This song is really helping me out right now, at this time in my life. I just turned 40 last week; from a biological standpoint, due to ongoing health issues, I'm facing my mortality not far away... ... that being said ... This and this video, is just the kICK IN THE ASS I really needed!!!!!!!!! (Thank You, #FASTWAY ) Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to resume working on leaving behind a legacy - those before me, would be proud of!! *\ m /*
*UPDATE* I'm still hanging in there!! Just received my Yellow Belt in *Karate* - and want to continue showing anyone with a transplant - can still kick some ass in life!! It's just a matter of finding your place, inside the sun!! *- NAC*
Very similar to Jack Russell, guy I used to think it was Great White, lol. After listening to both I can see the similarities. I have this cassette and the Trick or Treat soundtrack on CD.
I love all of the Dave King Fastway albums, but always thought this record suffered a little bit from 80s production techniques (gated drums, excess keyboards). Would love a chance to have this remixed and remastered. It shows more on the rest of the record than on this tune specifically.
Gone but never forgotten Rest in Peace Fast Eddie Clarke but don't we all know how sweet the show in heaven will be .When this song came out we all thought the world would wait for us .
People need to remember that this third album of theirs was easily surpassed by their follow up “Trick Or Treat”. Fastway reestablished themselves as relevant with the TOT soundtrack. They were already amazing to begin with but they totally got with the times on that album and really cranked out nothing but hits. In my opinion trick or treat is their most aggressive effort.
great voice. this band deserved much more credit in heavy metal. AMAZING band , fantastic line up in this song. It is a shame that some amazing bands did not reached the TOP just because there was not the " correct " management surrounded them ....like in life....
They were desperate for a hit album, since All Fired Up bombed commercially. I can't blame them, because those first two albums should have been bigger hits. They were decently popular in America, but it wasn't enough. They bounced back with the Trick or Treat album soon after, but by that point the band was already taking on water.
This band and song has helped me get through some really challenging times since i can remember when i am now 50 years old and i still love my music from this era never dies this cool music not ever
RIP Pete Way Dave King had a great rock music voice. From Fastway to Flogging Molly...weird transition, but great. I saw Flogging Molly a couple years ago with Dropkick Murphys....easily one of the best concerts I've EVER been to. SUCH energy from both bands. If you ever get a chance to see Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly (especially if they're touring together), ....DO IT !!! You won't be disappointed.
I never knew the singer I had heard occasionally in Flogging Molly was this same guy I listened to on thousands of occasions between this album and Trick or Treat with my parents and to this day!
Had the honor and pleasure of opening for these guys back in 84. Just for kicks we played the first two bars of Say What You Will and stopped. Then we said if you want to hear that one you'll have to wait for the real thing. I'm sure that when Fast Way heard us start that song in their dressing room their first thought had to be "what the hell are they doing"!
I remember hearing this when it came out & going “WTF??” Where were the loud, raw Fast Eddie riffs?? Tossed the cassette in the garbage. Trick or Treat got their sound back but by then it was too late
What a miserable shame that Dave turned his back on rock and roll forever, but when you have one bad break after another you're gonna try something else something the opposite. That sucks, but that's the way it is. He's still good, but he's lost his looks and headed back to where he was when he was a kid and I mean an even younger kid than in Fastway! How old was he in Fastway? He looks like me when I was 16. I'm 38 and don't look at all the same anymore. We all grow older. Face that reality and the world does wait for you!
+Benjamin Blake Mitchner I see your point dude . I miss this time in music also unfortunately it changed and Dave had to follow the trends it's sad how music has changed and there is no Hard Rock anymore only Heavy Metal that sounds like Death Metal. It's crazy because there is so much potential still in Melodic Hard Rock.
MrSmokeydog That's the point I was trying to make. Flogging Molly is not for me. Hard Rock existed for what doesn't even seem that long a period in time and heavy metal all became perverted cookie monster shit. It used to be really good music that was called heavy metal it was melodic and had good songs and usually great musicianship, but blink of the eye and it was dead as a door nail. I used to think the 90s were all bad, but they weren't Fuck the 2000s this is when everything fell apart and not just music, but the world.
Hey Dude were coming up on a new election and with new leadership in our country maybe everything will make a shift in time where all of the music and the media had a clue of what was great stuff. "NOT" Sorry brother that was then and this is now and as far as I am concerned everything is going to hell in a bucket.
MrSmokeydog I agree with that sentiment. Trump is an insane hate filled piece of shit and I hope he loses otherwise the world is doomed not just our country. Hillary is my choice, but she has done some bad stuff too. How far we have fallen. We are going to hell in a bucket.
my bad thinking of a different person but i thought it was the lead singer of fastway that died in a car accident back in the 80s with vince neil vince neil survived naturally but his friend died
I still much prefer the full version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YBlqsZa-K2Y.html, I miss the pounding drum intro to the guitar solo on this cut
