Can you imagine if Jeff would have actually accepted Daves offers to join Megadeth? I mean, i fucking love Marty..... But holy shit Jeff is in a different league.
Probably would sound the same. Correct me if I'm wrong but dave wrote most of the stuff. Im sure Marty had some say and ideas, but I think no matter the lead it would still sound the same. I'm not 100% sure though.
+Troy yeah I'm sure megadeth would have kept that same awesome sound they had with Poland if he was still in the band. Still waiting for a sequel to peace sells!
I wish Coburn had stayed on as Annihilator's vocalist. He was, in my opinion, the best vocalist they had. He had a massive vocal range, and if you want proof of that, listen to Imperiled Eyes. It sucks that he only did the one album with them.
I think that's the reason Annihilator didn't became bigger,the constant line-up changes,people just got used to a vocalist and on the next album/tour he was already gone.
***** Yeah,fans don't like it when a bandmember leaves,specially the leadsinger,just take a look how people bitched about Sammy Hagar in VH for years and when Eddie replaced him with Gary Cherone in the late 90's,they were bitching about that too.And now take a look at Annihilator,on every new album, a new singer,hell an entire new band,it doesn't help selling records/tickets despite the music beeing great.
That's true, it hurt Yngwie as well. If he could have kept one singer for a long time, he would have been WAY bigger because his music is totally commercial. Coburn Pharr did one Omen record that I hated, and it had nothing to do with him - Paul O'Neil (Savatage producer) came in and in the early days of digital recording, they made everything sound wimpy as hell.... and all of the bite and drive that Omen had on the previous release, Paul O'Neil eliminated with one record. Coburn is one of my favorite singers - go listen to the demo's he did of "Bats in The Belfry" - he owned that shit. Not to take anything away from Aaron, he was a bad-ass in his own right - and while he had an awesome range, he didn't have the bight and power that Coburn Pharr had. I just wish somebody with some actual money had backed Annihilator with enough cash so that they could have all made a living doing it, but the reality is - that has happened to tons of bands we think of as being "big". Fates Warning? Their singer, Ray Alder, was working in a record store.
What I find cool about this video, is that it probably wasn't hard to make doesn't look like high tech footage, yet it's super awesome and just works cause the guys were so energized
The best period of the band, for me for sure. Super, a perfect combination of rhythms, absolutely revolutionary at the time. I recommend harder music to all fans. The band still plays great to this day.
Jeff Waters has always been one of the top 80's metal guitarists and songwriters, his bandmates just never seemed to meet the same standard in my opinion.
Timeless... LYRICS Chorus: Stonewall - go to bat Unless you want to live like that Stonewall - can't we see We're our own worst enemy A land said to have all, wealth in land, in man Qualities soon to exhaust as man's greed poisons the land Streams, once fresh, were centers of life for so many a creature Beauty without a defense, polluted, never to replenish Repeat Chorus Collage, blue and green, seen as golden industrial sites Smudge as toxic pollutants destroy her remaining rights The power of corporations, spewing chemicals into the air Fines are imposed to discourage, but what's a dime to a millionaire Repeat Chorus Bridge: It's time to listen, and see the signs It's time to listen and hear her cries The one that gave us life is being burned to the raw Reaping unprotected riches, human nature's self destructing flaw The power of corporations spewing chemicals into the air Fines are imposed to discourage, but what's a dime to a millionaire
I get all kinds of emotions when I listen to this band. They have mellow moments, then they rip right out with their intense rock. There is so much going on in this song that it is simply captivating. Never a dull moment!
Since we are at Roadrunner Records here, i want to mention the Mercyful Fate influenced Riff that kicks in at 2:38 , and gives me chills every time i listen to this epic song by the Canadian thrash titans Annihilator.
@@guitarriff333 Never really thought of Megadeth as a thrash band. It's really just the first couple records and a few songs here and there that are actual thrash. Mostly just heavy metal imo. But great nonetheless.
I didn't discover this band until like 2020. I'm an old guitar player/headbanger from like the 80s. How did this happen!?!?. Well at least I found them and I'm buying their albums & sharing my findings with others every chance I get! Thanks Jeff & company
Coburn will always be the Annihilator singer IMHO, I own the "Never neverland" LP and when he left I wasn't interested anymore. Although the live footage I've seen with Padden is impressive.
My favourite Annihilator lineup is The Alice In Hell lineup from 1989 with Randy Rampage Jeff Waters Anthony Greenham/Dave Scott Davis Wayne Darley Ray Hartmann
Esta es mi cancion favorita de Annihilator, con mi guitarrista favorito el genio "Jeff Waters", mi vocalista favorito el gran "Coburn Pharr" y sobre todo mi banda favorita "ANNIHILATOR"!!! lml
Great song from the best Annihilator album ever. 'The Fun Palace' is my favorite song all though the album contains a bundle of Annihilator classics that makes it hard to choose
My favourite Annihilator lineup is The Alice In Hell lineup from 1989 with Randy Rampage Jeff Waters Anthony Greenham/Dave Scott Davis Wayne Darley Ray Hartmann
Jeff Waters is so good at what he does...he is predictable, but gr8 with his melody & solos, and "pinches"...fabulous Metal Head from North of the border...🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘
I remember watching this video on MTV Headbangers ball and I was 18 going on 19 and I'm 53 and I still listen to them and I still have all of their CD's
What can i say for this one Great guitarist 🎸 Jeff Waters. Obviously after so many years Jeff is God Blessed. Also Obviously Annihilator is one of the most underrated metal bands ever. So many melodic and rhythm song's. THANQ Jeff.🎸🎼🎸👩🚀👍

