Thunderstruck inaugura o álbum “The Razors Edge”, 1990, dos AC-DC, que traz duas das suas músicas mais famosas Thunderstruck e Moneytalks. Chegou ao top 5 da Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks e foi lançada como single do álbum um pouco por todo o mundo. AC-DC é uma banda adorada por muitos e odiada por outros tantos com igual fervor, mas eu sou fã desde que me lembro, e sou fã devido à “graciosa voz” do senhor Brian Johnson. Para mim, esta musica recorda-me pulos em cima da cama, guitarras de vassoura e um ardor na garganta depois de tanto cantar (e tentar fracamente e falhar completamente imitar o Johnson). Cheguei a partir um estrado de uma cama à pala do The Razors Edge, gravado numa cassete muito ranhosa e ouvido aos altos berros até quase rebentar as colunas.
Se na altura o meu inglês não me permitia perceber correctamente toda a letra, bastava-me ouvir aquele “aaaah—ahhhaaah---aaahe” que dava-me longo vontade de pôr os pulos. Anos mais tarde, o som das mesmas cantilenas eram o suficiente para vier a correr da (falecida) discoteca News (que em tempos se chamou Biasa, e depois News de novo, antes de encerrar de vez, na Malveira da Serra, Sintra (Rock Forever!)) e dar um grandioso espectáculo (decente, entenda-se) de cabeleira ao vento, como chicotes, deixando quase todos os que estavam à minha volta… thunderstrucked.
Como se nota, é uma musica que me puxa à rebeldia, ontem, hoje e sempre, e ainda hoje apetece-me sempre cantá-la em plenos pulmões quando a oiço.
You have been, thunderstruck!
(Thunder) (x10)
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)
I looked 'round,
And I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (Thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns!
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruck!
Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the ton
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas
And we had some fun
We met some girls,
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shakin' at the knees
Could I come again please.
Yeah the ladies were too kind
You've been - thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck
Oh, thunderstruck, yeah
Yeah
Now we're shaking at the knees
Could I come again please.
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said yeah, it's alright
We're! Doing fine
Yeah, it's alright
We're! Doing fine
So fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Whoa baby, baby, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck
(Live at Donnington)
Mais reviews minhas se seguirão. Já tenho mais duas prontas. ;)

Matricide - Nevermore
Uma das músicas da minha vida, responsável por me ter feito apaixonar por esta banda e ter querido conhecê-la a fundo. A intensidade dramática da voz de Warrel Dane e intensidade das suas letras é algo difícil de igualar (aquele refrão mata-me) e nesta música, o resultado é devastador. Sem dúvida o meu tipo de música. Quanto às letras... falam por si. De tal maneira que julgo não haver mais nada a dizer.
Hear our Mother crying in silent tears
For she can't speak, she only cries She cries to me
Draw the final curtain, for senseless thoughts
And senseless hands have shaped the future
Is it not what you thought would come?
Or maybe people no longer care for Mother Earth
Earth Mother is screaming, we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
Feel our
Mother nurture, for we are the children
Suckling at her breasts she gives us life, she give us all we need
What do we give in return for life we take from her?
Oh, forgive us Mother, forgive us
For we know what we do We've blistered and burned you
Our kind may soon be through, we've raped you Earth Mother is screaming,
we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway Earth Mother is screaming,
we can't live without her No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
Think of our little ones,
for whom the world has just begun....

Ride On - AC/DC
Não vou falar do facto desta ser a única balada do vasto reportório dos AC-DC nem do seu tom premonitório em relação à morte do carismático vocalista Bon Scott, que sufocou sobre o seu próprio vómito depois de (mais) uma noite de excessos. A intenção primordial deste blog é mostrar as músicas que têm impacto nos seus dois intervenientes. Pois bem, esta música é daquelas que a letra poderia ser escrita por mim e a mensagem continua a fazer todo o sentido. Não interessa o que aconteça... tenho que continuar a...
Ride on.
It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep dragging on
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -
Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days
Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on
Ride on.

