(Bon Jovi)


This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for faith-departed- And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud. It's my life It's now or never But I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, "I did it my way" I just want to live while I'm alive It's my life. Yeah, this is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down. Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks. It's my life And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, "I did it my way" I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life. Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down. It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, "I did it my way" I just want to live while I'm alive. And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, "I did it my way" I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life.

DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT (Thin Lizzy)

 "DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT (IT'S CAUGHT ME IN IT'S SPOLIGHT"

50.- Día 15 de Agosto de 2020.

Bueno pues ésta es ya la entrada número 50 de mi blog, cifra redonda, cuando empecé nunca pensé llegar a tantas y que me fuera a dar tanto trabajo, jajaja, es broma, este blog lo hago por gusto así que mientras pueda seguir disfrutando tocando la batería y subiendo canciones, seguiré publicando. He escogido para la ocasión la canción “DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT (IT’S CAUGHT ME IN IT’S SPOTLIGHT)” de la banda irlandesa “THIN LIZZY”, es una canción que me gusta y que toco con mis compañer@s del grupo “SMOKE SELLERS BAND”. La canción formó parte de “BAD REPUTATION”, octavo álbum de estudio de la banda, grabado en Toronto (Canadá), lanzado al mercado en el año 1977 y que posteriormente se vendió como disco sencillo llegando al puesto número 14 en ventas en el Reino Unido ese mismo año.

THIN LIZZY se formó en 1969 en Dublín siendo los miembros fundadores Phil Lynott (Voz y bajo) y Brian Downey (Batería) pero por la banda han pasado bastantes músicos a lo largo de su trayectoria, entre ellos destacar al excepcional guitarrista Gary Moore. Lynott fue realmente el líder de la banda y el compositor de la mayoría de los temas además de ser el primer irlandés de color en conseguir un gran éxito en el mundo musical, la desgracia es que falleció en el año 1986 con tan solo 36 años. A partir de ahí entraron diversos músicos por la formación pero nunca fue lo mismo. Destacar que la banda estaba incluida por músicos multirraciales, católicos y protestantes dentro de una etapa en la que el conflicto de Irlanda del Norte estaba en auge. En cuanto a su sonido, el grupo podríamos etiquetarlo como banda de HARD ROCK, aunque recibe influencias del ROCK PSICODÉLICO, del SOUL, del POP, del BLUES e incluso de la música CELTA IRLANDESA; y de músicos como Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger y Jeff Beck, entre otros.

Los músicos que participaron en la grabación del álbum BAD REPUTATION fueron: Phil Lynott (Voz, bajo y armónica); Brian Downey (Batería); Scott Grham (Guitarra), Brian Robertson (Guitarra y teclados), John Helliwell (Saxofón y clarinete); y Mary Hopkin-Visconti (Coros).

Well, this is already the 50th entry of my blog, round number, when I started I never thought I would reach so many and that it would give me so much work, hahaha, just kidding, I do this blog for fun so while I can continue to enjoy playing drums and uploading songs, I'll keep posting. I have chosen for the occasion the song "DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT (IT'S CAUGHT ME IN IT'S SPOTLIGHT)" by the Irish band "THIN LIZZY", it is a song that I like and that I play with my colleagues from the group "SMOKE SELLERS BAND ”. The song was part of “BAD REPUTATION”, the band's eighth studio album, recorded in Toronto (Canada), released in 1977 and later sold as a single album, reaching number 14 in sales in the United Kingdom. Joined that same year.

 THIN LIZZY was formed in 1969 in Dublin with the founding members Phil Lynott (Voice and Bass) and Brian Downey (Drums), but many musicians have passed through the band throughout its trajectory, among them the exceptional guitarist Gary Moore. Lynott was really the leader of the band and the composer of most of the songs, besides being the first Irishman of color to achieve great success in the musical world, the misfortune is that he passed away in 1986 with only 36 years . From then on, various musicians entered the group but it was never the same. Note that the band was included by multiracial musicians, Catholics and Protestants at a time when the conflict in Northern Ireland was on the rise. Regarding its sound, the group could be labeled as a HARD ROCK band, although it receives influences from PSYCHODELIC ROCK, SOUL, POP, BLUES and even IRISH CELTIC music; and from musicians such as Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger and Jeff Beck, among others.

