I could listen to this song every day for the rest of my life and never grow tired of it. RIP one of the best Rock/Blues groups to ever do it
One of the best bands I had the privilege of doing lights & sound for! Then Dimwit, (Ken Montgomery) died. He was the original drummer for DOA. The Four Horsemen were contracted to do 4 albums. Their second album, without Dimwit, had "A Song For Absent Friends", a tribute song for Dimwit. A year after that, Frankie Starr crashed his Harley & was in a coma, for 3 years, before he died. The band didn't record the 3rd or 4th albums. Dimwit & Frankie, may your glasses always be full!
was there ever a best opening to a music video????
I hate it that genius like this never made it to the masses ....when you think of all the shite that made it big it shows that there really is no justice in this world ...
I just thank the gods of rock that the video is still here for us to enjoy
Song still holds up today as a great rock song
One of, if not the best hard rockin band to come out of the 1990s....RIP The Four Horsemen. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys opening for Anthrax back in 1994. WOW.
You cannot be a rock and roll fan and NOT like this. RIP Frankie and Haggis. God blesses his rock and roll angels.
I heard this on a rock station the other day and the DJ intro'd it with ....
" I'll now play you a song by a band that should have ruled Earth"
Like that DJ , I too recall first hearing The Four Horsemen and this tune and thought... "man, these guys are fuckin' great" .
Awesome band.. great song.
Sadly Kurt Cobain was destroying the world at that time.
Rocky Stradlin lol he only ended up destroying himself
George Anderson Yeah
+JackinRI ya they were very under rated band, and like Rocky said.. if they came out 5-10 years earlier they would have been more successful but grunge was just breaking through then.
I saw them in Atlanta opened for Skynyrd, I went and bought the cassette, still have it ,won't part with it either
Stil in love with this song even I come across this music group today after 15 years before.
I have loved these guys since they first came out, I think that they were/are way underrated! This whole cd is really awesome.
One of the thing's I love about the '90's,..great music like this!!!
Kick ass song, Kick ass band, wish they were still here.
i have all ways loved this band because i think its real rock ... just my two cents peace bros
the drummer and vocalist passed away .....they left us with the best rock music of the early 90's ...thats as just as fresh and wholesome as the day it was conceived
Birth: 1958 Death: Jun. 18, 1999
Heavymetal/Rock Musician. A native of Long Island, New York, Starr was born Frank Casamassina. Known for his rough attitude and bulliness Starr was the son of a former biker, and a somewhat biker himself. In the 1980s, he signed a record deal with the Mongol Horde Record Label with his band, 'Alien.' The group included Starr who was lead singer, guitarist Brian Fair, guitarist Rikki Kristi, bass player Damien The Beast Bardot, and drummer Roxann Harlow. They rel
thanks for sharing this. If I could go back in time and see any band, it'd be these guys. Frank Starr is my fav frontman of all time
R.i.P. Ken "Dimwit" Montgomery!!!
Had the pleasure of seeing this amazing band open for Anthrax in 1993. Ass duly kicked.
i come back here week after week ...drink a few beers and marvel at how good they f*%$in were .....long may it continue
The greatest entertainer around the it's so awesome to hear real music once again thank you for sharing your beautiful song's an thnx for ur awesome band you have that awesome heavy sound thnx from ur friends and fans up here in NBC Canada country
rocked Canada with this band in the early 90s. As there FOH tech . Dave Lezmi was not from the cult , he was from LA, they had Dimwit playing drums , he was from BC and the singer and bass player were also from LA . They had great response but had tragidys. First Dimwit OD and then the The singer was in a motorcyle accident and never recovered.
God Bless them NOBODY SAID IT WAS EASY, Rock and roll heaven , toronto was there first appearance in ontario
To think of the hights these guys could've reached just boggles the mind. This band and this song will always be at the top of my charts.
it just gets better and better ...superb rockin track
Love this tune! It's one of those songs that just gets every element right. The guitars/riffs are rude ,the drums bash away in the pocket and the singer sounds awesome. Great lyrics awesome image one of my all time favorite songs to this day. I lift weights to this song all the time it really gets me going on days that I don't want to lift.
One of the all time classics,that hardly got any airplay.
+Randy Nailling Couple of friends of mine bring their Harleys over and we use my garage as the shop and bar. We always listed to Rockin is my business and Metallicas Sandman. Found a old used Fender amp and turn up the volume. Long live rock.
i was on tour with these guys working for the opening band, Wildside, and they were a GREAT band with GREAT music. They were ALL a great bunch of guys and i enjoyed touring with them more than anybody else. RIP Frank, we both had a love of motorcycles, and RIP Dimwit, hardest hitting drummer i have ever seen.
Probably one of the biggest underrated bands of the 90's.... Great musicians too.
God damn these fellas bring the ROCK. What a great, under appreciated band. Why they never found mainstream success will always remain a mystery to me.
One of the best you'd ever see.. its too bad that they are "no more".
Bro I am 42 (43 next month) I am still a punk rocker but loved all that TSOL, Junkyard, 4 Horsemen etc etc it all had punk roots all the best "rock" bands all had punk roots! Cheers!
'Nobody said it was easy ... ' is a classic album .Its Up There ...with the great albums of all time !!! I love the guitarplaying on that album and yeah the Four Horsemen rocked liked like the Apocylpse !!! It is Music that never gets old because it rocks ...; )
@Gov502010... Close... The drummer was Ken "Dimwit" Montgomery and he was the brother of Danzig's drummer, Chuck Biscuits. Chuck took over briefly on drums for the Horsemen after Dimwit died. Frank C. Starr died, 4 years after the accident, from injuries suffered when he was hit by a drunk driver on his motorcycle. Ron Young (Little Caesar) took over on vocals.
This album was out the year I went to university. Good times.
still listenin RIP Frank
Bad ass band with some fantastic songs. I miss 'em.
Great great album!! I was actually listening to it the other day, and it's all killer no filler from start to finish. Wish I'd gotten to see them live.
what a great band this was, what a tragic death of the shouter
As a DJ, years and years ago, I sang lead to this tune, with a cover-band in the bar I was working in, lol, good times!
Just Enjoy The Music , It Rocks!!!!!
put me in your corner ..yet all over the net the cd's are classed as classics ...I know I'm a fan but the sound is still fresh today ..I listen to stuff from the same era and cringe ..yet the tracks off the first cd still do the business
These guys are just Bad Ass! And very sorry Frank and the Band are mostly all gone! They were destined to be ROCK STARS!!!
Ken "dimwit" Montgomery, pure spirit of rock. R.I.P. Look for him on youtube with D.O.A., Subhumans, Pointed Sticks. Rock on pal.
It's crazy to see footage of Dimwit as a short haired punk rocker with DOA (my all-time favorite band),and then with longhair playing bluesy rock. I love this man. I only wish i could've met him. Dimwit R.I.P
Love this
Fuckin' A....Frankie took a long time to die when he was in his Coma...He was still alive when the 2nd album came out....I think he knew....long live The Four 'Fuckin' Horsemen
All the best Dave ..music like this will always prevail
Sorry to hear about the band's loss, I've always loved their style. Mucho Love!! Keep on Rocking on!
Dave Lizmi one of my favorite guitar players, love his style......
Someone just sent me the "Nobody Said It Was Easy" video(thanks QLM) and the memories came flooding back!! Smokin' good rock & roll!!!
I never saw them video .. only had the Cassete Album Back at 90’s (along with Badlands, Georgia Satelite and Blackcrowes) .. Thanks for uploading this 🙏

