King Kobra "Hunger"

[@joebacik9754]

Kick axe wrote this song and the band is together today one of the best metal bands of all time

[@bcman60]

I had completely forgotten about this album, thanks for posting

[@MetalGhost69]

Hunger rocks! There are a bunch of killer tunes on the c.d.. The songs " Attention" and "Shadow Rider" rock as well!

[@Gustavofeanor]

she´s without doubt one of the greatest voices in rock.

[@ShinGetterPoPo]

And Spectre General is actually called Kick Axe.

[@Nickepickeparonpung]

I remember I use to love this album.Thank you.

[@MrSixxarts]

いつ聴いてもこの曲だけはカッコいい。

[@kelligula]

One of the guitarists went on to form Bulletboys...this and at least one other of the songs on RTS was written by Kick Axe

[@TalkAlot84]

Damn it i have an old videotape from the 80's (only this type of music) and i saw this video, i've searched it for 10 years, and man, it was all worth the wait... :D

[@xmradio41]

One of my favorite kickass songs ever! This song is perfection- really gets the adrenalin pumping...

[@JohnnyangelNIU]

This was a great song and album

[@tonifreakshow]

Those guitars are so cool especially the Dean.

[@SimpsonMusicProductions]

Haven't seen this video since it first aired on MTV. Yeah ! Luv KZbin !

[@gallaxy70]

Thanks for post. I Loved this album. Saw them live. 85. Opened for Night Ranger.... Lead singer went sour...... Way too bad....

[@Doobie1975]

I've seen the video to this song on VH1 Classic's "Metal Mania" back in around 2003-ish and it was a great song, this song should have been better known.

[@岩間祥文]

俺もちょうど伊藤政則のこの番組見ててキングコブラ好きになったんだよな😍

[@Nuudles12]

I really like this video , because my friend is playing the drums and they sound great. thank you for the post.i really mean it.

[@TinManSixtySix]

Mark/Marcie Free one of the best singers in hard rock and metal!!!

[@UdoShan]

I had a Metal compilation with White Sister, ICON (or was it "IKON) and these guys on it! In fact, this track was on the compilation! Got it for a Buck! (ah, the days of the "Cut-Out Bin"!)

[@Nuudles12]

Yes I know that is Carmine on the drums and he can really play them can,t he .He is our legendary drummer and along with Dino Danelli of the Young Rascals and many other bands .

[@bukowskispen]

Thats funny, I got the same comp cassette for about a buck or 2 (w/a couple other '$1 a tape" hair metal comps) from a small town gas station on a family vacation to WV about 20 yrs ago..listened to it about 1000 times over the yrs cuz of this song ,it finally wore out and I dont know what happened to it. Just saw the video for this song (best one on the comp) about 3 yrs ago on VH1..TG for youtube now!

[@chrishopkins77]

Thanks for that - I always thought it was the other way around...Though I do prefer the vocals on the Kick Axe version.

[@kelligula]

Was this song actually written by Kick Axe? Bassist went on to play in WASP & 1 guitarist went on to play in Bulletboys...

[@steelerfreak1977]

@Caleb2296 How can anybody think that? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because Kick Axe actually wrote it and George Criston is an amazing singer. Somebody needs to do their homework. Vices is one of the great metal records of the '80s.

[@chrishopkins77]

This was originally recorded by Spectre General and appeared on the animated Transformers movie soundtrack (it's the track that plays when Hotrod and Kup are fed to the Sharkticons on Quintessa).

[@unicron129]

@dominp It wasn't because of legal problems. Hasbro deemed the band's name of Kick Axe to be too violent for the kid's cartoon, so they changed their name to Spectre General

[@danachappell9783]

@lacika67 Well, you'll probably be happy to know then that free returned to music about 4 years ago, but on a smaller scale, reuniting with Unruly Child & doing background vocals on Harry Hess' solo album. Leaving music was Free's decision, btw, as he/she was going through some personal crisis at the time, including with gender, plus a failed marriage and feuding with Unruly Child guitarist Bruce Gowdy and I think addiction was another thing Free mentioned in an interview in 2010-2011.

[@minbari73]

Dana Chappell Loved this band back in the day. Out of all the hair metal groups, Mark's vocals blew me away the most. Such power!

[@80srocknroller]

That was Abdullah The Butcher's theme song in Capitol Sports Promotions/World Wrestling Council Puerto Rico!!!

[@jimbotrains]

Spectre General is a name that was used for this song in the movie Transformers because of US copyright. King Kobra is the real band.

[@kelligula]

Was this song actually written by Kick Axe?

[@tvcrime9476]

気がつきませんでした。ありがとうざいます。

[@MrBaris666]

GREAT SONG !!!

[@nickwellings9433]

STILL AWESOME.

[@jacobparasite]

Isn't this a cover of kick axe? just saying :P

[@RjRocker80]

HELL YEAH! ROCK ON!

[@ericou812]

awsome windmilling by guitarist.

[@Peck_Bull]

Adoro a Mark Free. Es curioso, pero esta no es la versión del álbum. La pista de la voz es ligeramente diferente.

[@mercadodaubeterre]

the good metal of the 80´s

[@lubbocktx35]

@rockladyful totally agree baddass song, It's been awhile since I've checked out some King Kobra, didn't know that Mark Free became a woman Crazy! still kicks ass

[@jimsimoes1401]

They used the same producer Spencer Proffer on some of their tunes so yeah you will hear similiar beats,rhythms,etc...

