Roger Glover - The Mask

[@ericstoner5668]

One of the first and most played videos I saw on MTV when we first got cable.

[@breakerbill8776]

The legendary bassist from Deep Purple, ladies and gentlemen!

[@glennporter6378]

Ah Deep Purple! I knew he was from a band l didn't know which one

[@ziggyzagzi8017]

He produced Priest's Sad wings in 74!

[@bobtaylor3010]

Hell yeah

[@jk-ct2tg]

And a lot more.

[@feelingcrafty]

Brings sweet memories of 1984. We used to dance to this song a lot. What a time to be a teen!

[@livininomaha]

Summer of '84. I was 17 years old and thought it was the coolest song ever when I first heard it. I especially liked the prolonged jam at the end of the original version. Wish I could buy it somewhere.

[@frankmoore7130]

Why can I not find this on Spotify.?

[@mikereiss4216]

@@frankmoore7130 Maybe go old school and buy the album instead? Just a thought.

[@bradfordpauler2538]

@@bradbennett67 16... Meaning I was in 84... I only thought of this song for the first time in over 35 years because I was thinking of all things "mask"

[@manfredmann2766]

I was 16, when I first heard this via the video, and I listened to it on and off ever since. That was still a good year for MTV.

[@Marian8mf]

Thank you for uploading this! I've been looking for this song for about 37 years...I just remembered a part of the chorus and that the guy looked like Phil Collins. I watched it once in Guatemala in 1984...I've searched You Tube years ago without success...but finally! I can't believe it! And I love it!

[@KAZVorpal]

I actually own a Station copy of this song on 12". I was a DJ, and it wasn't terribly popular, but I liked it so I kept it.

[@exploreyourworld111]

Same here! I thought I was losing my mind or was crazy I knew this song existed. Thanks for the upload I see my therapist in a hour now I can tell him I am not crazy!!!

[@erniehead]

I've been searching for this vid FOREVEr- I heard it once on Friday Night Videos on NBC and remembered the chorus ever since. Excellent vid! Excellent song!

[@glennporter6378]

That's where l also first heard it!

[@mattedison7175]

Meeeeeeeee toooooooo dude!

[@chrisa4695]

I have a similar story.

[@80skid76]

Same..... For 35 years

[@jsb_music]

Wow, what a great song from an incredible album. Always surprises me how good Glover's solo albums were. He should do more.

[@GuitarBeast-xp8dp]

I have this album on vinyl. The whole thing is excellent.

[@tom080955]

this fucking awesome song is nowhere to be found....geeezzzz awesome video...ive been watching this since the 80"s

[@themaz7637]

Took me years to figure out who did this song. I used to think the chorus was saying something else. Not sure how I found it, but I am happy I did. Like others, I was shocked to find out it was Roger Glover. Wish he would do more like this.

[@swami1]

Haven't seen this video since 1984. Thanks for posting! Glover is one of the few Brits who sing with an accent.

[@countmagnus08]

Hooray! I love this song. One of the deep-down strangest lyrics ever written.

[@jimvarlas1798]

🇬🇧🇬🇧. I haven't heard this for so long. What a great song from the past and still a great song today. A lost classic!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tom080955]

Wow,looking back at the comments here, looks like I have a history startin in the 80's to now looking for this song to keep...still unable to find it. This is my go to song ...I cannot get enough of it...the video is so well done and compliments the song.

[@gregm766]

Finally!!! I have been looking for this song forever, I was starting to think it did not exist. Thanks original poster!!!!!!

[@robhervey]

thanks for creating this brilliant piece of work...I've always liked it and have been looking for it on here...It's a pity MTV didn't give it more play....that time was such a dry period for quality music

[@douglasdouglas1203]

I finally found this song from the mid 1980s ! Could not remember the name of it but knew the approximate year it came out and that the video was set in some tropical voo doo setting . Thank goodness for google search engines ,etc

[@stevencoffman34]

Great video

[@mavissara]

What a great, catchy tune! I remember seeing this video way back when and it really stuck with me...

Wow, I was waiting for somebody to upload this great work of art. I haven't seen this song since late 80's!! Thanks for the posting, man!!! 5*

[@kittyprydekissme]

This song blew me away the first time I heard it (It was on 'Friday Night Videos'). The vocals in the verses have a very unusual sound, I thought. I never understood why this didn't become a real hit.

[@danielackerman9199]

perhaps one day we'll all get to sing this song together as a planet.

[@jessehammer4440]

[@MichaelLantz]

My local station 98 Rock in Baltimore,Maryland use to play this all the time in the Spring of 1984.

[@3rdshiftfornow]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME !!! I wish this had received more airplay back in the day. I remember hearing this once maybe twice on the radio, loving it and then forgetting it because I never heard it again until now - CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Lippman on a GREAT video and RG on a coooool tune !!!!

[@garymckee6200]

Who knew that Roger Glover would write the new World Anthem?

[@DanDennedy]

When I was a wee lad, my new neighbor, A. Leesman, who was a young adult and my role model blasted this song a few times one day on his really loud Hi-Fi system. I digged the music and the occasion even though it was not really what I was into at the time. He also introduced me to Alan Parsons Project and Asia.

[@alexnejako777]

it's a great song - very good use of synths and bass and the way it fades out is awesome.

[@tom080955]

Damn!!! I have been looking for this!! Awesome! I have a taped MTV 80's vid I too waaaaayyyy back when...glad to see its here. Thanks!!! T

[@grguitaracademy5144]

Underrated song. I ran into Roger Glover twice when I lived in his neck of the woods but I was always too shy and not wanting to bother celebrities to ever tell him how popular it was with my fellow classmates when it came out . . .

Thanks for uploading this song! I had the lp like 25 years ago! Please can you upload more of this record? I remember "Getting Stranger", "Fake it". It was an unusual thing back then since Glover has always been into hard rock (Purple, Rainbow and he also produced albums for Nazareth and Judas) but a real good stuff there!
