Is "Break the Chains" the most hilarious 80's metal track ever?*

Keep in mind, this is NOT a Spinal-Tap cheese-metal parody. This stuff is SERIOUS.

 

Antonkk, this had me laughing pretty good!

At first I thought it WAS a parody because the guy on the left looked a lot like comedian Steven Wright did back then.

 

Hahahaha........

 

C'mon - this has to be a parody!
More. I have to find more from these guys.
Anyone have info?

 

I tried googling them and found a bunch of info on transmission fluid and another band involving a member from Killing Joke.

Still active as of two years ago:

Oh... Trance (mission) I typed in Trans (mission). Wow, they actually had some output. Leave it to those wacky Germans.

 

They were called Trance, formed in 1979 IIRC and released 3 LPs between 1982 and 1985. I have them all on mint original pressings. West German of course! Priceless stuff. In 1989 they changed their name to Trancemission and reformed several times since. Their last album came out last year.

 

I saw on their tour page they played in 2014.
And a poster indicates they opened for Iron Maidnem - a cover band - a few years back.

 

I'd say forget Scoprions and Accept. These guys are ZE true german metal!

 

Well, at least it wasn't a puppet show...

 

That is a good one!!! I assumed by the thread title that it was going to be something by the band Nitro! Awful.....

 

Awful indeed...

 

The beginning acapela part is just so emotional!!! (Sarcasm) Heaven UP, Hell, A thumb down!! but hey we pray to both!.....oddly enough...((Hehehe...evil laugh...)).LMAO

sadly it turns to run of the mill mediocre 80s metal.

 

I honestly can not help to think, if somehow, the Beatles created this song, There would be literally dozens upon dozens of posts praising it, and picking it apart note for note, and how the beatles created Heavy Metal, and the hidden messages and the great production tricks they used.

 

Well, if The Beatles would have recorded this, let's say, in 1968, it would still be an awful song, but it would also be pretty remarkable.

 

So's this - and every bit as laughable. Every bit.

D.D.

 

The singer has a passing resemblance to James Hetfield.

 

Crossed with James Young of Styx.

But somehow when the video first started I knew it was german - the look and the tune just seemed right out of 80s Deutschland to me.

 

It's like they wanted to be New York Dolls but got it all wrong.

 

God, back in the day, I never realized that Talk Dirty To me was a rip of the Doll's Personality Crisis. Actually, that actually makes it a better song than most things in Poison's catalog.

 

Sorry, didn't see your comment. But, great minds think alike, and ours, too.

 

Unfortunately their video came out a week after Dokkens "Breaking The Chains".
