I been listening to Cirith since i was 18 now im 55, still listening. And dude yes has a very cool voice and can still make it sound good today. But with how much electronics. They most definitely got a sound all their own which is very unique. And that along with wtf wrote the lyrics to these songs and put them to this type of music. Very talented and impressive. Wow !!

I just stumbled on to this video. A lot of people don’t know that in the late 70s and early 80s , Ventura county had a a lot of good heavy bands . I was in a couple of them and we did gigs on the same bill as these guys. I knew all of them . Went to hang out with Jerry a couple of times at his converted garage bedroom in his parents house( we were all very young then). Robbie was ( and I’m sure still is ) a friendly guy. Played basketball with Tim a few times . I’ve got to hand it to them. They never gave up. I got married and got out of the metal game in the mid 80s . When I heard what happened to Jerry it made me sad.
Cirith Ungol was never my favorite band. I had to grow old to understand they are unique and great. Since I am sick of overproduced albums their brand new album is revelation 🤘🤘Better now than never!
@@samueladams6207 No one called me poseur back in 80's. Perhaps you grew up in 90's. I grew up in Yugoslavia and not so many ppl were into Cirith Ungol, only nowadays there's bunch of their followers. I liked CU but wasn't hyper listening to them tbh, disliked bands like Poison and all generic glam metal bands but Shout at the Devil and first 3 of Crüe were one of my favorites - heavy metal, whatever you think so I am not poseur nor elitist.. At least American look on matter is quite different. I really don't know any great American metal band in 2000's but Symphony X or Iced Earth e.g. Bunch of squiking, grunt, boring d tuned shit is pucture of current social situation of US imho, boring and depressive, thus Scandinavian and European scene offer more diversity and not cruel industrial exploitation of depression and despair. Sorry, didn't mean to insult you or anyone else, just my opinion of 2000's (90's were even worse everywhere). ed: I gave a like to your reply, it's honest guess.
Seems like nobody got it back then. I was blasting Cirith Ungol, Death and Possessed in The early 80's. Everyone else was blasting quiet riot, Journey, and triumph.
my friends i were there to see pandemonium. and ciruth ungol was the opener....didnt know who they were . but after seeing them had to buy there record.....been a fan of there first record forever.......
Pandemonium started in the LA club circuit by supporting Cirith Ungol in 1981... and in 1984 it was the other way around. That's interesting and also really weird, especially while comparing 'Heavy Metal Soldiers' to 'King Of The Dead'. Somebody at Metal Blade must have really hated Cirith Ungol :D
@@staalhard666 Pandemonium came out of Alaska originally; I remember reading that. I think it was even mentioned in a Metal Blade magazine ad for their album at the time.
remember every time you see the crowd in the front standing still not headbanging or going wild ,, this is the time they are seeing something special and are in awe of what's happening
Just came across this and it's so cool! Just watched the 2018 show on Rockpalast. Saw them at a Battle of the Bands near Wagon Wheel in Oxnard around 1983 or so. They frickin shredded the place! Best to all!
Such an incredible band. Back in the early 80s none of my people got it. So happy to see them make such an incredible comeback and get the respect they deserve from the young kids. Always in rotation on my turntable. 🔥💀🔥
This is one of those bands that had to grow on me, but once it did... Magick! In 1984 at the time of this concert, I was only 10 years old and had no idea about heavy metal. Still wish I could have been there... ;-)
Me too I was 9 and still thought the heaviest band was Twisted Sister then in 90 or 91 I seen Paradise Lost at Record and Tape traders and bought the cassette True Metal 😈
LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE ESCUCHE A CIRITH UNGOL SENTÍ ALGO ÚNICAMENTE COMPARABLE A LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE ESCUCHE A MERCIFULL FATE. PURA MAGIA, PURA MALDAD. GENIOS...
I feel the same kind of an all over the place metal not like the carbon copy Sabbath worshippers kind of early prog vibe too Tim's voice is so unique😁😛😄
I am owning the first vinyl record. I was supprised that an 80s metal band dares to stay with that pure ans minimal sound. And now i see, that the can provide that exact sound on stage. I have the feeling, 10 years earlier and they where gods.
Didn`t have the chance to see them in their early days. It`s a bloody long way from Europe to the US. But with videos like that I can dream I was there!
I didn't have a chance to see them back then either, but I've got my ticket to see them tomorrow! They've played Europe recently, and I'm sure they will return, so....
I was in another local band in Ventura cali in the late 70s and 80s. We did a couple of gigs together. They were unique and we were not. Tims voice is still in great shape. I loaned my Rickenbaker to the bass player once and I loved how it made them sound, it reminded me of Rush.
that was the place to see concerts..ive seen Accept there twice,Raven,motley crue and Metallica ...sadly i missed this concert..i still have my ticket stubs..i showed james hatfield my ticket stub and concert flyer after he said they never played a small club in reseda,,,he ate his words..
This should be mandatory for any fan of metal. How many vocalist can match this intensity!
Lance Shaffner yes!!
And stil have it
@@mottosierra1372 Yep. Still sounds the same today. It's crazy.

This is a alltimes great band
i still play their records today, after 4 decades… maybe one of the best heavy bands of all times, sadly very underestimated.
Can't believe this shit is 4 decades old now. And how did I never hear about this band back in the day?

I didn't understand their music when I was young. Now after a years I realised how good band it is! One of the best heavy metal ever!
Siła!
These are the best guitar solos ive ever heard
Cirith Ungol was never my favorite band. I had to grow old to understand they are unique and great. Since I am sick of overproduced albums their brand new album is revelation 🤘🤘Better now than never!
ABSOLUTELY, ZORAN !!! IT USUALLY HAPPENS TO ME WITH SOME BANDS I DIDN'T KNOW.
We called your type poseur back in them days lol

@@zoranpavlovic9540 pozdrav ;)
Me too pal. Cirith Ungol was a slow burn for me.
jerry fogle, guitar GOD, forever RIP, some of the best leads ever written.
Wow, he was something, looking back. Dang!
@@Alhazarad Yeah I was big into CU like 14 yrs ago, still dig 'em of course!

