[@PatMooresr]

Never gets old , I probably listen to this once a week. Just because they are the real deal. I Support Metal Church..100%

[@laszlofodor7799]

No band can be metaller than Metal Church! Criminally underrated!

Yessir

[@thomasgray7128]

I couldn't agree more!! Fuckin awesome band!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@weaselpopper]

Great performance showing the late Kirk Arrington on drums. RIP Kirk you were one of the best.

[@EvgElis]

The Best

[@r.d.hargrave8159]

Growing up with a father who was raised on big band swing music and gave me my first drum lessons, Kirk was always one of my favorite & influential drummers in how he could drive such fast and heavy songs with steady straight tempo on the hi-hat (or ride) while swinging the bass, snare, and accents just tastefully ever so slightly off that driving tempo beat!

[@JudasSlays2426]

​@@r.d.hargrave8159Dude, he was a Master of the Skins!! Just listen to the Drum Tracks on Beyond The Black.. 'Nuff said!

[@Joetrout]

I was just telling my sons about him! Dude had that beat, technic, everything! His playing on the first album “metal church” is insane, the start of “my favorite” nightmare is on fire!

[@waltercolombe6105]

I love European concerts . They really are the ones who kept many of these bands alive by their rabid loyalty and appreciation.

[@gregorzrusek6350]

European FANS are the best.

[@fretman09]

I wonder why the US cannot support like European people can?

[@kellykasparek8150]

you can see the faces. bewildered they realize that the first Metal Church album and THAT band started it all and they dont know how to react. and the kid upfront knows.....he knows...R.I.P David Wayne, Mike Howe, we love and miss the Church.. !!!!

[@christinecsanko5726]

I think metal church were the most underrated band of its time.hail metal church.lou csanko

Them and flotsam and jetsam too.

[@dec81964]

AMEN my friend!

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

The true fourth member of the Big Four, they earn it on album pedigree as first one was released in 1984 and unlike Joey of Anthrax, all Church singers could sing

[@Showroom6]

Their debut album imo is one of the best metal albums ever made

[@213amp]

Definitely one of the most underrated bands of that era and definitely over shadowed by Metallica who were on the same label at the time

[@metalheadrailfan]

The kid in the Iced Earth shirt is what every metalhead should aspire to be.

who came to rewatch that young metalhead

[@Georgia_Backyard_Gardening]

I personally knew David. I even rented practice space to Reverend. After I split up with my ex, David and I dated for a short time. His memorial website has photos I took of him. I saw MC in Seattle with Ronnie singing...it made me cry. Ronnie does a great job.

[@freddyferrillo9704]

Suzanne Marie , A 5 year old comment like that and nobody says nothing. Well I will. Your story makes me cry. Metal Church is my favorite band ever. I saw them perform in 1985 with David Wayne. In a small bar on Long Island called Sundance. It was the best metal show I ever saw. Then and still today! Hands down. I got to shake David's hand while he sang Gods of Wrath. I'll never forget that night in 85! Btw, I WILL check out those pictures. Definitely! And yeah, Ronnie is awesome. But it's Kurdt's band. Why he ever parted ways with David and the 1st drummer Kurt Arrington is beyond me! But i still respect Kurdt Vanderhoof and Metal Church for keeping the band alive. We all miss David Wayne. I feel your pain. Even tho I didn't know him personally like you did.

[@DaveGardnervideos]

I saw MC in Boston in 85 or 86, I was about 4 feet from David, awesome show, I still have the tshirt and the original album. I just saw MC last Saturday in New Bedford, MA. Lots of great stuff from that band.

[@bardoface]

I saw them with David Wayne who was awesome and Ronnie does him such justice. He’s the only Metal singer who’s performing can make me cry cause it’s just that damn good.

[@christopherrichard1525]

1:58 XD Me ha emocionado ver a ese chaval tan entregado en el minuto 2 cantando la letra. (Aunque creo que entra tarde en el gritito en algún momento, jejeje) Ojalá le haya ido bien en la vida. (Han pasado casi 20 años). Quiero pensar que sí, que el rock and Roll (y sus variantes) sirve para enaltecer en cierto modo el espíritu, mantenerte crítico y con pensamiento propio, etc... Metal Church... pues los descubrí hace poco (a veces llego tarde, tardísimo). Pero es un gusto ver que un grupo legendario como este sigue sacando discos enormes años después y además manteniendo la edición y el sonido de antaño. Y en directo compruebo satisfecho y encantado que son buenísimos y que no pierden nada de chispa. Lo siento por los que no son capaces de disfrutar del Metal y del arte y prefieren seguir consumiendo "música" actual de esa sin alma ni talento ninguno. Dicen que somos lo que comemos.... Pues eso.... también pienso que somos lo que escuchamos. ¡Salud!

[@justme.8880]

[@robertbishop5357]

When the previous vocalist took his life I was shocked. My question and maybe no one can answer this....did he keep everything bottled up? I have to think that if his band mates knew the extent of his struggle they would have rallied around him. Suicide is so tragic and needs to be stopped.

That is Kirk Arrington on the drums? It looks like him. And sounds exactly like him. But i thought Kurt Vanderhoof parted ways with him after Blessing In Disguise?

[@Tracy-Lee-Staton]

@@freddyferrillo9704 Kirk Arrington played on a few more albums after Blessing. He was on The Human Factor, Hanging in the Balance, Masterpeace and The Weight of the World; the latter being his last studio album with Metal Church. I always loved Duke Erickson on bass. He was a beast on those strings. Long live Metal Church. They gave us a lifetime of metal. Not sure if Kurdt will carry on now. Kurdt was ready to call it quits if he couldn’t get Mike back. This may be the end of MC, sadly. Rest easy Mike Howe. Thanks for your talent! Hope him and David Wayne are harmonizing in Heaven.

I dont know what he is like personally but his vocals are amazing. I liked David Wayne's(R.I.P.) vocals better, of course, but Ronny's voice fit for the time.
