[@ardystern]

The most underrated American band. Some of the greatest hard rock albums ever recorded.

[@YoloMcSwaggot]

God damn, this band sounds amazing live.

[@its_taliaaa_9142]

First of all, how does this video only have 7.6 thousand views. Second all of, not trying to spread hate, but who gave this a thumbs down ?! This band absolutely SHREDS 🤘🏼

[@cadelk87]

It only had a thousand before Todd appeared on The Voice

[@martinstefanov9921]

This defines "metal"! The music is great, the musicianship is great, the performance is great, the sound is great. While some mainstream pop fans can follow metallica or even middle finger death punch, or trivium or other contemporary "bands", we, real metalheads know better. I'd cherish more a Riot 5 concert in a small underground club, than any stadium performance by pseudometal groups of today.

[@ramaynard77]

I've been a huge fan of the Fire Down Under and Rock City albums for a loooooong time. Just recently found out that this band has been putting out new music over the years. Wow. These guys kick some serious a$$. Great show! Awesome songs.

[@crashcarney100]

Can’t wait to see what he and Blake put together on The Voice! Great melodic hard rock band fronted by very good vocalist! Rock on!

[@oldschool6425]

Melodic hard rock band? Riot V is a power metal band of the highest order...

[@rwascher]

I am kind of shcoked that this video has so little views and no comments! When I heard "Bloodstreets" on Headbanger's Ball back in the 80's, I went out and bought the "Thundersteel" album...and it just about blew my socks off!!!!! There is not one, single bad song on that record!!!! So, of course, I hunted down their entire collection and have been a fan since! I recenlty started hunting down their music on KZbin and ran into videos of their latest singer, Todd Michael Hall. HOLY F*****G SH*T!!!! What a gifted vocalist! This band has NOT lost their fire!!! So glad to see they are still around and going strong! And this live video is absolutely amazing!!! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!

[@RetroMediaLibrary]

I don't promote my channel at all and youtube's algorithm doesn't care about smaller channels anymore, but I don't mind staying underground and I only upload for a small select audience anyway.... thanks for your comment.

[@mitchellschleede569]

Agreed!

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I agree with everything that you said. I love all their albums big time, but Thundersteel is easily my favorite album. One of the greatest albums ever in my opinion. They are definitely still going strong. Todd Michael Hall is a phenomenal lead singer. He was in another amazing band called Jack Starr's Burning Starr before he joined Riot V. That band also has an incredible catalog in my opinion. Both bands should be much bigger than they are.

[@cynthiaburris6127]

Ummm....this is wayyyyyy better than what we saw on the Voice. I'm guessing we're in for a wild ride!

[@markob6152]

I was never into rock until I saw this performance... Only amazing

How the hell is the guy 50! And his range. I'm from the voice and watching his audition, which was a performance in my opinion, was amazing.

Listen to the Thundersteel album, it will blow your mind!

[@thndersteel]

@@ankihansen2489 Tony Moore is a legend. Todd is great, but Moore in his prime was a beast! Thundersteel best metal album ever, I agree....

[@ankihansen2489]

@@thndersteel Yes, Tony is the only one who can sing Thundersteel with true power

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

In my opinion this bands whole catalog is amazing. I agree with one of the posts above mine that Thundersteel album is a MASTERPIECE! Other albums like Immortal Soul, Fire Down Under, The Privilege Of Power, Restless Breed, Rock City , Narita, and Born In America are MASTERPIECES as well. Excellent catalog from this extremely underrated band big time!

[@archie6962]

Great band !

[@andxmenx]

They're fuxxxn flawless

[@twiztidlestat]

Wow, they sound amazing. I never heard of them until today, this happened to auto play after Satan, and I REALLY like this

[@drewocie5314]

No original members here either....but this guitar player learned from the original guitar player.....they take this shit seriously......they are so tight as a band right now

[@polishmafia1866]

Amazing

[@ardystern]

Listen to Fire Down Under (1981), Thunder Steel (1988), Immortal Soul (2011). Unleash The Fire (2014), Armor Of Light (2018) , all classics.

[@PauloHowlett]

Agree.

[@asmodai2025]

The Privilege of Power is also just as worthy of a listen as well!

