METALLICA - THE UNFORGIVEN II

Il 2008 sarà ricordato come l'anno del ritorno dei "mostri" del hard & heavy. Oltre ai Guns N' Roses, di cui ho abbondantemente parlato, anche i Motorhead, gli AC/DC e i Metallica, gruppo quest'ultimo al quale sono legato moltissimo.
Metto una canzone, non dell'ultimo cd, ma di un album del '97 intitolato Re-Load, magari poco conosciuto e bistrattato - gratuitamente a mio parere - da critica e fans, ma portatore di grandi ricordi (...vero Mariuola?) e di fantastiche emozioni.
Bentornati anche a voi, Lars, Kirk, James e co.!

Lay beside me tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear to make my demons run
The door is locked now but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me then I can understand the you
Lay beside me under wicked sky
The black of day dark of night we share this paralyze
The door cracks open but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt what I've known
Turn the pages turn the stone
Behind the door should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt what I've known
Sick and tired I stand alone
Could you be there 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me this won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not she loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
What I've felt what I've known
Turn the pages turn the stone
Behind the door should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt what I've known
Sick and tired I stand alone
Could you be there 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt what I've known
Turn the pages turn the stone
Behind the door should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt what I've known
So sick and tired I stand alone
Could you be there 'cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
Oh
What I've felt what I've known
Turn the pages turn the stone
Behind the door should I open it for you?
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt oh, what I've known
I take this key and I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Never free Never me
'cause you're unforgiven too 

AXL & SEBASTIAN - MY MICHELLE

Guns N Roses - My Michelle @ Donington 2006

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroine but now she's underground
So you stay out late at night and you do your coke for free
Drivin' your friends crazy with your life's insanity

Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Sowin' all your wild oats in another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early and this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection calls honey I'll return the keys

Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Evryone needs love you know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone that'll fall in love with you
But oh the time it takes when you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone that you can call your own
But till then ya better...

Now you're clean and so discreet I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true 'cause you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your cryin' 'cause we both now money burns
Honey don't stop tryin'; an' you'll get what you deserve

CHINESE DEMOCRACY - GN'R

This song is dedicated to all the Guns n' fuckin' Roses' fans who stuck with us through all the fuckin' shit...and to those who opposed...hmm well!

It don't really matter
Gonna find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter, ohhh
I'm gonna leave this thing for, somebody else

If they were missionaries
Real time vissionaries
Sitting in a chinese stew
To view my disinfactuation

I know that i'm a classic case
Watch my disinchanted face
Blame it on the falun gong
They've seen the end and they cant hold on now

'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
More than you've got to rule the nation
But all i've got is precious time

It dont really matter
Guess i'll keep it to myself
Said, it don't really matter
Each time i look around for, somebody else

'Cause it would take a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with your iron fist
All they've got to rule the nation
When all we've got is precious time

More than you've got to fool the nation
But all i've got is precious time

(Solo Guitar)

It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter... matter
So you can hear it now from, somebody else

You think you've got it all locked up inside
And if you beat 'em enough they'll die
It's like a walk in the park for myself
And now you'r keeping your own kind in hell
When your great wall rocks, blame yourself
While their arms reach out for your help
And you' re out of time

BASTARDI!!!! HANNO CENSURATO IL VIDEO...
Per adesso mettiamo questo.
Maledetti!!!!!
BOIA DI CHI SO IO,
DI QUELLA TROIA DI CHI SO IO!!!!

E questa è la versione di ROCK IN RIO 2001 (con BUCKETHEAD!) e la presentazione della band.

GUNS N' ROSES - MADAGASCAR

Manca una manciata di ore all'uscita dell'album più atteso (17 anni!) della storia del rock: CHINESE DEMOCRACY dei GUNS N' ROSES.
Forse dovremo attendere altri 17 anni per poter esprimere un giudizio obiettivo e sereno sulla titanica (!?) fatica di Axl & co. Un giudizio scevro da fanatismi e rimpianti di ciò che fu o che avrebbe potuto essere. Un giudizio libero da illusioni feticistiche di auto-distruzioni e pregiudizi pro e contro Axl.
Per il momento e nell'attesa spasmodica di avere fra le mani quel già mitico cd, propongo questo video - rigorosamente non ufficiale - di quella che alcuni prevedono sia la November rain del principio di nuovo millennio: MADAGASCAR.
In ogni caso, bentornati Guns!
O più esattamente, BENTORNATO AXL!!!

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought back in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No, I.. No, I...

Forgive that they teared down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
A dream that's forgotten may know
That it's never too late

So many times that I've seen life before me
I searched and found the way to choose to the end
I found a way, to know, why it had to be
Mired in denial and saw all the rain

If we ever find it true
Love will have its way to choose
Three more to tame
We can be ever

(Quotes by Martin Luther King) "Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty we are free at last!"

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
And I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought back in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

THE ROLLING STONES - ANYBODY SEEN MY BABY

WHO CAN HELP ME?

