So you graduated in 🤔 91- 92? I’m 1992! I saw these guys in concert. Ahhh the memories. Reminiscing is bittersweet.GenX is still the coolest Gen ever. Worked hard… played even harder! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Despite all the Zeppelin comparisons, this was an incredible record. A LOT of really, really good music on this. And yes, Kottak was a terrific drummer. RIP ...rock in peace, man.
As Zep fan who bought the vinyls when they released em, yeah these guys are comparable to them, except they are TIGHTER and this guy's vocals are BETTER than Plant's. Plus this drummer and guitatist are both crazy good. RIP James. Kingdom Come "Gettin it on" forever!
Saw these guys at the 1988 monsters of Rock in the Miami orange bowl Miami,Fla....Just an insane show all around and these guys definitely brought it that day....I'm 57 now ...I remember that show vividly....
He was too decent a man for modern Scorpions. James was first thrown out on the street after 20 years of work, and now they write that he is their brother in rock. Lychemers.
Shoot I graduated high school 1980 I was in this band the moment I heard this song I feel they should got bigger than they did It was people saying they sound like Led Zeppelin whining about it that ruined it They're 2nd album Sounded way different than a hit that when you put it together on MTV for the video It's said if you went top to bottom Kingdom Come in your face do you like it lol
When I first heard this song, I thought I was listening to Led Zeppelin; the riff reminded so much of "Kashmir" from Physical Graffiti. This song brings back good memories of the late 80's!
@@turtletherefswe6702 James Kottak = Montrose, Kingdom Come, Scorpions; Jason Bonham = Bonham, The Jason Bonham Band, UFO, Foreigner, Led Zeppelin reunions.
Wow! I just heard this song at a bar tonight and I'm like holy shit I remember this song from my rocking days and went up and holy crap this singer was a bad ass singer! And definitely sounds like Robert Plant in his zeppelin days
Jimmy Page HATED them for that very same reason. On top of that the singer of Kingdom Clone stated he never even heard of Led Zeppelin, he was only influenced by The Beatles & AC/DC! What a joker- f%&k him.
They have way better songs than this. I heard this song back in 1989 and filed KC away in the plagiarism bin. My mistake. For whatever reason I googled them 20 years later and found songs like Twilight Cruiser, Glove of Stone, Passion Departed, Mad Queen, etc. The Zeppelin influence is there, but not as blatant as Get It On. They definitely had their own sound. If nothing else, check out the outro solo to Twilight Cruiser. You will be glad you did.
I forgot how great this guy is on vocal xD oh ye, the 80s was truly freedom! and a more chill time. Ill bet many 50 + year olds agree 😄If I get re incarnated I would love to live the 80s once more haha
59 and I remember a radio do calling them King Condom That name stuck in my group of friends Told my daughters the story and played them the video. They love hair metal now
Saw them on the 1988 Monsters of Rock Tour at Tampa Stadium (we drove down from Nashville), they were the opening act for Metallica, Dokken, Scorpions and Van Hagar, What a show 🤘
James just kicks on this song!! Blasted this song and album all over Casper when it first came out! Nice to now that Kingdom Come is gonna GET IT ON again!!
I met the drummer for these guys when he was with a local band that rocked out her in Louisville,Ky at the Toy Tiger. Fire Department was there name. This drummer is bad ass! He went on to greater things
Hey there , i was a ToyTiger regular back in the 80's . The drummer here was James Kottak , he played for Buster Brown , (they were Louisville's hottest band at the time ) I was pretty good friends with Fire Dept. guitarist Allen N. Their drummer was Perry S., they still do reunion shows from time to time . Seems like yestetday , but its been a while . Just a little FYI
@@ricklee9473 thanks buddy. I saw them at cabin inn. Got them confused with fire dept. I knew Pat the bassist of Fire Dept. Buster Brown was the shit!!!!!!
Honestly I just heard this song earlier today at 12. Dad introduced me to this song. He thought I already knew this song bc we used to sing a lot of 80s hair bands together
They just played some festival in Sweden or someplace like that. They have a different singer that’s for sure and different drummer. They didn’t sound too good unfortunately. Could’ve just been a bad performance that I caught but…
I saw them in the late 80's, they opened the Monsters Of Rock tour in Philly, PA. They sounded excellent 😁🤘 Metallica played 2nd out of 7 bands. It wasn't long before they were closing shows.
This band was supposed to be huge, but for whatever reason, they just never took off. I’m 46 now, and have listened to this album ever since it came out in 1988 🤘🏻
Let's face it, this song is a complete rip of Kashmir...but it's a good one. I heard this on the radio when it first came out, but didn't get the name of the band. Spent two hours later that day listening to the same station to get the band's name. Picked up my paycheck after school that Friday, and headed to Coconuts (with a quick stop at the bank). Got out the pliers to remove it from the giant plastic harness, pushed the bass on my stereo all the way up, and let the neighbors hear it. I saw them open for...I want to say Scorpions? Has it really been 35 years? Anyone else miss record stores?
The comment i was looking for haha. I was in the shower when this song started to play. I was like " Who came first the egg or the chicken/ Led or this guys? hahhaa but year, the same way greta Van fleet got theyr own vibe too. its acceptable @@macthegov
Everyone was. Compared to Zeppelin especially Whitesnake in the 90s I used to dance with my now wife to Whitesnake 25 years ago . Listen to it now it’s still awesome

