This week i've slotted out a couple of NWOBHM reviews, and a couple heavy ones for good measure. first up is Streetfighter 's Crazy Dream (EP), a NWOBHM offering let down with a lame title track. Up next is Welsh NWOBHMers Y Diawled's first single . Another NWOBHM review is for Stormtrooper's Pride Before a Fall single - an early (1980) release showing professionalism and promise. Next up is Glam/NWOBHM act Touched's 2nd album - Deathrow - a rather poor follow up to their decent debut. The last NWOBHMer is the excellent Tysondog single Eat The Rich. My final review was for US power/heavy metal band Wyzard.

to read any of the reviews, simply type Deathriderdoom into the search bar on http://www.metal-archives.com/ , and then select "User" from the drop down menu. avaiable will be all the reviews listed in my previous journal entry. Hope they are of use or enjoyable, and remember to get writing yourself! Heavy Metal Thunder

Newest approved album reviews as of 17/06/09

Hi there folks, just a quick update of my newest reviews up on MA. My two newest include Welsh NWOBHMers Stormqueen's 1980 debut demo - released independently the same year as NWOBHM juggernauts Angel Witch Iron Maiden and Def Leppard released their debuts. A killer NWOBHM offering, somewhat simlar to Angel Witch's sound. The second one is for little known AOR/NWOBHM act Clientelle's 1985 demo. These guys were a unique sounding NWOBHM act out of Hatfield, Hertfordshire, who were unable to achieve much succes, with their only full-length failing to get them much attention, in the at the time overflowing NWOBHM market. This demo was their last attempt at securing a record deal, but sadly was unsuccessful. Anyway, hope the reviews are helpful, and as always, you can post feedback about em here i guess. NWOBHM forever.

Couple of my Latest Reviews

Today i have i couple more for ya. A review of US metal band Ded Engine's 1983 debut single. These guys sound similar to an early Armored Saint, though not as good. a grimy, but rather dull offering. Next up is a review for two tracks from Krokus' most AC/DC sounding album yet - One Vice at a Time from the single Long Stick Goes Boom a strong, yet overly ACDC sounding outing. The final one is an depth look at The follow-up album to Krokus' landmark 1983 offering Headhunter, the album The Blitz, released in 1984. This album marks a departure from the heavy, speed metal approach taken on Headhunter, to more of a pop-orientated sound - incredibly polished and well written album. Last up is a review for the legendary Jack Starr's 80's melodic heavy metal act Burning Starr. The album in question is their solid, and Scorpionsesque debut Rock The American Way. well worth a listen if you're into the melodic stuff.


well, hope you give em a read, and perhaps even get inspired to write your own. and long live heavy metal!


More NWOBHM reviews - get some new bands!

Dragster, not to be confuse with the gay punk, and pop rock acts of the same name, were an unknown NWOBHM act that took the same approach to the genre as bands like Saxon, with heavy sounding guitars and drums, mixed with a focus on catchy and melodic choruses. Their best of album was issued in 1999 and contains all of their known material - a good choice if you like finding new NWOBHM acts. the review is available on their page on www.www.metal-archives.com

Legendary British speed metallers Tröjan releases a string of demos, which finally resulted in a full-length official offering in 1985. The album Chasing The Storm is an excllent blend of NWOBHM chorus focused melodies, and thrilling speed metal aggression. This one is often regarded as a hidden gem of mid 80's metal. check out the review, which should be up shortly - at http://www.metal-archives.com and remember - metal will never die!


Newest reviews:



Riot is a legendary and pioneering early metal band. They evolved from one of the hardest, fastest bands of the 70's into speed/power metal gods in the 1980s. Often revered for their 1987 albumThundersteel this band had a string of great earlier works. no better sampling of their earlier work is available than their 1982 single "Outlaw". Check it out and youll be hooked. Review is up on metal-archives.

