The year was 1984. Nurnberg, Germany. Monsters of Rock concert and Accept was playing this song live. First of all, the bass was so loud that my face was literally vibrating. I felt in under my feet. When it got to the "ah ah ah ah ah" part, and it just grows and grows, I was in this MASSIVE MASSIVE audience with everyone singing the back up parts...it...was...fucking.....amaaaaaaaaaazing. All those fists going up in the air all in sync. It was incredible and soooo fucking loud.
dude, i saw the same monsters tour in stuttgart in 88.. deep purple headlined and accept was also there. killer. i hear from friends who went to the van halen monsters here in the states and the lineup seemed so lame compared to that european tour. never again in the history of heavy music will that ever be replicated. we were lucky

This is arguably one of the most testosterone driven songs that has ever been performed by mankind. I mean look at all those headbanging guitarists and a singer who sounds like he gargles with sandpaper. Pure legend. Always been a favorite of mine for many years!
Long gone is the long hair. This aging Metal Head can STILL headbang with the best of them. At 51, Heavy Metal still speaks to me as it did back in the day. As we say in my generation: "If it's too loud, you're too old!" Devil horns raised.
I'm 63 and I'm still Rockin , but I recently saw a CCR tribute band , I was the first one on the dance floor they Rocked , and the Drummer was 91 ! . He was the probably the most active person in the building after those of us dancing .
52 years old and we are making the them times come back but in much stronger form not so comical hairbanging foolishness. Sooo many great soeed metal and heavy metal acts right now. READY FOR C4 / COVID TO DIE AND GO AWAY. WHICH IT WILL. METAL WILL NEVER DIE.
Udo Dirkschneider is one of the all time great heavy metal singers. I started listening to Accept 41 years ago when I was 14 and have been into metal ever since.
Phoenix. March 24. My birthday. Iron Maiden with Twisted Sister. Also, at Van Halen at Veteran's Coliseum, this song came on in the interval and I was electrified just by the recorded version blasting to the crowd. Power, this song.
I remember when those bands came out and played right after Pennsylvania that came out in California and get it to her that was way back in the 80s that's when fun was fun if you know what I mean can't do s*** anymore without getting in trouble with the law like today

I was a huge fan of Accept as a kid in middle school back in 1985 . I used a picture of UDO in his army uniform and introduced him as Mexican Colonel Talco Sartez for my school's Hispanic culture week , wrote of him as a upper tier army official responsible for aiding the poor in education and agricultural matters . I got a B+ for said entry.
Do you mean the "1380s?"..........B.C.?........That was sure a hell of a time for 'metals': Israelites under Joshua's command inherited the art of smelting copper and tin alloys from the Middonites. You can still see the dug out remains of make-shift earthen pits for 45 square kilometers just due east-south-east of the Dead Sea. Why the hell that isn't some kind of a 'national monument'.....or better yet an 'unofficial' 9th wonder of the world is light years beyond my comprehension......

Absolute classic. I remember listening to this song as a kid in the mid 80's when my older brother would jam out to it in his firebird car with 2 18" Rockford fosgate subs.

@@tonystark1821 Nice. That would have been the case for me too (seeing them in the states) but I was on my way to an American boarding school in Palma de Mallorca Spain, and we had to stop off in Barcelona (I was with my drummer who was traveling with me, going to the same school). Then I saw advertisements they were playing the following night and no way in hell I was going to miss it. The night before we ran into Steve Harris inside a McDonalds. He was with 3 guys who told us to leave them alone to eat but after we could get autographs. They were lost looking for the hotel so we got to walk with him for almost an hour just talking about music. He promised to leave us passes for the show but the ticket booth didn't have them :( oh well shit happens. We enjoyed the show even though we had to hock personal items just to get a ride to the airport the next day lmao.
That's cool man, I'm a die hard 80s rock fan, I even got a 87 Z28, I love cruising around in the summer blasting my tunes, brings back the good old days