Loved these guys, lead man had propensity to stick foot in his mouth but so what all rock stars do at some point, these guys sucked they would of never made out of the backwoods bars & frat houses, but they were mainstay on MTV when it was fucking respectable, & you make the MONSTERS OF ROCK LINEUP, AT THAT TIME YOU KNDW YOU MADE IT!!!! They dint deserve all the hate they get, I LOVED THESE CATS!! ALWAYS A GOOD BACK BEAT!! Great drummer, & insane how criminally underrated the guitarist is!! THEY WERE ALL GRARGLY MUSICIANS, SHOW THESE CAYS SOME LOVE, TOO MUCH HATING OUT THERE!! I respect any & everyone's opinion but the comment section on these guys is truly depressing, if someone doesn't like them, so be it, every person likes who they likes, but no need to hate on something that's not your cup of tea to begin with!! # LONG LIVE ROCK, LONG LIVE METAL
I have always enjoyed this song. It ROMPS!! Years later I heard another song of theirs that I have never been able to find. It was equally stomping... Any ideas?
Pushing hard, What love can be, 17, Living out of touch were all great, I used to work a graveyard shift in a little guard shack in the late 80's and blast this cassette on a boom box until my ears rang.
Lenny should come out of retirement and play. He can still do it. Kingdom Come!!! Play clubs man. Who cares? People are dieing for Rock man. Nothing's left. Come out of retirement and play!!! Please.
@@brettkenschaft4239 yes, but they weren't trying to copy them. influences are a bit different than stealing entire identities that are so singular that there's no question about who it is. you emulate your heroes and add your personality to it, and with experience and talent you become your own and have your own style that's distinct. when you're stealing that distinction, you should rightfully be called out on it. zeppelin was called out many times, too.
@@ryanbarker5217 Listen to “Whole Lotta Love” and the Small Faces “You Need Love” or Jeff Beck’s “You Shook Me” which Zep did note for note, practically. Of course those songs were also American blues standards.
When I first heard this song, I was ripped at 2AM closed the bar time(Went home and put together my own recipe of chemicals) sorry but it’s true ! about 35 years old 90° at night and decided to water my lawn. (One friend still laughs about ).Now 61 and I still crank it! And still play with the chemicals. Sorry, but it’s true. Yes, it’s a zeppelin feel but in their own right they rock!!!!!!!!
I was at monsters of ROCK and they were there I had thought Led Zeppelin took the stage. WOW they were GREAT to bad Zep didn’t like like them sounding like them
While Led Zeppelin was an amazing band, they had enormous egos. It's a shame that their egos got in the path. The way I see it, good music is good music. And no one has the right to say nay to it.
Love this group and I read that they were the butt of jokes on the Monsters of Rock tour in 1988. Metallica would call them Condom Kings and yell out “Hey, hey, mama” when walking by them.😂🤣🤣
RIP James Kottak a phenomenal drummer. Blast those drums in heaven
A led Zeppelin article brought me here and I never left ! I remember everyone thinking that Led Zeppelin had reunited when this came out . Epic !
I drove a crappy Mitsubishi Tredia ...but blew out the speakers playing Kingdom come! Thank you!
I blew the speakers out of my 84 Cavalier! 👍🏼
@@davidbuckley8345 Good memories...you Mopar..haha
No more imports these days.🇺🇸👍
Put Pioneer Tri Axials in a custom box and put behind the seats of my pick up truck. Oh yeah....bandana curtains covering the split rear window.
80’s best times of my life !!
Biblical
Brings back memories of my youth as a 50 year old man I still enjoy this song
I'm with ya brother. I bought the cassette and wore that f'er out lol
I'm 57 and seen them in the 80s monsters of Rock with Van Halen, awesome
So you graduated in 🤔 91- 92?

