Bang your head

Quiet Riot

Well I'm an axegrinder Piledriver

Mother says that I never never mind her

Got no brains I'm insane

Teacher says that I'm one big pain

I'm like a laser 6-streamin' razor

I got a mouth like an alligator

I want it louder

More power

I'm gonna rock ya till it strikes the hour

CHORUS 1:

Bang your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad

Band your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad

Well I'm remonstrated

Outdated I really want to be over-rated

I'm a finder and I'm a keeper

I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper

I got the boys to make the noise

Won't ever let up

Hope it annoys you

Join the pack

Fill the crack

Well now you're here

There's no way back

Bang your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad

Bang your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad

Metal Health'll cure your crazy

Metal Health'll cure your mad

Metal Health is what we all need

It's what you have to have

[solo]

Bang your head

Wake the dead

We're all metal mad

It's all you have

So bang your head

And raise the dead

Oh yeah!

Metal Health

It's not too bad

Bad Bad

CHORUS:

Oh get your straight-jackets on tonight Oh

Bang your head! Metal health'll drive you mad

The bad boys are gonna set you right Rock on Rock on Rock on

Bang your head! Metal health'll drive you mad

Bang your head!

R.I.P. Kevin Dubrow

1955-2007

Even though you once hit on my ex girlfriend 14 years ago when she worked as a desk clerk at a hotel you were staying at whilst playing a bar

Perhaps I should have thanked him. Too bad he wasn't better looking, she may have ran off with him. Hahahaha

Always forgiven :D

Did I post this one before? I can't rember but it's a good code to live by

REO Speedwagon - Live every Moment

Live every moment - love every day

'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

Live every moment - love every day

'Cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.

I walked for seven miles this mornin'. Footprints in the sand.

Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.

But I will walk on 'til I can no longer stand.

I'll take you by the hand and we'll...

Live every moment - love every day

'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

There's water in the wind tonight.

There's a chill in the air.

It's coolin' down my skin tonight

Soakin' through your hair.

There's warmth enough within' tonight

for both of us to share.

We can take it anywhere. And we'll...

Live every moment - love every day

'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.

Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.

I will search for that place but 'til I

find it all I can say is...

Live every moment - and love every day

50 ways to leave your lover

Paul Simon

"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me

The answer is easy if you take it logically

I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit to intrude

Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued

But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

Ooo slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just listen to me

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain

I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again

I said I appreciate that and would you please explain

About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight

And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light

And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just listen to me

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

Land of Confusion

Genesis

I mustve dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

Theyre moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today

They say the dangers gone away

But I can see the fires still alight

There burning into the night.

Theres too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Cant you see

This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands were given

Use them and lets start trying

To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh superman where are you now

When everythings gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, the men of power

Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time

This is the place

So we look for the future

But theres not much love to go round

Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands were given

Use them and lets start trying

To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -

Ooh when the sun was shining

Yes and the stars were bright

All through the night

And the sound of your laughter

As I held you tight

So long ago -

I wont be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

Were not just making promises

That we know, well never keep.

Too many men

Theres too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Cant you see

This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in

And these are the hands were given

Use them and lets start trying

To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in

And these are the names were given

Stand up and lets start showing

Just where our lives are going to.

That week you put up the disturbed version of this I was thinking about posting this. This old vid is crazy. I remember it on MTV in 80's when I was a teen. Ends with Ronnie (Big Government) Reagan pushing THE button at the end. Good song.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MzShg7yXik]YouTube - Land Of Confusion - Genesis[/ame]

Hahahahaha.. I haven't seen this vid in over 20 years. I think it gave me nightmares as a kid.

I always liked the song and the video. It's amazing how relevant it was when it was made by Genesis relating to the cold war and now it's just as relevant by disturbed in relation to the war on terrorism and how world politics are today. 20 years later.

No doubt. The more things change the more they stay the same. Cept MTV seems to have everything but videos anymore. Censorship? :rolleyes:

I like the monkey. The "Bedtime for Bonzo" movie reference.

I like the monkey too. Several of my friends didn't get it.

As for Mtv, it's sad that they had to create Mtv2 to see videos. I remember in the 80's, I would go out for the weekend and record Headbanger's Ball. I loved that program. Glad they have it on Mtv2. I DVR it sometimes but it's not as good as it was back then.

I think it has less to do with censorship and more to do with most artists not putting any effort into making decent videos anymore.

So the **** MTV does play makes them more money than videos. cause no one want to watch the same **** over and over.

cept for these guys:

What killed Mtv(1) is that too many stupid kids watched, and gave better ratings to the game shows, fashion shows, reality shows, etc... than the actually video portion of programing. Mtv then got so many complaints about not showing videos that they had to create a new channel for just videos, Mtv2.

As for OK go. This is a great story. One of the band members sister did the choreography of the video and complete self promotion, via internet, completely sticking it to the RIAA and the big record companies. :)

The true American Dream, alive and well on the www.

OK Go - Here It Goes Again lyrics

It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.

Just when you think you're in control,

just when you think you've got a hold,

just when you get on a roll,

here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

I should have known,

should have known,

should have known again,

but here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of the reserve.

Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.

Just when you think you're in control,

just when you think you've got a hold,

just when you get on a roll,

here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

I should have known, should have known,

should have known again,

but here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.

Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

Oh here it goes again.

