Video

Someone reported it to YT a while back and it got restricted and I can't even remember without watching it again what was so offensive.....I'm sure it had to do with breasts though because apparently at least according to YT policies, there is no greater risk to mess up the minds of "children" than for them to be exposed to an image of a human female breast...one'll do it, you don't even need the pair! ;-)

@@MetalGuruMessiah I remember a Pink Floyd album that really had very old tracks on it and it showed a boob and a pear on the cover saying "a Nice Pair". My guess is that if you wanted to buy that album today, you would have to show a driver's license saying you were over 21 years of age. LOL!!!

Thanks so much for checking it and especially for taking the time to drop some encouraging words! I think that, although Flash and the Pan weren't as popular as some other bands of the time, they were absolutely more influential than most. If more people in the US were aware of the AC/DC connection when their albums were released, I believe that fact alone would have opened them up to many more fans...and even if they didn't click with every AC/DC fan, you and I are proof that some would have loved their work!

@@MetalGuruMessiah You're very welcome. I think you're right, more awareness of the link between AC/DC and Flash and the Pan would have got Flash and the Pan more attention. In my experience lots of music fans enjoy playing "join the dots" between artists.

Thank you for watching! Cheers!

Wow...thank you for such an incredible message...among the absolute most encouraging I've ever gotten and just when it helps the most cause at a time when my resolve and energy for the hobby is at a low ebb. New vids disappear pretty quickly (even if they were really popular in the days after upload), and harder to get motivated for effort to produce new content. I'm sure as the ever more competitive battle for views continues, the smaller channels will need to provide much of the new ad revenue demands....and the very first to be shifted to meet those demands would come from non-monetized channels such as this one where there's no $$$ to be lost in the first place?! One one hand, not a problem for me because I never expected to or have made any money from the videos, but very discouraging to see numerous results from the shifting algorithms. Anyways....I seriously appreciate your words for my efforts and for reminding me and motivating me today! Hoping to make some new vids soon...or eventually, at least! LOL! I'm looking forward to seeing what you've been up to as well and I wish you every success with your endeavors, my like-minded brother! Rock on and God Bless.

@@MetalGuruMessiah I really like King Crimson Music (and I really don't know why). I u/l a few videos of KC, but Fripp being a capitalist made me yank them all down, so me being a musician, I made some that were re-imagined KC. Also, I used to be a cartoonist and I made Beatles cartoons for fan magazines, but I kept getting letters from MPL Productions (McCartney), that they were going to sue me, so I used "a ghost" cartoon writer name and continued on, but I never forgot how they thought I was making money off of the Beatles.

@@MetalGuruMessiah Also, If you ever look up Music Videos on the internet, you will see some of my Beatles stuff under the names, Beatles Mash Up, Revolution 8, Revolution 9 take 2 and Revolution 10. I did them as jokes because McCartney's lawyers aggravated me for a few years. The lawyers must have since calmed down because I now see videos of them on your GREAT MGM site.

Thanks for the encouragement, my friend! Glad you enjoyed it!

This one is absolutely in need of an upgrade!!! I've actually just a week or so ago pulled a couple of files to start an update for it...funny in this case because it gets so few views...and I have many others that are much more viewed and equally if not clunkier videos than this one and which a video upgrade would get so many more views than I could get (best case scenario!) for updating a video for this obscure and overlooked Judas Priest track...and I swear if I didn't clearly think several times when I was pulling some video for possible upgrade "man, is it really worth the effort for this track....will anyone really care enough for it to be worth the effort?" (though you, I and many others in the comments do recognize it and might watch a video for it.....there's just not that many, relative to some of the other things that I've uploaded that make me cringe even more! LOL!) In the end though, I love the tune enough AND since it's going to use same concept as old one with upgraded elements (so not as much time for thinking about some concept) AND because i think it will be a fun one to play with (FIRE!) :-) AND last but not least, YES this is one of the worst sounding tracks, from a time when I was uploading .mp3's and when I automatically went to anything "remastered" and I'd really like to replace with an amazing 24/192 vinyl rip that I have. Anyway, didn't mean to go all War & Peace and woe is me on you and probably TMI, but it's just that this comment at this moment got me thinking. Wish me luck....and be sure and check out the updated version if it happens to pop up! Rock on!

@@MetalGuruMessiah I don't think it's your fault whatsoever, it just lost the punchiness of the kick-drum and bass guitar most certainly from the Remastering process. I have the CD version, and whilst the volume is certainly lower, it still has that slappy punch to it. I cranked it up and smiled and said "there it is!" 😊

This one's not on me....the song starts immediately....there's some strange effects playing but you gotta listen closer I guess. Had to come back and review it to know....it's been at least 10 years since I've seen it. The vid is even more horrible than I thought....Yikes....in those days of course most "vids" were just static images and the challenge was finding ways to make the songs/videos move. YW! ;-)

@@MetalGuruMessiah yes you are correct, my apologies...I wonder if this was deliberate on the part of the band? So odd. It adds nothing to the track whatsoever.

!!! I'll get back to you on that in a couple/few. Great suggestion!

@@MetalGuruMessiah many thanks and Best wishes.

Thanks so much for letting me know....it never really got a chance for any views, but it's still not too embarrassing to me after these years (unlike some others I made! 🙂) I love the song.
