this song means sooo much too me. A Friend showed it to me, and It introduced me into the world of Heavy Metal. Way back at the age of 13. I was blown away and I became a HUGE Running WIld Fan. I love this song up to this day. Everytime I hear it, it brings a big smile to my face
@@markuskrueger1197 I think that they're respected and loved worldwide, far from being underrated or underappreciated. And still are able to attract young people or new audiences in general (mostly with their old stuff, but anyway). I don't know why people put comments like this. I mean, do they expect Justin Bieber level of popularity? My bet is that Running Wild and the like will still be listened to in 100 years, as opposed to the 95% of popular music originating in "our times", with little to none musical content
@@krzysztofherdzik1500 Well said. I believe they are widely appreciated and rated very highly amonst bands of this style of music. Very few bands of this style have reached the heights of Running Wild, and deservedly so!
This and Riding the Storm are just 2 songs that take you away from it all and makes you imagine your own the deck of a galleon with the wind and sea spraying in my face! Best Metal songs ever for me! Just can't seem to get tired of them. I wish they were on AC Black Flag! LMAO
Nice. I remember listening to this tune sometime in summer of '93 and being mesmerized by this incredibly somber, with church - like sound and harmonies guitar intro. I really liked how it seamlessly transitioned into the very energetic song. Great memories. Timeless track (I hope).
Running Wild is an awesome band whose style, to me, parallels Iron Maiden. Not saying one copies the other, they both started at about the same time. But that both their styles sound similar and unique at the same time. Both bands kick ass!
I felt Running Wild borrowed heavily from classic metal bands like Judas Priest, Saxon (can even see a Biff Byford influence in Rolf's voice) and classic rock bands such as Thin Lizzy. They then added their faster power metal style to it as well. Their earlier albums were more raw speed metal influenced heavily by the NWOBHM. I cannot find any Iron Maiden influence whatsoever in this band.
Maiden is mostly gallop while Running wild is mostly about triplets in the rhythm section. Both bands combine those styles with great harmonies though so I get what you mean.
The word "epic" gets thrown around so much these days, but... Yeah, this is a fucking epic tune if I ever heard one. Same goes for a whole lot of other Running Wild songs, BTW.
beste metal band ever! keine andere metal band hat soviele hits rausgehauen über all die jahre wie käpt´n rolf und seine jeweils aktuelle mannschaft. dem mann gehört ein denkmal gebaut auf dem metallischen olymp. der is jetz schon legende, der gute. Running Wild Forever!

running wild is a teacher to all of us... listen to this song... the intro is the best one i've ever heard... the main song super... refren... so much to say about this band... but i am just going to say... HAIL
Running Wild Forever rules!!!!!, doesn't matter if is Vinyl or Mp3...the best way to listen his band is in concert....but the captain down the flag and leave the ship ,,,,Long Live Running Wild!!
To dynaflow 74 : I'm totally agree with you ! Running Wild is still a great Metal band , for me too , and i'm very disappointed of their split....I'm a French Running Wild fan and i saw them on stage only 5 times (in France & Germany) but The band is still in my heart !
Od RUNNING WILD w 1988 r. zaczęła się moja przygoda z Heavy Metal . Ahoj Piraci From RUNNING WILD in 1988 my adventure with Heavy Metal began. Ahoy Pirates
@@ulquiorrashiffer AHAHAHA, rap died too. What your uneducated mind calls rap is actually mumble rap where they only mumble . Every rap fan disagrees that this shit is rap
@@matthewclarke4127 Not at all ! The tempo of rw is far different so is topic matter and delivery.. both top tier metal bands but pirate metal and maiden aren't the same thing
@@shawndugan9510 what band you been listening to ? I said it as in general! The band literally sing about piracy and are known for it even the sound is built around it.. you mustn't know very many words to the tracks if you think otherwise or know a pirate themed sound
@@ETH85 I know buddy!! I know a lot about metal and RN. I was just stating facts. RN is heavy metal with some albums talking about pirates n shit. Remember to put periods at the end of your sentences. pirate metal is bullshit! It’s heavy metal!!🤘
yeah i found rolfs profile on facebook when i googled his name i checked it out he even lists some of the his influences the made running wild what it is, and yes fans iron maiden is one of them
