简介:
［乐队］
Skid Row的成名史当朔及金属乐的黄金80年代，当时有不下数十支乐团驰骋于乐坛及Bilboard排行榜之中，而由`80重摇滚先锋Bon Jovi所慧眼相中并提拔的Skid Row虽然出道稍晚，却能在居此劣势之下突破Motley Crue、Poison与Cinderella等成名乐团所打下的金属市场，并占有一席之地，尤其是首张同名专辑获颁双白金，并攻占Billboard，分别为Top 4 的 18 And Life 和Top 6的 I remember You ，即可证明Skid Row为一颗不折不扣的超级新星。
第二张专辑“Slave To The Grind”以更为厚重的金属风格呈现并持续狂卖，同时期Skid Row更来台演出，造成轰动。之后进入90年代由于Nirvana所带起的Grunge风潮，将华丽金属王朝淹没，Skid Row也因此沉寂一段时间，直到1995年才又推出叫好却不叫座的“Subhuman Race”，足见大势已去，连带地也使得乐团解散，至于众所瞩目的主唱Sebastian Bach则转战百老汇歌剧圈，获得不错的成绩。
［主唱］
Sebastian Bach
原名：Sebastian Phillip Bierk 专业：歌手
生日：1968年4月3日 身高：191cm 体重：66kg
家乡：Freeport，Bahamas
音乐根源：Rob Halford、Michael Monroe、James Brown、Sly Stone、Jimi Hendrix、Motorhead以及Motley Crue。
音乐生涯：在参加Skid Row之前，他曾经是Herrenvolk、Madame X、V05和Kid Wikkid的成员。
家庭成员：一个妹妹Dylan和弟弟Zakk。
祖先血统：Sebastian父亲的家族是来自挪威的，而他母亲的家族是来自加拿大的，而且在他母亲的家族中还带有一点美国印第安人的血统。
自我描述："不成熟，容易冲动，喜欢极端而且容易迷失自我"。
对后辈乐手的建议："离开学校，离开你的工作，到大的城市去，结交众多的其他的音乐人。苦练你的演奏/演唱技艺，然后你就会有所获得。"
相信喜欢重金属的人对 Skid Row 都有特别的好感，他们虽是一支偶像味极浓的 Pop Metal 乐队，但是与其他同类的乐队相比，他们音乐显得暴戾了许多。除此以外，乐队还能写出像 "18 And Lives", "Wasted Time" 之类其他同行写不出震撼的优秀作品，当然也不乏像"I Remember You"这样优美的情歌。特别值得一提的是主唱 Sebastian Bach 极端的高音，缓时有如静水清澈见底，噪时有如浊浪咆哮翻腾，一个"爽"字岂能形容。
［歌词］
18 and life(1988)
Ricky was a young boy
He had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5
And worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely got out of school
Came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
So no one could take him down
He had no money, oh no good at home
He walked the streets
A soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's........
*18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time
And it's 18 and life to go (*)
Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running
But it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure
"Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble
And had a courtship with a gun
Bang Bang ! Shoot'em up
The party never ends
You can't think of dying
When the bottle's your best friend
And now it's........ (*)
"Accidents will happen"
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That blew a child away (*)
I Remember You(1991)
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
Monkey Business(1991)
(Rachel Bolan/Snake)
Outside my window there's a
Whole lot of trouble comin'
The cartoon killers and the
Rag cover clones
Stack heals kickin' rhythm
Of social circumcision
Can't close the closet on a
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 on 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 box 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 tongue for a cool place to stand
Where's this shade that you've got it made
To me it's just monkey business
CHORUS
Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business
If I got no monkey on my back
CHORUS
The Vaseline gypsies and the silicone souls dressed to the society
Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis can't get you by that monkey
Slave to the Grind(1991)
(Sebastian Bach/Rachel Bolan/Snake)
You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I'm still stuck inside the rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I'm just another gear in the assembly line-oh no
The noose gets tighter around my throat
But I ain't at the end of my rope
CHORUS
'Cause I won't be the one left behind
Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind.
Get it?
A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain't even close
There's no need to waste your prayers on me
You better mark my words 'cause I'm history.
Yes indeed
You might beg for mercy to get by
But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side
CHORUS
They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick
They tore my intentions apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
You talk verbal insecticide
CHORUS
I said slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Quicksand Jesus(1991)
(Rachel Bolan/Snake)
She caught the melting sky.
