Alcatrazz - God Blesses Video Lyrics

THIS TOWN IS MINE...IT BELONGS TO ME!!!!

Great! Thanx! @~

Wow...Steve still had a Jackson....

Awesome band! Not big outside of Japan or the US either! No Parole For Rock N Roll is awesome with Bonnet and Malmsteen, Live Sentence is a forgotten gem of a live album and Disturbing the Peace just ramped up proceedings with Vai. Dangerous Games was not so strong an output with Johnson.

71 tone deaf!

Totally class, I've loved this song since 85 when it came out, I was 13 years old, why do I not feel like I want to play 'Contra on the Nes' all I want to do is dig it out my vinyl collection and play it! I have it on vinyl this album

Same here

This was truly the last great era of rock music. Grunge exploded on the scene in 1991 and the songs were all about how much life sucks. The videos had to be equally dark and depressing as well. And rock still hasn't fully recovered.

Minecraft brought me here

link to video.

Such a FREAKING fun video :))))

Rock bien ochentero me encanta la mezcla de riffs y sintetizadores.

MSG sent me here. He sings great.

Today, this video would not seem out of place, but back in the 80's, a lead singer with short hair and glasses was a nail in the coffin. The sound was tremendous, but the visual from the lead vocalist killed it. Now to prove my point, put yourself back to the mid 80's and give David Lee Roth short hair and glasses. See my point?

Just an absolute blast.

Worst song ever

go home then

Who is the guy at the beginning of the video? I forgot his name.

Arie Ribbens on drums...

Contra stage clear music. LUL

2:25 Zach Galifianakis from "the hangover" lol

<3 V ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;DDDDDD

Kickass song! \m/

Tapping at his maximum point ❤

When I first heard this song it was the radio while I was in a high speed boat chase....In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

When I finally beat a level in Contra

Wow! I thought Steve Vai played only in the David Lee Roth's song. When I used to play GTA Vice City I didn't know Vai, Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, etc.

2:26 Zach Galifianakis with the chainsaw!

thanks gta

I bought a vhs of Kerrang Metal Monsters. It's the first time I ever heard of this band and I thought it sucked and was the worst song and video on the VHS. I think it still sucks now hopefully this was just a bad song/video and all their material was not this awful.

V rock
And
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Anymore play this game
Or 2019
😎

This would make me go to church more

https://youtu.be/eB2DePO4jsA Big . Check my tribute https://youtu.be/eB2DePO4jsA :- )

Vice city hotring event

Steve Vai knows how awesome he is...

Great song. Say, hell of s song, really!

You ain't seen nothing yet hahaha!

Grahm Bonnet = POWER HOUSE METAL VOCALS. For a guy who looks like he should be singing in a pop band, he did Metal/Hard Rock justice. Awesome range, awesome power also (interestingly) cool style

Best song

For years, I thought he was saying "cover my head" at 2:25.

God blessed Vai

well it has been said but that contra music is so prevalent you cant miss it

やっぱスティーブヴァイだな❗

This is only for little children to listen

love this song!

Man, it was a delight watching and listening to this video, so fun...

Great song, terrible video

"My X-100Bs Scream"

Yngwie is so hitting on this, the rest is okay but he did add flavor to this song.

Contra anyone?

i got a first air ad during the storm at the start

This is not Metal. Put on track 1 of Screaming for Vengeance for 1982 real Metal, not this pop Bull Shit.

2:00 bruce dickinson? Xd

God bless cocaine

Underated

Contra.

The whole thing with the devil and angel guy is really fucking lame, otherwise cool video. Vai's huge wall of Carvin amps is awesome.

Thank you razorfist

Every time I see this I remember....

Yngwie walked out on the band, then laughed when Bonnet said they'd go on without him, and bragged "Ha! How could they possibly replace me?"

Then this video came out, and guitar players all over the world laughed and laughed just imagining the look on Malmsteen's face listening to Steve Vai play. It's STILL funny!

Loren Sanders Malsteem is lord!!

MALMSTEEN > vai

Alcatrazz songs with Yngwie are way better.

Yngwie was the one that suggested Vai to join the band. Cool story though bro.lol

God bless Vice City!!!

wonder if vai might ever do a Alcatraz reunion....

Steve Vai very very young

THIS ENTIRE ALBUM IS A UNIQUE ART-POP-METAL HIT MACHINE.

awesome

Que solo de guitarra mais fodástico...belíssimo...

One more reason to become atheist :))

How some people thinks this is Metal.

Bonnett's got the best pipes in the business since Rob Halford.

which god?

No Parole from Rock 'n' Roll = Yngwie's Album
Disturbing the Peace = Steve Vai's Album

Very true

Is that Arie Ribbens on drums? ;)

Mierda, estaba buscando temas random de gta y me encuentro con uno de los mejores

How about some love for Fraiser Smith

bornbrit777 yeah, he was way underrated.