Seen them hexagon 1988 reading UK brilliant

No one really gave this band a real chance. So, the guy sounded like Plant. They kicked ass.
God damn, the 80's were great.
They were a very underrated band great song and great band 👍
Это возвращает в прекрасное время отличного качественного рока которого уже вряд ли будет. С Удовольствием БРАВО. ВСЕГДА.
I'm 60 these guyz r nuts!!!!
Saw these guys at the 1988 monsters of Rock in the Miami orange bowl Miami,Fla....Just an insane show all around and these guys definitely brought it that day....I'm 57 now ...I remember that show vividly....
I saw that show in Orlando. I thought was earlier though .. hmm.
I saw that show in Giants Stadium, New Jersey...killer!!

He was too decent a man for modern Scorpions. James was first thrown out on the street after 20 years of work, and now they write that he is their brother in rock. Lychemers.
This takes me back to high school. Good times, good smoke, great Rock n Roll 🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘 Some of the best days of my life.
Those were the days, 1993 1994 🤟🏻🎸
You got that right. I was 23 and caught these guys at a Monsters of Rock concert in Washington DC.
Class of 92!
Shoot I graduated high school 1980 I was in this band the moment I heard this song I feel they should got bigger than they did It was people saying they sound like Led Zeppelin whining about it that ruined it They're 2nd album Sounded way different than a hit that when you put it together on MTV for the video It's said if you went top to bottom Kingdom Come in your face do you like it lol
Those were good times, i was a couple years out but man what i would do to go back to those days.
I lucked out and got to see these guys in concert.Way back in the day. They were awesome in concert. Still love them. ❤❤
Those 80's bands could bring it.
I saw these guys at Monsters of rock in 88. They were rocking. That was a great show. 👍
Saw that too in Seattle
same here in Dallas I was impressed
Saw that at Giant's stadium ❤
Liberty Bowl, Memphis TN 🤘
Also saw them in Memphis.
Real rock music from a much better time
When I first heard this song, I thought I was listening to Led Zeppelin; the riff reminded so much of "Kashmir" from Physical Graffiti. This song brings back good memories of the late 80's!

Very good I wish I could have seen that
This is real music boys and girls, this is rock!
@Mason Albert bringing Trump into this conversation? Really?? . Jesus...
Who mentioned Jesus?
I now see why they had been called "The Band that ripped off LED Zeppelin". However one can say Gretta Van Fleet is doing the same
When this song came out, I dismissed the critics. But yeah, I DEFINITELY hear the Led Zeppelin now. Very Kashmir like.
