Is this really Johnny Van Zant with his hair done up like David Coverdale? Man, these southern boys were serious about taking on the Def Leppards, the Whitesnakes, and the Sammy Hagars of the mid-late 80s hard rock world!
This is the generation that took the most prosperous nation in recorded history, and in the space of a 3 or 4 decades, turned it into the most indebted country the world has ever known. They shut the door behind them, and they have the balls to call millennials/zoomers entitled and wonder why "nobody wants to work".

Best Middleweight of his time, I remember hearing this song for the first time after Hagler/Hearns fought, where Hagler got the best of Hearns, in probably one of the best fights in history. This song is definitely an anthem.
.....just one MIGHTY guitar chord and RELENTLESS riff, choral hook, even three-decades plus later - ringing the bell for Ronnie and Donnie's brother's SPECTACULAR arrival to the musical arena.....
I vividly remember this song after I graduated HS near Jax, FL..Def an inspiration for local and nationwide musicians alike...Wonder what Johnny and the boyz could've accomplished in this direction without the reformation of L.S...C'mon Johnny now that your on a farewell tour with Skynrd, why not dust off some Solo stuff and bring it back!!!

In about 1985 I went to a night ranger concert these guys opened. Accidentally went to the wrong door ended up backstage with them they were true gentlemen they could have taken advantage of two teenaged girls. But they were just super nice we just hung out till they had to get in their bus and go. A very good experience. ❤
Amazing! Best song/video ever put out by Van Zant in the early 80`s hard rock era right before Heavy Metal exploded into mainstream! "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler`s presence made this video! This original official video is usually removed as soon as it appears due to BS copyright infringement. So stupid due to the aftermarket sales it would generate by fans after watching it! Music executives can be so blind to the potential profits! DUH!
@@ICHIBAN-cz8ih He turned face again the next year when Bobby Heenan brought in Rick Rude to be in the Heenan Family and used him to phase out Orndorff as the stables pretty boy.
Hagler was a killer. In his prime he as more vicious than Tyson ever thought about being. Never got the respect he deserved, The biggest farce in boxing was against SRL. He beat him to a bloody pulp.
If you like this then check out - Coney Hatch 'First Time For Everything" Same era timeline- very similar song. Even both lead singers look like twins!

Great freakin' song man, agreed-epic! Funny at the end the black dudes can't seem to get with the southern rock beat, theyre like two steps ahead and tryin to slow themselves down (as it doesnt take much to bang your head)...funny stuff.
Is this Sammy Hagar impersonating JVZ ..lmao Good song, had a great rock foundation, strong lyrical content. Hagler was defiantly a fighter...rip champ....
![Orion the Hunter - So You Ran [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
Combining Southern Rock, 80's Rock and Marvelous Marvin Hagler in his prime is about as bad ass as it gets.
Coming down the aisle from Tampa, Florida, weighing 255 pounds..."Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff!!!
RIP Mr. Wonderful 😪
I was just listening to this on the Our Vantage Point podcast.
Who was woefully unworthy of being gifted this as his ring music.
Odd song choice but this was his entrance music in 85
One of the best unsung AOR albums of the 80's. Love Hagler in the video!
What's AOR ?

Their most underrated album. Sounds like Survivor
One of the songwriters was Jimi Jamison
@@toddburd8296 Exactly. Jimi wrote this for Cobra (Pre-Survivor band) but they never recorded their own version, despite performing it live.
I'm A Fighter lyrics by Van Zant
I'm a fighter, when my face shows my game
I'm a fighter, Oh oh a face without a name
I'm a fighter, and I'm just holdin' ground
I'm a fighter, and I'm never goin' down
I was walkin', but I found me a ride
Yes I was born, on the wrong side
I've been pushed, pushed around so long it's hard to see
There's just one thing, it's gonna do to me
Just one more chance yeah, to pay the toll
Just one more chance to rock'n'roll
A will to survive, will stay alive
With you by my side I'm alive, oh yeah I'm alive
I'm a fighter, when my face shows my game
I'm a fighter, Oh oh a face without a name
I'm a fighter, and I'm just holdin' ground
I'm a fighter, and I'm never goin' down
I'm never like a loser, no confidence
I said I'm just a user, of common sense
Oh oh oh Just one more chance yeah, to pay the toll
Just one more chance to rock'n'roll
A will to survive, will stay alive
With you by my side I'm alive, oh yeah I'm alive
Oh oh oh Just one more chance yeah, to pay the toll
Just one more chance to rock'n'roll
A will to survive, will stay alive
With you by my side I'm alive, oh yeah I'm alive
I'm a fighter, when my face shows my game
I'm a fighter, Oh oh a face without a name
I'm a fighter, and I'm just holdin' ground
I'm a fighter, and I'm never goin' down
I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter
I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter
I'm a fighter, and I'm just holdin' ground
I'm a fighter, and I'm never goin' down
I'm a fighter, no! no!
I'm a fighter, I ain't never goin' down
***** Hard to believe this is the same guy that joined LYNYRD SKYNYRD 2 years later.
Thank you.🎤🎸🥁🎶🎶🎶🎶

Long lost classic
cool lyrics from Jimi Jamison and Mandy Meyer
It’s hard to believe that this guy was raised in the same house as Ronnie.
This song was used as the WWE Entrance Theme for the Late "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndoff.
Came here to listen to this in honor of Marvelous Marvin Hagler 1954-2021
Nice album ❤
CLASSIC.
Masterpiece album, thats all.
This was a great song
That's my dad playing the bass guitar
great tune forgot all about this one
AOR & Hard Rock & Heavy Metal

This was the entrance song Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff used after he turned babyface and aligned himself with Hulk Hogan.
Then later on stole Real American from Hulk
@@ICHIBAN-cz8ih Yeah, that was when he turned heel against him and was using real American to mock him. That was hilarious
@@AlbanianMan Orndorff turned face & heel a bunch of times during his timespan in NY
@@ICHIBAN-cz8ih He turned face again the next year when Bobby Heenan brought in Rick Rude to be in the Heenan Family and used him to phase out Orndorff as the stables pretty boy.

Absolutely not. Sugar Ray Leonard never had a mark on him. Close Fight,but Leonard deserved the win. Better watch that one again Mr. Schneider.
