Okay, so in the mid 80's as a 15-16 year old I was beginning to really get deep into more obscure metal bands. But my access to this stuff was somewhat limited- only so much stuff got around in the midwest in those days. One day, I'm outside in my yard going to get the mail and I find 2 blank cassette tapes on the side of the road. Someone had obviously lost them- my guess it was the older stoner dude that lived down the road from me, probably fell out of his car has he was peeling out in front of my house- which always irked my dad. Anyhow, the tapes had writing on them- one of them was a mixtape of various metal bands that most everyone knew. It was probably a copy of some compilation album of the time. The other one had "Hawaii" written on it. At the time I thought that couldn't be the name of the band. I remember distinctly that the songs on it were just so good. It was something that I hadn't quite heard before. I took it to school to play for my friends, and they loved it too. I remember getting a lot of cred for finding this unknown band- it was like I had made this important discovery. Everyone thought I had access to things they couldn't possibly ever hope to find. The funny thing was, when they asked me who the band was- I would just say Hawaii. But I never really believed that was the name of the band. I really wanted to find out who the band was, but I never figured it out. I didn't want to ask the stoner dude- because I wanted to keep the tape. In my part of the world, these songs never came up again. I only knew them from this mysterious blank tape I found on the side of the road. Until now, 30 something years later- I decided to do a search for "Hawaii the metal band" and immediately I discovered that this was the band all along. And then to find out that Marty Friedman was the guitarist? I'm speechless. Probably close to 30 years since I heard this song again- but I remember it. Doesn't sound as groundbreaking now- but hey, I was 16. Shit, I think I just told my first old man story. Now I'm bummed.

That's an awesome story..!! Just imagine trying to find out who this band that was haunting you all your life was and you became an old man lying on your death bed and finally your oldest son/daughter discovered the band on the tape and told you as you're gasping your last breath and you smiled peacefully drifting into eternal rest.. Wow this could be a movie based on a true story.. do it my friend submit your story and get a movie deal. I would see this movie definitely.. go for it.. I support you.. This is awesome Thank you for sharing my friend.

Wow yes the early eighties, with no internet, you were basically on your own. I stumbled on Hawaii - and had the same incredulity in regards to the band name - one day at a friend of a friend's home.

grajmahal this story kicks ass! Do you still have those tapes? \m/

"If it takes all your life to find happiness then it's so" is a lyric that keeps the human spirit alive. Merci!

Hey I have this record I feel like a teenager again a gazillion thumbs up I believe Marty Friedman is on record

Man. It’s hard to deny how much this reminds me of like a more technically proficient G.I.S.M. I love it.

Oliver, there's actually 5 versions of this song. 1. On "Demo #2 under the band name "Vixen" in 1981, the original cut of it. 2. On "Demo #3 also by Vixen in 1981, the second cut. 3. On the "Made In Hawaii" in 1983, still as Vixen. 4. On "One Nation Underground" in 1983, the first version done under the band name Hawaii. 5. The final version from "Loud, Wild and Heavy" that is posted here. (The version I covered.) Hope this helped. =D

My band also covered this in the late eighties, We opened our shows with it .

@rpcarnell actually, this isnt his first band. His first band was with my dad, it was called "Duece" My dad and him grew up together and they are still in contact to this day. When the first singer of hawaii quit, Marty asked my dad to come to Hawaii to be their lead singer. These are his vocals.

Notice how the time is “4:20”. That sounds like a kind of number that feels important…i can’t remember what it could be…

@nam19771 Look at the description, where I've listed the 3 versions of this song I'm aware of.

Vixen, then recorded again on One Nation Underground, and then here. All three are amazing because it’s one of the best songs ever written.

Wouldn`t think it`s quite the proper name to eclipse Metallica, but... still great sound!

The Vixen (female fronted) version is way better. Kim La Chance on Vocals...
