For sure. Always a filler song at all the parties! Great tune. I recommended it so many times in their streams so finally nice to see them experience it!
She's a natural metalhead...she just gets it...good to see old metal like this still getting around...Accept should've been way bigger than they were...
@@HansStoroy LOL, indeed. I remember thinking how frickin' cool this riff sounded back in my youth, and later, when I picked up guitar, learning to play, I worked out this song...and was horrified to realize how easy it was. What? How could that be? It sounds so dope...LOL
A friend introduced me to Accept in 1982, blew my mind. We lived a hundred miles from nowhere, no place to get a record or cassette. Went on vacation with family in 1985 to Gatlinburg and holy shit, one of the souvenir shops had 3 cassette tapes...I still have them and bought every record they put out since.
Yeah, too few of you guys in the US seemed to get them, but here in Europe they are one of the most legendary heavy metal bands of all time - and still massively successful with both their old and their new material, believe it or not. Thankfully I get the distinct impression that the US is about to reawaken and rejoin the metal party...
God dammit. in '82 I was playing bass with a guy in high school, we were obsessed with European metal. I heard this song on a late night radio show and I just flipped. Next day I was walking down the hall and the guy hands me this album. He said "I heard it yesterday I knew you would flip out when you heard it." I was so stoked I nearly kissed the guy. Also, one of the best live bands from the 80's. Total energy.
I’d forgotten about that song…it really is good. Now I have to go back and listen to Princess of The Dawn, because I seem to remember that as being my favorite Accept song.
@@notwokevikingrules401 I just listened to Head Over Heels for the first time since I was listening to it on my cassette player back in the ‘80s. Great song!
I used to be annoyed that Brad always seemed expressionless while the song was playing, but I now understand that he is absorbing the meaning of the song. Lex balances that out perfectly with her abvios appreciation for the music. Nicely Done by both of you!
The singer's vocal chords are indeed different. He has been singing like that for almost 50 years and he still sounds exactly like the albums. All high notes included. Out of all of the 80's singers I've seen live, his voice has held up the best. Mind blowing, really.
Metal is just as deep as rap can be with the messages. It stemmed from anti-government, anti-war, anti-establishment roots the same way. A lot of it is all about taking back ones personal power and standing up for one's self. Great reaction. Now hopefully you'll react to Krokus some day. Peace and love.
Saw your reaction to this on the live stream...very cool. Accept is one of those bands whose sound cannot be duplicated. The band still performs with a diff singer these days, while Udo (lead singer) also performs with his band. Udo's voice is NOT fake, NOT a method, NOT some weird style..it's REAL and it's natural. He's a complete beast.
Yes! Finest German 80s metal. If you like to check some more bands, here are a few names: Kreator Destruction Sodom Tankard Blind Guardian Helloween Warlock
Doro does an amazing cover of Dio's Egypt (Still the Chains are On) I love all her stuff from Warlock and her solo stuff. She is no doubt the Queen of metal
My father bought this album literally as soon as it came out..remember & always have remembered. I was about 10 or 11..not sure if was 1980, 81 or 82 but I totally remember because I would always wanna look at his album covers..he had everything!!!!
Thank you for playing the full version. Most reactors just do the video which is edited down and it sucks. This song deserves more. Accept is an incredibly great band. Please do more.
Great song and one of the best guitar-riffs ever, in the beginning! They whole album is totally amazing, and they´ve also the one before... YEY!! Happy to feel this again! Gotta go back...
Was working for a local german Rock Band as a Merchandiser, back in the days that had an official approval to cover that song, brings back memories.. Joe from Germany
Was lucky enough to live in San Antonio, Texas my whole life and was there when Joe Anthony brought Accept and Killer Dwarfs to the Majestic Theater for a one off show.
I remember winning the album this song was on from a TV station’s local video program. I drive from South Fulton County (GA) to the station in Chamblee to pick it up. Looking back I probably spent more in gas than had I driven to Turtles 10 minutes away and bought it.
His voice is Lemme meets Bon Scott. Been forever since I've heard the entire song, better than I remember. Brad, yes rock is for anti oppression, live and let live, don't tread on me... and sex and drugs too.
@@richharris9489 After so many years, that's not unusual, and it's all it takes, sometimes. Not everyone can have the consistency of a Metallica for 40 years, although even they have had changes.
Love this band and this album, Accept is my second favorite German band behind the Scorpions, London Leather Boys is another great track off this album.Then they have their older songs like Fast as a Shark,and Princess of the Dawn,so Good 👍
My first concert was when I was 13 in 1984 and it was Ozzy/Accept. I'd never heard of them before. The whole crowd was singing along to the chorus. I can't say I was a big fan but it was fun to sing along with everyone, though.
So glad you’ve got round to Accept. So many good tracks to choose from but please check out Fast as a Shark Princess of the Dawn Up to the Limit For starters, and since you’re moving into European bands check out Krokus. Maybe Headhunter or Eat the Rich for starters.
Lex, you would have fit in quite nicely with the crowd when I was lucky to see Accept with Metallica in 1985. You just let the music take over. Love it! Brad, your eyes as you examed the lyrics were hilarious!
I saw them in 1985 with Krokus. They were great! I had to skip my high school Lip Sync contest to go to the concert - I was going to do this song with my friends in the school contest.
You keep doing songs like this and you're going to get A LOT more followers. Thing with metal is that there are so many bands and the fanbase can be split at times. I'll notice in the chat a lot of metal songs, but it'll be 8 different metalheads calling for 8 different songs at once.
I saw them in a bar in Sacramento back in the day. The singer is so short I could not see him. They had to stop the show to make people back up. In that voice he was pleading with us. It was hilarious and a great show.
Udo Dirkschneider learned English hanging around G.I.s stationed in Germany.I was over there when they was tearing up the festivals.Their song Restless and Wild is one of their best
One of my favorite concerts ever was Accept, Y and T, and Motley Crue at the Manning Bowl in Massachusetts, 1985. I was 20 years old. I stayed around after the concert and partied and hitchiked home to Lewiston, Me the next day. Helix was supposed to play but didn't...never knew why?
This is a Rippin live concert song. I saw them open up for Iron Maiden when they did this song and to hear the whole arena singing "Balls to the Wall" was just AWSOME!!
Can't believe a reaction channel reviewed this! Now this is some old school classic 80's metal! 'Udo Dirkshcnieder'/vocalist (: I saw this band play live, back in the day. They have a great guitar tone too
Accept’s newest stuff is their finest, IMO. “Blood of the Nations” won metal album of the year 2010 and “Stalingrad” is just as good! Wolff Hoffman is a certified bad ass!
One of the greatest metal bands ever. I was lucky to catch them live, oh, maybe ten years back? Yes, they didn't have Udo Dirkschneider on vocals anymore but the "new guy" Mark Tournillo was rough enough to almost make up for that. Besides, they were one guitarist down due to some accident so a tech filled in on some songs. And despite all that they truly kicked arse on that festival, only maybe just getting slightly outshined by Judas Priest who had Halford back on vocals! Great show!
One of my favorite shows from the mid 80's was Accept opening for Dio.....just an awesome show. Funny thing is that both my kids from a very young age loved this song, it was both of their favorites. I think the message from this tune can be taken many different ways, I remember when it came out and knowing they were a German band, I always thought it was referencing the Berlin Wall. I actually joined the Army in 1988 and was stationed in Germany when the wall came down in 89.....it was a weird experience for sure.
OMG I can't believe this is being reacted to! Brings back memories of high school.
Absoluten!
Hell yeah! They need to do fast as a shark.
@@edgervais9377 hi de hi do ha ha
Crom, I feel certain that if Accept were to pray, it would be to Crom
For sure. Always a filler song at all the parties! Great tune. I recommended it so many times in their streams so finally nice to see them experience it!
She's a natural metalhead...she just gets it...good to see old metal like this still getting around...Accept should've been way bigger than they were...
The opening riff is one of the greatest ever!!
Not even top 100….
BJ. Opinions are like.....
Easier and more fun than Smoke on the Water….should be everyone’s first song
@@HansStoroy LOL, indeed. I remember thinking how frickin' cool this riff sounded back in my youth, and later, when I picked up guitar, learning to play, I worked out this song...and was horrified to realize how easy it was. What? How could that be? It sounds so dope...LOL