[@ROCKDRIGOSORTINO]

IS ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@german218]

Great!

[@Freddie1980]

@ThatWasPrettyFunny - True, in fact I help I can't help but think Ben Stillers team 'Purple Cobras' was parody of King Kobra all the way form King Kobra purple highlights in their hair to the ridiculous hair.

[@bconyi]

king kobra rocks!!!

[@VentureJI]

Aactually this is the original version of this song, The one from Transformers the movie is a cover by Spectre General.

[@Nuudles12]

arn,t they handsome. And the drummer is the man for any women ,s dream. thank you for the treat.

[@repugnus]

God this song is great. Are the other songs on this album as strong?

[@SNAKE4643]

king kobra should be huge-fucking awesome band

[@johnhomes2]

Yeahh Hunger

[@SpankRamen2]

I thought this was the original! I like this version better than the one from the Transformers SDTRK. I mean, I love that one, too. I just love this a whole lot more.

[@mario6sic6]

i wikipedia'd it spectre general is a diff band who covered this, but spectre general are really called kick axe

[@Skunner7]

HUNGAH BY KING KOWBWAAA!

[@中島啓輔-k6q]

amesing! I love it!

[@mura8bu-tu9iw4wm9q]

ミュートマウェンズデーぢゃん

[@retoronto]

This band went on to become Bullet Boys with a different singer and drummer. The singer did in fact go on to have a sex change. The drummer.... the famous Carmine Appice.... went on to form Blue Murder with John Sykes (Whitesnake)and Tony Franklin. (Power Station)

[@Nuudles12]

No he is not in my band, I don't have a band. What I meant was he is a legendary drummer. Sorry for the confusion.

[@slycoopers]

I agree.

[@jordoundaunted]

@favreinpurple Your right and I agree. I still listen to that record.

[@jordoundaunted]

@NYBloodyArrow7400 Carmine is the bomb man! Even though I'm a guitarist, I have respect for real drums.

[@lobokk]

drum man Carmine Appice play in ozzy video, Bark at the moon, and the bass man play with Wasp

[@Spaceghost147]

yes

[@mercadodaubeterre]

i like this video

[@clancy76]

This song was written while the lead singer was standing outside of an Arby's.

[@CRAZYCRADER]

Kick AXE does a better version of this song but this still is awesome stuff!!!

[@davoid2006]

The hair is ABSOLUTE PEFECTION in this video!! gives the "Flock" a run for their money!! LMAO!! but wow!! - DTM

[@TigressRare]

@1.18 OMG sexy!!! Im obsessed with this song. I love Mark Free here and Johnny Rod.

[@drksdofthmoon]

McDonalds should use this song in their commercials!!

[@wink89815]

@mofotax Actually I have this recorded under Kick Axe. No matter. It rocked!

[@nickwellings9433]

Haha! Just discovered this! wicked!

[@downincognito72]

this is pretty alright , never got into king kobra back in the day, apparently the lead singer is a girl these days

[@kraner16]

just got a glam-semi (fosho)

[@skywarp1]

Me Grimlock no bozo! Me king!

[@Mary667]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@GreenChillZone]

@unicron129 Apparently saying "Oh shit!" is fine but the name that was only written in the credits wasn't okay. I will never understand Hasbro. :?

[@DiegoOfGondor]

kick axe version is muuch better

[@Scandolo]

Great voice!! but I still dont understand what carmine appice' s doing here....

[@U2Bprez]

lol Mark Free is now Marcie Free...

[@fatarry]

isnt this from transformers? same band kick axe under a different name or a cover

[@jimbotrains]

ya ur right, i was told by someone else

[@BurnRoddy]

Veng Forng Torres!!

[@mario6sic6]

this not a spectre general song? who done the original??

[@dr.kittenmash2832]

10 guys are not Hungry

[@hellraser70]

@sonoftree3 It's a cover of what?

[@michael17415]

@pipopower12 i dont really like thrash, but id rather you like that then ANY music out today! :] \m/

[@leonelramirez7794]

De puta madre que rolota

[@MegaWolfsBlood]

@clancy76 Really? how did you know that?

[@lawless500]

@Skunner7 That is funnier than hell isnt it?

[@SNAKE4643]

cant believe this singer is now a 'woman'!!! hahaha

[@jonoisgood]

transformers movie represent (even though it was covered by kick axe...who are canadian)

[@steelerfreak1977]

@Caleb2296 Well, we'll just agree to disagree. Vices to me is a classic while Ready to Strike is only ok. I will say this though, Ready to Strike shits all over King Kobra's follow-up, which is horrible. At least Ready to Strike was somewhat heavy.

[@knowlife]

is that mr satan on the drums?

[@pipopower12]

I LOVE GLAM METAL!!! and before somebody calls me poser (I don't give a shit but) I also love thrash metal!

[@mario6sic6]

is this not the original?:S

[@stalledrangen]

Pink haircolor???? But a good song however.

[@petertatgren1983]

hahahaha is true

[@TalkAlot84]

anyone got the lyrics?

[@cazroq]

singer had a sex change

[@deafforever3534]

Holy fuck is this song is over dramatic & 80s.

[@EdgiePower]

Too similar to the original to really warrant a cover. Still bloody good though, but the original is better.

[@wrabit79]

@nukklsxx hey 90's music and grunge and today's crap is a sad time for america and the world...gays always been there...so you don't get offended
