Sadly, bands like Danzig would never get signed today.
Modern record companies are more worried about offending the sacred minorities who shout RACISM every time someone coughs, or alienating a bunch of austere soccer moms whose kids are all on prescription drugs, than producing first-rate hardcore rock 'n roll.
@shabanshau This song was basically written as a clash against those over protective parents who pushed for the Parental Advisory stickers on certain albums.
@themusicstillsucks That doesn't mean that he shouldn't have the privilege to listen to good music. Most of us late 90's and new milennia kids get bombarded with disney "music" and crap like that, but thankfully for us, there are good games out there that include good music in their OST's. If he was brought here by GTA:SA, FEAR 3 or any other game, so be it.
Came out, originally, I think in 1988 but it wasn't until 1993 when this song became a hit! Which if you remember 1993, this fits in perfectly with that year. This wasn't 80's hair metal and hair metal was out of style by 1993. Bands like Metallica, Green Jello, Tool, Guns N Roses, Butthole Surfers, etc, were popular in 1993. Although this doesn't sound like those bands, it fits in.
@DavidDavidsonful he can totaly sing like that still! have you herd his new album? listen to "on a wicked night" i actuely think his voice has gotten better with age, or deffinitly as good.
@lzw3 dude just so you know your not replying the right way, go up to my comment and press Reply button that way the comment automaticly goes to my inbox, the only reason im seeing your comments is cause i watch this vidio a lot. new to youtube? lol i was the same way. yah im gald you see my point, Iron Maiden are less mainstream, but way more consitent band then Metallica. and once again Bruce Dickinson=god of vocals
@TrueIronMaidenFan okay soz about that. Yeah Iron Maiden are a good band. It's just a matter of opinion
PS I'm glad we could have this conversation like civilised people and not like those guys that start calling eachother muthafuckas and everything like that talking about playstation vs. xbox. haha
@lzw3 Metallica-realeased 5 good albums in their carrer, sold out completely to get their following Iron Maiden-other then The X Factor, Virtuel XI, and NPFTD all their efforts have been strong, have never sold out to get their incredibly huge following, they are indeed just as popular. and ofcourse they have Bruce Dickinson, one of the greatests singers that ever lived.
dude its not even a comparison, even Metallica like Iron Maiden more then Metallica.
is it just me, or does everyone who tries to disseminate a song meaning (cough cough baraka4100) sound like a 10 year old trying to interpret string theory???
What exactly was the meaning of this song meant to be?
I detect a hint of sarcasm in the line "tell your children not to hear my words, what they mean, what they say." It gives the hint- at least in my mind- that he's challenging his critics who hate him based on some imagined moral high ground.
@unit694 The song is a little vague and cryptic. One interpretation is that the narrator is beginning a descent into something evil, probably Satanism, and his family is concerned. Throughout the song he tells his mother and father not to try to help him. Some lines include, "Tell your children not to walk my way" telling them not to send his brothers and sisters; and "Not about to see your light" meaning he doesn't want to go the way of his parents. This is the reason why he made it.
Great song, awful video. This is almost as bad as Queensryche 's Queen of the Ryche. I swear the only band that could do a decent video back in the 80's was Maiden. And that was just them on stage with some b&w movie clips spliced in, but it worked.
Hey i got a question me and my band do misfits songs as a cover and they told me that glenn danzing was with the misfits is it true?? please answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
manu of course... he was the first lead vocals! until he left... then jerry became the lead singer and then graves joined, the graves leaved and jerry is now the singer...
Danzig was not only in the misfits, but was probably the only guy with any talent in the band. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the misfits, but they were little more than a glorified garage band, which is actually one of the things that made them so awesome. Danzig went on to a successful solo career, while the rest of the dudes in the band never figured out that 40 year old men look REALLY ridiculous dressed as extras from an Ed Wood movie. LOL