Perfection!!
thought of this song when i woke up, it is a great hard rock tune that was overlooked, tobad its for those that truly enjoy good rock, more for us,,,
R.I.P † Mr. Montgomery Mr. Starr
Nobody said it was easy
I had forgot Haggis founded The Four Horsemen after playing bass with The Cult during the Electric era and Zodiac Mindwarp before that,but I could'nt forget how good they sound.
I was in LA on Hollywood Blvd when this video was being filmed, brings me back when Rockin' was ma business and business was good
This band has a Black Crowes vibe to them. I like it, I'm not complaining.
Great post!! Have had this cd since 95. had never heard of them, they f'n ROCK!

Four horsemen = awesome tunes 👍
"and if it's so good why am I still broke?"

Frank C Starr, Dave Lizmi , Pharoah, Randy Cooke ( Drums)
RIP Frank Starr - Rock In Perpetuity..........
they were great.
If you tried you could not arcitect a more perfect kick ass down and dirty in your face rock-n-roll tune. Hats off to the Four Horseman!!!
Yup ,these guys were the real deal.
Also ,there ain't no one out there that I know of who could get a guitar tone ,and the feel of Mr. Dave Lizmi ,he fuckin' cranked out on that Les Paul.
revisiting 91 has been awesome, these guys we're bringing it as good as any, wow Frank's voice!His screams are phenomenonal, I forgot how great these guys were,I was really into Jackyl back then but these guys are better!
there is no one. They are one of a kind
I miss these guys.
I got this album on vinyl off the fan club website about 2 years. Only 2000 pressed. Re-mastered for vinyl. It was almost 5 months late and cost me $105 CAD. But that was a walk in the park compared to the 25 years I had already invested in the dream that one day I could drop the needle and listen to the rich raw dynamic tones rip through my Harmon Kardon receiver and pound out my klipsch speakers. The Four Horseman on the ONLY medium that can correctly represent their album the way it was intended to be heard. Not some hissing tape or digitally encoded bits that use an algorithm to predict the next 1 or 0 or combination thereof. That ain't fucking music on those lil silver compressed pieces of shit. That is like saying folgers is coffee or cubic zarconia is diamond or Alice In Chains is still making music. Its all a lie. Cranking Rocking is My Business and adjusting the sub. Now if that's so good why am I still fucking broke? ;p
Dirty ass blues rock at its best right here man! This shit fuckin'rocks!...and if it's so good why am I still fuckin' broke?!?
These days I'm a huge fan of Rose Hill Drive ....if I could get them to cover one song ...this is it ...sheer rock music heaven
Chuck Biscuits (Danzig) and Dimwit are brothers but they are American from Long Beach, California they moved to Vancouver B.C., Canada when they were kids.
Yet another masterpiece produced by Rick Rubin. If only my favorite band of all time would PLEASE do one more album with him at the helm, they could make a sweet comeback.....I'm talking to you Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy of The Cult......you still rock and look great, but Rubin will get you back on the radar.
Rock n Roll baby!!!
great tune
ROCKIN IS MY BUSINESS MY RELIGION MY DRUG MY EVERYTHING...THANK GOD OR WHOEVER UP THERE FOR KICKIN ASS ROCK N ROLL
Please, give me one band these days that can rock like this...
Great band!!
This band had such Rock N Roll Heart!
Bought the CD after seeing this vid, FECKING CLASS.
That DRUMMER was the best Phill Rhudd eat your heart out.
Great song. Good to hear the original. The version performed by Alabama Thunderpussy is cool as well, but this is really nice.
Man, I totally used to listen to this!
RIP FRANK STARR
these guys really get me rocking where have they been all these years ? keep it up boys, also come to hawaii for a concert I will be there Ok.
walter dehmer Sorry to break it to you, but they haven't been together since 1996. The singer, Frank Starr, died in 1999 after being in a coma for about 3 1/2 years from a motorcycle accident courtesy of a drunk driver. R.I.P. Frankie.
