[@LordOfTheLostOfficial]

We just love the energy of this track so much! Thanks to Mr. Idol!

[@OZMus]

This is great! Perfect camp too 🎉

[@Logathore]

I listen sometimes this song, but your version is incredible, I like it so much! Thanks!

[@OZMus]

@@Logathore Do you know what your letter SHO (th) means in your name? There are two different lexical meanings for two different schools of thought symbolically speaking. Sorry...

[@Logathore]

@@OZMus This is in no way symbolic, Logaþore is a figure of speech specific to medieval Norse poems in Old English. The use of this letter is also - for me - a reference to the Icelandic language, the only language to use it today.

[@miglenadiankova6344]

@LordOfTheLostOfficial And adding your energy to it, the result becomes brilliant!

[@KingNios]

Still mad that the Eurovision audience did not appreciate these guys.

[@Shakatik]

They chose one of their worst songs for Eurovision, I would have ignored them too if I had not heard of this group before. Although for the last 3 years they've been releasing mostly crap.

[@lizylouluesley]

Me too. I stillbget annoyed haha

[@brendaanneckelsamgc5583]

Not all the Eurovision audience ... *Grin* Some of us loved Blood and Glitter followed the trail, and now there's a bunch of new fans in New Hampshire, USA!

[@byJannik]

On the positive side, I only know them thanks to Eurovision 😂

[@LoweGaming]

@@ShakatikThat is very much of a opinion I love Lord of the lost and always will but well the old songs are mostly better but I really like Blood and glitter and 100% my favorite on Eurovision my 2 favorite favorites was Lord of the lost-Blood and glitter and Voyager-Promise I love both of the rock bands.

[@anomnom3144]

As a big fan of Billy Idol and everyone always covering just the White Wedding, this made me really, really happy

[@Mahavegan]

Billy Idol is phenomenal! Big fan here too!

[@Dustangelms]

Holy hell I thought it sounded like something out of 90s, didn't recognize immediately it's a cover.

[@necrocleric13]

It's amazing how many different types of music you guys play. Very talented musicians.

[@elendil_lehtinen]

LOTL and their fiery love affair with the 80s and 90s - this is one of countless reasons for why they are the centre of my life!🖤💥🔥 "Shock To The System" clothed in LOTL fire and magic is the epitome of my taste in music and perfectly encapsulates the raw energy and the wild passion I'm living for!❤️‍🔥 This legendary track has already been an absolute banger before you guys set your eternally gifted hands to it - but what you made out of it is so ACE that I can't even fathom how cool, sexy and seductive this version is! I've always known that LOTL and Billy Idol would be a perfect match - not only because many of his awesome songs are adjacent to traditional goth rock, but also because all of you are breathing and radiating the same spirit of making this world a better place! And now we have this thrilling mélange of banging guitar riffs that make me lose control and drive me crazy, a danceable temptation that should easily cast a spell over the masses and a political statement that is much needed even decades after the original release of "Shock To The System".💥💦❤️‍🔥 I have to say: It's not one of your own songs, but I'm kneeling down to the nostalgic ambience and the straightforward rock approach of this tune from heaven! Definitely one of the best creations you've ever blessed the world with, from now on one of my favourite songs of all time, a fuckin' killer-tune I will be listening to wherever I go - and most importantly, another proof for why I don't need modern music as the 80s and 90s provided so much artistic grandeur with a quality most new stuff can't even come close to! ACE!!!💥🔥💥

Respect!!

Seconded!

[@juliagiovannagatell3370]

[@MrsNanaBlue]

Oh yes

[@PenguinDT]

Idol's Cyberpunk is hands down the most under-appreciated concept album of all time. I'm beyond delighted to see it getting more love.

[@Hells_ContractAuditor]

Adams in Chains is another great song from that album. You are 100% right it’s under appreciated.

[@Mahavegan]

I definitely agree with you

[@Nudgeworth]

Billy Idol has an album titled Cyberpunk?! I'll check it out

[@PenguinDT]

@@Nudgeworth Yup, it was his passion project. It's brilliant, but was pretty polarizing at the time.

[@JimmyJam184]

​​@@Nudgeworthit is brilliant and was ahead of it's time when it was recorded at the beginning of the 90s

[@UnidentifiedReaper1]

Can’t believe you guys shot this on a whim, it looks fantastic as always! Good job LOTL and Lennard for editing

[@beltree13]

I love how musically diverse you guys are! No matter what I'm feeling, there's a LotL song for it.

