awesome 80's band man. It really pisses me off how some people say that 80's metal is dead. When most of it is still better than most of the stuff put out these days. I mean sure, I wasn't even around during the 80's, and I do like alot of new stuff, but I prefer 80's metal to new metal. And if you don't like that, I don't care, kiss my ass. 80's FOREVER!!!

I had to play this song for my mom to hear eventhough the only recording we have is on cassette. It still sounded good and I think she liked this tune. I don't think she knows what he looks like. He's hot and can sing so that's a double plus.

a personal favorite:

I guess the Supreme Court and the government should declare this song as "Unconstitutional" because of the words: "one united world
under God." How true does this song seem now that Osama Bin Ladin won the election in the US.

I know what his real name is. I was only calling him by his socialist name. Retard.

sorry man, i thought you were dissing him

latinmass9000 (1 day ago)
Oh!! But I was. You see, we now have a socialist/terrorist as the 44th President of the US!!!

These guys were the biggest POSERS of that time ... the ass-shaking, the lame, generic guitar solos ... the hair. This was over 20 years ago ... thank god it's history. I have to admit this is a great song though :)

i love white lion btw

this one is kind of a haiku

An awesome song, but lame video. Why are they just running around on stage? This song is about the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior (inwhich someone died trying to stop nuclear testing in the South Pacific). It would have been nice to have something visual in tribute in the video. But its still a great song.

you know it had to do with something by the record company. I'm sure they financed all of White Lion's videos (fake stages/concerts and all), so they got the final say, regardless of the song's original purpose or meaning to the band. A contract is a contract, sadly, and this held true throughout the 80's

Flawless other than the fact that he doesn't sing ( wet on the wheel quite right )
it's ( wet on the whee-ul ) two syllables.

I give it a 9.9

The guitar work here is masterful and clever.

Bach would be proud.

And for that it goes in my favorites.

haha gabbneb otm

An awesome song that is beautifully arranged...

A MAN CANDY SINGER FOR THE LADIES

One of the desks in my 8th grade English classroom had WHITE LOIN carved into it. It was due to poor spelling, not mockery.

There might be World War 3 soon because Russian bombers are landing in South America. Also, Russia has a new weapon called Scalar Weapons and if you Google "Russian Scalar Weapons" you will see hundreds of informative links. This is a Tesla based weapon that moved at the speed of light and can knock-out a nations electrical grid in seconds.

VITO BRRRRRRRAAAATTA

Normally I listen to Death Metal..But I´ve always listened to GOOD music.I still remember the 80´s,and that type of music.I hated it..But as i grow older i listen to a lot of different music, and W.L. have made fantastic songs.And the Guitarplay is outstanding.One more thing.(Mike Tramp on vocals is from my homeland(Denmark)Land of the Vikings.But guys!That Hair!But i forgive u.All other bands, like Poison,Motley Crue,Ratt,etc.who played that kind of music had a Bad hairday every fucking day!!

What the fuck is going on with dude's hips at 2:12 of the "Wait" video

That guitar solo is weird as fuck too.