It burned but still the winter passes by and by to the other side
A slow parade of wind that blows through trees that wilted
With the season's children
Are we saved by the words of bastard saints? Do we live in fear or faith
Tell me now who's behind the rain
A maze of tangled grace
The symptoms of "for real" are crumbling from embrace
But still we chase...the shadows of belief
And new religion clouds our visions of the roots of our souls
Are we ashamed of our own fate
Or play the fool for our own sake
Tell me who's behind the rain
What do we need where do we go when we get where we don't know
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow
When faith's our shelter from the cold
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away without you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away without you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away...away
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
Quicksand Jesus I need you
Quicksand Jesus I believe you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
In a Darkened Room(1989)
(Sebastian Bach/Rachel Bolan/Snake)
In a darkened room beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed
And the innocence of a child is bought and sold in the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent and cold
Forgive me please for I know not what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true
CHORUS
Tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep to hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light in a darkened room
All the precious times have been put to rest again
And the smile of the dawn brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust
And watch it crystallize while my salvation it crumbles to dust
Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore
Wasted Time(1991)
(Sebastian Bach/Rachel Bolan/Snake)
You and I together in our lives,
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day
I think back to the times when dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind
Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know
He's all alone.
He's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you can be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes, it rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time will write your final rhyme
And end a memory
I never thought you'd let it get this far boy
Into Another(1995)
Bolan, Snake
Slowly I heal the love that's found its way
Onto another path in times of change
Crossing a bridge unknown
Hoping our strength will hold
Should they both let go then let me lay
...Let me lay
(chorus)
Show me a sign
To a light that shines
One direction into another
Sheltered peace of mind
Somehow I lost a piece of memory
Somehow I know my legs will carry me
Searching for circle's end
Hoping the wounds will mend
Should they scar, then it was meant to be
(repeat chorus 3x)
Breakin' Down(1995)
Snake
What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that
Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home
(Chorus)
If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down
As if you thought the rain could wash away the day
And could heal you
Not for a second did I believe it
Not for a minute did I believe that
Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home
(Repeat chorus 2x)
What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that
(Repeat chorus 2x)
Psycho Therapy(1991)
By The Ramones
Chorus:
Psycho therapy, psycho therapy, psycho therapy
That's what they want to give me
Psycho therapy, psycho therapy, psycho therapy
That's what they want to give me
I'm a teenage schizoid. The one your parents despise
Psycho therapy, now I got glowing eyes
I'm a teenage schiziod. Pranks and muggings are fun
Psycho therapy, gonna kill some one
Psycho therapy, psycho therapy!
(repeat chorus)
I like taking Chewinal. It keeps me edgy and mean.
I'm a teenage schiziod, I'm a teenage dope fiend.
Well, I'm the one in the nut house, I'm the kid in the psycho zone
Psycho therapy, I'm gonna burglarize your home!
Psycho therapy! Psycho therapy!
(Chorus twice)
What they want to give me!
Little Wing (1992)
By The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Well she's walkin Through the clouds With a circus mind That's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairytales That's all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind
oh, when I'm sad She comes to me With a thousand smiles She gives to me free
It's alright she said It's alright Take anything you want from me Anything.
Piece Of Me (Revised) (1989)
Sleazin´ in the city
Lookin´ for a fight
Got my heels and lookin´ pretty
On a Saturday night, night, night
Good God, bless my soul
I need a fix of rock ´n roll
Come on baby you gotta wait and see
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
Caught a lonely lady
Crying on a cigarette
I got nasty, nasty habits
And that´s all she´s gonna get
One for the money, two for the show
So ´round and ´round and ´round we go5
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
I don´t have looks, I don´t have money
But I know one thing´s for suree
One night ain´t enough of my love
She wanted more, more, morech
Sleazin´ in the city
Lookin´ for a fight
Got my heels and lookin´ pretty
On a Saturday night, night, night
One for the money, two for the show
So ´round and ´round and ´round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me!
Youth Gone Wild (1989)
Since I was born they couldn´t hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town?
Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere
I look and see it´s not only me
So many others have stood where I standv
We are the young so raise your hands?
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won´t fall
We´re the one and one for all
The writing´s on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
Boss screamin´ in my ear about who I´m supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you´ll look just like me
I said "Hey man, there´s something that you oughta know
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row
I look and see it´s not only me
We´re standin´ tall ain´t never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won´t fall
We´re the one and one for all
The writing´s on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won´t fally
We´re the one and one for all
The writing´s on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild
