Still blast Metal Church on a regular basis(they released the album XI in 2016, damn good!) and can't believe they were so underrated and under appreciated by the metal masses in the mid to late 80's. Just kick ass metal riffs that helped form some killer songs from that time. Hell, even the videos they released were solid.
Whenever I listen to this song, images play in my mind. Images of a motorcycle driving through a blasted desert while half-seen things with wings circle far, far above in the steel-coloured sky, and smoke smudges the horizon.
Travesty that the original music video for this was cut by like 2 mins....Suppose this was done to try to get mtv to play it, though they only played like once every three months anyway , and at 2:30 in the morning..... :(
Incredible talent!!!!!! RIP Mike Howe ...another legend gone way too soon!!!!!!!! Incredible voice!!!!depression is no joke!!!! It will creep up on you and destroy your body and mind!!!!! It is a silent killer! !!!!! How many more legends from the 80s are we gonna lose this decade?
I remember in my cassette version back in the day. Lol! The lyrics said "patiently waiting, they wait for me to BE" which is wrong, but I always thought that was odd. Killer tune!
I had the cassette but didn't see that. Good eye, good memory but he does say die a little weird but I saw errors in other band's lyrics and wondered how that could be. Probably alcohol, drugs, or apathy
Mike Howe recently rejoined the band and is on tour with them right now in support of their new album, XI. I just saw them perform on Sunday night in KC. Still sounds amazing.
I LOVE YOU MIKE! I SWEAR TO GOD IN 4TH OR 5TH HEAVEN WHERE YOU ARE I LOVE YOU! I COMING TO SEE YOU WHEN IM IN GODS HEAVEN AND TAKING YOU ON A TRIP! SEE YOU SOON! BEAUTIFUL SOUL I'M ON A ROLL TO WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR PARADISE AND SOOTHING RAIN WE DO HV TO MAKE 1 PIT STOP THO I NVR ASKED WHAT FLOOR, BUT HE STAYS WHERE U ARE AND HIS LAST NAMES STAYLEY & YEP 1ST NAME LAYNE! WOW THERE REALLY IS A HEAVEN YOU ALL AND THATS 2 REASONS TO VALIDATE IT! BE GOOD U2 AND FOR ALL STILL HERE. JESUS IS COMING SOON AND GOD HAS BEEN AWAITING YOUR CALL. ✌ 💯💥
This band should have been much, MUCH bigger than they were. I loved this back in the day and it still kills all these years later.
RIP Mike Howe... One hell of a vocalist..
They opened for Metallica on July 4th outside Syracuse NY and ABSOLUTELY blew Metallica away!!!
Mike Howe is the most underrated vocalist of the metal genre
HEY, this is NOT a video!!
No its a movie! And I'm the director!
R.I.P., Mike 😢😢 I'm devastated…
Age 55 way too young. So sad 😢RIP

Without Headbangers ball I probably would not of heard of Metal Church till now, thank God for MTV back in the day.
One of the best songs of all time.