They had good singers too for me Aaron Randall was good but definitely not their best but I still thought he was good Dave Padden was great Joe Comeau was great I like Joe more than Aaron Jeff Waters is great Randy Rampage was awesome and Coburn Pharr was awesome too My top 3 singers in the band would be Dave Padden Coburn Pharr And Randy Rampage another great one for me that’s not in my List is Jeff Waters and Joe Comeau too
@@dravenquinn264 my favorites were Randy and Dave. I like Jeff, but as a guitar player, he's amazing, but his voice not so much. I would have preferred that Dave continued on vocals. I saw them playing live with Dave, killer show
For me both Randy Rampage and Coburn Pharr are tied as the best singer of Annihilator and Joe Comeau would be the best out of the recent singers in the band
Właśnie 'Neverland' wraca u mnie do odsłuchu w samochodzie. Kawałek przeżyje drugą młodość odkąd Jeff przyznał co było inspiracją do napisania 'Psycho Ward'. Pozdrawiam
my first annihilator song. Got my hooked and now never neverland is my favorite thrash album of all time. Not a single song on that album that i would skip
Guys the Big 4 is based purely on record sales, it's not a measure of who are the best thrash groups, it's a measure of who are the most popular. Chill.
My favourite Annihilator lineup is The Alice In Hell lineup from 1989 with Randy Rampage Jeff Waters Anthony Greenham/Dave Scott Davis Wayne Darley Ray Hartmann
Too many people just think about how hard it is to play it or how much technique the guitarist have. Kirk may not be the technical guitarist but his style and creativity are insanely awesome and good.