Dunno about you guys, but to me Udo Dirkschneider sounds like Lemmy in the lower register, and Bon Scott in the higher register. That aggression is awesome!!
One of the greatest voices in all metal history. It is like a vocal CHAINSAW! Packed with MEGATONS of venom and attitude. NOBODY can sound like him. Seen and heard many try.
This was when Heavy Metal was awesome. These guys were a terrific German Heavy Metal band and they were quite popular back in the day. As the leader of Accept, Udo Derkschneider was a crazy one no doubt, but he knew how to put on a show with his band, always pleased big crowds. It was a really great band with Wolf Hoffman and Jorg Fisher on guitar, Peter Baltes on Bass and in the back there you had an incredible drummer in Steffen Kauffman. They all just fit in with their front man Udo Derkschneider on vocals. This was a really great song. I always listen to this. Some music like this just never gets old. I miss the '80s so much because that's when we had REAL music.
My uncle, Rob Armitage is a lead singer and left his band called “baby tuckoo” in the 80s to join accept. I’m not sure what happened but after a few months he left and joined jagged edge. He still is one of the best rock voices I’ve ever heard, everyone that hears him says the same. Things didn’t work out for him and he didn’t hit the big time but he toured with Ozzy osbourne and did a concert with Def Leppard. He was my hero when I was growing up. He still sounds mint now.
@@ALLMETAL1970 in my opinion his voice is up there with some of the great rock singers, it’s hard to believe he didn’t make it to the proper big time. If you already haven’t heard it, search on UA-cam for his second baby tuckoo album called “force majeure” and listen to some of the songs on the album......you won’t regret it. It’s as good or better than any other rock from that era. Thanks for replying man!!
@@HuesoTorrante1 thanks man, I didn’t think anyone would remember him or heard his music. Search on UA-cam for his second and best baby tuckoo album “force majeure” and have a listen to that..... cool voice, cool lyrics and the guitar playing is cool too!!
This was one of the first vinyls I ever had as a kid, for a very long time I thought it was an AC/DC record. I remember it had a picture of a wrecking ball on the cover.
He was referring to one song and his statement was accurate... It takes a lot more than 1 song to sell more records. Much radio air play and touring for starters, (promotion sell records)! And it costs money to promote music.
Лежал я как- то в далёкой юности в лазарете с сальмонеллёзом и крутил по кругу единственную кассету. Сторона А - "Balls to the Wall", Cторона Б - "Metal Heart". Врачи, медсёстры и Удо поставили меня на ноги в кратчайшие сроки! From Russia with Love!
underrated? I don't think so. In 1984, soon after this album was released, Musician magazine rated Accept the number 1 metal band in the world. (Scorpions made #2, on the tails of their monster Love at First Sting album)
I was a metal bassist in the 80’s. Possibly the only brother I knew locally in the genre. This track was highly influential on my tastes as was Living Colour. 🎸
Woke up at 4 am for no fucking reason and this came up in the recommendations. Perfect song for swinging my scrotum around the house, screaming at the top of my lungs, and waking up all my neighbors. Thanks, Accept!
One of the few metal bands I first got into after Saxon and Maiden before thrash and always thought Udos voice sounded like the exact centrepoint between Bon and Brian.
I got to see these guys back in the 80’s @ the Old RITZ Theater in NYC!!! They were unbelievably good!! They rocked the hell out of the place!!! I’ll never forget it!!

Probably the first use of Gregorian chant in heavy metal. These guys were way underrated, and are really the foundation for a lot of the speed/trash metal bands that followed.
Accept opened for judas priest at SDSU Aztec bowl on 5-25-81... We had a two kegger n griiling steaks day with 17 closest buddies. Never knew of them until that night. Incredible stage presence... I have every albumn they made....One of my two favorite metal concerts of all time. Up the irons headbangers....!!!
My buddy who graduated from GIT Berkeley said this solo was the most difficult he ever did!!! He nailed it note for note!!!! God bless In Living Color!!!😊
I have a lot of respect for these 80s, German metal heads. They chose to be famous even if it meant "making it" in a language that's not their mother tongue.
@@brianbittermann9331 yes, so true, my friend!! I don't think they would be as cool if they sang in English, but that's because I'm an American. I'm sure Germans don't perceive Rammstein the same way because the language is native to them. They're like, "It sounds normal to me", but Americans like myself find German not only a cool language, but scary and badass too. I say that with respect lol!! :)
Definitely a kick-ass tune! Someone said he sounds like he gargles with sandpaper........ Myself, I think he uses super coarse valve lapping compound! Sandpaper is for desert! Hahaha!

