BARREN CROSS "Imaginary Music" (Reaction)

[@MichaelDrive]

Hey Shane, this is Michael Drive (Lee), the lead singer for Barren Cross. A good friend dropped me this link so I thought I would stop by. Nice reactions; I enjoyed watching this! By the way, just a bit of trivia - the place where we filmed this video for Imaginary Music was inside of an abandoned Synagogue in New York City. Very interesting place to shoot a rock video, indeed. Anyway, this is mainly just to thank you! Take care! Michael

[@ShaneDiablo]

Hello my friend! thanks for checking it out!

KILLERS OF THE UNBORN

[@JohnO318]

2 Great songs from that album, Would Love your reaction, LIVING DEAD & KING OF KINGS

[@konnan]

Living Dead is a monster track! I’d love to see a reaction as well.

[@martyhoeft6716]

Yes, Loved Barren Cross. Saw them in Concert every time they came to MN. So I believe I saw them at least 3 times. I even had them sign a photo for me.

[@kevintucker6000]

Barren Cross is a great band. I have seen them in concert a couple of times.

[@rodzillarox4882]

Awesome!! Mike Lee was the singer. Saw them live. They were great

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Yea, I remember Barren Cross. I had their first record on cassette. White Cross is another great Christian band that sound like Dokken and Ratt. Rex Carrol is an awesome guitarist.

[@amysson5151]

Great band. Great album. More please. Christian metal...IRONS UP!

[@francisplischke6946]

Great band

[@river8177]

Love BC and saw them live on the Atomic Arena tour.

[@davidscottlane7771]

Love this band. I have this album. I’m new here. Loving your videos.

[@ShaneDiablo]

David, the singer posted inbthe comments! Awesome!

[@clutch2827]

The album was actually better than I thought it would be. I humored my friend and listened to it thinking it couldn't be good being Christian rock. Then killers of the unborn started playing. Wtf??!! Lol!

[@martyhoeft6716]

Killers of the Unborn, Great SONG!!

[@jamesjackson7801]

I have seen BC a bunch of times back in the mid and late 80's in the Chicago area. love those guys!

[@StephenZimmer]

Great choice, Shane D, I love Barren Cross! Loved their Atomic Arena and State of Control albums, also recommend Hotter Than Hell Live, killer live album. Great stuff to crank up. There's been talk of them recording a new album and I hope they do!

[@stevenbunyon5874]

Did you forget Rock For The King and Rattle Your Cage?

[@StephenZimmer]

@@stevenbunyon5874 not at all. The other two were the ones that made me fans of theirs. A great band!

[@guitup7219]

Would love to hear a GOOD Petra song reviewed. Something like Minefield or You Are My Rock or Seen and Not Heard…

[@thomascastrovillo9256]

Favorite song is ( living dead) ( light the flame) ,killers of the unborn . All around brilliant band with no fear of candy coating subjects. They talked about suicide, drug abuse ,abortion, alchohol. To me they showed a light amongst dark subjects that most Christian bands would never tackle. Mike is one of the best metal singers . Yes he sounds like Dickerson but much more to his vocal capabilities. Birth pangs is one of the greatest live vocal performances ever to be filmed. Most singers would be unable to even hit notes mike did 30 minutes in but he did for a hour and a half! Like my girlfriend said he has a gift from a higher power. Wish they had done more albums . Check out their album ( rattle your cage) fantastic also

[@paul.theeightiesluvr.1980s]

To cool the lead singer came out and said hey one of the best from the eighties and a very humble singer love this attitude

[@markking6631]

Barron Cross, stage of intensity is a great song u need to listen too

[@salomoerdijk]

Me encanta tu reacción hermano, saludos desde Perú.

[@robbienance3526]

You should do Star Pilot by Saint. Christian metal at it's finest! Thanks for this one too!

[@slamdancer1720]

times end....heck yeah

[@williamreiser]

The whole album was very solid I loved a lot of Baron cross's material all the albums they did also if you want to go extreme thrashiness check out Deliverance weapons of our warfare the song and the album the first Deliverance album was really good too

[@dalefromshelby8002]

I've always thought he sounded like Bruce Dickinson also.

[@slamdancer1720]

to me the over all sound is more Dokkenish...but yes he does remind of Bruce.

[@chookvalve]

Bruce for sure

[@thomascastrovillo9256]

Barren cross did a live album called "birth pangs " check it out the greatest vocal performances I've ever heard! Wish they had done more they were the best band with solid topics

[@Bluestreak2020]

Rattle your cage was my favorite album with songs like the album title,Feed the bears, and Midnight Son!

[@orlandonievesriveratactico9108]

Real gteat band bro!!! R True metal never dies God bless you metal head!!!

[@axlmoisesimon3157]

My favorite ones are "Dying Day" and "Face in the dark". BC is Fantastic!

[@Professional-fh1ow]

So I'm 545 years old and the 80s were my he days for music. I'm a lead guitarist but also play multiple instruments and sing. You are correct when you say that Barren Cross was a bit like Bruce D and Iron Maiden. The music writing wasn't the same but Mike sounded A LOT like Dickinson. What you'll find though is that while Christian bands in the 80s wrote some great music they also had their influences as they were pioneers wanting to do a good thing. While early pioneers like Petra maybe had a but of a Boston, Foreignor influence, Ressurection Band sounded more like AC/DC or even a later band X-Sinner also sounded like AC/DC. Then you had early 80s Daniel Band who's singer sounded like Geddy Lee. Whitecross sounded like Ratt, Saint like Judas Priest musically AND vocally but I also have to say Stryper was refreshing having their own sound.

[@MegaRockstar5150]

I know right ,,,, what the fuck did those bands do after shows ? Go home have a cup of tea with fans some cookies maybe

[@cola81374]

Shane, the Atomic Arena album is one of the best out there the entire album is bad ass check it out! the lead singer mike lee is singing in a band called Gale Force check out the song Subhuman, song and album is getting excellent reviews.

[@steveoverdrive55]

They had far better songs to put on video. They were really good.

[@SPRAYPSALM777]