CIRITH UNGOL = Black Sabbath + Rush...... also one of the coolest metal vocalists
I’d say more Manowar meets rush, but they’re fucking awesome for sure
manowar? no way@@TheLegendaryGerbil
Real and powerful metal. Cirith has always have there sound!!
remember every time you see the crowd in the front standing still not headbanging or going wild ,, this is the time they are seeing something special and are in awe of what's happening
whatever man,most probably they are not familiar with their music..
Surprisingly great quality sound for such an old video. Thanks for uploading this 🤘
Vocals, bass, guitar, drums. They all sound great
one of my greatest loves of all bands... they were a big part of my childhood
Just came across this and it's so cool! Just watched the 2018 show on Rockpalast. Saw them at a Battle of the Bands near Wagon Wheel in Oxnard around 1983 or so. They frickin shredded the place! Best to all!
Jim Barazza is such an underrated guitarist.. Totally shreds man. \m/
But this is Jerry Fogle, who was an awesome guitarist all the same.
not to say that Jim Barazza isn't awesome
I thought almost the contrary, this are no shred solos jeje is not really fast or clean, but have charm
The band plays amazingly, but Jerry Fogle's talent shines especially brightly! RIP genius... 🙏
Perfection...
Caramba, esse video é um achado, parabéns aos envolvidos na gravação da época e pelo trabalho e guardar o material até ser disponibilizado.

Death of the Sun my very 1st Cirith Ungol song i ever heard off Metal Massacre 1 i believe

Absolutely fantastic

This is simply amazing! They are truly masters of the pit!
Didn`t have the chance to see them in their early days. It`s a bloody long way from Europe to the US. But with videos like that I can dream I was there!

You lucky one. They played Rock Hard Festival in Germany this year. There`s a video posted here at YT
I was in another local band in Ventura cali in the late 70s and 80s. We did a couple of gigs together. They were unique and we were not. Tims voice is still in great shape. I loaned my Rickenbaker to the bass player once and I loved how it made them sound, it reminded me of Rush.
Never even heard of these guys until today, but they put on a heckuva live show! 🔥
Amazing video. Loved.
that was the place to see concerts..ive seen Accept there twice,Raven,motley crue and Metallica ...sadly i missed this concert..i still have my ticket stubs..i showed james hatfield my ticket stub and concert flyer after he said they never played a small club in reseda,,,he ate his words..
Awesome band. They had and have a totaly own style! Superb.
SiiiiiiiiCCKK!!!!!!!!
Cirith Ungol: immortal, sacred band!!!!!!
Manilla Road too!!!
AMAZING UPLOAD! THANK YOU. GREAT FOOTAGE, AND CU STILL RULES METAL.
Good live mixing.. Great band.
I was born in 81 I wish my parents were into this
I can die happy now that I’ve heard this.
The soundboard recording has really stood the test of time.
Absolutely awesome!! Too bad they weren't around longer!!
They're back and their new album is out in a couple days. And they sound fantastic! Listen to witch's game
As good as this is, and it's great, they sound even better now! Celebrating the Resurrection of Cirith Ungol!
Great live
Fantastic!
Jerry Fogle's guitar tone was utterly unique
still a second guitar is lacking
@@rehlinho say that to Black Sabbath, Motörhead, and Dio 😂
I hear a lot of Randy Rhodes in his style
Rest in Peace.
I don't feel a second guitar lacking
Uffff, Súper Heavy.
EXCELLENT!!! ОТЛИЧНО!!!
самая лучшая группа из америкы в 1979-82 год
Да, я тоже впечатлён.
Dude was a shredder,gawd dam..
I have a couple of their albums 🎸🎸
they only have a couple albums :D:D
@@itkojecockot They had 4 before the reunion.
Long Live Kings of the Dead.
So underrated.
What a dead crowd. This band is absolutely amazing,
People wasnt ADHD like today. Music first.
UNDERRATED
Starting off the set with I'm alive is a strange decision
36:30 Good song, but never quite cuts it with the live bass. The recording was better.
Such a "FUN" bunch to have around! They were great! RIP Jerry
19:02 when the LSD hits
Fucking bad ass
Bad ass!
They sound fantastic. They have been gone far too long
Wow!!!!
Dale Fogle !!!!!!
Jerry Fogle?
Well praise be to Azmodeus
Fuckin rad🤘
I would give my right foot. To see these guys with maiden.. If only. 🔮.So has been written .So it shall be done
Как удивительно иногда бывает - познакомиться с одной из лучших хеви металл групп в мире в 60+ ❤😅
Impressive band. Some Death Metal vibes here in 1984 hehe...
Yes, some serious growling
How is this crowd so calm? There should be CHAOS. To see this epic band in their heyday I would have torn myself apart. I was 11 in 84
We really didn't quite get it then, kinda ahead of the game.
@@Alhazarad no. this is not that type of music to be chaotic to. relax and take it in. appreciate it instead of monkeying around
What's with the band name
lord of the rings
Metallica who?
You Got it!!!
Sick unique band..better than all glam bands..up there with the crüe
Motley Crue was glam. This is more traditional/doom metal..

People who sing like this are funny.
Whaddy mean funny !? CAN YOU EVEN sing or something ?
Well...that's really bad.
You must have meant "badass".
So, that's what she said?
No it is not bad at all. but it would sound better with 2 guitars to fill it out a bit.
Yeeeeah the great cirith ❤
