How Summer Sun, I'm Getting Out, when You're Young, and Don't Walk Away were not bigger amazes me. This is the best Shooting Star Album easily.

Perfect long haul trip album...it actually sounds like the long lonely miles passing by....

Tears... Shooting Star was ALWAYS Van and Gary. Loved their later stuff too, but never the same.

Grew up in KC (still here lol). This was such an amazing f'ing album. I load up Hang On For Your Life on my Harley to start every road trip....I always seem to be 30 mph over speed limit by the time it's over 🎉

Great album! Used to listen to this everyday.

These guys know I luv it anaginosko

I've seen them 3 times. Never disappointed!

In my travels,I keep this album on my rides...

Most are too young to realize this great experience in music

Playing this for a fellow resident of the assisted living facility I live in. So glad I was able to find the whole album! Thanks, uploader! He’s vibing hard! 🎉

That voice, that violin, that song still gives me chills after nearly 40 years!!! Gary West, Van McClain and the rest of the band were the most underrated band to ever take the stage. So many great songs and memories

Discovered this cassette at a thrift shop today and now I already love it, very underrated band. Reminds me of a lot of melodic rock and hair metal bands of that era. Like a mix of Night Ranger Survivor and Y&T

LOVE THESE GUYS IN THE DAY

❤😊

Discovered Shooting star the same yr I found Riot- so 2 me 81' was a FCUKIN excellent year.

Gosto muito dessa banda eles conseguem fazer tanto um som pop quanto um som mais de hard rock de garagem

💥Gary’s VOICE just sounds like ROCK N ROLL TO ME!

I saw SS on the 3 Wishes tour opening for Todd Rundgren. My favorite band ever.

Fantastic great classic A.O.R TANKS LOVE MUSIC ❤

Harpo’s was THE place to see great bands I saw this concert & their farewell tour Outstanding & underrated band Seeing Steve “The Kid” Konstan as the host of this brings back so many memories

Pomp rock at its best.

I am so glad the Kasten brothers turned me on to this band in the late 80s!!!!

RIP Van... great guitarist

One of my favorite albums!

i think i hear dthem first in around mid 70,s and the song that hooked me was (LAST CHANCE) WHEN THEY DO IT LIVE AND SOME OF THEIR HEAVIER TUNES THEY ALWAYS SHOW THEIR GREAT ABILITIES AND MUSICIANSHIP.AND THEIR MUSIC HA SA CERTAIN MARK OR FRESHNESS THAT TAKES YOU WITH THEM YEAH I KNEW VAN MCCLAINS DAUGHTER A BIT IN KANSAS WHAT A COOL HOUS EWITH STUDIO AND SUNBURST LES PAUL.HMMMM!

many of you wont know me.mostly all of you.i hung around K.C. MO FROM 75 TO 89 AND THIS BAND WA SIT THERE.I DIDNT KNOW VAN BUT WORKE DWITH HIS DAUGHTER IN 85 IN KANSAS .I GOT TO GO THEIR HOUS EAND SEE HIS STUDIO THEN.MAN I THOUGHT ALL O U KNEW THAT!SHE Had that sunburst les paul. now you know

It's my birthday today. ~ The year is 2024; just about four decades since this album was recorded, then released in 1985. I've been playing it quite a bit this summer, as I do every year.. I listen to a lot of music from various genres, but 'Silent Scream' is still my primary go-to from the time that the Spring air starts heating up until the Fall leaves begin turning color. 'Summer Sun' and the other songs on the album have always allowed me to become the young, impressionable young man I was many years ago, driving to the Jersey Shore with my girlfriend (aka "the one who got away"). I'm very familiar with the unfortunate circumstances that cost Gary West and the rest of the band their chance to reach the superstar status they worked so hard for when creating Silent Scream. I've learned many lessons over the course of my life; one of them is the fact that ultimate success in any field requires the perfect combination of ability, hard work, timing, and perhaps most importantly, good luck (or at least, the avoidance of any bad luck). From one Gary (me) to another Gary (Mr. West), I hope you know that there are many listeners of your music who realize "what might have been"... or, to be more accurate, what SHOULD HAVE been.

❤

❤l love the band shooting star one of the best concert love ever been to😊 love love this band

Great band. Glad i find them back in 1980. Still my favorite albums of all(i have 3000 vinylalbums)..

Amazing band so is the Supergroup Asia at beginning of the video was Asia s song Time Again💯💯

I still have the original vinyl for the first 5 albums. Sometimes great bands don’t get commercial success. They were one of the best in the 80’s.

beautiful song, miss this guy’s ¡

I grew up in Michigan listening to W4, WLLZ & WRIF. I thought these guys were HUGE! There are like 5 BIG HITS off of this record played all of the time. "Hollywood" & "Last Chance" got played to death and I am glad. I have three cassettes in a closet. I thought they had over 12 songs I could name as HITS. I always loved the violin. Each player was a virtuoso. They blew away Journey -- better singers, harmonies, songs and players. They should have been the headliners for anyone they opened for in my opinion.

Stranger 💪🏻🤘🎸

KSHE 95 played the hell out of Shooting Star and this record! Grand Slam Super Jam at Busch Stadium, St. Louis, 1980: Journey, Sammy, Priest, April Wine, and Shooting Star...all for $12.50!!

great stuff ... and yes i have the record album ... 😊

So many fantastic powerful and uplifting great rock jams- Standing in the Light never fails to put a pop in my step as I turn the volume dial up. Such a fantastic band!
