5.0 out of 5 stars Kicks Serious Hind, September 15, 2000

Why is this quite possibly the best heavy metal record ever made?

1) These guys actually knew how to write songs (you know, with melodies and lyrics and everything) and this set list could serve as their Greatest Hits. Not a dud in the bunch.

2) Precision German engineering. God DAMN this band was tight! Check out the synchronized sixteenth-notes on "Fast as a Shark" and marvel.

3) Udo Dirkschneider made Brian Johnson sound like Lou Rawls. Enough said.

4) Oh hell, it just rocks. Why not buy it right now?

5.0 out of 5 stars Found it 15 Years Later!, April 27, 2005

I have been searching for Accepts Staying a Life 2CD set for the last 15 years!
Unlike the American version the German Import is much better and has an additional 4 tracks on it.
The additional songs that are missing from the American release are:
Head Over Heels
Burning
Neon Nights
Outro (Bound to Fail)
Also the American version is not a 2 CD set.
If you are a hardcore Accept fan, I recommend you buy this 2 CD set before you buy the American version.
May be expensive, but well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is one hell of a live album, July 8, 2005

By 

Mexican Wrestler (Cage Match) - See all my reviews

I give it four stars only because it does not contain the songs "Head Over Heels", "Burning" and "Neon Nights" which appear on the european 2-disc set. But other then that, this is great.

One of the only live albums i listened to on a daily basis, this is how metal should sound live. Udo is simply awesome here, his razor shreiks and yells were probably the roughest vocals you could get in the age before extreme metal (i.e. Thrash, Death, ect). All of the songs are played with amazing energy, these guys were definatly NOT lazy, and did not rest on the laurals of the studio counterparts of these songs unlike what mopst bands did with live records (check out the Scorpions "World Wide Live" album to see what i mean about inferior live songs), in fact these guys actually made their live songs sound better!

The Wolf Hoffmann solo in the middle is breathtaking, along with Vitto Bratta, prehaps the most underrated guitarist alive, now he's a world famous photographer, go figure.

If you have never heard of this band, i would say start with this platter, it gives you the best songs from their four best albums played live. German rock at its finest.
