Wow. Mark Boals, and Doug Aldrich. These are guys with some real Hard Rock history that's probably lost on the average TF fan.

If we're getting more excellent music like Instruments of Destruction (or even just a new version of said track), then I approve wholeheartedly!

We reported a teaser from Ernie Burns back here, in which a new version of the 1986 movie Instruments of Destruction was announced - we now have, thanks to Seibertronian xRotorstormx, the new remastered clip, featuring Doug Aldritch, Mark Boals, Larry Aberman and more. Check out the clip below!
Doug Aldrich – guitar (Whitesnake, Dio, Dead Daisies, Lion), Mark Boals – vocals (Yngwie J. Malmsteen), and Larry Aberman – drums (Jimmy and Stevie Ray Vaughn ‘Family Style’, David Lee Roth) have joined together with Ernie “Burns” Petrangelo (N.R.G.) to release a special 30th anniversary edition of “Instruments Of Destruction” from the original “The Transformers, The Movie” soundtrack.
Transformers Generation One fans will remember that Doug’s band Lion was featured on the original soundtrack released in 1986 performing The Transformers theme song.

Not bad, the beginning needs some work but overall it was pretty good.

I loved Instruments of Destruction but this version seems off in some way...

Always thought it was "Iron Birds of Fortune"
huh.
Wait it WAS. I'm not crazy am I? Like, is it me, or have the lyrics been changed into overtly sexual ones ?
Edit: Oh okay. I looked into it, and itmakes more sense to me now. I still prefer the lyrics of the movie version though.

Dumb that it was the inferior, over sexualized version that they decided to redo rather than the superior and infinitely more popular movie version.

Gotta admit, the changes to the lyrics here do nothing for me and took me quite by surprise! To be expected I suppose. I've been listening to the movie version since it came out!

Other than changing the lyrics, I'm not sure what makes this different than the version on the soundtrack. I'm such a fan of the OST version, this just feels like a bad live recording.

I would like to make note that the lyrics were not changed *technically*
A few years back Ernie was at Botcon selling the NRG2 album with unreleased material from the 80s. This is the original unedited version of Instruments of Destruction and the lyrics were changed for the TFTM (for obvious reason) ..
Hey man it was the 80s!
* If you like hair metal .. I suggest you pick up the NRG2 album if you can still find it.

This is a solid early/mid 80's line up. It's funny, Mark Boals was hired by Yngwie and his first appearance was in the the video for "I'll See The Light Tonight" but he didn't sing the song; it was the original vocalist, Jeff Scott Soto. Lyrics are pure 80's sleaze, never knew it was the original. There might be a copyright issue preventing the use of the original lyrics.
