Heavy Pettin – “X-Rated” (official video), via the band’s official YouTube channel.

The official video for “X-Rated” is on Heavy Pettin’s own YouTube channel, so you can watch it above or head to the channel to subscribe. It arrives the day before the Uriah Heep tour begins in the Netherlands.

What is the Heavy Pettin X-Rated video about?

“X-Rated” is a brash, tongue-in-cheek rock ‘n’ roll song, and the video matches it. It features theatrical, circus-inspired elements and mixes raw live footage with behind-the-scenes moments captured on the road, giving fans a look at life on tour with the band. The edit comes from Freakshot Film.

Frontman Stephen “Hamie” Hayman sums up the song’s attitude in typical style: “C’mon be honest… everybody wants to be X-Rated…hell yeah!” He is just as excited about the shows ahead, adding: “The Heavy Pettin, Rock N Roll Circus is BACK…. Rock Generation European Tour 2026!” It is a fitting description of a video that leans so heavily on the big top and the tour bus.

What is on the Heavy Pettin Rock Generation album?

Rock Generation is Heavy Pettin’s first new studio album since 1989, and it is a powerhouse collection of classic rock ‘n’ roll that blends infectious melodies, hard-hitting riffs and anthemic choruses. It was released through Silver Lining Music and is available on vinyl and CD as well as in digital formats. The record moves from the swaggering title track to the Celtic-infused singalong of “Oblivion”, which features guest vocals from Roni Lee, and then on to the raw punch of “X-Rated”.

The full tracklist is:

1. “Rock Generation”
2. “Faith Healer (Kill My Demons)”
3. “Brother Sister”
4. “Oblivion” (featuring Roni Lee)
5. “Mother Earth”
6. “X-Rated”
7. “Bullets And Pills”
8. “Line In The Sand”
9. “Live Ur Best Life”
10. “This Life”

After more than three decades, the album sees the band back where they belong, and it has been well received. Earlier this year the band released the “Faith Healer” video from the same record and headed out on a Scandinavian run with Uriah Heep.

Who are Heavy Pettin?

Heavy Pettin are a Scottish rock band from Glasgow who made their name in the 1980s. Their 1983 debut album, Lettin’ Loose, brought touring slots alongside the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe, and the band seemed destined for the top tier of rock. Then came a hiatus of more than three decades.

The band returned with Rock Generation, which was made in Glasgow and produced by Ciarán O’Shea. The current line-up features founding vocalist Stephen “Hamie” Hayman, guitarists Dave “Davo” Aitken and Richie “St. James” Dews, bassist David “Boycee” Boyce and drummer Mick “The Wizard” Ivory. The record’s sound sits in that glorious slipstream between Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy.

How can I listen to or buy Rock Generation?

You can stream the album on Spotify and the other streaming services, and the band’s official album link will take you to your preferred platform. If you like to own your music, the CD is available from Amazon UK through the box near the top of this article.
