The craziest thing about Udo is he sounds EXACTLY the same as he did 40 plus years ago. No metal god - not Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Paul Stanley or even Brian Johnson sound as good as their youth, but Udo is older than all of them and he sill sound identical to the records. He is the best freak of nature ever. See him live, he does not disappoint!

Saw Accept open for Ozzy around 1983/84, and they blew Ozzy off the stage. Balls to the wall!

[@abbadon3718]

So many hours of my teen years spent walking around town listening to balls to the wall on my Walkman, so many vhs recordings of headbangers ball trying to find that perfect episode where they played the perfect videos before and after balls to the wall so I could watch an unholy trifecta before having to rewind the tape.

[@doublep1980]

What Accept did,is truly remarkable.They lost their iconic frontman,a death sentence for every band and were pretty much done. Then they return with a new singer,who not only does a fanastic job,singing the old material but also breathed new life into them and they manage to crank out new albums,that are actually quality stuff,like their classic output,plus they kick arse as a live band,playing with more energy,then bands half their age. Seriously,if you have the chance to watch them playing,go for it,they're amazing live. One of the greatest comebacks in rock/metal history,not doubt about it. EDIT: I just read that Peter Bartels left the band,after over 40 years,that is a big blow for Accept,the guy pretty much co-wrote all the classic songs with Wolf and Gabi Hoffman.

[@user-so4gp2sf1o]

Couldn't agree more. In 2010, when I saw a new Accept album had been released I was skeptical. After all look what happened the last time, it didn't quite work out and they asked Udo to come back. But wow was I blown away with Blood of the Nations. It exploded out my speakers like a nuclear blast. I started to listen to them again and haven't looked back since.

[@dudejrryan]

Agree. Been an Accept fan since Restless & Wild. Felt Udo was irreraplaceable until the new singer blew me away.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I also was very concerned about Accept when I found out that Peter Baltes left the band. Then Too Mean To Die album finally came out, and I was very impressed with how amazing it turned out to be. I have listened to it many, many times since it was released, and I love it more with every listen. So far it is Album Of The Year for me.

[@trendmassacre8423]

The reason Peter left is because he found out after all these years he was just a hired gun and not an official member. That angered him so he left to join UDO.

[@doublep1980]

Great point about modern Metal production. I absolutely love a big, crisp, expertly hyped modern sound, but the polish, the clarity, and the evenness rob richness and breath. I was just checking out "The World, The Flesh, The Devil" last night by In Solitude and while it's got clear, controlled production, there was a bit of Mercyful Fate/Helloween there and I really liked that.

I love ACCEPT but I have to say the one album that put them on top and was also "ahead of it's time" was Ball To The Wall..a fucking MASTERPIECE...love em or hate em you can't deny it.

[@metaldams78]

I was born in '78 and have memories in the mid 80's being a very young kid in the mall with my Mom, grandma (Yiayia R.I.P.) and brother being bored to death in some clothing store. A TV on the wall had MTV on and some guys banging their head against a building - forcing it to collapse. Even at that young age, I thought it cheesy, funny and awesome at the same time. It left an impression because I never forgot it. In the late 90's I got into Accept while looking for old school metal, but while I knew the music and certainly the song "Balls To the Wall," it wasn't until KZbin about 30 years later where I realized as a young kid it was the damn "Balls To the Wall" video I watched that day. Accept fucking rules, love this video. "Starlight" is my favorite Accept song. Udo's vocals and those twin guitars get me every time.

I saw accept in 1983 opening for kiss in New York City's Radio city Musical hall. I was there to see kiss but they blew kiss off the stage and I was shocked to see 50 percent of the crowd in black leather jackets with accept plastered across the shoulder blades and the when they played balls to the wall I felt the music hall shake with the entire crowd singing along and stopping their feet. Unreal, you had to be there. Became my new favorite band that night! Also saw them blow Ronnie James Dio off the stage in Madison Square Garden on the Sacred Hart tour. Udo's voice was like a thunder storm filling the Arena as compared to Dio's light rain shower that was very hollow and could not cut through the huge Arena. Again the opener got the biggest pop of the night with Balls to the Wall. It was awesome to also see them perform heaven is hell in a sold out 20k seat Arena.

I was first introduced to Balls to the Wall when it first came out, when I was in 6th grade. Was blown away even then at that age.