The Idol - W.A.S.P.
Uma das bandas percursoras do shock rock de Alice Cooper mas musicalmente pertencentes à cena Glam Rock de Los Angeles dos anos 80. A diferença destes para todos os restante, era mesmo a teatralidade extrema. No início dos anos 90, com o lançamento do álbum The Crimson Idol, a toada mais séria na banda mantem-se, depois de Headless Children em 89 - não esquecer que o significado de W.A.S.P. não é White Anglo-Saxon Protestants e sim We Are Sexual Perverts. Desta feita temos um álbum conceptual na mesma onda de The Wall, com as devidas distâncias entre as duas obras, claro. Ambas exploram e exorcizam os fantasmas dos seus criadores. Uma ópera rock sobre um rapaz traumatizado pela sua infância difícil e pela morte do seu irmão. Foge de casa e tenta a sua sorte na grande cidade onde consegue triunfar como rockstar, mas quanto mais sobe, quanto mais sucesso tem, mais só se sente. Esta música é o culminar dessa solidão, onde Jonathan grita por amor, o amor que tanta vez lhe foi negado por todos, enquanto se afoga na droga e no álcool. É uma música belíssima em que a emotividade da voz de Blackie Lawless e os fantásticos solos de Bob Kullick - arrepiantes mesmo - fazem com que seja impossível ficar indiferente a ela. O refrão é viciante e cada vez que ouço e canto, não consigo deixar de me emocionar, sendo fácil de me identificar com ela.
Vou por aqui o clip oficial com a música editada - onde temos solos mutilados como não podia deixar de ser - e a música (quase) completa, apenas sem uns diálogos no início.
Will I be alone this morning
Will I need my friends
Something just to ease away the pain
And now I never see the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my faith
If I could only stand and stare in the mirror could I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, come set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Do you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, come set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
"Jonathan."
"Yeah?"
"It's showtime."

Queen Of Winter, Throned - Cradle Of Filth
E agora para algo completamente diferente. Sei que para a maioria das pessoas que não lê este blog e até para a miha parceira de blog, esta escolha irá dar-lhe a volta ao estômago. Fazendo algo que não gosto, que é repetir-me, terei que escolher esta música devido à crítica ao álbum de onde ela é retirada que recentemente fiz e terei de evocar as mesmas razões que evoquei antes. Para mim esta música representa a visão que eu tenho do Black Metal. Forte na evocação de imagens e ambientes, majestosa, agressiva, melódica - quer queiram quer não, aquele refrão e pré-refrão é catchy como tudo e os riffs finais não saiem da cabeça depois de entrarem. E depois a voz a gritar e a urrar. Eu sei, eu sei, não se percebe um boi do que ele diz... mas dá uma pica do caraças gritar junto. É libertador!
Bem, mas voltando atrás, o que me fascina nesta música é mesmo o ambiente cinematográfico, talvez pela grandiosa produção, ou talvez por tudo aquilo que disse atrás. De qualquer maneira é uma daquelas músicas que é sempre efectiva em mim seja por todos os motivos enunciados ou até por me estimular a imaginação, como um bom livro deve fazer.
Even a man who is pure in the heart
And speaks in prayer by night
May become a wolf when the wolf's bane bloom
And the winter moon is bright
Listen to them
The children of the night
What sweet music they make
Iniquitous
I share Carmilla's mask
A gaunt mephitic voyeur
On the black side of the glass
Peering through the mirror
Deep dark and ominous
Consorting themes, demons I weave
Subservience from thee to lost
I am Corinthian light
A snake in flowers by night
The last temptation of christ
Evil in mortal...
Disguise the guilt
Sharp-eyed, impassive whore
Burn the asafœtida
and rank petriachor
Lure me panthered Faustia
With cunt and veiled womb
To prowl thy inner sanctum walls
In Tirgoviste to resume
Control
Seduction, my obsessive art
A pantheon of tragedies inscribed upon the stars
Like thistled ruin, garbed around thy heart
Bacchanal Cinderella, desirious midnight passed
Leaving thee as sacrifice asleep within my arms
'Midst dreams od robed redemption versed in sexual aftermath
When we ebb as tides together, carnal souls entwined
And orgasms expire, come puppet wires and the blind
(Purge)
Fires work in me
A lithe supremacy
I tear asunder heaven as I would all enemies
Impaler Lord
Flesh upon the sword
My lower lusts are sated, the greater herald war
I am thirst, spearheaded hunger
Sacrament and pain
Nails raked in savagery
When the cruel Countessa came
Exalt!
The Queen of death-white winter enthroned
Evil resplendent, in dusk red seething skies
Foam-flecked nightmares drag a moon
Of Draconian design
A love that never dies
Nefarious as her winds
Stirring silhouettes to rise
When stars fall pale
And to drown back in Her eyes
Is to madden ghosts within
To unhinge a thousand sins
From Death's dark vale
"Blessed be these spells of winter
Unto us that wait with patience in
This secret garden
To storm our way into another
As yes undone"
(Surge)
Desert claims Eden
And Hyperborean
Visions of Utopia are driven from the sun
Iconoclast
Before thee angels clasped
In nakedness their ochre flesh
Shall yield to thy advance
She is all to me
Mysterious, alive
The howling in the deep woods
When cold festal stars aligned
Exalt!
The Queen of death-white winter enthroned
Evil resplendent, in dusk red seething skies
Foam-flecked nightmares drag a moon
Of Draconian design
A love that never dies
Nefarious as her winds
Stirring silhouettes to rise
When stars fall pale
And to drown back in Her eyes
Is to madden ghosts within
To unhinge a thousand sins
From Death's dark vale
A lurid moon looms; phosphorent, evil
Yesod vested in despotic upheaval
Silvering wolves that scarlet forest snow
Forgotten ones enter as above, so below
The trees groan aghast as ghostly pallored clouds are rent
When the drunken earth heaves, sweep aside seas to ascend
From Sheol's dank haunted wilderness
Thy seal upon Nuit's starry vault to incense the sleepers, dead
Queen of Winter, throned
The murderess lurked in vulgar caresses
Vestal masturbation
(Purity) Overthrown
Darkness
In raven feathered dress
Sides with Death at chess
Their pawns are many and the enemy
Powerless
When the miscreants fell dead
She took to conjuring spells in the cusp of the night
And the bestial floor shook with terrible life
I rise before thee Queen
To feed our lusts on the blood of the weak
To rule heaven and worlds crawling beneath
Satanic Tyranny