I couldn't agree more
So many memories listening to these crazy Germans.
These guys are the Most Underrated band of the 80's~
Killer Accept songs to check out - 'London leatherboys' ... 'Fast as a shark' ... 'Princess of the dawn' ... 'Breaker' ... 'Midnight mover' ... 'Up to the limit' ... 'Winter dreams' ... 'Restless & wild' ... 'Teutonic terror' ... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Yes, yes, YES!!
Hung, Drawn, and Quartered... Death Row
@@richardcranium5048 They should also listen to Son of a Bitch LOL
@@XA351GT true
I Accept your list 😜
Maybe put in there Metal Heart
Accept and U.D.O. are excellent bands going for decades. Seen them both live. Love them 🙂
Never heard of them.
@@MetalHeart8787 You're username says otherwise 😁
@@jiibee444 Yeah i was just Joking : )
One of the best heavy metal German bands of all time! They are still going strong with a new vocalist and many great albums since the mid 70s!
Absolutely UDO was very underrated he is in my opinion a top 10 metal vocalist.
Thank`s for reaction Lex !
Heavy metal= the music isnt always the "heavy" part, usually, it's the message that's "heavy". Love you guys. All the best.
No, it's heavy. Just, heavy doesn't mean crazy or fast. Heavy just means heavy. And this song is heavy. Heavy metal.
lol That's exactly what it means
Never expected this reaction to happen. Accept gets so slept on.
Thats because I told them last week
@@Montey15 well I’m glad you suggested it.