I should have known, should have known,

should have known again,

but here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

I agree with that, but put a share of the blame on the artists.

Videos used to be cool. Look at that Genesis video. It is creative, it took effort. It isn't just Phil Collins and the guys walking around their house, or showing off their "bling." Some used to be little mini-movies that could last longer than the song it was for. I think of the Thriller video, Dire Straits "Mony for Nothing", Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher", and tons and tons of other quality videos. Effort put into them to make them more than just a outlet for selling the song.

Fatboy Slims video with Chris Walken (Weapon of Choice) is one of the coolest videos ever- and Fatboy Slim isn't anywhere in it:

I completely agree. We used to have music video directors that would go on to major tv and movie directors. (**** John Landis did Michale Jackson's Thriller, and had done Animal House and American Werewolf In London.)

As for FB Slims vid, it had two things going for it. 1 = Good music, 2 = Chris Walken is a f'n Stud.

I'm thinking it had to do with money. These vids sold millions of albums. People didn't/couldn't download music at that time. They used to spend fortunes on these things. Ahhhhhh.. the good ol' days.

I'm trying to think of a good video but I can't right now. But until then here's some performance!!

Meatloaf - Paradise by the dashboard Lights

I. Paradise

Boy:

I remember every little thing

As if it happened only yesterday

Parking by the lake

And there was not another car in sight

And I never had a girl

Looking any better than you did

And all the kids at school

They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C'mon! Hold on tight!

C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:

Ain't no doubt about it

We were doubly blessed

Cause we were barely seventeen

And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it

Baby got to go and shout it

Ain't no doubt about it

We were doubly blessed

Boy:

Cause we were barely seventeen

And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart

You got it drowning out the radio

I've been waiting so long

For you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know

No you're never gonna regret it

So open up your eyes I got a big surprise

It'll feel all right

Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C'mon! Hold on tight!

C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can

And let Mother Nature do the rest

Ain't no doubt about it

We were doubly blessed

Cause we were barely seventeen

And we were barely--

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go allt he way

An tonight's the night...

Radio Broadcast:

Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker

going here, two down, nobody on, no score,

bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and

there it is, a line shot up the middle, look

at him go. This boy can really fly!

He's rounding first and really turning it on

now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna

try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,

and here comes the throw, and what a throw!

He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!

No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really

makes things happen out there.

Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--

he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying

for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--

safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!

He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost

daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher

glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted

down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!

Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,

here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,

holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

II. Let Me Sleep On It

Girl:

Stop right there!

I gotta know right now!

Before we go any further--!

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

Do you love me!?

Will you love me forever!?

Do you need me!?

Will you never leave me!?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?

I gotta know right now

Before we go any further

Do you love me!!!?

Will you love me forever!!!?

Boy:

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Girl:

I gotta know right now!

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

I gotta know right now!

Before we go any further

Do you love me?

And will you love me forever?

Boy:

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:

Will you love me forever?

Boy:

Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:

Will you love me forever!!!

III. Praying for the End of Time

Boy:

I couldn't take it any longer

Lord I was crazed

And when the feeling came upon me

Like a tidal wave

I started swearing to my *** and on my mother's grave

That I would love you to the end of time

I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you

I don't think that I can really survive

I'll never break my promise or forget my vow

But *** only knows what I can do right now

I'm praying for the end of time

It's all that I can do

Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:

It was long ago and it was far away

and it was so much better than it is today

Girl:

It never felt so good

It never felt so right

And we were glowing like

A metal on the edge of a knife

Don't misunderstand me - Rossington-Collins Band

I know where you're goin', 'cause I see where you've been

Don't you know by now, you've gotta take life on the chin

Still you sit and wonder why the past is gone

Baby you'll go under if you don't carry on

Don't misunderstand me

I realize it ain't easy to take,

But you've been hidin', and I've been

Ridin' like the wind just to find you.

I don't need no promises, just tell me the truth.

Mister, keep it honest, that's all I ask of you.

Don't be second guessin', 'bout where you want to be.

Baby, count your blessings 'cause you won't find one like me.

Don't misunderstand me

I realize it ain't easy to take,

But you've been hidin', and I've been

Ridin' like the wind just to find you.

Baby, put your dress on, grab them fancy shoes,

Honey, I'm ready and waiting on you.

Time is surely wastin', we've so much to do.

We're both too smart to be fakin'.

And I know it doesn't matter which road we choose,

Or if it's your way or my way.

Well now lady, let me tell you what we're gonna do,

We're gonna ride every highway.

Don't misunderstand me

I realize it ain't easy to take,

But you've been hidin', and I've been

Ridin' like the wind just to find you.

To find you...to find you...to find you.

Baby I love your way

Peter Frampton

Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)

Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)

Shadows grow so long before my eyes

And they're moving across the page

Suddenly the day turns into night

Far away from the city

But don't hesitate ''cause your love just won't wait

Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)

I Wanna tell you I love your way

I Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky

With the help of some fireflies

I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine

I can see them under the pine

But don't hesitate''cause your love just won't wait

Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)

Wanna tell you I love your way

Wanna be with you night and day

But don't hesitate''cause your love just won't wait

I can see the sunset in your eyes

Brown and grey and blue besides

Clouds are stalking islands in the sun

I wish I could buy one out of season

But don't hesitate''cause your love just won't wait

Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)

Wanna tell you I love your way

Wanna be with you night and day

Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)

Wanna tell you I love your way
