The progenitors of the triple axe attack. If you like Mike Olivieri’s voice you have to give the Soul sign album “Life in the dark’ a listen, cause he provides the vocals on that. Carey and him are still a helluva pair of axe-slayers.
This is perhaps the most realistic music video that portrays a band's quest for success. And it's uncomfortable to know that a team of this caliber never got the recognition it deserved. Forever Leatherwolf!!!!
I remember helping make this video! Carey Lived next door, and Michael O around the corner. Being the "roadie" for the summer was one of the best times of my teenage life. Thanks LW for listing me right before "all our fans:" on the Thank Yous on the back of the album!
I met their vocalist, Michael, today while I was in work. Absolutely top man whom was out with his family in the horrible Irish weather. I said I would look them up and after doing so, I have concluded that their music is great :-) plenty of depth to it which you dont get with a lot of today's music.
Such a great fuckin' band. The 1980s were the best. The heaviness, production, melody, songwriting, musicianship, they have it all. This band has some really stellar material.
"For those who dare..." Yeah,for those who DARE to seek out and LISTEN to AWESOME music like this! Those RIFFS,that VOICE!!! Hear the LEATHERWOLF calling!
When people mention the "Golden Years," they are surely talking about this time in rock history that put so many of us on top of the world. This was our food, our drink, our medicine, our therapy, our love!! We had it all.
AMEN or LIKEWISE! Been into rock/metal since 1978 (thanks to a band called: KISS!). TO THIS DAY, rock/metal music (particularly "old school" and "underground") IS MY LIFE/MY ESCAPE!
MadLane Nirvana ushered in the death knell for heavy metal along with marble-mouthed Pearl Jam. Those dirtballs didn't last and the record companies screwed metal for good as not much comes from them !
Saw these guys in the Summer of '89 and they just killed it with the triple guitar attack and it was one of the most epic performances I had ever witnessed ! They should have been so much bigger as they had something very unique compared to all of the other bands at that time !
Leatherwolf has been my favorite band since back in the 80s when I first heard them. My favorite song is Thunder. It has some wierd-ass lyrics! This band is awesome!!
Signed bands in the 80s and early 90s had to deal with terrible record company’s that would just put them on a shelf and use them for tax write offs and ruin their careers. They would put you on bad tours and not promote your records then drop you from the label a couple years later claiming you didn’t sell enough records. People think that once you got signed you were “on your way” but the truth is, that’s when the true struggle would start.
One of the most underrated American Heavy Metal bands of the 80's. Such a catchy yet melodic and heavy sound, I keep coming back to the first two albums they released.
Leatherwolf never disappoints! A damn good kick ass heavy metal band through and through! Couldn't get enough of the album Street Ready when it was released, completely wore out 2 Cd's! Damn those where the days!
Here's me trying to track down vinal and cassette tapes like an privet investigator and you ancient one's had this type of music on the daily radio, im 92 born by the way, you oldies had it good with music.
Fortunately this was my hometown band and I got to see so many shows from backyard parties to opening for Queensryche at Irvine Meadows. What incredible talent these guys are still to this day.
I'm also from Westminster and Fountain Valley, HB living in Arizona, first seen them live at Mile Square Park battle of the bands, was blown away. Had moved from Virginia in 1981 never heard rock music, hardest thing on radio out their back then was Journey or Toto 😂 my parents couldn't get me to leave that's when I fell in love with rock! music music and 😅
Me too turned 20 1982 30 1992 my 20's was best decade time of life want to go back stay in that decade yes was hard but better than anything from 2000 on up
So good to hear Hard Rock still being delivered in a traditional, but fresh style. Dig the tune very much. Be looking forward to the album, & stoked to hear Mike Drive's voice belting out the goods. Always been one of my favourite vocalists🤘
I use to watch this band in Hacienda Heights/La Puente Ca in backyard parties, they use to do a lot of Iron Maiden cover and Judas Priest covers, and they kicked as on the song sinner by Judas Priest. You could hear the influence on one of their songs called spider, with the into feedback on the guitars. Then they started to make it big and I followed them to lots of club and man they would have the best shows and after parties. I love use to love this band after watching this video I still do.
This is their second album, their debut is self titled. It's much more raw sounding, if you know what I mean. Songs like, "Spiter" and "Season of the Witch" will kick your @$$!🤘🖤
Good God, how I loved the first EP. Those vocals. Gee. And then the Leatherwolf full length 'debut' was released and ripped me a new one. What a band. The only thing I regret is not seeing them in Germany end of the 80s.
long hair is essential for the image of rocknroll because they are special gifted people and deserves special personality. people often dislikes this kind of looks, but to me they look superb.
I have an addiction to 80s metal like this usually I'm able to keep it under control but sometimes I relapse and this has been quite a nice treat for a junkie like myself.
I met this guy's in Eindhoven Holland they where verry friendly and greath musicians as well the eighties when rock music was greath now one can take that away from me The Calling a hell of a song Leatherwolf love them

