There's a privated video in the Mythos playlist. I wonder what that could be?

12:50, I like how Razor pulled that CD from his waist, like he has a holster, always unstrapped and ready to deal out Heavy Metal Murder at all times. Lol

While I’m a huge fan of Udo and love the tone of early Accept, it’s great to see the guys still rocking and producing quality music with Mark Tonillo. As Razorfist said, we got two great bands out of the schism and one can enjoy both!

The guitar tone on "Balls to the Wall" might be the greatest in all of 80's metal. Absolutely ripping.

Saw Accept open for Ozzy around 1983/84, and they blew Ozzy off the stage. Balls to the wall!

Easily one of the most underrated metal bands of all time. Udo's voice and throat is coated in metal.

The craziest thing about Udo is he sounds EXACTLY the same as he did 40 plus years ago. No metal god - not Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Paul Stanley or even Brian Johnson sound as good as their youth, but Udo is older than all of them and he sill sound identical to the records. He is the best freak of nature ever. See him live, he does not disappoint!

So many hours of my teen years spent walking around town listening to balls to the wall on my Walkman, so many vhs recordings of headbangers ball trying to find that perfect episode where they played the perfect videos before and after balls to the wall so I could watch an unholy trifecta before having to rewind the tape.

Great point about modern Metal production. I absolutely love a big, crisp, expertly hyped modern sound, but the polish, the clarity, and the evenness rob richness and breath. I was just checking out "The World, The Flesh, The Devil" last night by In Solitude and while it's got clear, controlled production, there was a bit of Mercyful Fate/Helloween there and I really liked that. Great update.

I would love to see a Mercyful Fate/King Diamond mythos next

What Accept did,is truly remarkable.They lost their iconic frontman,a death sentence for every band and were pretty much done. Then they return with a new singer,who not only does a fanastic job,singing the old material but also breathed new life into them and they manage to crank out new albums,that are actually quality stuff,like their classic output,plus they kick arse as a live band,playing with more energy,then bands half their age. Seriously,if you have the chance to watch them playing,go for it,they're amazing live. One of the greatest comebacks in rock/metal history,not doubt about it. EDIT: I just read that Peter Bartels left the band,after over 40 years,that is a big blow for Accept,the guy pretty much co-wrote all the classic songs with Wolf and Gabi Hoffman.

I was born in '78 and have memories in the mid 80's being a very young kid in the mall with my Mom, grandma (Yiayia R.I.P.) and brother being bored to death in some clothing store. A TV on the wall had MTV on and some guys banging their head against a building - forcing it to collapse. Even at that young age, I thought it cheesy, funny and awesome at the same time. It left an impression because I never forgot it. In the late 90's I got into Accept while looking for old school metal, but while I knew the music and certainly the song "Balls To the Wall," it wasn't until KZread about 30 years later where I realized as a young kid it was the damn "Balls To the Wall" video I watched that day. Accept fucking rules, love this video. "Starlight" is my favorite Accept song. Udo's vocals and those twin guitars get me every time.

Glad you didn't forget Wolf's wife, Deaffy, the band's primary lyricist since *Balls to the Wall,* also known as Gabby Hauke/Hoffman. "Gaby Hoffmann (née Hauke; born in Berlin, Germany) is primarily known as songwriter under the pseudonym Deaffy and manager for the heavy metal band Accept. She has also contributed cover art concepts, marketing ideas for the band and even stage moves and wardrobe. She is married to their guitarist Wolf Hoffmann."

I learn so much about metal from this man. I ignored metal when it was happening because I didn't understand it at all, now I need it. A wonderful service you have done for us here!

I saw accept in 1983 opening for kiss in New York City's Radio city Musical hall. I was there to see kiss but they blew kiss off the stage and I was shocked to see 50 percent of the crowd in black leather jackets with accept plastered across the shoulder blades and the when they played balls to the wall I felt the music hall shake with the entire crowd singing along and stopping their feet. Unreal, you had to be there. Became my new favorite band that night! Also saw them blow Ronnie James Dio off the stage in Madison Square Garden on the Sacred Hart tour. Udo's voice was like a thunder storm filling the Arena as compared to Dio's light rain shower that was very hollow and could not cut through the huge Arena. Again the opener got the biggest pop of the night with Balls to the Wall. It was awesome to also see them perform heaven is hell in a sold out 20k seat Arena.

I have been educating as many as I can, but you can reach so many more. Real fans of metal know who they are, but many don't. Many are Ozzy, or Maiden, or Priest. But you and I know different.