Losers and winners off the same album is an excellent song.

so is head over heels
@@notwokevikingrules401 I just listened to Head Over Heels for the first time since I was listening to it on my cassette player back in the ‘80s. Great song!
Losers and Winners is better ;)
@@tghagen1967 its faster but not better
I saw these guys with Iron Maiden way back in the early 80's!! Great Show!!! The crowd went berzerk!!!
Saw same double bill in Toledo Oh.
I saw them on this tour at Red Rocks. Was a really good show.
I thought it was Maiden I saw them with. Saw them in Dayton, Hara Arena, general admission.
Me too, Brother.. Power Slave ...

I think rock and metal are much deeper than rap. It requires a great deal more talent as well.
@@michaelshultz1590 It all depends on the artist
@@susiestone5644 Tupac is deeper than a lot of metal.
@@susiestone5644 Your ignorance is showing.
Such a metal anthem. Accept were a great live act
Accept rocks! More please!
I saw Accept, W.A.S.P, Armored Saint and Metal Church in 84'. They were incredible. Overall great line up and one of the best shows
Saw your reaction to this on the live stream...very cool. Accept is one of those bands whose sound cannot be duplicated.

Just like AC/DC , ACCEPT is straight up rock & roll 🤘🤘🤘
Saw Accept do this LIVE opening for IRON F'N MAIDEN POWERSLAVE TOUR, Mesker Park Amphitheater Evansville IN.
It kicked ass
Yes! Finest German 80s metal.

I still have this album in cassette. Good Times in the 80's
Accept is so under rated, listen to them alot in 80's and have been until now. Great group, they have alot of bangers guys. German band.
Thank you for playing the full version. Most reactors just do the video which is edited down and it sucks. This song deserves more. Accept is an incredibly great band. Please do more.
UDO is the man and is still putting out kick ass music.
Udo Dirkshneider, the singer, is a legend in the world of metal!!!
Udo's voice has been described as sounding like he gargles with broken glass! There is no one else like him!
Goosebumps everytime since the mid-eighties. I love Accept. The new stuff too!
Very cool that you guys reacted to this...keep it up! I would go closer to AC/DC then GNR on the vocals.
This takes me back! I was a big Accept fan in my early teens and I had this album!
Great song and one of the best guitar-riffs ever, in the beginning! They whole album is totally amazing, and they´ve also the one before... YEY!! Happy to feel this again! Gotta go back...
You could rock this so hard driving down any street anywhere. Wait, I think I did it way back when.
Was working for a local german Rock Band as a Merchandiser, back in the days that had an official approval to cover that song, brings back memories..
Joe from Germany
Was lucky enough to live in San Antonio, Texas my whole life and was there when Joe Anthony brought Accept and Killer Dwarfs to the Majestic Theater for a one off show.

