I was 18 when Blessing was released and I bought it on C-cassette. This was the first song I always play when I want someone wants to hear Metal Church.
@@oulosvie Great choice. I'm sure I was aware of MC, but I was a bit younger and saw the Badlands video and that was always 'my' Metal Church. Phenomenal song.
Not many his age coming out with stuff like Living by the numbers. Lemmy and Halford are the only ones in the metal world I know of hitting that intensity over 50. Sux HUGE loss:/ Well maybe he was bumming from covid or some ailments? Had to be something to want to leave the hero life behind. :(
A real metal band . Along with PRIEST, Primal Fear , Accept, Iced Earth, And not like the bullshit bands who shouldn't be so big ... Slipknot Korn Disturbed Lamb of god etc All rubbish and not authentic metal Just Dark and Scream obsessed
First, Jeff leaves the band. Mike passed (RIP Mike Howe). And I don't like the replacements.... Love seeing videos like this to remind me how good this band was... Mike's voice was so powerful...
@@unsoundrob He sounds incredible here. You see a lot of vocalists struggle to pull off their past work but it’s just flawless. . Such a tragic loss of a bad ass frontman
@@MaCNuTz-tu8ot I was lucky to have seen them twice with Mike back in the band, and hearing him sing ‘Badlands’ was a real dream come true. He was effortless in his delivery, and had even more range and power it seemed. The last albums he did with MC were incredible, and it makes it all the more tragic how things ended up.
Not often a replacement singer can complement an original to close or surpass its former glory! :) They even nailed it live another feat!!!¿¿¿ YUB NUB AF!!!¿¿¿
Kind of an analogy....This earth is the Bad Lands...and his journey has come to an end.....what an incredible loss....The Badlands won unfortunately!!!! Took another special awesome soul from us way too soon!!!! He seems like a very down to earth nice guy....what a horrible loss...I grew up as a teen listening to this and this song brings back great memories of a carefree time in the 80s...Best times of my life...
Remember seeing these guys when I was eighteen at Operation Rock & Roll back in 91. I won the tickets from W.S.O.U. and took my best friend. We wanted to mainly see Metal Church.
That’s awesome, what a great year to have seen them touring on Blessing In Disguise. And WSOU is the greatest college station ever, I was lucky to have grown up nearby and listened everyday. Still tune in when I’m in the area to see what they’re playing.
r.i.p mike the best singer for a best band !!!!!
Agreed, and a great human being also.
🌆🖤🎸⚡🔥🍷🇨🇱
what a loss. senseless. Thanks for the post. Was there on the right side in the back. I remember thinking how great Mike's voice sounded.
It's crazy how great Mike sounded. Great show, great venue.
Never understood why this band wasn’t bigger, incredible stuff
Awesome 👍🇦🇺👍
Awesome 🤘🇦🇺🤘
He was just an Amazing singer ❤
Omg this brings me back to when I was 16 one of the greatest songs ever written R.I.P MR. HOWE!
I don't record many songs but made it a point to record Badlands. Genius tune, Mike Howe was a super talented songwriter.

Who is on 2nd guitar? Is that crhis Caffery?
Just learned from this video title that Mike Howe passed away. Sad to hear this news. RIP
Oh man, I’m sorry you had to hear this way. Seems like his passing got lost in a lot of other tragic news last year. RIP MH ⚔️
is that Dukes there on bass instrument? Dukes made band, dukes with headpiece and bass fingers, he thrived them
Mike, ich liebe dich! Warum????
Mei really Name is Michael!! 👍✌️👌
Servus;)
Jeff Plate on drums
Jeff Plate rules! And Chris Caffery on Guitar, half of the latter era Savatage lineup, played that night with them also🤘
Love yous badlanders is love tries hearts ours lovesongs beautiguls forevers frees trues love us forevers forevers un8versals kings love true 24 7
Shame. His vocal was still so powerful RIP Mike
Absolutely. He still had such a strong voice, and I felt much more to say. XI and Damed If You Do are incredible albums!

I can't believe it! .. good trip master, now you will sing with David Wayne, we already miss you ... R.I.P. I'll see you in the stars. ..
R.I.P. Damn. Walk through our badlands…
Brutal. Somehow we'll find our way..
What a shame.He 's a fantastic vocalist RIP Mike,Thanks for your music and members of Metal Church.Greetings,Frits"the Culprit"
It’s tough to accept, but thankfully we have Mike Howe’s music 🙏🤘
A real metal band .
Along with PRIEST, Primal Fear , Accept, Iced Earth,
And not like the bullshit bands who shouldn't be so big ...
Slipknot
Korn
Disturbed
Lamb of god etc
All rubbish and not authentic metal
Just Dark and Scream obsessed
Mike Howe vocals threw out the years help me through some tough times....I will miss him......
I was there in 2019 when they played the chance.. they were awesome they hung out after the show
What a killer show, I was there also. Mike was always the last one in the venue talking to fans after the show. Total class act.
Lucky man
🤘🏼🤘🏼

I was beyond thrilled when Mike Howe returned. Trying to keep an open mind for what lies ahead from Metal Church.

Holy hell they were great live
Just phenomenal, especially in recent years.
