In my humble opinion Fast as a Shark is probably the best metal song of all time.

The producers of Lords of Chaos seem to agree as it plays in full during that film.

Some great tracks on that record. Udo still sounds great going by a couple of live videos I saw on YouTube so between him and Biff should be a roof raiser

It tends to be be Quo songs - a mixture of original ones and things they have covered from other bands (such as 'Rockin' All Over The World')

But this tour is a part music concert, part spoken word thing