This is awesome! Frickin' Paul used to HOOK ME UP with my drum sound at the Troub. (Back when i was with Lucky 13) People thought I was GOD cuz his drum mix was so damn good. Thanks for the GREAT sounds Paul!
There were a lot of under rated bands of 80's! Look at y @ t , hurricane, etc! Poor management and promotion 's from the record companies knocked along of bands off their rockers and they were
I agree with all who say this is real metal; unlike that garbage they try to pass off as metal today. I was in my 20s in the 80s and had the opportunity to see many live metal acts. Glad to see there are so many of you out there who think for themselves are don't buy into what record executives say we should like today. Maybe with enough of us out there, this type of great music will return.
2:49 reminds me of Marina High School in Huntington Beach🌊 in 1979. I used to cruise around in the back of the little blue truck they had with the long roach clip feathers they had hanging from the rear view mirror back when things were totally fun and awesome. Yeah those were the days! LSD and THC and beer 🫠and it wasn't illegal to ride in the back of trucks back then. LOL 😉
Crazy!. At shows, Rockers, Phx AZ around 87. Halford there and he jumped up on stage with them. Being a guitar player, jammed out in the parking lot acoustically and singing along with many who weren't ready to end the night after shows. Did that many times and it was an incredible time and place. Phenomenal bands, partying, beautiful girls. Just awesome! Man, I'd give anything to relive those nights.
Awesome tune! I saw a vid of these guys from Rocklohoma a few years ago and they were on the side stage in the middle of the day and there weren't many people. It was a shame. They are very good.
I agree it's a shame, but remember, they're still able to play for people who actually care about their music, when's the last time you saw wham? or boy george or the po(Ifuckinghateyou)lice, etc., actually able to tour where anyone really gave a fuck? Just remember that.
One of the BEST UNDER rated heavy metal bands to ever come out of the 80's.......PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely! This song is great and Street Ready is criminally unknown...
The 3axe guitar attack! This band ripped!🤟
No arguments here brother 🍻
Lol is that why their playing for free at small clubs right
The progenitors of the triple axe attack. If you like Mike Olivieri’s voice you have to give the Soul sign album “Life in the dark’ a listen, cause he provides the vocals on that. Carey and him are still a helluva pair of axe-slayers.

Wouldn't give up the 80's for nothing!!!!
@@Icarusvampire AMEN or LIKE-F**KIN'-WISE!
AMEN or LIKE-F**KIN'-WISE! In my opinion, the 80s WERE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, "THE PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!"
Criminally underrated band.
i was gonna say the exact same thing !!!
"For those who dare..." Yeah,for those who DARE to seek out and LISTEN to AWESOME music like this! Those RIFFS,that VOICE!!! Hear the LEATHERWOLF calling!
Dear Heaven above, as Loverboy says, "THE LADIES OF THE 80s!"

when the music was great and people was allowed to be young and have fun !! Excellent band !!
you know it
Phoenix van der Weyden Yep. Up until Nirvana killed music.
Nirvana didn't kill music lol they made it even better the problem is that no one was able to follow their level only just a few
MadLane Nirvana ushered in the death knell for heavy metal along with marble-mouthed Pearl Jam. Those dirtballs didn't last and the record companies screwed metal for good as not much comes from them !
John Heck though you should thank nirvana and the grunge movement because they put back many 80's rock bands in fame.
Three words:
Triple Axe Attack.
OMG! Lived it!
Heck yeah🎸
Saw these guys in the Summer of '89 and they just killed it with the triple guitar attack and it was one of the most epic performances I had ever witnessed ! They should have been so much bigger as they had something very unique compared to all of the other bands at that time !
Very underrated band! These guys kick ass! \m/
i agree!!

I did and always will love Leatherwolf. The absolute best melodic rock you’ll ever hear. These guys were the Kings.
Leatherwolf has been my favorite band since back in the 80s when I first heard them. My favorite song is Thunder. It has some wierd-ass lyrics! This band is awesome!!
Listen to Lion and Tytan on side with Kal Swam
Thunder is my favorite song too. Also love Hideaway. Anything by Leatherwolf is awesome.
Yep, favorite band. Thunder is taken from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, The Challenge or Thor. Weird lyrics indeed 😁🤘

That whole triple solo part is what I live for. I'm so grateful for these bombass licks. They look like a true metal band

How in the literal fuck have I not heard of these guys until today?
The album that this song came out 1987 I was 25 and yes I was listening to these guys I fell in love with them after hearing this song
This should have been right in my wheelhouse as a teen in this era, but somehow I never heard them either.
1987 till the infinity!
These guys were so UNDERRATED!! MICHAEL has AMAZING VOCALS and the BAND WAS AWESOME!!! SAW THEM WITH WARRANT AND QUEENSRYCHE
Fantastic music. Those vocals are excellent. A real talented band. The combination is great!!!

Being a guitar player, jammed out in the parking lot acoustically and singing along with many who weren't ready to end the night after shows. Did that many times and it was an incredible time and place. Phenomenal bands, partying, beautiful girls. Just awesome! Man, I'd give anything to relive those nights.
Saw them in a club in Dallas Tx in 89. 3 harmony guitar leads. Awesome 👍
Awesome tune! I saw a vid of these guys from Rocklohoma a few years ago and they were on the side stage in the middle of the day and there weren't many people. It was a shame. They are very good.
I agree it's a shame, but remember, they're still able to play for people who actually care about their music, when's the last time you saw wham? or boy george or the po(Ifuckinghateyou)lice, etc., actually able to tour where anyone really gave a fuck? Just remember that.
