LYRICS:
I gotta see you moving fast
See you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last
Never fade away.
Gotta see the lights above
Make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all a-fire
Set it all a-light
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I don't what I'm gonna do
Maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all a-fire
Gotta treat you right.
I can see the flashing lights
Lit before your love, ohh
Gotta hear the thunder roar
Coming from above.
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I'm gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man
I ain't got no choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I can see the stars
I can see what's going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.
Only time will tell
If I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny.
Cannot squeeze the life from me!
I can see the lights
but I can see what's going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.
Business in collapse
Some men don't like it so
Helpless maybe babe,
but you can leave or join the show.
Cannot squeeze the life from me! - Hudba

Mustaine is really swinging on that rhythm 🔥
Ron McGovney's bass playing is awesome!
Is it weird that this is my favorite version of this song?
+Cody Peaster Nope, if you like it, that's fine. In fact it's really cool version.
if you like weird vocals, which young James has here, comparing to great vocals of the original - well, thats...dunno lol
not at all dude. but gotta agree with dave. nothing will ever top that recording
no, cause anything sounds superior with mustaine on it
Before you say "never, period" perhaps you should listen to Metallicas 1982 cover of Killing Time period.
Wow James voice sounds so different but still cool.
He was trying to sound like Sean Harris.
He didn't do a bad job of it.
@@MKDumas1981plus he was at the time of the the demo march 1982 18 legit a kid
Its a demo from 1982, of the greatest Thrash band playing a Diamond Head classic with crazy youthful vigor! I mean they recorded it on a 4 track in McGovney's garage, it is not supposed to be Grammy award winning production here. Come on man you need to get a life! It is amazing to hear their roots and I personally think its awesome!
The only time Metallica ever performed the "Gotta be good, see you tonight" part.
Damn i wish i lived in the 80s......
Promising band, hope theyll make it
holy shit james is nailing it
Love a treble bass sound from Ron Mc Govney,old Metallica bassist..like Lemmy Motorhead sound..
The whole band is on fire here (even Lars although he's just going "kick snare kick snare")
Love how basss sounds in the chorus!!!!
holy shit this sounds so similar to DH
Amazing!!!
who is the person that had this hidden for decades?!? Cant believe this stuff even exists. Amazing
this sounds great. Punk fans will always love their early stuff more than the stadium metal they turned into later on.
Estas en lo cierto yo amo el punk y me encanta No life Til leather
For me the early metallica its like fusion of british punk&NWOBHM
My favorite Diamond Head song. I think it's pretty good considering they're like 16 and in a garage.
Hey it's that girl from the excorcist!
Let Jesus Yeaheah you!
Dave and Ron actually had pretty good chemistry
Great outro!
This is James Hetfield singing.
yes he is. he was really young, this was before kill em' all
Btw love the tuned up sound.
It gives punk style
ich liebe dieses lied und das ist die beste Interpretation von Metallica
When is Dave gonna guest on a new album? This so BADASS!
How fast shit moves in the entertainment industry. This is them in 1982 and by 1984, 2 members have been replaced and their sound on Ride the Lightning was completely different
They were also very harsh here !The bass rumbles properly.That's what poster at the left ?Diamond Head ?\ m /
probably micheal schenker i have seen a lot of old metallica photos from that time and they had a huge micheal schenker poster
@Ryanmetalmatthew actually he sang the chorus in seek once
Lars really improved as a drummer. But I think I prefer the raw energy here.
@thrasherlml then id like to hear that too , u have a link or something which i could see to see if dave really did the seek chorus ?
thats raw thrash filth right there, wish their later stuff sounded like this.
@ZuBeRCraZyBassY its on youtube. just look up seek and destroy dave mustaine on chorus
Much better than the one on Garage Inc
No lead guitar? Was this after mustaine was fired and they never hired kirk yet? Awesome bass
Mustaine is the only guitar player here. James is only singing on this demo
Thank you two for this question & answer! I was just starting to wonder that. Orange County holy artifact here
Honestly Metallica were already playing this song better than Diamond Head when they were 18.
You are exaggerating, and you know it! To remind you, just listen to this czcams.com/video/ecAdRWqNmCE/video.html
Love both versions being a fan of NWOBHM, I like Metallica thought DH's early albums were awesome. I still spin DH's albums forty years later from when I first heard about them from Kerrang during the early 80s circa 81 to 82
It was my birthday! I was 7 lol
la verdadera cancion es de diamond head
666 views. nice!
Who cares about James, that explosion you hear on lead guitar is obviously Dave Mustaine. He owned Metallica back in those days.
flyers22 he owned them? If Dave owned Metallica, how did he end up booted out by his "own" band, hungover, & on a one way bus out of town back home, just before his "property" signed with a label for it's debut album without him (the so-called "owner")? Dave Mustaine is the sloppiest , random note striking guitarist & an annoying, crying baby. It has been damn near 40 years, he even found his "own" success and still whines like a bitch about it. I got very little respect for him, if any at all....👋💩⬅ "hi, I'm Dave, can I come back to your band, everyone knows I'm a piece of (💩)#2. Please give me what you guys earned without me👶".
😂😂😂😂😂
dude... the mix is better than kill 'em all...the bass is loud enough. they had a different understanding back then i guess. cuz minus the vocals, this is good.
Who is the vocalist???
James
have fun living in yesterday grandpa
Better than today, she male
sounds like my sister singing
It´s probably Dave, or am I right folks? Or is the description right? Have read that Dave used to do the vocals, James didn´t want to sing at start but kinda had to when Mustain left.
Thats what i was thinking
Diamond Head should atleast get some of royalties from Metallica.
They do actually
They do
And also they covered metallicas song no remorse
this sure sounds like Sean Harris from Diamond head - neither JH nor DM....sorry but listen to the original version by diamond head and you'll know
yeah James tied to emulate him in the beginning
LOL! You can hear them failing. 2:48. What the hell! Fail.
This is not like metallica,you can actually hear bass
1987 version is better
hmm..epic fail?
god he was a crap singer back then
+Tyreek Murillo Did you hear the original version??
that's why they looked for a singer and then james improved a lot