Rhabstallion has to be the most awesome completely unknown NWOBHM act ever. a review of their excellent 1994 re-release of 80's material is up on MA. Amazing album. Another NWOBHM review this week is on Savage's single "Ain't No Fit Place" - two cuts from their legendary and critically acclaimed Loose 'n' Lethal. Great, heavy NWOBHM

On another note; Tyga Myra was another Brtish speed metal band. They formed during end of the NWOBHM period and released only one full-length. A review is available on MA

This Weeks Album Reviews, Let's Go

i've been meaning to review London's More for a while. Catchy tunes here from the debut album of one of the "more" succesful NWOBHM acts (for a period). More were snapped up by Atlantic Records - and it shows with this interesting blend of poppy melody, and heaviness. Warhead is a fun, recommendable NWOBHM outing.

In additon, i've also taken the time to review W.A.S.P.'s classic VHS offering "Videos...In the Raw" - an excellent, and totally fun collection of interviews, clips and live footage released in the late 80's. check it out.

Saracen is an amazing unique nwobhm band which combines elements of 70's early heavy metal and doom, progressive rock like Pink Floyd and other influences to craft en epic, power metallic tinged nwobhm/rock sound. their debut album is a masterpiece. check out the review on http://www.metal-archives.com/ for more!

a couple more for you NWOBHM fans:

Jaguar is a melodic rock/NWOBHM band with some similarity to American 80's AOR acts like Night Rangerconey hatch etc. their 2nd album is awesome if you like AOR - well written, besting many bands that attempted the style.

Legendary NWOBHMers Tokyo Blade are still regarded as one of the best NWOBHM acts ever to appear in the 80's. Their breakthrough single Powergame hailed them in as one of the most energetic, guitar driven bands of the time. If you like Iron Maidenish riffage in your NWOBHM - check out their early works.

Maxx Warrior were an unknown heavy/glam metal band active in the mid 80's. Their only release to date -a self titled EP (1986) is an awesome blend of fast enbergetic mid 80's metal and early 80's Motely Crue/LA Glam sound. Think Shout at the Devil, or Too Fast For Love.

geez, i haven't updated this in a wee while, but hewre goes: Saxon's offerings after their early 80's hayday, but before their awesome resurgence post-2000 are often overlooked. we must remember though, that Saxon is an unstoppable juggernaut that will not relent. During their middle period, they continued to put out quality. 1992's Forever Free is a solid offering with an awesome title track. the review is available on http://www.metal-archives.com/

Damascus was the name of 2 NWOBHM bands. the one from Liverpool released a nice little EP in 1984 titled Open Your Eyes. This EP was rich in 70's influences like Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep etc, and centred around a very strong, driving title track. a NWOBHM outing worth a listen.

This week i also have a series of reviews up for obscure NWOBHM singles. These include offerings from bands such as Driveshaft, china doll, Demon Pact and others. Check these out if you're after some more classic NWOBHM.

Gaskin were a softer edged, rock band that were part of the NWOBHM in the early/mid 80's. Ive had their release No Way Out for quite some time and decided to get a review up. Their sound is an interesting mix of classic NWOBHM, with a Whitesnake sorta feel at times.

This Week's Reviews-----

To kick things off this week, we head to Wales, where NWOBHM act Tredegar hailed from. Though they only released one full length, they aslo recorded another, which was unreleased (1991). Their 1994 best of disc includes both full-lengths and all recorded materials. read the review on the band's page at http://www.metal-archives.com/

Exises were a dutch heavy/progressive metal band formed in 1984. Their self titled release came out in 1987. It has a sound with some similarity to M.A.R.S., Leatherwolf, or classic Queensryche - though perhaps not quite as arresting as the aforementioned bands.