This isn't bad, but the concert video from this tour is fucking EPIC.

I have a song book of Steve. He said he stole the masters and hopes to re-release this. This is 1 of my all time fave albums

YES! I'm a huge musicologist and know zillions of bands none of my friends ever heard of... and this is one of the ONLY Vai records I like (Flexible is also great).... and it's a totally UNIQUE Pop Metal album. Sounds like no other album ever, which is pretty remarkable.

And such STRONG tunes!!!


It angers me that this album is still unknown.

gta vice city :D

classic..... i listen this song in vice city mainland back in the 2004 :)

Gta vice vity es lo mejor

I'll be at Ricardo Diaz's mansion on Starfish Island if anyone needs me.

So you are the men with the big cojones?

Vercetti estate*

discovered this video and group on classic mtv,not too shabby

Steve Mandl New mtv isn't even doing what it stands for!

that's true,too.theyre not

Steve Mandl You were born in a lucky generation, this gen crappy music make cents but no sense.

Fun. God bless ya

he may not have long hair but his voice is amazing

He was called the James Dean of Rock

graham bonnet is a very underrated singer.

I'd like to see you play guitar better than Vai. Oh wait you're just an angry troll who probably doesn't even know how to play a simple scale or a chord.

Slime Shady EXACTLY! !!!!!

up, up, down, down,left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.............YES! it worked..

shite video for a great song..................................................

Don Kiddick its classic 80s cheese

I can't get enough of this song

The best song of Vice City Vrock xD

Still incredible ! Bonnets vocals , Vai's guitar ! They don't make great music like this anymore !

Why do I have the sudden urge to play Contra on the NES?

Same lol. Can definitely see where konami got the inspiration for their end of level ditty.

+Various Topics I've been studying Yingwie and Gen Axe and I've been hearing the basement music from Zelda and also the soundtrack from Castlevania. Great stuff!!

The beginning part definitely sounds like stage clear from Contra!

I play Yngwie's Alchemy album while playing the Original DOOM I save this for stuff like Contra

Got this vinyl album for $1 somewhere-what a deal!

+Nostradamus Daley Got the cassette when this came out ! In fact I still have the same one but I have the cd now ! Had'nt heard anything about them but I saw the cassette in new releases and I said what the heck ill buy and 30+ years later its still my greatest buy on a whim I ever did ! when I bought it I turned 50 of my friends into huge fans of theirs !

Mike Thaxton the band is sadly not around anymore

Adam Niccum Graham Bonnet Band

Nostradamus Daley same here. But in Japan it was a great find

God Blessed the Video Star

This song isn't long enough.

steve vai youth years ~~

+傅悄然 His best years

+傅悄然 Youth Years???

@Wardell Brown​ He was at his best in Alcatrazz and i have no idea why my computer is doing that !!

+Mike Thaxton
His first solo album, Flex-able was not as Poppy as Alcatrazz and Frankly speaking, quite awesome. From jamming with Zappa until I saw Generation Axe just over a week ago, I've yet to hear him play anything badly, including the David Lee Roth Band and White Snake which were also Poppy or should I say Strictly Commercial! I think his best stuff are his Solo Albums where he has sole control and not under the pressure of an arrogant producer or the current trend of Pop Music.
The Live concert video "Where the Wild Thing go" is simply an awesome group of players that are not tied to an MTV format or how many records do I need to sell. Wide open Reckless Abandon, Real Music.

@Wardell Brown Naw for me its Alcatrazz period ! 

Vice City's Hyman Stadium race track!

+SuperDuper Nick Do the godfather trophy first!

+DerKleineKastenYT on ps2 I got 100% and maxed out my cash using the tank/police mission.....twice. I used to could get all the hidden packages without a map. That used to be my life lol

"Hymen Memorial Stadium". That's such a dirty joke XD

flying the plane and dropping the flyers misson..

Jane Lane
Porn Studio Mission 😈

These guys kick ass!

God Blessed Video.
Steve Vai blessed the Guitar.
Graham Bonnet blessed the Mic.
By God, this song is AWESOME.

Natendowii Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo blessed bass and keys.

@Obi-Wan Kenobi the ENTIRE ALBUM is great.


unique pop metal!

I've had it stuck in my head since 1985, dude.

Incredible singer & guitarist ....i love this album

Dafuq?? acabo de ver a Steve Vai ahí y el otro parecia MAB, genial, casi me da un infarto..!!

I just have to have Alcatrazz (especially God Blessed Video) every time I'm about to face a gym leader or elite 4 - for me, nothing better than Metal & Pokemon.
Love the Solo's!! especially when I'm about to encounter dragons.

The drummer looks like Jeff Lynne!

The intro sounds like the theme in Contra

@Bazowat the one which plays after clearing a stage.

Ha ha I always thought that too, clear stage.