This was a treat to hear. I just heard this on Alice's Attic on KSLX. Hard to believe this song turned 40 this past spring. I was 17, going on 18 in the spring of 84 and was attending Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix. I first heard this on Metalshop on 93.3 KDKB back then. I am 58 these days.
I miss the sound of the 80's, Melody was present, you could move to it, bang your head to it, it made you want to jump and put a first through the Ceiling, Thats METAL!!!!
Back in the 80's when this album came out I liked it OK. Now 35 years or so later, I just came to the realization that they may one of the best metal bands the 80's ever produced.

First time I saw Accept in concert, at Bradley University's Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse in April 1985, I noticed that Udo Dirkschneider sounded like Bon Scott, dressed like Ted Nugent, cut his hair like Rob Halford, and was short like Ronnie James Dio.
I was 13 years old when I first heard this - I’m 29 now. This song and album has such a special place in my heart for giving me a sense of power and pride in being my own person. Accept forever!
I have no balls and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Accept is the best of 80's metal. Many parties back in the day featured the fine Metal of Accept. I tip my glass to best of kick ass.

He was with 3 guys who told us to leave them alone to eat but after we could get autographs. They were lost looking for the hotel so we got to walk with him for almost an hour just talking about music. He promised to leave us passes for the show but the ticket booth didn't have them :( oh well shit happens. We enjoyed the show even though we had to hock personal items just to get a ride to the airport the next day lmao.
The only band I have ever met (post Udo) in '89 I think it was, at a club show. Very cool dudes!
O my this song never gets old, but I do. 52 years old now and still rocking ha ha, and always will
51 myself brother, till the end 👊🏾🤘🏾
That's cool man, I'm a die hard 80s rock fan, I even got a 87 Z28, I love cruising around in the summer blasting my tunes, brings back the good old days
54 this month and still head banging to this song 🤘🤘
That's right lol
Pots almost legal man. 😁
Make any joke you want, that opening riff is solid.
It's like, a wrecking ball... ^_^
Udo the great Singer incredible Band
Yup
Usually I play it in music store when I check guitar
I can't think of a joke, this is amazing
41 years ago…and it still holds up! Udo and Accept will forever go down as metal greats due to this song and Fast As a Shark alone.
The entire album "Balls to the Wall' is FLAWLESS and has aged BEAUTIFULLY.
Acdc should have gotten him for the period just after Scott died instead of haxle rose he butchered those great songs
@@Mark-w2u5w He really would have been perfect.
That guitar riff, the sound production. It's the core of metal!!