Roxcity, the shortlived Canadian AOR band released only one EP before dismantling. It has a sound with elements similar to Boston,Coney Hatch,Night Ranger at times, though not as majestic and powerful as these acts. howeve, the EP is worth a listen, if only for the track, "Night Child in the Sky"

Keep an eye out for more extremely obscure NWOBHM single reviews continuing my growing series in this vein. next up will be a review of the band Cryer, which later changed their name to Force(UK). Find the reviews on http://www.metal-archives.com/

I have also done breif, simple review of Kuni's debut album Masque - a powerful album that matches the virtousic skill of Kuni (he's similar to a Japanese Vinnie Moore,Paul Gilbert or Micheal Angelo Batio) with a sound that sometimes approaches Zar,DokkenRacer X, or even Riot. a great debut album really worth checking out if you like 80's melodic heavy metal.

Presence was a melodic heavy metal/hard rock band from France in the 1980's. Their only album was Rock Your Life. An interesting sound is evidenced; pieces of Danger Danger,Night Ranger,Dokken,Fisc and others could be found in their sound for comparison. The review can be found on the bands page on http://www.metal-archives.com/

This Weeks Reviews 6 July 2009

My first review for this week is a quick despcriptive write up of Spanish band Panzer's sophomore album. This early/mid 80's offering sounds very much steeped in NWOBHM, with many of the classic Spanish elements added into the mix. A decent bands that holds its own aongside Ñu and Barón Rojo.



This Weeks Reviews 13 July 2009

Colombian 80's rockers Carbure and titans of powerthrash Fatal Violence, with their excellent Best Of album.

I have finally got round to writing a review of NWOBHM/Prog rockers Saracen's sophomore full length album, titled Change Of Heart. In this album they shorten the songs a bit, but still deliver a strong mix of various influences and brilliant song writing. The review is available on metal archives.

November, 2009

My latest review is a quick, shoddy description of epic Canadian power metal band Icewind's only full length offering. it can be found on the band's page on MA




Friday, 20 November, 2009

Wednesday, 25 November, 2009

4th place in MA review comp. will still continue to review obscure albums. speed metal fans who haven't heard of Finnish band Loud Crowd would be well advised to read my review of their album Guardians available on www.metal-archives.com/review.php?id=29240

You might disagree on some bands as they're not glam or sleaze in your opinion but I think they fit just damn good!

Glam metal (also known as pop metal, hair metal) is a term used to describe the visual style of certain heavy metal music bands that arose in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States. It was popular throughout the 1980s and briefly in the early 1990s, combining the flamboyant look of glam rock and playing a power-chord based hard rock musical style.

Iron Maiden / The Number of the Beast / The Number of the Beast (5) / Mar 1982

sablespecter's Album of the Year for 1982 (RDF: 87.5%)

Well, this is where it all started for me! That's in terms of concerts and my Maiden obsession. When I saw them open for Scorpions at my first concert it was a bit frightening and thrilling at the same time. I won't claim to have a photographic memory of it nor can I remember everything they played since I didn't even know who they were at that point, but I do remember being especially enthralled when they played today's selection. With that forboding intro and that line, "six-six-six! The one for you and me!" I couldn't wait to get ahold of this. And I've never looked back. I still have every copy of this album that I have purchased over the years, even including the totally worn-out, squeally cassette that never left my car for so many years.

The only track that I never got into all that much is the album opener, Invaders. They've only played that track live once ever, I believe, so it's not a broad fan favorite either.

Over all the years of buying CDs, I have only ever purchased two CD singles. Both of them by Maiden and one of them being the 2005 special edition of the single for today's track (the other to be revealed some other time!)

I highly recommend the NotB edition of the Classics Albums series for a very good look at the making of the album. Then follow it up with your own viewing of Damien: Omen II and see if you get a similar dream of your own!