Incredible awesomeness \,,/

[@jaimeres]

I’ve been a Riot fan since Fire Down Under and lost interested after Thundersteel, but this version of the band kicks ass! This singer is top notch, and they do justice to the original songs. Too bad they didn’t do a couple of songs from the Rhett Forrester era.

[@laurenzgraffilpenstein8117]

Good combi Deep Purple / Riot

music n voice of truly metal...

[@maniamraja5543]

How funny, when I was into heavy metal at the age of 18 listening from Black Sabbath to DIO to SKID ROW to SLAYER and much more ... till now still rocking on at the age of 50 . HOW THE HELL DID I MISS OUT ON THIS BAND? THE VOICE OF THE BRAVE VOCALIST IS SHARP , HIGH & POWERFUL! Unbelievable!!! Hopefully these band comes over to Singapore. 👍👍👍👍😈😈😈👿🎸🎸🎸 JOHNNY BACK...

[@cadelk87]

What's worse is I had all their records in 1981 and they lost me with the follow up to their third and I missed out on THUNDERSTEEL! Finally discovered it recently and have been devouring it constantly

[@andxmenx]

Same here. Took time to discover them too.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pewpewcat7679]

I hope they gain more interest as a band through him being on the voice. My hope is for him to win but these types of shows are too predictable in the type of vocalists they promote and to me seem rigged anyway. It's so nice to have some good music on the voice for once though 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is so good. It's fucking magical 🤘🏻🦄

[@sherrytrenner9452]

PewPew cat I agree with you! Hope he does win on The Voice but I'm not holding my breath. I'm with you on that also I think it's rigged. Usually the musicians that rock get cast aside. His vocal abilities are above and beyond so I don't see how he couldn't be the winner !!

[@JoseDiaz-tg2gv]

Simplemente épico

[@jademoreno7838]

[@SuperBrowning308]

??? is it because they have traces of Maiden, Metallica , Priest Accept ? is it because they do a few things better than those mentioned ? why haven't they made it bigger ? I hope The Voice is to revitalise RIOT I was pretty impressed with his audition until I watched this concert, Ive felt like a 16 yr old again for the last 54 min. ( 51 by the way) a much deserved bow to Riot

[@cadelk87]

They influenced the bands you mentioned. I have a feeling their career will take off

[@ankihansen2489]

Riot existed way before Iron Maiden, Metallica and Accept. Mark Reale started it in the 70's and the band has gone through a lot of lineup changes, but it has had 5 amazing singers: Guy Speranza, Rhett Forrester, Tony Moore (my favorite one), Mike DiMeo and the guy you see here (Todd Michael Hall). “Why haven't they made it bigger?“ That's a question we fans always keep asking... Mark Reale fought till the end of his days to make this band work, at least this band has reached a cult status!

[@jemay3299]

As you may have notice Michael is 1 year younger old than yours and he still kicking the high Notes.. That's extraordinary ..

[@hyutheripper1943]

how. many " Riot " Band out there..?😢😱😨😵😯😯 which are. the best ?.. but this one have a GOLDEN CLASS VOCAL 👍👍💪💪💪✅👌👈 its type similar same with , Helloween , steelhearth , dream theatre, iron maiden 😯 what else..?

[@sergioponce5207]

Siempre que escucho Riot y especialmente el disco Thundesteel... no dejo de pensar que Judas Priest, escucho mas de una vez este disco para inspirarse al componer Painkiller.... es muy evidente el parecido. Pero bueno , Painkiller tuvo la suerte q por ahi no la tuvo Thundersteel... digo en notoriedad. Saludos desde Argentina !

go todd team blake all day

if i was gay i would marry Todd Michael Hall

[@mccartney2]

SO IS THIS THE CONTINUATION OF Riot? Guy Speranzas band...who did Narita??? think the singers great..... and some of the stuff is good...but the "speed" thing ??? they need to sometimes slow it down...and just do good "rock" wow..just heard their version of road racin at 36 minutes..bloody awesome...and Singer sounds like Speranza on it....fab !!!

[@asmodai2025]

Correction, *Mark Reale’s band.

[@kimjongun2052]
