This has to be one of the most upbeat sounding songs about the man below. By the way I think its Joe Bouchard singing this song. It sounds just like him.
@Nightwing690 It was amazing seeing this band! One thing that blew me was how freaking loud an arena rock concert was. At times I thought the stage was going to collapse. Their musicianship is dead-on live. I recall they did Godzilla in a long mix of stage theatrics along with a spoken word build-up. To a 13 year old all I wanted was to go to more of these concerts. So I did, but nobody was better than these godzillas of rock! Hmm...are they in that stupid hall of fame? Godzilla should wreck it.
@paulj0557 Was that the Lazarus at Eastland Mall? Lived very near there 1978-80 and recall shopping there for Christmas gifts. It's funny thinking back to the different places you could find record albums being sold.
Ya know, you may be on track here. i never heard Joe sing at such a high range. i figured it was Eric. He sounds really good. those Bouchards pulled off some beauties.
Dude sounds nothing like Bloom! Maybe because this is the most gruff sounding Joe's vocals ever sounded, but no. To me Joe has a very distinct voice and this is it. I think it sounds a little fuller on this one because maybe it double tracked. Probably not the most reliable of sources but Wikipedia has a full list of songs NOT sung by Bloom and this falls under the Joe Bouchard category.
Nah John, it's Eric on the vocals here. Joe had some great moments along the way but his range wasn't as high as Bloom's. His song Morning Final from Agents remains a mystery-a great song that deserved much more radio play.
i had the chance to buy this abum once for a pound there was too many of them i resided it nust be crap, one decision i have grown to regret .. that was about 26 yrs ago in a cheap shop.....maybe i was a consumer victim shoulda followed my heart ............bummer
@hooglaz Joe also sang Screams (the first album), Hot Rails to Hell (Tyranny and Mutation), Morning Final (Agents of Fortune), Celestial the Queen & Nosferatu (Spectres), Moon Crazy (MIrrors), Light Years of Love (Revolution by Night). I think he might also have sung Vengeance - the Pact (Fire of Unknown Origin) on which he and Albert share the writing credit; and When the War Comes (Club Ninja) where he shares the writing credit with Sandy Pearlman.
@DKH1103 Dang! Thanks for the info. Always wondered who sang Moon Crazy. Those are all good tunes, but then again, any BOC song is. I'm looking forward to another concert in Detroit this summer. Hope they play Astronomy or ETI. I see they've added some new stuff to the lineup. Truthfully, I could do without all their "hits" and listen to some deeper stuff.
I think it is Albert. I saw him doing a solo version on youtube. He shoulda stuck with the band, although I love jules. Albert's history with the band is kinda strange. His vocals were nearly shut out on some albums (treaties, fire, red and black), mirrors but were prominent on others (agents, spectres). No wonder he had his gripes. I wish Eric still had his 70s voice, cause I'd love to hear astronomy in concert.
you all got me going now. i thought this song was straight up about lucifer (which makes it hard for me to listen to, even though i love it) i'll just pretend it's about a biker. this and lips are my faves off this album, but i like hungry boys and divine wind a lot, too. and the rest ain't bad. so who sings it? i think it's eric. i'm gonna write some pepsi lyrics. the devil, by the way, won't rule hell. he'll suffer eternally
Mirrors and Fire Of Unknown Origin are far superior albums - This is the only BOC album with the original members I thought sucked when i first heard it -but due to the fact NOBODY is making good music anymore It's starting to grow on me . I felt guilty for hating this album when it first came out-
Yes Drizzler, We all are born into a hellbound state, a fallen world under the spiritual seduction of an alien force eons old. The king of Rock is the only path to life. Do you know His name... His sons name?
Christ IS the Rock, the Holy One of Israel. Is was always Rock. The religious zealots have perverted the truth, because they're in bed with Lucifer. You're about to witness the rise of two world leaders who will deceive everyone. A man who will eventually claim to be God, with a false Jesus as his right hand man. They're real names are Edom and Abaddon (aka Lucifer). The true Christ will return from the heavens. Look up, bro!
Wrong, [Drizzlerman]: according to the Old Testament (Bible) Satan's kingdom is Earth, not Hell. Hell, Satan is going to be thrown into hell along with the rest of the sinners. Hell is GOD'S torture chamber, not Satan's. Strange how so few people know this; especially Chriantians (like I used to be).
Sorry for the digression. I love this song, but the lyrics don't make sense in respect to what I posted above.
So Earth is basically Hell then? I've had that feeling for quite some time. Then if this world; Hell is all we know I think that implies most of us are bound for the actual Hell, however that may be.
What AbbeyRoad means is that Satan is on Earth, influencing men. But Hell is a place of punishment reserved for Satan, his minions and those who reject G-d's Annointed One (Jesus). Check out the end of Revelation in the Bible
It could be. It's just that the whole phrase about "met a girl so strange I lost my head lost it all got left for dead" makes it sound ambiguous as if it was about a man who got cheated by a woman and went nuts or something like that...
The song is actually about bikers and outlaws and one of them falling in love with a captivating woman and reconsidering being an outlaw to gain her love. It's basically a good versus evil and love song.
Funny, the music DOES sound like it could be on a Pepsi commerical...kinda bouncy and fun. But its still great. When this came out I was going through hell with my own fallen angel, so it had a special meaning for me. The guitar solo is beautiful, short and sweet....what a statement. And Buck gets kinda country there at the very end. Hey Merle Haggard, how's about covering this 'un??
i think if any other bands covered BOC they wuld still not achieve wat BOC had it is their own unique style that i havnt heard with any other band and fireworks is a great song
This song reminds of The Who. Good one.