[@peoplenotabigfan.2008]

Who needs coffee when you have Lord Of The Lost.

Yeaaa so much energy and powerful⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟

[@Mahavegan]

Exactly! And I love your pfp, quite funny!

[@nessxergling157]

hell yeah! Not every band could do this song justice but you guys certainly did. Excellent.

[@LostBird59]

Sometimes being spontaneous really pays off. Apparently the video was planned and shot at short notice...and what a result! Amazing work by Lennard and all involved. I love how the band have captured something of the spirit of Billy Idol's original at the same time breathing their own unique flavour into the song. I'll listen to it again and again. Ooh yeah!!!! 🤩🖤💖

This song and Rebel Yell are my favorite by Billy Idol, so I'm really happy ! Good job guys !

[@theperplexedpademelon]

All of this is phenomenal! Thank you LOTL for just being you. Definitely have etched the way to being my favourite band of all time!

[@ReyLangosta]

Cyberpunk from Billy Idol is one of the most underrated albums I ever heard, this makes justice to a legendary song.

[@nickname_official]

Thanks to Lennard Schmitt for great video work.

[@alekseysh758]

god it looks so bad, this video. Like no one really wanted this baby. No scenarion, nothing but epilepsy lights. Actually any other LOTL video is better

[@TwiggyNameless]

Billy Idol has quite a few bangers and I always felt like you would do an amazing cover of one of his! Glad you did! Love this 🔥

[@fearlessheartproductions4210]

Not only is this band insanely prolific, but they own every note they lay down! Guys I been in the music business for 45 years and LOL is note for note the best band to come out in at least the last 30 years. These guys are going to be worldwide and on fire 2 years max!!

[@ISpinsir]

Maybe if they didn’t hate the States so much.

[@be_polite1505]

@@ISpinsir But they don't. The last time they tried to tour in the US, they were denied work visas for political reasons. They had already prepared everything, had high expenses for specialized lawyers and much more and were understandably very disappointed. But I think they will try again. After all, next year they will already be at 70,000 tons of metal, for which no visas are required.

[@LordOfTheLostOfficial]

@@ISpinsirExcuse us? We hate the States? What a bold and yet so false statement. What we hate are comments like these, that do spread hate and false facts for zero reasons. Well done.

[@fearlessheartproductions4210]

biggest lie in the music industry is that the US music artists are any indication of artistry or innovation. No. You have to create despite that market and push through it. (Rammstien is a good example) and they sing only in German. LOL will rip that following away from them because not only is the music and vocal better but it is in their own language. And covers album? Bravo!! Thats how it will start. Im pushing LOL like mad on all my channels. @@be_polite1505

[@fearlessheartproductions4210]

Also if they book a tour in Northern areas they would be golden, forget the American south. They wont want you until you blow them off, then they will love you. Just ask GHOST.@@be_polite1505

Awesome cover.

[@Birgit-2023]

❤ Well, I don't think Lord of the Lost is lacking in creativity. For the most part, it's always fascinating to see how you can achieve something big with something small. The play with the camera, the lighting effects and the overall unity of the band. The whole Lord of the Lost crew do an outstanding job. The band is simply brilliant and is rewarded with well-deserved success. You can probably sign off on that. And they should stay true to themselves. Continue with what makes them special, with their uniqueness. Also, the way Chris Harms can work with his voice - brilliant performance. Many thanks to Lord of the Lost - every single one of them - and the whole team. And, by the way, I'm sure there are quite a few people who would like to be part of a video shoot like this. 😉 I'm already looking forward to the "dark" album. And yes, I often like it unusual, crazy, rocky-metallic and dark. 😊

[@alicjamajewska2622]

The thing you said with achieving something big with something smal - the raining stars video is the perfect example of that. Everything happens just in a small room but it feels so grand and profound

[@LadyIridel]

This is amazing. I love it as much as the original. Awesome new spin that still pays tribute to Billy's version.

Hammer. Watched the entire song with a smile on my face. It's not just a copy, it's a perfect mixture of Billy and Lotl. Love the chaotic style of the video, a bit hard on the eyes, but it fits the title perfectly. You should be spontaneous more often, good things come of it apparently 😄