Wolf Hoffman is a criminally underrated guitarist.
So is Mick Mars.
Y tenía pelo
He solidified himself as one of the world's best with Metal Heart, to anyone listening back then. Yeah, he was/is phenomenal and underrated stateside.
I feel this band is very underrated a great vocalist some great songs what's not to like
@@mwbrada Metal Heart is a great showcase of Wolf's skills on guitar, the neoclassical riff is such a good part of the song.
Dunno about you guys, but to me Udo Dirkschneider sounds like Lemmy in the lower register, and Bon Scott in the higher register. That aggression is awesome!!
TS: I agree. Good ear!
Top Secret he could easily cover them both!
Top Secret UDO could cover Bon scot any time any where
Doesn't sound like Lemmy at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!! Definitely
Accept was a German hard rock heavy metal band!!!! I'm 56 and i remember these dudes very well!!!;❤❤❤ This song kicks ass!!!!!
I’m 55 ,I seen them 2 in Kingston Ontario Canada,rob hollfard was one of my favourites growing up
@@johnkelman8541rob halford
Accept is still touring.
One of the greatest voices in all metal history. It is like a vocal CHAINSAW! Packed with MEGATONS of venom and attitude. NOBODY can sound like him. Seen and heard many try.
I mean, he ripped off lemme and angus
This was when Heavy Metal was awesome. These guys were a terrific German Heavy Metal band and they were quite popular back in the day. As the leader of Accept, Udo Derkschneider was a crazy one no doubt, but he knew how to put on a show with his band, always pleased big crowds. It was a really great band with Wolf Hoffman and Jorg Fisher on guitar, Peter Baltes on Bass and in the back there you had an incredible drummer in Steffen Kauffman. They all just fit in with their front man Udo Derkschneider on vocals. This was a really great song. I always listen to this. Some music like this just never gets old. I miss the '80s so much because that's when we had REAL music.
If i was a wrestler this would be my entrance song. That choice alone would make me a hall of famer!
Interesting that you mention that because this was an entrance song in the movie The Wrestler
@@chopshec83 I think that's the reason he said that
Well there was already a wrestler who used this as his entrance so you'd be a blatant rip off
Considering Balls Mahoney already existed, I think it’s a bit too late for that.
@@NoxWyatt Mahoney used "Big Balls" by AC/DC not this
My uncle, Rob Armitage is a lead singer and left his band called “baby tuckoo” in the 80s to join accept. I’m not sure what happened but after a few months he left and joined jagged edge. He still is one of the best rock voices I’ve ever heard, everyone that hears him says the same. Things didn’t work out for him and he didn’t hit the big time but he toured with Ozzy osbourne and did a concert with Def Leppard. He was my hero when I was growing up. He still sounds mint now.
Heard him before, fucking great voice
a fking legend your uncle dude!
@@ALLMETAL1970 in my opinion his voice is up there with some of the great rock singers, it’s hard to believe he didn’t make it to the proper big time. If you already haven’t heard it, search on UA-cam for his second baby tuckoo album called “force majeure” and listen to some of the songs on the album......you won’t regret it. It’s as good or better than any other rock from that era. Thanks for replying man!!
@@HuesoTorrante1 thanks man, I didn’t think anyone would remember him or heard his music. Search on UA-cam for his second and best baby tuckoo album “force majeure” and have a listen to that..... cool voice, cool lyrics and the guitar playing is cool too!!
@@pauljamesarmitage5237 that's the album that i know, but didn't know that was on UA-cam :o
If you listen to the lyrics, its pure anarchy and revolution, mind blowing, a masterpiece.
well don't worry my friend, the damned are sure to come soon...
This describes the world today high key
well said
@Cristiano dos Santos Gomes yup
This song is about humanity rising against the $atanic cabal
0:16 One of the Greatest Riff in the Music History
This was one of the first vinyls I ever had as a kid, for a very long time I thought it was an AC/DC record. I remember it had a picture of a wrecking ball on the cover.
Me too, friend! First I though that they were the AC/DC!
Too good of a song to be an AC/DC song.
yeah, and they sold more LP's huh?
He was referring to one song and his statement was accurate... It takes a lot more than 1 song to sell more records. Much radio air play and touring for starters, (promotion sell records)! And it costs money to promote music.
2 great songs. London leather boys kicked ass too!
Accept was the loudest concert I ever went to in the 80s. Balls to the wall just came out.
That would have been more intense than Q anon being fake and ga (censored to circumvent auto ban)ygh.
Лежал я как- то в далёкой юности в лазарете с сальмонеллёзом и крутил по кругу единственную кассету.
Сторона А - "Balls to the Wall",
Cторона Б - "Metal Heart".
Врачи, медсёстры и Удо поставили меня на ноги в кратчайшие сроки!
From Russia with Love!
орк
One of my favorite songs of the 80s
I think this is the most underrated metal song in history!! Udo and the boys are seriously kickin' ass with this song.
i know thats right!
Damn straight
Fucking hell yeah. Totally underrated and a perfect metal anthem.
I agree!
underrated? I don't think so. In 1984, soon after this album was released, Musician magazine rated Accept the number 1 metal band in the world. (Scorpions made #2, on the tails of their monster Love at First Sting album)
I was a metal bassist in the 80’s. Possibly the only brother I knew locally in the genre. This track was highly influential on my tastes as was Living Colour. 🎸
Living Colour are amazing
Metal brothers rip!
@@Ibaneddie76A lot of great German metal in the 80s..
Hell yeah man, listen to my curse from Killswitch engage you’ll like it if you haven’t already heard it! He’s a brotha lol
I saw Living Colour open for the Stones. For me, a metal head, the Stones were just a bonus...lol
I played this yesterday at my nephew's 5th birthday party. Now he has a 4'' long beard and drinks beer
LMAO
Yes! perpetuate the LEGEND !
Damn. They grow up so fast.
A little 'Accept' will do that to ya!
il Barone Rozzo lol too funny
Bon Scott meets Brian Johnson with some Lemmy thrown in, GENIUS.
Germans have some kickass metal!
Scorpions, Sodom, Destruction, Rage, Kreator, Running Wild, Sinner, Grave Digger, Helloween, Rammstein --- Hell yeah, that's some kickass metal!
Don't forger Doro Pesch. Check out "Toten Hosen" too.
voodoorobMesaArizona And let's not forget her first band, Warlock, while we're at it.
Yep, don't forget.
Tankard is also an awesome band from Germany! :D
Essential metal listening, period.
that guitar riff and tone is the blueprint for eighty`s metal.
So bands played aimlessly without direction from 1980 to 1983 when this was recorded?
he meant, if you wanna know how most guitars sounded in the 80s, this one is a good example.
It is a killer guitar riff, fun to play and sounds rocking.
Silver Bane - Ok... You know Jeff better then I do.
yes the style and guitar tone you get it.
Woke up at 4 am for no fucking reason and this came up in the recommendations. Perfect song for swinging my scrotum around the house, screaming at the top of my lungs, and waking up all my neighbors. Thanks, Accept!
This song will last forever in the hard rock annals. It cannot be destroyed.
Grade A badass Hard Rockin’ Heavy Metal 🤘🏻
One of the few metal bands I first got into after Saxon and Maiden before thrash and always thought Udos voice sounded like the exact centrepoint between Bon and Brian.
Still one of the greatest metal anthems EVER!
LIKEWISE! To the modern rock/metal artists (if there ARE ANY, THAT IS!), TAKE NOTE!
Still.....!?? Always bro!!!
I got to see these guys back in the 80’s @ the Old RITZ Theater in NYC!!! They were unbelievably good!! They rocked the hell out of the place!!! I’ll never forget it!!
0:59 can we all just appreciate how crazy powerful this mans voice is
Saw them live in Germany!!!.....3rd Armored Division..."The Rock". 84-86...... great times!!
Never got to see them but was stationed in Hanau 87-89 saw alot of other great metal bands
Man is 83
@@philipbahr7410 I was at Kirch Goens
Nothing like having this song cranked UP as loud as you can stand it on the car stereo with the windows down on a hot summer day... memories