Wow. Seen these guys at the old Hammerjacks in Baltimore back in the day. Great show
Not only did Udo Dirkschneider have a distinctive voice, He was also known for being one of the most classically handsome men of all time.
“Classically handsome” 😂😂😂😂😂
And he was classically tall also 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he could have been a body double for Liam Hemsworth
I'm ROLLING @ this comment. Greatness.
@@Country_boy-sz3bn LMAO
Accept and UDO are incredible. I love his distinctive voice!
More of this, please! So many metal classics back then. Loudness, Warlock, Saxon, Helloween, Diamond Head, Angel Witch, Raven, MSG...
Udu is a great frontman...always been a fan. How perfectly appropriate is the message of this song these days.
Memories!!! Love this hard rock metal song !! HEAVY !! Headbangers Ball !!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼!!! sign of victory 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻!!
New and old Accept can't go wrong!
Yeah I like the new Accept as well, they put out great stuff.
Their newest is best, imo.. BOTN AND Stalingrad are unmatched.
To bad their is only one original member left .

One of the best Metal Anthems from the 80's, brings back memories of discovering Metal for the first time back in 1984. Thanks for reacting to it!
I bought this album on vinyl when first released still own it. Ah the 1980s great fun.

For starters, and since you’re moving into European bands check out Krokus. Maybe Headhunter or Eat the Rich for starters.
Screaming in the Night
Well...as much as I like Fast as a Shark, pretty sure London Leatherboys is right at top with BttW ;)
Cant forget Neon Nights
Breaker, Winter Dreams, Metal Heart ...
protectors or terror , objection overrruled , slaves to metal
Accept - fast as a sharke
A wicked, wicked tune. Rock on Brad & Lex
Wow...you actually got Udo and Accept ?!?! A blast from my past. Thanks for that !!! ; )
One of the best heavy metal 🎸 great sounds great music
Some staples of Accept's music are the "march" and the chanting in the background of songs. They'll use them in many of their songs.
Lex, you would have fit in quite nicely with the crowd when I was lucky to see Accept with Metallica in 1985. You just let the music take over. Love it!
Brad, your eyes as you examed the lyrics were hilarious!

I had to skip my high school Lip Sync contest to go to the concert - I was going to do this song with my friends in the school contest.
One of the best and iconic metal voices ever.
This was the song that got me into heavy metal.
Finally. I knew you'd get to this. What an anthem!!
Love your reaction to my favorite metal, Lex has the cutest smile on all of UA-cam.
Strategic-Chill-Plan-Your-Moves Metal :D very good reaction, thank you guys so much
Great song, very gritty, and raw...
Udo has a great voice. I second the call for Fast as a Shark and a reaction or two to Kreator (Phobia, Phantom Antichrist)
I third fast as a shark
UDO performed with Russian band Aria?
Kreator - Enemy of God

Helix got busted with fake vax passports just before their showtime so they were nixed.

Udo is in a class all by himself vocally.
Gotta love '80s Euro-metal!
You have to see the official video!
These two would be fun as hell to bring to a Metal concert. They totally get it.
What Brad said at the end: very apropos message for current times, isn't it? Spot on, my friend.🤘
Accept’s newest stuff is their finest, IMO.
“Blood of the Nations” won metal album of the year 2010 and “Stalingrad” is just as good!
Wolff Hoffman is a certified bad ass!
When I bought my first electric guitar before I knew how to play, this was the song I played to practice my stage presence
Accept is how Metal is done. They are no contest my all time favorite band
The lyrics are so relatable in this day and age!
For your Halloween Party, you do Accept 's Midnight Mover. I do every year.
Reacting to albums I had so many years (decades) ago is making my days.
Classic. Love it. Was popular for a minute
Love this lyric video,especially the Line that stays up throughout.
Brad nailed it.
I remember hearing this on the radeo as a child in the 80s. I miss the 80s.
Very 80s euro metal...great band
This a true classic heavy metal song.
Great song. Thanks for sharing that one. Motorhead and Aerosmith both have songs called "Eat the Rich".