[@KaoVamp]

Hey Razor, here's a little history note I hope you'll enjoy. To explain to anyone who may be wondering why Heidi Heida gets booed off the stage in Poland, between 1945 and about 1970 the Polish film industry had a thing where in historical dramas characters spoke their appropriate language. In a WW2 movie that translated to actors who spoke decent Russian cast as the Red army, actors who spoke decent English cast as the British and of course actors who spoke German cast as the Germans, at least for major spoken roles. You also had plenty of extras to make up the necessary numbers, who were monolingual Polish. The chorus for Heidi Heida is really easy to teach to extras for a "German troops singing and drinking at a bar" scene, to have the entire place erupt into song. I can't give you titles off the top of my head, but Polish WW2 movies got a lot of mileage from Heidi Heida, which lead to an association with Nazi thugs in the minds of a good chunk of the population. I think you can see how well Udo singing that in camo gear would go down, knowing how the song was used for about 30 years. I know the song is far older than that, but a lot of people sadly don't. I'm not here to defend that association, merely to explain it.

1st: The ending interview audio is jacked up. 2nd: Andy Sneap ruined JP? Are you referring to the tour because Firepower is ALL kinds of ass kickery.

[@celticfury7328]

Firepower is all asskickery because Tipton had already put his stamp on it before announcing his illness and heartbreaking retirement...Razor HAS to be talking about Sneep fucking up the tour by leeching a spot onstage to live out his teenage fanboi fantasies with the METAL GODS.

Celtic Fury He did a great job filling in for Tipton on tour. Remember it was the other guys in Priest who asked him to do it.

The most accurate review of balls to the wall ever💪

[@toddabuck]

I'll never not love accept with my whole fucking heart

[@Duojett71]

Great episode....Accept is an amazing band. I always wish they would have located Jorg Fischer for the reunion. Great guitarist. One thing of note about the 'Animal House' album. If you listen closely the track "Lay Down The Law" sounds different sonically than the other tracks....and I am pretty sure it is Accept that performs on that song. The rhythm guitars sound like Accept. The lead licks sound like Wolf and the solo sounds like Jorg.

[@DokkenSabbath]

I believe it is Accept playing on that song. My copy says featuring Accept.

[@Duojett71]

@@DokkenSabbath ....Yeah I asked Matthias Dieth from U.D.O. if it was actually Accept on that song and he confirmed it was. Apparently Accept recorded some of those songs from the 'Animal House' album as Accept before Udo left. The record company decided to put one of those recordings on the album. The whole album was written by Accept and was intended to be the follow up to 'Russian Roulette'.

THANK YOU! Cannot agree more with your opinion of "Balls to The Wall". What you said needed to be said. It is a pinnacle in metal, in all regards. Perfection. And I've always maintained "Losing More Than You've Ever Had" is the true hidden metal gem, powerfully moving.

[@garybobst9107]

If you're on the road at night,and you need to stay awake, put Accept in the stereo and crank it up. The only time I ever listen to metal....

[@filipnezak2084]

Sodom Mythos would be great.

[@williamlevin239]

Hey Razorfist I would love to hear your thoughts on Accepts new album that came out

[@heavyaccept]

Accept: What a fucking great band! I remember an old Metal magazine article was mentioning the trademark of the dual Flying V guitars! I think Metallica were influenced from this, that's why in their first lives both Hetfield and Hammett were playing flying V as well!

[@vladalexeev8529]

My late grandmother shown me that band in 1986. We didn't know it was metal. We were in USSR and she was an old woman. The album was Russian roulette and Tv wars, monster man blew me away. Aiming high. Back then I didn't know it was metal, but later I've found all the albums and dislikes Eat the heat only.

[@chadgray5872]

This damn episode of Metal Mythos needs way more views man. 37,000? For Accept?! You guys need some Lady Lou in your lives!!!

[@memneophilia]

Dude this was awesome. Yes, i listened to blood of nations over and over and over

[@voulkenklawze1120]

Wow!! Those are my three favorite classic metal bands of all time.

[@dravenquinn264]

Hell Yeah I love U.D.O and Accept I’m 21 going on 22 later this year and I’ve loved Rock And Metal since I was a kid when my Dad got me into classic rock n roll and heavy metal Udo Dirkschneider is one of my favourite metal singers I saw U.D.O Live 2 years ago here in Edmonton on March 16th 2018 at The Starlite Room when they played Accept songs for the last time it was a great show and I’ll always forever love rock and metal until the day I die🤘

[@dravenquinn264]

I also saw Accept with Kreator live on September 21st 2012 at The Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver it was a great show too🤘
