Drive-By Truckers - Let There Be Rock

Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old,
And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me.
On my way home, got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama, with a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth.
My buddy Gene was driving, he just barely turned sixteen.
And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry", but we lived to tell about it
And we lived to do a whole lot more crazy, stupid, shit.

And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
With 38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band.

One night when I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka, on an empty stomach, then drove over to a friend's house. And I backed my car between his parent's Cadillac's without a scratch.
Then crawled to the back door and slithered threw the key hole, and sneaked up the stares
And puked in the toilet.
I passed out and nearly drowned but his sister, DD, pulled me out.

And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
And the band that I was in played "The Boy's are Back in Town".

Skynyrd was set to play Huntsville, Alabama, in the spring of 77, I had a ticket but it got cancelled.
So, the show, it was rescheduled for the "Street Survivors Tour".
And the rest, as they say, is history.

So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads in 82
Right before that plane crash.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw AC/DC
With Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour".

With Bon Scott singing, LET THERE BE ROCK!

Snow Patrol - Hands Open een verwijzing naar Sufjan Stevens:


It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hope that it's right.
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me tired with joy.

Put Sufjan Stevens on, and we'll play your favorite song,
Chicago bursts to life in your sweet smile remembers you
My hands open and my eyes open, I just keep hoping that your heart opens.

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hope that it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me tired with joy

En ons aller Anouk met Tom Waits (duh)

I'm wrapped around your finger
Two fingers on my lips
No need to speak
Cause it's all in your eyes

When they turned out the lights
They gave us one for the road
We headed for the tracks
And never looked back
This could never be real

Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more
Can't wait no more
On the downtown train
Me and mr. Tom Waits

Sonic Touth - Tunic (Song for Karen)

Gaat over Karen Carpenter die in de hemel collega's tegenkomt:

dreaming, dreaming of a girl like me
hey what are you waiting for - feeding, feeding me
I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day
but I look in the mirror - I'm bigger in every way

she said:
you aren't never going anywhere
you aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

I'm in heaven now - I can see you Richard
goodbye Hollywood, goodbye downey - hello Janis
hello Dennis, Elvis - and all my brand new friends
I'm so glad you're all here with me, until the very end

dreaming, dreaming of how it's supposed to be
but now this tunic's spinning - around my arms and knees
I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day
but when I open my mouth to sing - I'm bigger in every way

she said:
you aren't never going anywhere
you aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

hey mom! look I'm up here - I finally made it
I'm playing the drums again too
don't be sad - the band doesn't sound half bad
and I remember mom, what you said
you said honey - you look so under-fed

[background voices singing various covers]

[Kim]
another green salad, another ice tea
there's a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day
but I look in your eyes - and I'm bigger in every way

she said:
you aren't never going anywhere
you aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

goodbye Richard - gotta go now
I'm finally on my own - but Dan's got a gig
keep the love lights glowing - little girl's got the blues
I can still hear momma say: "honey don't let it go to your head"

Saxon - Play It Loud

"Listening to Deep Purple reminiscing of old days"

Bruce Springsteen- Thunder Road

"Roy Orbison singin' for the lonely"

Met weiwater en een kruis bij me durf ik het aan het volgende te typen met de hoop dat er geen aloude ellenlange discussie gaat plaats vinden over hoe goed/slecht Frank Zappa wel niet is...

Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water:

We all came out to Montreux
On the lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know well never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky


Ik verschuil me alvast maar...

Edan - Rock and Roll




Diverse verwijzingen naar artiesten, albums en nummers.

"The Riders of the Storm enter when Doors open
To bring raw dosage in the form of swarm locusts
Beatles and Birds that seem evil and absurd
Gather with The Eagles that swerve to form herds
Butterflies made of Iron ride the horizon
Giving Credence to the Revival of Poseidon
Who feeds in the Clearwater, you feel slaughter
But Lovecraft author pens the horror for tomorrow
Zombies and walking dead stalk the Talking Heads
Insects with awkward legs haunt with awful dread
All along the web the thread remains rare
With bloodshed that led to where the Little Feat fled
To lost places, thoughts lost for all ages
Where Small Faces sit on the walls of tall Mazes
That overlook the 13th Floor with long gazes
Connected to the earthly core through elevators
Check it, the Underground is made of Velvet
Where buttersoft brothers talk tough on wax but ain't sell shit
Every cracka that rap, ain't the Elvis
My Aqualung cultivates the blue oyster shellfish
I design my Pearls Before Swine
And form rhymes that take you to a world before time
Where Living Things coexisted with Crimson Kings
Who on the Moon's Dark Side painted pretty things
That illustrated lessons conceived by the mothers of invention
Who also built the Stairway To Heaven, it's a present
Only to be stolen by a Thief, the Judas Preist
Who unleash his devil magic
My mental fabric too thick for Lenny Kravitz
Who imitates Jimi Hendrix in every facette
Semi-Automatic Rap Heavy Metal Jackets
Kill with mathematics to build with Black Sabbath"