--------
Rounding out the Top Five of 1982 (in order of descending RDF):

Judas Priest: Screaming for Vengeance (80% RDF): And with this began the constant question than ran in all the metal rags in the mid-80s that asked some sort of variation of, "Who rules metal? Maiden or Priest?" As if it was some sort of competition to "win." However, these two classics - which are probably the two albums that brought the two bands their most "mainstream" attention - are two different inflection points. For Maiden, their 1982 album was the one that started their upward trajectory to massive worldwide success, while for Priest it was downhill afterward. So while the two bands were somewhat contemporaries, Priest had achieved most of their best work before this point, while for Maiden it was just beginning. So if you think it was a competition to be won, it would depend on how you define the winner, I guess. If it was having a huge body of classic metal work, it would have been Priest. But as the 80s went on, it would have been Maiden if you define it in terms of massive worldwide fandom.

Asia: Asia (78% RDF): I see looking at the SotD archives that I have never chosen a song from this. I just don't listen to it as much as I did in past years, but still enjoy a full seven of nine tracks. This was the first album that I bought with my own money, during the spring of sixth grade, but it doesn't sound dated to me. Off the top of my head I wouldn't have thought it would make it into the Top 5 of 1982, but when I went back and reviewed the collection during the process of writing these up, that's indeed how it turned out. It has aged well!

Scorpions: Blackout (78% RDF): THIS was who and why I went to that concert in the late summer of 1982. The album had already gone gold by that point and was in heavy rotation in my own collection during that summer of 1982. Favorite song is not the title track of most-often-played "No One Like You" but the lesser played "You Give Me All I Need." One of my favorites in their entire catalog and a song I never skip.

Dire Straits: Love Over Gold (80% RDF): This one manages to sneak past some others on the strength of only four songs, but that's out of five and they actually account for 86% of the album length. It's kind of a short album but opens with my favorite Dire Straits track, and "Private Investigations" is an outstanding smoky, film-noir-on-vinyl!

Honorable Mentions (in not-entirely-correct alphabetical order by band/artist name):
Accept: Restless and Wild
Billy Squier: Emotions in Motion
Eddie Money: No Control
Fleetwood Mac: Mirage
John Cougar: American Fool
Krokus: One Vice at a Time
Michael Jackson: Thriller
Motörhead: Iron Fist
Night Ranger: Dawn Patrol
Robert Plant: Pictures at Eleven
Rush: Signals
Sammy Hagar: Three Lock Box
The Steve Miller Band: Abracadabra
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Long After Dark
Tygers of Pan Tang: Crazy Nights
Uriah Heep: Abominog
Whitesnake: Saints & Sinners

Zinatra - The Great Escape - CD

This summer, I will go to Los Angeles to see my baby Laine, to Singapore to meet Tina and to Bangkok just for the heck of it. Of course, going so far for so long needs a lot of consideration about which songs to feed your MP3 Player with. Here's what I collected for now:

The Ataris - Takeoffs and Landings
If you could go anywhere right now,
Where would you go?
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Boys Like Girls - Thunder
Today, is a winding road
It's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Ooo-whoa oh (Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh...)

Your voice...was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder and I said
Your eyes...are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder

The Click Five - Catch Your Wave
Hey girl,I wanna catch your wave
Hey girl,I wanna drift away with you
Hey girl,you've got an undertow
Hey girl,hey girl, don't wanna let you go

Justin Timberlake - Summer Love

Relient K - Be My Escape
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you,
I'm begging you,
I'm begging you to be my escape

Randy Newman - I Love L.A.
Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more

>From the South Bay to the Valley
>From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)

Tupac - California Love
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
the state where ya never find a dance floor empty

The Dresden Dolls - Shores of California

Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight

3 Doors Down - Landing In London
And all these days I spend away
I’ll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it’s all too much to bear

And when the night falls in around me
And I don’t think I’ll make it through
I’ll use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you

The Box Tops - The Letter
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.

Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
my baby just wrote me a letter.

I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
Got to get back to my baby again,
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
my baby just wrote me a letter.