I Love Rock 'N Roll - Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
A versão original desta música é da autoria dos Arrows de 1975, a versão de Joan Jett foi aquela que conheci primeiro. Para mim esta música revela o espírito desta autêntica deusa do Rock. Depois de ter saído das Runaways - banda que fundou com Lita Ford - Joan gravou em 1979, com dois membros dos Sex Pistols, Paul Cook e Steve Jones, uma versão da música que passou despercebida. Mais tarde, após ter tentado lançar o álbum homónimo de estreia na carreira a solo e de ter levado tampa em cerca de 23 majors, resolve criar a sua própria editora, sendo a primeira mulher a fazê-lo. Os senhores devem ter-se arrependido, já que após ter relançado o mesmo álbum através de um novo nome (Bad Reputation) em 1981, no final desse mesmo ano sai o álbum intitulado I Love Rock 'N Roll que factura qualquer coisa como 10 milhões de cópias muito graças ao single com o mesmo título. E porquê? Bem, se não for suficiente ouvir a faixa, então terei que dizer que esta é a essência do rock, simples, cheio de energia, suor e uma vontade interminável de gritar o refrão. Para mim, esta mulher é a representação desse espírito, que resiste a tudo, à passagem do tempo, das modas e de versões homicidas por estrelas pop que não sabem cantar.
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must 'a been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playin' my favorite song

Black - Pearl Jam
Um monumento do rock pesado viu a luz do dia em 1991. O álbum Ten abalou por completo o panorama rock, juntando-se a Nevermind dos Nirvana (curiosamente Kurt Cobain acusou o grupo de serem uns vendidos, junto com alguma imprensa especializada, e afirmou que Ten não era um verdadeiro álbum alternativo devido aos seus inúmeros leads de guitarra.) A massiva exposição dos singles na rádio fez com que a banda, com o seu primeiro álbum, obtivesse sucesso à escala mundial. Black era uma das escolhas óbvias da editora para single mas a banda recusou em absoluto. Jeff Ament, baixista, disse que preferia que dez anos mais tarde preferia que a banda fosse lembrada pelas suas músicas e não pelos seus vídeos. Nascia aqui a aversão da banda às ferramentas comerciais que fazem parte do negócio da música.
Esta música, uma ode ao desgosto amoroso, consegue transmitir emoção de uma forma que poucas conseguem. De uma forma visceral, crua, sincera, apaixonada. Humana. Faz-me sentido por me ter acompanhado em certos momentos da minha vida (não é difícil adivinhar quais) e que ainda me acompanha. Ainda faz sentido e irá fazer sentido sempre porque é muito fácil nos identificarmos com os sentimentos que não conseguimos forjar. Um futuro não vivido que é destroçado por uma separação destroçada e as duas últimas frases têm a força de um murro no estômago, aliada à que Vedder ocasionalmente acrescenta ao vivo: "We belong together... forever...".
Pois é... murro no estômago.
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
