Hey you guys...maybe one of you can help. Every so often a fleeting song pops in my head and this one has me beyond stumped. In the 80s, maybe 83 or 84, MTV was playing this instrumental that was sort of Rush-like. All I can remember of the video was a bunch of guys on stage wearing big giant fake heads. They might have been Japanese. I remember lots of fake lightning too. I've Googled this shit out of it, and all I could find was someone on an 80s forum also looking for the song. Anything? Am I just having a bad acid washed flashback?http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924426#msg-924426Sat, 25 May 2013 21:43:05 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924726#msg-924726 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924726#msg-924726 soldierofthenight NoticeboardThu, 27 Dec 2012 14:57:42 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924539#msg-924539 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924539#msg-924539
I think the band was American but had a few Japanese members.

It's driving me nuts to the point of obsession!]]> ktorster NoticeboardTue, 25 Dec 2012 00:01:30 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924493#msg-924493 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924493#msg-924493Ashes in the Sky by Loudness? Not an instrumental, but the rest kind of matches the description. Can't find the official video, but this is out there:

I have found a couple of other people online that do remember the video but other than something storm related and the giant heads, no one remembers the band or song title.]]> ktorster NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 14:32:48 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924476#msg-924476 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924476#msg-924476 gilmatthews NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 10:30:27 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924448#msg-924448 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924448#msg-924448 ktorster NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 07:15:23 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924432#msg-924432 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924426,924432#msg-924432
