Russian Oldest Hard Rocker
This one is the oldest heavy metal music lover in Russia. He played heavy metal when even Stalin was alive and you know, heavy metal and all rock’n'roll was banned in Soviet Russia so there were really just a few of them - and he is the only one survived, in Kondopoga city of Karelia, North West Russia.

Heavy metal before 1953 ????
Must be joking, guys
hah its hella tight, in the vid the grandpa apoligizes for poor performance becouse he is celebrating his 70th bithday 7 days in a row, in Russia celebrating means getting drunk ALOT.
German Ferzov you are one heavy dude.
Ozzy Osbourne should tip his hat to you.
Nozdorovye.
i wish there were more people in russia like him. Rock/metal is really dead in russia. This country is very capable of producing great rock music but for some reason it just dosent happen
I listen to ДДТ and others (also I am learning russian) - of course they are not exactly hard rock or even metal, but I like them, they can do some good songs and albums.
DDT is pretty much the only good rock music in russia
Are you joking? DDT has gone, and nothing interesting had been done for last 10 years in rock-music!
“Aria” done it in very much smart style: enjoy it:

And something telling me, that I’ve heard it before. Maybe “Iron Maiden”?
“DDT” has been very cool for that times of 90-s. But today there’s no interest in it. Sorry. If I speak about the hard’n'heavy in Russia i’ll always remind myself “Aria”. “Coliseum” - this song is about the destiny of gladiator.

Бросай ты эти цои всякие, давай метал шпарь!
There IS metal in Russia. Aria for example.
I heard of Aria but i never got around to listening to them.
There is also “Korol’ I Shut”, i like their style.
Just most of the music i hear on tv and radio there is total shit and lately i realized that all that music is a ripoff of European pop
Hey does anyone know any good rock/metal bands in Russia?
You should check for “Mashnin Band”, maybe you’ll like this group.
There are many good rock bands in russia but you can’t hear them on tv or on radio because this music is some kind of underground here. I don’t know why but central channels and main radio stations have some kind of tabu to metal and even rock music. They called it “format”. If you are not in “format” of the channel or radio station your song will never be played here. So we have this POP-shit on every channel.
But maybe this is a common practice?
I think Aria to be the best…
now that’s the REAL rock n’ roll right there.
Хеви Метл во время Сталина, как смешно!
Heavy metal in Stalin’s time, how funny that is!
I bet Stalin sometimes locked himself in his toilet, allowing nobody to interrupt him and there listened to Western “50s heavy metal” music with a little transistor radio on his ear.
They didn’t said about metal stalin. It was a joke of englishrussia. They said he played accordion in 50`s, acoustic guitar in 60`s, electric guitar in 70`s, and addicted to metal in 80`s. It DOES make sence, eh?
Vsjom privjèt!
The fact that Heavy Metal was banned in USSR is a big lie.
Heavy Metal was born in UK in 1969, and not before. I listen to lots of Sovjet Heavy Metal bands of even the early 80’s. The lyrics were sang in Russian. Most of these bands were released from state label Melodia. It’s the most beautyful music I’ve ever heard. But without Internet, it’s impossible to get any information or record of this music, here in the West side. These bands have been playing concerts in the 80’s, all over USSR and other ex-socialist contries of the East Europe that had, at their turn, Heavy Metal bands as well. Visit web site http://www.metalrus.ru , section FAILOVI ARKIV. Downloads of complete records and videos are free.
The West side had always got wrong information about USSR and RUSSIA, by the media.
This is how my grandphater and grandmother lives. They got a pretty small pension, but they live fine (with TV’s and stuff).
how can you even talk of Russian rock music without mentioning kino?
This grandpa tells the story, when some of his students(he gives guitar lessons) says to him ‘I tried to play Tsoy’s music at home’ he says to this student ‘Fuck Kino, come on, bring on some real heavy metal!’
