Santa Cruz are in the forefront of Scandinavian "eighties influenced metal" in my opinion. But there's also superb "newcomers" like BULLETRAIN with their excellent album "What You Fear The Most".
I have a confession. God, I miss the old Santa Cruz with Johny's doodily- doo.. You all know what I mean... Nothing against Archie, but the old Santa Cruz was one of the best bands this world was honored to see.
+MrRuger1977 Nah, they weren't. World War III panic, bad taste in clothing, NDW-music.. And a load of copies of copies of bad hair metal bands. Yes, there were some awesome hair metal bands, but the music companies were riding that concept to death. Kind of like casting show pop music nowadays. But it's nice to actually see a good hair metal band pop up again.
+Rec musicianship?? Nirvana?? Soundgarden?? Terrible fucking musicians barely able to play their fucking instrument. As far as rock is concerned the 90's was a time better off forgotten except for the odd shining light in the sea of ripped denim and lumberjackets.
+Simzoid because the record companies make more money with Rap, Pop and Country in the states, same with radio stations. I went to XM/Sirus radio and never turned on local programming again.
Awesome song! Takes me back to my 20's in the 80's. That was a killer time and the music will never compare to what it was then. Great to see you guys know it too and are keeping that music alive. You're extremely talented musicians. The guitar solos are off the chart!! I get chills every time I listen to it! Killer vocals too! Think I may have to purchase a copy of this album.
Lol what do you mean "music will never compare" Always some old granny making these silly claims - granny who has zero idea what music people are listening to Granny's love fat old dudes dressed in lipstick and torn jeans - 50, 60 year old women are always at the forefront of culture and music lmao
Let's bring it back!!!! So tired of all the hip hop pop dance music covering the airwaves. Santa Cruz shows a bit of all: Ratt, Skid Row, Guns n' Roses, Warrant, Slaughter, Bullet For My Valentine, Black Tide, Poison, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, White Lion.........Time for a change!!!
If it sounds like these guys are stuck in 1987, then all I can say is "GOOD"!!! The world needs more upbeat, hard-charging, straight-ahead, in-you-face rock and metal.
FINALLY!! It's about time 80's Hair makes a comeback. Best new song I've heard in YEARS. Chorus vocals finally have the right reverb/80's group scream to it. Hope these guys make it to the states. No way I'd miss them. These guys freaking ROCK!!!
a band from Finland (Finland has a most of rock/heavy bands in the world /per citizen). SANTA CRUZ was a one band of hundreds awesome bands (Universally 99.9% never heard from outside of Finland).
Second time in a row - head banging hair flying gutt wrenching very anthemic easy to catch on with everyone who listens!! Gotta say go guys go,,!!!!! I am an old (65) rocker from way back in the day n had my own metal band in 1980:s, n this kicks it deluxe!!! Great singer!!; Double guitars awesome too;;!!!!!Attaboy, Santa Cruz!!;;
@@alexanderotey4283 the singer did something really bad (non of the other members said what exactly he did) and since he hold all the rights of the band they couldn't kicked him out so they all left the band during their first US Tour and kicked him out of the bus in the middle of nowhere. Now santa cruz is just creating pop with guitar flavor. The bassist was now part of Bodom After Midnight and the other guitarist is producing now songs for other bands like Amaranthe or Lost Society
This is probably the best "modern" glam rock song ever made. It has everything, the sleaze, the hair, the attitude and most importantly it's tied to a really fucking good song. I'm a dude and I've had long hair for going on 15 years now and I would literally kill a man to have mine look that good.
Hey,cool Glam/Sleaze-Metal & the guitar solos are bad-ass! \m/ P.S. To the people who complain about the singer:this isn't some Emocore or Death Metal,with stupid ''cookiemonster''-vocals,listen to Whitesnake,Skid Row,G'n'R,early Motley Crue,King Diamond,Dokken or Judas Priest,this is how you suppose to sound when you do this style.
Music, scene, performance... I declare myself fans of this band of pure ROCK!!... TAKE THAT NORTH AMERICA... this finish band convervates the old spirit! yeahhh...
I really hope this band is a sign that better times are ahead, times reminiscent of the 80's and early 90's when bands sang about having a good time, they could play their instruments, and they looked like they belonged on stage. I think I hear some L.A. Guns influence.
Great to see a younger generation embrace a great sound from decades ago. The 80's glam sound was so saturated though it was refreshing when a little band called Nirvana took a sledge hammer to the cases of hairspray that was set to be shipped out to all those riding the gravy train. The wave was finally over and few were able to make the transition. I loved it, then I hated it, and now it's awesome to see another generation revive it for those who never knew how very fucking cool it was to grow up in the eighties!
It's the production that gives this track and album that absolute, pure, gritty but clean 80's sound. This would NOT have sounded out of place in '88 or '89. A proper, and true throw back album!!!
Santa Cruz, Skull Fist, Enforcer, Voltax, nos estan llevando de nuevo a los 80's a las nuevas generaciones. Señoras y señores, el Rock está más vivo que nunca. 🤘🏽
These guys aren't the glam metal like Bon Jovi, Britny Fox, Faster Pussycat or RATT. These guys are like late Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, FireHouse, and XYZ. More talented than the carbon copies they hail from.
Criss Wikked Mötley Crüe and Skid Row are no carbon copies. They're individual, top notch glam bands. Mötley Crüe actually is among the pioneers of the style, they started out in 1981. And it was bands like Mötley, that popularized glam metal. So in no way are Mötley a carbon copy.
Criss Wikked Well, you should have written it more clearly then. Your comment suggests that you consider Motley and Skid Row to be copies, which they totally were not.
These guys are sick! They might just be my new favorite band of all time surpassing my love for Guns N' Roses. I even got my 11yr old brother into them so much that he now fangirls over them. I can't wait till they come to the states again, i missed them last time they were here because of Senior Finals.
Finally music is making a come back that actually has musicians in it and that can play and aren't talking about being depressed! Where's the bands official YT channel? Is this it? Record company? Regards from the US.
Everyone is saying "omg these guys dont know what year it is!" but think about it... do u really think everyone should be doing typical justin bieber shit like usually these days...
Google the whole story yourself for more info, but in a nutshell all other members quit the band presumably because of Archie's behaviour. Santa Cruz still exists, but isn't the same band anymore. The energy is gone.
Why's everyone complaining about the singer? I think he has a cool voice. Imperfections truly make a singer. Just listen to Axl Rose or Lemmy Kilmister.
este tema es el unico que me salva de esta cuarentena , yo soy guitarrista y juro que apenas vuelvan los shows , con mi banda vamos a comenzar con este tema i love santa cruz
Hair rock! They look like and sound like they stepped out of the 80s! Killer tune with dualing guitars. Hey kidos look at this! This how you rock! Not from behind a computer!!!
