinkin6579]

You called this!!!!!! Yeah, this is one of the best live performances in every category--haunting!

[@YogaArmy]

SO TRUE!

[@MG68]

Definitely

[@Plowguitarist]

An absolute MONSTER!!

[@gipsyavenger9829]

Shortino is a BEAST !!

[@jls41nj1]

This band kicks ass. I don't understand why they never made it big

[@frisbeeshawn5356]

The best bands aren't the most popular .. .

[@jyejye1077]

They even got a Music video from Warner, I think the Scene for Glam bands were just too full, and Thrash Metal took over lol.

[@jls41nj1]

I remember a few videos. Oh well it’s over anyway

[@peetti3608]

​@frisbeeshawn5356 this is SOOO TRUE!!

[@peetti3608]

​@@jyejye1077true.. but these guys were different.

[@medic4832]

Damn, Paul is in my top 10 vocalists list of all time period!

[@paulrobichaud6582]

chills... best opening act I ever saw

[@YogaArmy]

Paul is one of the greatest rock vocalists that's completely under appreciated. Plus he's a really cool person. Rough Cutt was such an amazing band. Love them

[@geolinkin6579]

The guitar tones are sick...and Double Trouble! Shortino long on ethereal tone! Wow!!!

[@SonicVR12]

One of the best bands and vocalist from that era. They should have been HUGE!!

[@jerlu69]

I had the honor of playing with Paul in North Hollywood in the early 90's and not only is he the most amazing vocalist but a really great person as well.Still kicking ass!!!

[@YogaArmy]

totally agree!

[@michaelschmidt9708]

Captain's Cabin or FM Station?

[@jerlu69]

@@michaelschmidt9708 Captains Cabin with Paul. I played the FM Station a bunch with The Other Half doing there Smut stuff. Good times!!

[@michaelschmidt9708]

Good times indeed,@@jerlu69

[@sevendust29]

Paul...UNBELIEVABLE PIPES!!!

[@SirReelMX]

What a great voice! Very underrated band. They smoked a lot of other bands from the 80s.

[@chassy]

This band was so freaking good.. Still love'em now and listen to them often.
Great vocal and great musicians.🤘🤘🤘

[@heavyercuadra3521]

Slow but Heavy, my favourite song from the debut album.

[@AlesAndBluesGuy]

I looked on their debut album couldn't see black widow any ideas?

[@wavular]

That guy can sing!

[@nidiasmith7367]

Wow amazing! He and Ray Gillen the best.

[@SonicVR12]

We must have very similar taste! Both brilliant! Best from that era!

[@zenn3339]

Great band. One of my favorite vocalists.

[@TheBodhisattvaWisdom]

Have the album on vinyl. Legend.

[@alejandrovelez212]

Paul Shortino, what can i say ...11/10

[@ornical]

Saw these badasses open for Dio in '85. Shortino was doing this blues call and response thing and I could hear his voice from the stage BEFORE it came out of the PA. Fucking LUNGS!!!

[@geolinkin6579]

same here...the spectrum in Philly. this guy's voice gives me chills. what a badass song. the guitars are mesmerizing!

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Awesome,awesome,awesome....such a great band.

[@HevyMetlDave]

I had this album on cassette,(1985) it stayed in my car my whole senior year... Great album.
Thanx for posting these videos... brings back good memories.
HMD

[@raydblackwell]

Never got the credit they deserved!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Dio found these guys and it’s amazing they never really took off.

[@pensnut08]

What an amazing singer!!

[@GrumpyCat24]

This video and sound quality are insane.

[@emersonwildner5436]

Paul Shortino ia a Master!!!!

[@Plowguitarist]

That Jackson Kelly is for sale on EBay right now !! Would LOVE TO HAVE IT! What a beautiful Jackson King Kelly..

[@shaitanxul6]

You know I might have my metal credintials revolked but I always dug the hell out of this singer,,he's got an incredible voice..

[@Afurthyclays]

Not at all.... The guy's awesome! 🤘

[@jaybecker9842]

He had a voice that was perfect for Rough Cutt. This was one of my favorite songs.

[@judithembry2805]

One of my favorite singers ugggghhh a voice to die for 😮 so powerful sexy and precise a man who can call down all the Angeles in Heaven 🎉

[@JerryCherryBand]

Such great footage from an awesome time.

[@lesliehughes1402]

Russ Hasty. That is YOU on the drums!
Best song ever!!

[@fivestring65ify]

Shortino has the same blues rock sound to his voice as David Coverdale. This guy can belt with the best of them.

[@kevinmcnamara2082]

This whole fucking band! Holy shit. They did not mess around.