In Extremo - Singapur
Die alte Heimat ist fern von hier
Nur ihre Narben die blieben mir
Wenn Wellen meine Spuren lecken
Will ich das Salz des Windes schmecken

Bin vogelfrei, weit von daheim
Ein jeder Ort wird wohl besser sein
Hab aufgebaut und reiße ein
Der Große Sturm soll meiner sein

Die fernen Töne treiben mich
Wie die Motte in das Licht
Werd meine Seele tief ergründen
Und ich weiß ich werd mich finden

Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

Metallica - Carpe Diem Baby
Live, win, dare, fail
Eat the dirt and bite the nail

So wash your face away with dirt
It don't feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come Carpe Diem baby, yeah...

Schandmaul - Willst du
Weiß nicht genau wann es passierte
Ein unbeschreiblicher Moment
Ich sah Dich an und in mir rührte
Sich ein Gefühl, das brennt

Hielt mich fortan in Deiner Nähe
War stets bei Dir, wenn Unheil droht
Verscheuchte Schatten und Probleme
Hielt Wacht bis ins Morgenrot

So ging es über viele Jahre
In mir der Sturm schon schmerzhaft tobt
Schließ Dich im Traum in meine Arme
Während ich Dir Treue gelob

The Beach Boys - California Girls
I've been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world

Oasis - Wonderwall
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Janis Joplin - Leaving On A Jet Plane
All my bags are packed down
i'm ready to go,
i'm standing here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking,
it's early morn
the taxi's waiting,
he's blow his horn
already i'm so lonesome i could die

So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe, i hate to go

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
Well I must be travellin' on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Bye, bye baby it's been sweet love, yeah,
Though this feeling I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
'Cause the Lord knows I'm to blame
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

HammerFall - Always Will Be
You were the wind beneath my wings,
taught me how to fly
With you I lived among the kings,

When I turn to the east, I see no dawn,
but after darkness comes the light
And when I turn to the west, the silent night hides all
Where is the light that shines so bright

So I say farewell, I'm yours forever
And I Always Will Be
Missing you, in my heart you are The One
And you Always Will Be

Jack's Mannequin - Rescued
And don't you think I wish that I could stay?
Your lips give you away

I can hear it
A jet engine through the center of the storm
And I'm thinkin' I'd
Prefer not to be rescued

Two to none, roads that lead away from this, I'm
Followin' myself just this once
And I got spun, it appears you're spun as well
It happens when you pay attention

Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine
I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that its true
And I don't want to spend all my life , just in waiting for you
Now I don't want u back for the weekend
Not back for a day , no no no
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

Roxette - Fingertips
Then she runs her fingertips through your hair
Your life has just begun
Her fingers, they are everywhere
You're floating light like air, leaving the ground
and she shines on just like the sun

You're gazing at the sky, o my
The stars are out tonight, shining bright
You're waving to a cloud, bye-bye
You're drowning in the smile of his eyes
Suddenly you feel like there's no time for a deal
though a voice tells you it's for real

Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Falco - America
America, wenns ihr ma glaubads, wia ma euch vermissen kann

Cinderella - The Last Mile
And walk the last mile
Before I sleep
It'll be a while
Before I get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears

I guess I've always been a travelin' man
Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand

Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over

It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care

Golden Earring - Radar Love
When she's lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called:
Radar love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on strong"
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort
Coming in from above
Don't need no letters at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar love

In Extremo - Auf's Leben
Von deiner Jugend möchte ich trinken
Nur einen Schluck, der mich vergessen lässt
Beim Abschied an den Anfang denken
Bevor Erinnerung daran verblasst

Mit deiner Unschuld möchte ich leben
Im Hier und Jetzt und einfach immerfort
Dein Herzschlag lässt den Puls mir beben
Und schon zieht mich der nächste Tagtraum fort

Night Ranger - Big Life
I get this feeling
That I'm about to win it all
(And I'll take it all)
I'm so excited
All this here writin' on the wall
(And I love it all)

I'll take my money
And I'll buy myself a car
I'll grab my girlfriend
And I'll drive her to the stars
Well that might not be my heaven
But it's close enough to call it
Big Life
It's what you make it, what you make it

In Extremo - En Esta Noche
Una bonita hembra me ha mordido
Con sus garras me ha clavado
En una noche caliente de verano
Me has vuelto loco
Como gladiadores hemos luchado
El perro callejero me ha vencido

En esta noche
Las llamas se han encendido
Me has robado el sueño
Tienes el poder sobre mi

Nazareth - This Flight Tonight
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere any little lights shine
Blackness, blackness draggin' me down
Come on light a candle in this heart of mine

Starbright, starbright, you've got the lovin' that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight

I'm drinkin' sweet champagne got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind

me and my girl and my board - Waves won't wait

Black Sabbath - Get a Grip
Just because I like the sound

Steely Dan - Peg
I like your picture
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
And when you smile for the camera
I know I'll love you better

The Bloodhound Gang - I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks
I just wish I was queer so I could get
Chicks dig guys that are
Queer guys that don't dig
Chicks that don't dig guys like me
See I'm not queer I'm too ugly
But if I were handsome just imagine how great it would be
Incognito as gay though but not actually that way though pseudo homo phony
Maybe it's a stupid theory or maybe just stupidity
But if I was a queerbee in the fashion industry
Scoring with a super model would be easy

Ronnie Hawkins - My Gal Is Red Hot

Whitesnake - Slow An' Easy
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before

My heart is beating faster, babe
It's beating like a big bass drum
You know you got me speeding, child
Faster than a bullet from a gun
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind
Aan' I don't care

So take me down slow an' easy
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble


Is coming my way
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
Rock me 'til I'm burned... to the bone

The Monkees - I'm A Believer
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Oh love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Monster Magnet - Hotel Baby
Come on down to the hotel baby
I can be what you want me to be
You can choke on your own medication
I can watch myself on T.V.
Whoa yeah!

Rascal Flatts - Life Is A Highway
Life's like a road that you travel on
There's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man

Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles
Because it is like that =P

David Lee Roth - Yankee Rose
She's a vision from coast to coast, (coast to coast)
sea to shining sea. (sea to shining sea)
Hey, sister, you're perfect host. (Make a toast)

Show me your bright lights and your city lights (eh oh), all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose.
Bright lights in your city lights (eh oh), all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout it.

J.B.O. - Ich möcht' so gerne Metal hör'n
Because I like it

AC/DC - Girl's Got Rhythm
I've been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got
She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street
Wearin' dresses too tight
And lookin' dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No doubt about it, can't live without it

Bruce Springsteen - Atlantic City
Well now, evrything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe evrything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

The Beatles - From Me to You
If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.

I've got everything that you want,
Like a heart that is oh, so true.
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
I got arms that long to hold you
And keep you by my side.
I got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied, oooh.

Frank Sinatra - Love Has Been Good To Me
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me

Frank Sinatra - L.A. Is My Lady
The music she moves to, is music that makes me a dancer
I brought her my wildest of dreams, and she came up with the answer
I leave behind a part of myself, whenever I leave her
But oh, when I'm back in her arms
She smiles and then - I am home again

Edguy - Navigator
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and he fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return

Well, I've walked two hundred miles, look me over
Its the end of the chase and the moon is high
It won't matter who loves who
You'll love me or I'll love you

In Extremo - Neues Glück
Neues Glück liegt auf den Wegen
Die Welt ist groß und sie ist mein
Alte Träume, die brach gelegen
Ich lass die Sorgen Sorgen sein

Neue Städtchen, andere Mädchen
Es steht nie still, das Rädchen
Einerlei an welchem Ort
Einfach von zu Hause fort

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down
My hopes are so high
That your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me
So I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst
To break or bury
Or wear as jewelry
Whichever you prefer

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
It's the edge of the world in all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east, at least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells californication

California here we come!

My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
