ACCEPT - Balls To The Wall (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)

[@zoelogjz]

My friend Rob Hackathorn was in his early twenties, and I was almost 40 when we met back in the year of 1984. He turned me on to this song "Ball's to the Wall's". Forty years later still one of my favorites, with lot's of competition from The Who, Petty, Dire Straits, Zepp, Def Leppard, yet ranks up high on the list. Always think of my friend from long ago.

Anyone know how he got the exact tone by chance? To me sounds like a cranked Marshall with an overdrive maybe?

I've loved ACCEPT since the 80s. Saw them live twice bought every album ever made and I love Wolf and Udos current independent work. Wold and Udo are both HUGELY underrated musicians. Many of they're historic and current recent songs are on my current work out mixes and party mixes. Borderline genius musicians if not full genius talent.

[@jagannathaniyengar4369]

The fact that none of the modern Pop, Electronic Music can be orchestrated comes to show how great metal music is. Especially the old classics like these. We will, give em the axe!!

[@hobbyjay6803]

pete tong did Ibiza classic anthems concert with symphony orcherstra as a back up, take my word, sounded awesome... obviously different cup of tea to this... however metal with orchestra sounds even more magical

[@kentimm4105]

This is probably one of the best versions of this song. The lead chords at 4:52 5:08 and 5:24 are extremely powerful.

[@Terk131]

I agree.

[@abi95assasin]

No one had this tone even till this date.. top quality even during the 80s … if they recorded now they’ll be bringing the roof down..This band should be called under accepted… they are underestimated underrated underground misunderstood under appreciated under other looser bands …