[@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance]

Shortino is great, but can we appreciate how ahead of the time this band as a whole was? Like, it's the mid-80's and Amir is already doing '90's industrial-alt metal guitar grooves here.

[@richardlugo7009]

That industrial alt metal is the reason metal gone shit..it open the floodgates for possers like those people who want to rap and likes hip hop but they want the coolnesz of a metal so there you go nu metal was born and they dominate...anyway thats good becouse it separate the true lover of hardrock music to those who like lil wane,rihanna and at the same time want an anthrax..

[@danielrios1076]

I met Rough Cutt, in NYC. I have shirt with their signatures. They rock.

[@darrinconnor7]

Sorry about your experience.

[@user-uu1bw7nr4v]

Vocal maravilhosoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[@Kohntarkosz]

It always cracked me up that Amir Derahk later played in the lightweight goth pop band Orgy during the late 90's.

[@johnnyu4221]

Shortino had a unique voice. The first album is great top to bottom!

[@geolinkin6579]

Yeah, a masterpiece! They did get a little soft with each album after, but we got this to keep us going for another 30 years!

[@NuriaLugo]

What a great singer!!

[@donniedowner1686]

Love to have the whole show...damn!!!!!

[@davesmusicmania1]

love this band, love this song, love the down tuned sound

[@kylej.4158]

Fuckin A....listened to this back in the day

[@enzobinelli9397]

La excelente voz de Paul Shortino, muy particular, fue el gran reemplazo en Quiet Riot de Kevin DuBarrow

[@snatchsour]

Great sounding bass tone!

[@donniedowner1686]

Where is this entire concert? One of the best !!!!!!

[@bbarrett71]

I've still got thi album on vinyl. Amir From this band was later in that band Orgie or orgy (however you spell it.) who redid that "how does it feel" song by new order. These guys rocked.

[@hokutobill]

You are right!!! These guys rocked!!! Paul Shortino is also a very underatted vocalist! Check out the Quiet Riot video where he is singing!

[@JW75383]

Amir Derakh!!!

[@theblindoc]

Yeah!

[@zamoon]

She whines and twines
From her silken bed
She wines and dines
The woman must be fed
Lips open on
In her kiss of death
She'll take it all
Till there's nothing left
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
The trial of fire
Leads me to her web
A burning, burning desire
Lures me to her bed
The fires of darkness
That locks me within
This evil woman
She knows no sin
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
A trail of fire
Leads me to her web
She'll eat you alive
The widow must be fed
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
She's a black widow
A widow of the web
She's a black widow
The widow must be fed
Black widow
Black widow

[@pooeyfingers]

pretty heavy

[@martialfan36]

they were awesome,wish i had the cd expensive as hell on ebay

[@SantomPh]

Your credentials are fine, a lot of the vocalists of the time kicked ass.

[@jhnm156]

sweet vid!

[@boltthrower76]

i so agree

[@xjaidlyn]

Paul with a voice to die for.. well his hair isnt too bad either ! haha.. well 80s rocked.
One of my close friends, was one of their main roadies. Mike Marlett.. anyone know where he is?
Guess maybe if he does the net he may see this and post.

[@drewrosecrans9728]

They werr a killer band hell yeah 👍👍👍 better than motley clowns 🤡🤡🤡 Chris and Amir beyond killer guitar player's 💯🤘🤘🤘 im glad i got to see them in their prime 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@jmerriman1837]

[@rashneesh]

[@oneescalante]

For all you metal hungry!
Sting played next, 1st MTV world wide event.

[@peetti3608]

Dude replaced Dubrow in Quiet Riot.. album was great.. unfortunately Riot fans already had their hearts won.

[@aronosky69]

derrrp!!!

[@shaitanxul6]

You want to hear something funny,,I know a guy here in my town who used to sound just as raspy as this guy,,he had an incredible vocal range,,sounded like a cross between Robert Plant and Janis joplin..

[@karengregg1238]

How tf dose a band called quite riot get big but not these guys.

[@wavular]

two words- Music industry.

[@flagelumdei8138]

A gem. Thank you a lot

[@pslover]

The bands name is Rough Cutt, not Black Widow. Thats the name of the song.

[@AlesAndBluesGuy]

What happened to these guys?

[@untaljotaful]

buen tema no

[@Matte212]

Is Jake E Lee in this preformance?

[@A1Authority]

Okay. I checked out 4 cuts fro this band. Even when Metal was on it's 1980s high, I never heard of this band and I thinks it's because they're bunch of boneheads with music you could only enjoy as background music at a bar while drunk...

[@darrinconnor7]

Too bad there not as good as they think they are. There is a title for music like this "weak rock"

[@jessealvarado1642]

U suck