Probably the first use of Gregorian chant in heavy metal. These guys were way underrated, and are really the foundation for a lot of the speed/trash metal bands that followed.
Gregorian ?... They have to perform in Vatican... And the Pope Will try to spell the demons out of Them... But, happilly Will fail.
Too bad they look like total idiots in the video.
Accept opened for judas priest at SDSU Aztec bowl on 5-25-81... We had a two kegger n griiling steaks day with 17 closest buddies. Never knew of them until that night. Incredible stage presence... I have every albumn they made....One of my two favorite metal concerts of all time. Up the irons headbangers....!!!
John Krasovich that's has to be a bad memory. Rock on brother!
John Krasovich keep jamming brother.
My buddy who graduated from GIT Berkeley said this solo was the most difficult he ever did!!! He nailed it note for note!!!! God bless In Living Color!!!😊
I have a lot of respect for these 80s, German metal heads. They chose to be famous even if it meant "making it" in a language that's not their mother tongue.
Accept e D+ Head bangers
I thought they were Australian for some reason. They got that look i guess.
@@justinwilliams9452 haha!! They do kind of look like Aussies, especially Udo lol!!
Rammstien is the only German band that sings in their native language, that's what I love about them
@@brianbittermann9331 yes, so true, my friend!! I don't think they would be as cool if they sang in English, but that's because I'm an American. I'm sure Germans don't perceive Rammstein the same way because the language is native to them. They're like, "It sounds normal to me", but Americans like myself find German not only a cool language, but scary and badass too. I say that with respect lol!! :)
Это золотой состав ! Голос у UDO шикарен , ни с кем не спутаешь !

