Manowar's King

I like a lot of different types of music, from chill out to symphonic metal passing trough salsa and all sorts of weird stuff. And, even though I don't like that much "heavy metal", my favourite band of all time is Manowar: the KINGS OF METAL!

I am not entirely sure which is my favourite song, because I love quite a few ... and with every new album they get better and better :-) But there is one that I always like to hear because it inspires me, gives me energy and, in my opinion, has the best "one-liner" ever:
"For Those Who Never Try They Are Sure To Fail" ... think about it ... think about it :-)

Unfortunately the official video is a kind of live recording in a dodgy studio with some ever dodgier girls around ... and the fake smoke, what is that for?!?
So I like the album version better as voice and instruments have better quality ... and there are no dodgy girls, but, who am I to judge the taste in girls from the KINGS OF METAL:
