Some say that heavy metal is devil music. Poppycock! Woops, okay, I forgot about this one...…


Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell
And your trip begins

Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires...….

I am he, the bornless one
The fallen angel watching YOU :-(
Babylon, the scarlet whore
I'll infiltrate your gratitude

Don't you dare to save your son
Kill him now and save the young ones
Be the mother of a birth strangled babe
Be the devil's own - Lucifer's my name

Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild - open the seventh seal

I count the heads of those unborn
The accursed ones, I'll find them all
If you die by your own hand
As a suicide you shall be damned

And if you try to save your soul
I will torment you - you shall not grow old
With every second and passing breath
You'll be so alone your soul will bleed to death

Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild - open the seventh seal
Moonchild - you'll be mine soon child
Moonchild - take my hand tonight

The twins they are exhausted
Seven is this night
Gemini is rising
As the red lips kiss to bite

Seven angels, seven demons
Battle for this soul
When Gabriel lies sleeping
This child was born to die

One more dies, one more lives
One baby cries, one mother grieves
For all the sins you will commit
You'll beg forgiveness and none I'll give

A web of fear shall be your coat
To clothe you in the night
A lucky escape for now young man
But I'll see you damned in endless night


Moonchild - Iron Maiden


Don't let silly words frighten you, boys and girls. What can they do to you, other than what you allow? I love this song, not for the words - they mean nothing to me, other than the fact that they are indeed interesting and thought-provoking. I just love it for the groove, nothing more. So put on the helmet and safety belt and let the groove take you for a ride. We are talking about one wild and adventurous ride right straight into downtown Metalville with this one! :-)

She's makin' magic, oh that's what she does
Don't come from below, must come from above
And I know she's cast a spell on me
'Cause when she squeezes my hand it makes me weak in the knee.....


Makin' Magic - Pat Travers


For those of you wild, out of control maniacs out there who like studio recordings better than live, check out the studio version of this tune, then check out the live version from Live - Go For What You Know and see which one ya like better. Fear not, I swear to Rob Halford this is not heavy metal. However, I'll let you in on a little secret - it'll still slam you square on your butt just the same! :-)

Haha, that’s so sweet you even tried to listen to Dido, as she doesn’t seem like something that fits your genre.
Please know I’m not being serious.
I’ve got good buddies who love hard rock and Death Cab For Cutie, another soft band. Heck, I love oldies and alt-rock… but I’m also a sucker for the Black Eyed Peas. I love that about people, you can’t fit us in one genre!

My parents had a ton of records! Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Journey, The Doors… yeah, they had a ton.
Anyway, it’s all good, you don’t have to listen to Dido if you’re not up to it! :)

Wow, Jen, if your parents were into all that stuff you mentioned, then maybe the Grass Roots really are before their time. Maybe they aren't one day older than I am, maybe I am even older than them! Jeez! I really feel like a wrinkly old man now. :-( Oh, well, that's okay. Getting old and fat and gray and wrinkly and worn out is just all part of life. :-)

In the meantime, I still think Embrace the Dork by Stagedork is the most explosive rock and roll album known to man in the whole universe ever since the beginning of time. It makes Priest, Maiden, Anthrax, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies and Pantera combined look and sound like a roomful of sound asleep newborn infants. I'm so glad I introduced them to the world and got them started. Go get 'em, Stagedork! :-)

Well, we're big rock singers
We've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show

We take all kinds of pills that give us all kinds of thrills
But the thrill we never know
Is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone.....


Cover of the Rolling Stone - Dr. Hook


Jen, there is a part to this song where one guy shouts out "Rock and roll!!" and then they explode with an amazing guitar solo. That's exactly what the guitarist from Stagedork makes Eddie Van Halen look like. Check it out sometime if you have never heard it. :-)

Yo, Jen, here is a very tender, romantic love song from Alice Cooper that I bet your parents have held hands to and enjoyed together by the fireplace - if they have one of those. I would write the words down but they choke me up and make me cry. :-(

I mentioned this tune on the "Goosebumps" thread the other day. Rock and roll was never intended to be the most intellectual form of art right from the very beginning, but sometimes here and there, it really does have something worthwhile to say. This one could and should be the song of the 20th century as far as I'm concerned.


Little child
Dry your crying eyes
How can I explain
The fear you feel inside?

'Cause you were born
Into this evil world
Where man is killing man
And no one knows just why

What have we become?
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

Little child
You must show the way
To a better day
For all the young

'Cause you were born
For the world to see
That we all can live
With love and peace

No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
When the children fight
Let them know it ain't right
When the children pray
Let them know the way
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins


When the Children Cry - White Lion

On the other side of the coin, rock and roll also has priceless gems like this one for us to enjoy.....


Now you might take offense
To a word like **** or **** (****!)
But you ****in' don't have the right (****!)
To discriminate me for saying it! :-)

To be honest, sadwings, I think my parents are older than you!
Could anyone foresee the awesome might that Stagedork would bring into the world?!? I heard at their first concert, they literally blew the roof off. That’s why you can only see them in outdoor stadiums.

Ah, yes, I’m positive my parents loved listening to “Street Fight” as they settled down each evening, welcoming its kind melodies and sweet lyrics. :p

Dang, “When the Children Cry”… those lyrics were very profound. I see why you put that on the “goosebumps” thread.

Heheheh, all of the bleeped out lyrics of that made me smile. I swear a lot and can relate to it.

Yeah, Jen, it's a lot more fun to actually listen to that Startin' Up a Posse tune rather than just read the words to it. There is even a video to that thing, which I never even knew existed until I looked it up to play it yesterday.


So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said "Son, son, you've gone too far
'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do"
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Jen, I don't know why, but I just can't imagine you swearing! I'm a biker, it's kinda mandatory, hehehe, so I'm a big ole cusshound, but you're too nice to swear!

I was a bit surprised myself about you saying naughty words, Jen. You stop that! :-p By the way, that White Lion tune is also a pretty cool video.


When people don't know what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you, sweet leaf
OH YEAH, BAYBAY!!

I've heard it called by different names
All over the world, but it's all the same
There's so many ways to make love
A million ways I've been thinkin' of
Oh yeah!

But there's only one way
There's only one way to rock! :-)

Haha! I am a polite person and try not to swear in public, but I do get scolded by my sisters sometimes if I'm too loud.
I worry about swearing here so maybe I overcompensate! :D

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.

Same song. I love that entire album (Fallen), it'd be hard to pick a favourite, but this one is beautiful. Amy Lee has the voice of an angel :-)

If you think I'll stick around
As the world goes by
You're thinking like a fool
'Cause it's a case of do or die

Out there is a fortune
Waiting to be had
You think I'll let it go, you're mad
You've got another thing comin'...…


You've Got Another Thing Comin' - The Priest Beast

A tune that I just discovered today that has been covered by the one and only PAT BOONE along with a bunch of other monster rock and metal tunes. Absolutely unbelievable! PAT BOONE!!