jeff Waters is the single most underrated guitarist of all time!!!
Him and Chuck Schuldiner are the greatest yet underrated metal songwriters. Someone who's also very underrated is Glenn Tipton.
Don't forget Glen Drover
people dont recognize Canadian talent
Um, Glenn Drover, Yo?
American metal? The close to the Canadian border they live the better their music is... or it is just me and my European taste :P
One of best thrash metal albums ever. Waters isnt even hardly mentioned in same breath as Hammett Mustaine etc.... Absolutely epic flawless shredding
he is when i bring up the best and people ask me whos that
Jeff isn’t mentioned much amongst us mere mortals but in the metal world he is highly respected. Mustaine asked him to join Megadeth TWICE!!!
top of the top!
Love the melodic riffs in between hard ones. Great balance, great band.
Michael McLaggan sounds like 99 ways to die a little by Megadeth think Dave stole the idea a little
One of the greatest Metal figures ever. Talent, technique, soul, perseverance. God bless you, Jeff.
I like this style. Its like thrash metal mixed with AOR melodic rock. Perfect combo!
Great comparison. Never thought about it like that but you're totally right
That's the magick of Annihilator. Jeff is a huge Van Halen fan.
not exactly aor , but much more purely melodic american hard' n heavy metal , not that really radio friendly because still very heavy !!!
@@whytegroovin It’s more technical than raw Thrash Metal but not AOR, definitely agree with you.
Похоже на Hard And Trash
The best line up of Annihilator and one of the best album.
Absolute Masterpiece!
Queen would be proud of this song.
Totally!
Sry man but how cn dis b a masterpiece
@@pzdipuing melodic changes lyrics voice guitar playing and different tones time it came out just bc a blind critic set it a low rating when it came out doesn’t mean anything this is a bedrock
@@Eaglejorge okay🙏🙏
This is what I like about thrash metal, it's pure energy. Specially these guys.
I love how they completely gloss over the fact that Jeff broke a string at 1:42
Can you imagine if Jeff would have actually accepted Daves offers to join Megadeth? I mean, i fucking love Marty..... But holy shit Jeff is in a different league.
I agree in a league of his own.
Probably would sound the same. Correct me if I'm wrong but dave wrote most of the stuff. Im sure Marty had some say and ideas, but I think no matter the lead it would still sound the same. I'm not 100% sure though.
What about Chris Poland?
+Troy yeah I'm sure megadeth would have kept that same awesome sound they had with Poland if he was still in the band. Still waiting for a sequel to peace sells!
I want a superband, with Jeff Waters, Dave Mustaine, Frank Bello, Dave Lombardo, and Joey Belladonna
One of the greatest guitar riffs ever this band is legendary
That is all Waters on bass and all guitars in studio.
I wish Coburn had stayed on as Annihilator's vocalist. He was, in my opinion, the best vocalist they had. He had a massive vocal range, and if you want proof of that, listen to Imperiled Eyes. It sucks that he only did the one album with them.
Yeah that's true.His voice fits so well w/ Annihilator's riffs.
I think that's the reason Annihilator didn't became bigger,the constant line-up changes,people just got used to a vocalist and on the next album/tour he was already gone.

Agreed man, Imperiled Eyes is some kinda beast mode for him
that arpeggio from second 29 is LEGENDARY
This was one of the music videos i looked forward to seeing on Headbanger's Ball every week.
this sound is amazing. I love Annihilator music because they have a unique style.
One of the BEST thrash bands....EVER!
What I find cool about this video, is that it probably wasn't hard to make
doesn't look like high tech footage, yet it's super awesome and just works cause the guys were so energized

Musically, Annihilator had my respect. Ideologically now too.
one of the most underrated bands in the history of mankind!!!
Jeff Waters has always been one of the top 80's metal guitarists and songwriters, his bandmates just never seemed to meet the same standard in my opinion.
I think Coburn's voice is one of my favs in metal
that guitar solo is amazing.!!
Something about the first two albums, they just make me happy after all these years! Jeff waters is still thrash metals best kept secret
Timeless...
LYRICS
Chorus:
Stonewall - go to bat
Unless you want to live like that
Stonewall - can't we see
We're our own worst enemy
A land said to have all, wealth in land, in man
Qualities soon to exhaust as man's greed poisons the land
Streams, once fresh, were centers of life for so many a creature
Beauty without a defense, polluted, never to replenish
Repeat Chorus
Collage, blue and green, seen as golden industrial sites
Smudge as toxic pollutants destroy her remaining rights
The power of corporations, spewing chemicals into the air
Fines are imposed to discourage, but what's a dime to a millionaire
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
It's time to listen, and see the signs
It's time to listen and hear her cries
The one that gave us life is being burned to the raw
Reaping unprotected riches, human nature's self destructing flaw
The power of corporations spewing chemicals into the air
Fines are imposed to discourage, but what's a dime to a millionaire