She confessed her love to me then she vanished on the breeze
Trying to hold on to that was just impossible
She was more than beautiful closer to etherial
With a kind of down to earth flavor
Close my eyes it's three in the afternoon
Then I realize that shes really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
Love has gone and made me blind
I've looked but I just cant find
She has gotten lost in the crowd
I was flippin magazines in that place on mercer street
When I thought I spotted her
Getting on a motor bike looking rather lady like
Didnt she just give me a wave?
Salty tears it's three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Is she really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
(rap)
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
Lost, lost and never found
I must have called her a thousand times
Sometimes I think shes just in my imagination
Lost in the crowd

JANIES'S GOT A GUN - AEROSMITH

Dedicato a tutti quelli che hanno
una pistola...

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum it's the sound of my gun.
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum it's the sound

Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
they found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin' Now that Janie's got a gun
she ain't never gonna be the same.

Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue.
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under the lightning and the
thunder knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me. The man was such a sleeze.
He ain't never gonna be the same.

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun

Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Because Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun

CIVIL WAR - GN'R

Ieri, girando su YouTube, ho scoperto questo stupendo video di una meravigliosa canzone dei Guns, con tanto di Axl con ampio guardaroba (!?) e folta barba rossa, tipo Red Erik! E con Slash e Duff irresistibilmente scatenati!
Radio Prufrock la dedica alla mia amica (...) Ines, augurandole tutto il bene del mondo!
Vai con i Guns e ONORE A AGNES!!!

(Slash / McKagan / Rose)
Special Thanks Niven / James


"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it! Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

Look at your young men fighting. Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding. Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied. The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside by bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam we got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land

And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances peace is closer" **


I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

SKID ROW - BEAT YOURSELF BLIND - GET THE FUCK OUT

Siamo ancora incazzati. Ancora Skid Row.

BEAT YOURSELF BLIND

Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstition
Pour me a chemical to take away the edge
Don't make up anything that's breaking all your fingers
Just slap around a bit of what it takes to pledge

Carry out another stone as a slave
Ask general-know-it-all "Who's juggling the earth?"
Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave
And shove aside your nation all for what it's worth

(Chorus)
Beat yourself blind (Repeat 6x)
An open eyes and a closed mind

Look at the suit in suspended animation
A faded outline that used to be a man
A piece of paper that's fallen out a window
Has got a better chance to know where it will land

(Repeat Chorus)

To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain--under my eyes are painted skies
Down at the boneyard, they're diggin' up the relics
Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines
I got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission
The zombies had a ball, but don't know what it means

Beat yourself blind

GET THE FUCK OUT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxaO6HL6HlY

Your jokes ain´t funny and there´s notin´ you say
That I wanna hear
The sound of the door slammin´ your ass out
Is music to my ears

If I can´t beat you then I´m gonna beat you to a pulp
So can the TV rays and take my tonsil glaze
Right down your throat

You´re standin´ too close what the fuck´s with you,
You ain´t my old lady and you ain´t a tattoo
No need to whimper, no need to shout
This party´s over, so get the fuck out
Get the fuck out

Well I puke, I stink bitch give me a drink
´Cause I´m payin´ for the room
I ain´t buying you breakfast
So keep your mouth busy and wrap your lips
All around my attitude

Take a walk with me with your triple double D´s
And your 40-foot do
Why you walkin´ funny you must have spent some time
With the boys in the crew

You´re standin´ too close what the fuck´s with you,
You ain´t my old lady and you ain´t a tattoo
No need to whimper, no need to shout
This party´s over, so get the fuck out
Get the fuck out

The morning´s comin´ and this is my bed
If I find you here when I wake up
The maid is gonna find me dead

You´re standin´ too close what the fuck´s with you,
You ain´t my old lady and you ain´t a tattoo
No need to whimper, no need to shout
This party´s over, so get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out

SKID ROW - MONKEY BUSINESS

Dal profondo degli anni '90 e dal profondo del cuore un grosso 'fanculo a questa vita di merda con un grande pezzo degli SKID ROW!!!
Oggi quà a Radio Prufrock siamo un tantino incazzati.

[Bolan, Snake]

Outside my window there's a whole lot of trouble comin'
The cartoon killers and the rag cover clones
Stack heels kickin' rhythm of social circumcision
Can't close the closet on shoe box full of bones

Kangaroo lady with her bourbon in a pouch
Can't afford the rental on a bamboo couch
Collecting back her favors 'cause her well is running dry
I know her act is terminal, but she ain't gonna die

Slim intoxicado drinkin' dime store hooch
is always in a circle with his part-time pooch
Little creepy's playing dollies in the New York rain
thinkin' Bowie's just a knife
Ooh the pain
I ain't seen the sun since I don't know when
The freaks come out at nine
And it's twenty to ten
What's this funk that you call junk
To me it's just monkey business

Blind man in the vox that will probably die
The village kids laugh as they walk by
A psycho is on the edge of this human garbage dump
And the vultures in the sewers are telling
Him to jump
Into the fire from the frying pan
Tripping on his tounge
For a cool place to stand
Where's this shade that you've got it made
To me it's just monkey business

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business if I got
No monkey on my back

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business
If I got monkey's on my back

The vaseline gypsies and silicone souls
Dressed to the society
Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis
Can't get you by that monkey

ALIVE - PEARL JAM

Radio Prufrock dedica questa canzone a Dario, Erika e Mariella.
Con l'augurio di cuore che possano presto arrivare giorni sereni.