Roger that! Well said!!
Yeah, THAT RIFF. Then its gone from the rest of the song. I could listen to the beginning all day long. Fuckin Brilliant.
Definitely a kick-ass tune! Someone said he sounds like he gargles with sandpaper........ Myself, I think he uses super coarse valve lapping compound! Sandpaper is for desert! Hahaha!
Work out song, Tesla's hang tough, Sister's Stay hungry, The Heads Overkill, Priest Screaming for Vengeance, Accept. My last mile mix for 5.

This was a treat to hear. I just heard this on Alice's Attic on KSLX. Hard to believe this song turned 40 this past spring. I was 17, going on 18 in the spring of 84 and was attending Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix. I first heard this on Metalshop on 93.3 KDKB back then. I am 58 these days.
The 80's was definitely a time when dancing was rampant, even the metal was rhythmic. Right on
I miss the sound of the 80's, Melody was present, you could move to it, bang your head to it, it made you want to jump and put a first through the Ceiling, Thats METAL!!!!

Definitely unique.. Never heard a metal lyric like “God bless ya!” before… or since.. Loved them then and still on the playlist
Back in the 80's when this album came out I liked it OK. Now 35 years or so later, I just came to the realization that they may one of the best metal bands the 80's ever produced.
iconic guitar tone on this one.... it was blowing minds back then
56 years old now and still rocking planet earth!!!
God Bless ya! Rock on mi gente
😀 👍👍
That guitar tone is so glorious 🤩
Used to listen to this on cassette in my Walkman in college. 80's rock and metal were awesome. Great time to be alive.
This is still my favourite album next to Piece of Mind. Saw them in 85 with Krokus on the Metal Heart tour. Phenomenal show!!!

First time I saw Accept in concert, at Bradley University's Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse in April 1985, I noticed that Udo Dirkschneider sounded like Bon Scott, dressed like Ted Nugent, cut his hair like Rob Halford, and was short like Ronnie James Dio.
Saw them about 2 years ago with priest and thin lizzy and Udo still tore it up
Yup! Are you from the area?
Didn't Thin Lizzy die with Phil Lynott and Gary Moore?
i used to live around the corner from ronnie james in courtland new york in the late 60s untill 1972. i saw him playing in his garage
And kicked ass!
I was 13 years old when I first heard this - I’m 29 now. This song and album has such a special place in my heart for giving me a sense of power and pride in being my own person. Accept forever!
My older brother owned this badass tape.Pure head banging heaven.

If AC/DC and Judas Priest had a baby, Accept is what you would get
You're absolutely right on that. That's the BEST comment you made.
Lol!! True that!!
For reals
Pfffff hahahHha ACDC? Judas Priest? Wtf
You are soooo not wrong.
I have no balls and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Accept is the best of 80's metal. Many parties back in the day featured the fine Metal of Accept. I tip my glass to best of kick ass.

In my opinion this is one of the greatest metal songs ever written.
😅
im 26, but this song was a huge part of my childhood. it was my first "favorite" song, and laid the foundation for my love of rock and metal.
I saw these guys in concert along with Kick Axe & Krokus back in 1985 or ' 86 in Kingston Ontario Canada , what a blast ! I remember this concert well 👍🎸👍✌️
If you remember it that well you weren't paryting hard enough! LOL

@@James-bp5ou I forget what I did 5 min ago ffs.
Fun fact. In 1971, Bon Scott had an abnormal growth removed from his left shoulder. The abnormal growth survived and became the singer of Accept.
Omg my favorite comment ever!..im a bon scott mofo
Funny Dude! I like your thoughts.
Ha. I was trying to put my finger on what the deal with the lead singer was and you nailed it!
I heard this song on serious xm for the first time like a week ago... And I actually thought it was Brian Johnson singing... It's just similar....