Nice - shameless plug. Hahahaha.. Annihilator among most under appreciated powerhouse bands of the whole metal world
damn you! it gives me chills now lol
Annihilator has always been my first choice of Thrash- Together with Testament of course.
fucking agree, best two thrash bands along with megadeth
Those two bands are the absolute kings of old-school Thrash metal indeed \m/
Teutonic thrash
Hell yes. My band played with testament. They alway progress.each album differnt type.of metal while stoll being awesome
@@guitarriff333 Never really thought of Megadeth as a thrash band. It's really just the first couple records and a few songs here and there that are actual thrash. Mostly just heavy metal imo. But great nonetheless.
the riffs, man
I didn't discover this band until like 2020. I'm an old guitar player/headbanger from like the 80s. How did this happen!?!?. Well at least I found them and I'm buying their albums & sharing my findings with others every chance I get! Thanks Jeff & company
As a musician I always come back to this song for its brilliance . Absolute masterpiece
singing in the shower doesn't make you a musician, Patrick.
Commenting over supposedly musicians with a goku profile pic doesn't make you a real goku, Grosu Cosmin Ionut
@@grosucosminionut8073 kinda does. A musician performs other people's music. An artist creates new music
Coburn will always be the Annihilator singer IMHO, I own the "Never neverland" LP and when he left I wasn't interested anymore. Although the live footage I've seen with Padden is impressive.
This was one of the first Annihilator songs that I had the pleasure to listen. So amazing. I was immediately hooked.
they are even still more metal , even played on the beach
Listened since release. Still kicks ass.

Jeff's clean passages in this make me feel like giving up on guitar playing. Just never hear such fluid playing when it comes to clean runs

Never has respecting the environment sounded so metal
What can i say for this one Great guitarist 🎸 Jeff Waters.
Obviously after so many years Jeff is God Blessed.
Also Obviously Annihilator is one of the most underrated metal bands ever.
So many melodic and rhythm song's.
THANQ Jeff.🎸🎼🎸👩🚀👍
Yes, this is from 'Never, Neverland', from 1990, the next album after 'Alison Hell (1989).
This deserves way more views - absolute masterpiece! Thank you Jeff & Crew x
Brutal!!!, me encanta!!
Best Annihilator voc
But glasses still stupid :)
Just getting back into these guys really digging Jeff's vocals.
Coburn is a damn great singer!
One of the most underrated guitar players. My Idol!!!
Amazing ending, very good riffs too
timeless and evergreen in thrash.. This IS the album of Annihilator!
Canada Gave us Many Great Things. Annihilator, Voivod, Exciter,

Very, very good classic !!!

Hahah! Nothing like a metal show in the beautiful Canadian mountains :P
omg the guitar solo is so amazing
great song from a great band

I love this band this was their best singer... they go through singers a lot
very sad ANNIHILATOR separated with this vocalist
Jeff*
I disagree this guy sucks
Their best singer and album by far
after 8 years of being a metalhead, I just listened to this band today, I was amazed.
SIMPLY
AMAAAAAAAAAZING
Fantastic.
Listen to this song and while watching dont care of obituary
Oh, shit! Brings tears to my eyes! Those were the best days of Annihilator!
who listening in 2019 ????
and i will still be listening in 2020

I never stopped listening to this song !!!
I am, because new thrash metal from the classic bands all seem to have a super plastic production that makes it hard to listen to
I am 2020 no se ingles
my first annihilator song. Got my hooked and now never neverland is my favorite thrash album of all time. Not a single song on that album that i would skip
loved this band back then one of my favorite albums by them and songs!
Back when Tom Cruise was a thrash metal singer
Pharaun 2009 ...good call. 👍👍
Risky Business.....and Business is Good!
No dude thats Rob Lowe
Nicolas Cage
I thought the same.. finally someone commented xD
Guys the Big 4 is based purely on record sales, it's not a measure of who are the best thrash groups, it's a measure of who are the most popular. Chill.
this band sure did go through a lot of different singers

Guitar breakdown is badass!

to this day some 25+years later this song just exudes truth into your brain...
well Steve Harris seems to be multi-talented.
Favourite record
I keep seeing Tom Cruise in the thumbnail.
I'm so glad I was not the only one!

Pretty sure thats rob lowe
I keep seeing a friend of mine that looks like the singer a lot