Mylo - Destroy Rock & Roll

All perversions of the third eye
through distorted and exaggerated images,
perverted movements of the body and breakdancing,
and other forms of dancing,
and we especially call for the judgement in this hour
and the destroying of rock music directed
specifically against children
through the videos that were portrayed,
and working specifically through these individuals,
for whom we call for
the judgement of the sacred fire of this hour,
before the throne of almighty god,

The Reynold Girls - I'd Rather Jack

All we wanna' do is have a good time
Then you went and took our hearts away
And no-one ever asks us our opinion, no no, we don't get a say
Am, fm all of that jazz, we'd rather sing along with yazz
Whatever happened to the radio ?
They never play the songs we know

Golden oldies, rolling stones, we don't want them back
I'd rather jack, than fleetwood mac
No heavy metal, rock 'n' roll, music from the past
I'd rather jack, to fleetwood mac

Can't they see that every generation, has music for its own identity ?
So why's the dj on the radio station, always more than twice the age of me ?
Who needs pink floyd or dire straits, it's not our music that's out of date ?
Demographic stereo, they never play the songs we know

Golden Earring verwees natuurlijk naar Brenda Lee, maar er bestaat ook een Amerikaanse song waarin verwezen wordt naar Golden Earring. Het is een albumtrack van het titelloze debuut van de groep Bad English (opgebouwd rond John Waite en Neal Schon) uit 1989, een groot verkoopsucces in de VS.

Op het nummer Rockin' horse zingen ze:

"Golden Earring on the radio,
Radar love is coming through"

Radar Love (en in mindere mate Twilight zone) is dan ook een instituut in de VS. Het wordt tot op de dag van vandaag gedraaid op alle classic rock stations. Iedere Amerikaan die ook maar een beetje in muziek is geïnteresseerd, kent Radar Love. Niet slecht voor een bandje uit dat kleine landje aan de Noordzee...

Thelonious Monster - Song for a Politically Correct Girl From the Valley

Zanger Bob Forrest over zijn ex-vriendin:
a feminist girlfriend who runs off with some faggot from the Posies

"Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening"

Steely Dan in 'Everything you did', op het album The Royal Scam.

Aangenomen wordt dat deze tekst de reden is dat de Eagles in het nummer Hotel California refereren aan 'steely knives'.

Dit zegt Wikipedia daarover:

According to Glenn Frey's liner notes for The Very Best of Eagles, the use of the word "steely" in the lyric (referring to knives) was a playful nod to band Steely Dan, who had included the lyric "Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening" in their song "Everything You Did."

Volbeat - Wild Rovers of Hell.

Een mooie verwijzing naar Metallica. Op de achtergrond hoor je een krachtige riff die aan Metallica doet denken. Hell yeah!:D

Driving the highway with nothing to do
Future fading away
The stereo is pumping Metallica tunes
Ride the lightning, oh yeah
The car might be stolen,my clothes smell like dirt
Born to ramble and play
Play with fire, drunk and denial
Always in for a fight

Ik kom er net een tegen...

I had a dream you were still alive.. playing Mozart records in the basement.. and you whistled like you always did, when it hit your favourite part.

in Dad van Venetian Sanres

ook Porcupine Tree - Pure Narcotic
You keep me listening to the bends

Wilco - Heavy Metal Drummer
I miss the innocence I've known
Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned

Ik kwam er laatst ook nog eentje tegen in een nummer van Belle & Sebastian. Volgens mij in I'm A Cuckoo, en iets met Thin Lizzy, even opzoeken.

Edit: gevonden

I'd rather be in Tokyo
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Cheap Trick in het nummer "Surrender":

When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Mac lethal - Calm Down Baby

I used to like Tool 'till they made the same album that they made the last time they made the same album. Everytime they make a damn album it's the same album really, and only stoners listen to their music, it's silly.

wat een heerlijke lines van Mac .
