Cirith Ungol - 1984.11.09 - Los Angeles, CA

[@lanceshaffner3848]

This should be mandatory for any fan of metal. How many vocalist can match this intensity!

[@amymiller6164]

Lance Shaffner yes!!

[@mottosierra1372]

And stil have it

[@mr.timebombman2230]

@@mottosierra1372 Yep. Still sounds the same today. It's crazy.

[@rodwarren7107]

I been listening to Cirith since i was 18 now im 55, still listening. And dude yes has a very cool voice and can still make it sound good today. But with how much electronics. They most definitely got a sound all their own which is very unique. And that along with wtf wrote the lyrics to these songs and put them to this type of music. Very talented and impressive. Wow !!

[@juancarlosrodriguez796]

This is a alltimes great band

Wow, he was something, looking back. Dang!

[@joesmith9216]

@@Alhazarad Yeah I was big into CU like 14 yrs ago, still dig 'em of course!

[@gwarmaxx]

i still play their records today, after 4 decades… maybe one of the best heavy bands of all times, sadly very underestimated.

[@AAWest]

Can't believe this shit is 4 decades old now. And how did I never hear about this band back in the day?

[@markruddock3112]

I've Been Into This Band Since 1980 They Are Supreme!

[@zoranpavlovic9540]

Cirith Ungol was never my favorite band. I had to grow old to understand they are unique and great. Since I am sick of overproduced albums their brand new album is revelation 🤘🤘Better now than never!

[@LuGerWolf]

ABSOLUTELY, ZORAN !!! IT USUALLY HAPPENS TO ME WITH SOME BANDS I DIDN'T KNOW.

[@samueladams6207]

We called your type poseur back in them days lol

[@zoranpavlovic9540]

@@samueladams6207 No one called me poseur back in 80's. Perhaps you grew up in 90's. I grew up in Yugoslavia and not so many ppl were into Cirith Ungol, only nowadays there's bunch of their followers. I liked CU but wasn't hyper listening to them tbh, disliked bands like Poison and all generic glam metal bands but Shout at the Devil and first 3 of Crüe were one of my favorites - heavy metal, whatever you think so I am not poseur nor elitist.. At least American look on matter is quite different. I really don't know any great American metal band in 2000's but Symphony X or Iced Earth e.g. Bunch of squiking, grunt, boring d tuned shit is pucture of current social situation of US imho, boring and depressive, thus Scandinavian and European scene offer more diversity and not cruel industrial exploitation of depression and despair. Sorry, didn't mean to insult you or anyone else, just my opinion of 2000's (90's were even worse everywhere). ed: I gave a like to your reply, it's honest guess.

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Me too pal. Cirith Ungol was a slow burn for me.

[@archeologianieztejziemi]

I didn't understand their music when I was young. Now after a years I realised how good band it is! One of the best heavy metal ever!

[@JSmithski]

Siła!

[@itkojecockot]

CIRITH UNGOL = Black Sabbath + Rush...... also one of the coolest metal vocalists

[@TheLegendaryGerbil]

I’d say more Manowar meets rush, but they’re fucking awesome for sure

[@quesefoda1992]

manowar? no way​@@TheLegendaryGerbil

[@familyman14]

Seems like nobody got it back then. I was blasting Cirith Ungol, Death and Possessed in The early 80's. Everyone else was blasting quiet riot, Journey, and triumph.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

Such an incredible band. Back in the early 80s none of my people got it. So happy to see them make such an incredible comeback and get the respect they deserve from the young kids. Always in rotation on my turntable. 🔥💀🔥

[@macedonosaurus7679]

remember every time you see the crowd in the front standing still not headbanging or going wild ,, this is the time they are seeing something special and are in awe of what's happening

[@rehlinho]

whatever man,most probably they are not familiar with their music..

[@andyeckhoff3604]

my friends i were there to see pandemonium. and ciruth ungol was the opener....didnt know who they were . but after seeing them had to buy there record.....been a fan of there first record forever.......

[@staalhard666]

Pandemonium started in the LA club circuit by supporting Cirith Ungol in 1981... and in 1984 it was the other way around. That's interesting and also really weird, especially while comparing 'Heavy Metal Soldiers' to 'King Of The Dead'. Somebody at Metal Blade must have really hated Cirith Ungol :D

[@AMCmachine]

@@staalhard666 Pandemonium came out of Alaska originally; I remember reading that. I think it was even mentioned in a Metal Blade magazine ad for their album at the time.

[@josephdonnelly2128]

one of my greatest loves of all bands... they were a big part of my childhood

[@Sj60-zj4bs]

I just stumbled on to this video. A lot of people don’t know that in the late 70s and early 80s , Ventura county had a a lot of good heavy bands . I was in a couple of them and we did gigs on the same bill as these guys. I knew all of them . Went to hang out with Jerry a couple of times at his converted garage bedroom in his parents house( we were all very young then). Robbie was ( and I’m sure still is ) a friendly guy. Played basketball with Tim a few times . I’ve got to hand it to them. They never gave up. I got married and got out of the metal game in the mid 80s . When I heard what happened to Jerry it made me sad.

[@greyghost6446]

Surprisingly great quality sound for such an old video. Thanks for uploading this 🤘

[@fenwick_don]

Perfection...

[@krispowell8647]

Jim Barazza is such an underrated guitarist.. Totally shreds man. \m/

[@NilsNoll-q]

But this is Jerry Fogle, who was an awesome guitarist all the same.

[@NilsNoll-q]

not to say that Jim Barazza isn't awesome

[@TemploSagital]

I thought almost the contrary, this are no shred solos jeje is not really fast or clean, but have charm

[@allielewis3332]

Just came across this and it's so cool! Just watched the 2018 show on Rockpalast. Saw them at a Battle of the Bands near Wagon Wheel in Oxnard around 1983 or so. They frickin shredded the place! Best to all!

[@DrewskiTheBassist]

Vocals, bass, guitar, drums. They all sound great

[@user-vn1di4oq4w]

These are the best guitar solos ive ever heard

[@xhannesx8881]

Real and powerful metal. Cirith has always have there sound!!

LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE ESCUCHE A CIRITH UNGOL SENTÍ ALGO ÚNICAMENTE COMPARABLE A LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE ESCUCHE A MERCIFULL FATE. PURA MAGIA, PURA MALDAD. GENIOS...

[@jamestorres9464]

I feel the same kind of an all over the place metal not like the carbon copy Sabbath worshippers kind of early prog vibe too Tim's voice is so unique😁😛😄

[@daxhays9177]

This is one of those bands that had to grow on me, but once it did... Magick! In 1984 at the time of this concert, I was only 10 years old and had no idea about heavy metal. Still wish I could have been there... ;-)

[@metalmystro7513]

Me too I was 9 and still thought the heaviest band was Twisted Sister then in 90 or 91 I seen Paradise Lost at Record and Tape traders and bought the cassette True Metal 😈

[@xorben1981]

I am owning the first vinyl record. I was supprised that an 80s metal band dares to stay with that pure ans minimal sound. And now i see, that the can provide that exact sound on stage. I have the feeling, 10 years earlier and they where gods.

[@patrickgraham3593]

How is this crowd so calm? There should be CHAOS. To see this epic band in their heyday I would have torn myself apart. I was 11 in 84

[@Alhazarad]

We really didn't quite get it then, kinda ahead of the game.

[@asdasd-rp9hx]

@@Alhazarad no. this is not that type of music to be chaotic to. relax and take it in. appreciate it instead of monkeying around

[@oldmcmetal322]

Didn`t have the chance to see them in their early days. It`s a bloody long way from Europe to the US. But with videos like that I can dream I was there!

[@Lengsel7]

I didn't have a chance to see them back then either, but I've got my ticket to see them tomorrow! They've played Europe recently, and I'm sure they will return, so....

[@oldmcmetal322]

You lucky one. They played Rock Hard Festival in Germany this year. There`s a video posted here at YT

[@chinatype2bassrocker809]

I was in another local band in Ventura cali in the late 70s and 80s. We did a couple of gigs together. They were unique and we were not. Tims voice is still in great shape. I loaned my Rickenbaker to the bass player once and I loved how it made them sound, it reminded me of Rush.