 The musicians who participated in the recording of the album BAD REPUTATION were: Phil Lynott (Voice, bass and harmonica); Brian Downey (Drums); Scott Grham (Guitar), Brian Robertson (Guitar and keyboards), John Helliwell (Saxophone and clarinet); and Mary Hopkin-Visconti (Backing vocals).

"DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT" .

 (Thin Lizzy)

When I passed you in the doorway well,

you took me with a glance

I should've took that last bus home

but I asked you for a dance.

 

Now we go steady to the pictures

I always get chocolate stains on my pants

and my father, he's going crazy

he says I'm livin' in a trance.

 

But I'm dancing in the moonlight

It's caught me in its spotlight (It's alright, alright)

Dancing in the moonlight

On this long, hot summer night.

 

It's three o'clock in the morning

and I'm on the streets again

I disobeyed another warning

I should've been in by ten.

 

Now I won't get out until Sunday

I'll have to say I stayed with friends

Oh, but it's a habit worth forming

if it means to justify the end.

 

Dancing in the moonlight

It's caught me in its spotlight (It's alright, alright)

Dancing in the moonlight

On this long, hot summer night.

 

And I'm walking home

the last bus has long gone

but I'm dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight

It's caught me in its spotlight (It's alright, alright)

Dancing in the moonlight

On this long, hot summer night

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)

It's caught me in its spotlight (it's caught me in in it's spotlight)

Dancing in the moonlight (dancing in the moonlight)

On this long, hot summer night (it's got me hot)

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)

It's caught me in its spotlight (it's caught me alright) (it's alright, alright)

Dancing in the moonlight (alright, alright, alright, alright)

On this long, hot summer night (got so goddamn hot)

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing)

It's caught me in its spotlight (I'm still dancing)

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)

On this long, hot summer night.

SWEET CHILD O'MINE (GUNS N'ROSES)

"SWEET CHILD O'MINE"


48.- Día 26 de Julio de 2020.

Hoy le toca el turno a la canción posiblemente mas conocida de la banda californiana de Hard-Rock "GUNS N'ROSES", (Con la voz característica de Axl Rose y la inconfundible guitarra de Slash). Se trata de "SWEET CHILD O'MINE" (Que traducido sería algo así como "Mi dulce niña"). 

Curiosamente el grupo publicó el álbum "Appetite For Destruction" en julio de 1987 y en principio su llegada al mercado fue un desastre, lanzaron un primer single "It's So Easy", un segundo "Welcome To The Jungle" y tampoco funcionaron pero dicen que a la tercera va la vencida así que "SWEET CHILD O'MINE" fue lanzada como tercer single del álbum al mercado en agosto de 1988 consiguiendo catapultar a la banda a lo mas alto ya que llegó al número 1 de la lista Billboard Hot 100 en los EEUU, así como al número 6 de singles en el Reino Unido. De hecho actualmente el álbum "Appetite For Destruction" lleva vendidas mas de 35 millones de copias, ahí queda eso. Entre otros reconocimientos la canción llegó al número 37 de la lista de "Guitar World" de los "100 mejores solos de guitarra", así como el número 198 de las "500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos" de la revista "Rolling Stone".

En esencia "SWEET CHILD O'MINE" es una canción de amor de una banda de rock, para escribir la letra Axl Rose se basó en una poesía que estaba escribiendo a la que en ese momento era su novia Erin Everly, (Aunque después se casaron y finalmente aquello terminó como el rosario de la aurora). En el vídeoclip oficial aparece la banda ensayando en Huntington Park y salen todas las novias en ese momento de los integrantes de la banda, como curiosidad cuando estaban grabando la canción al escuchar la demo y buscando un final adecuado Axl se preguntaba "¿A donde vamos, adonde vamos ahora?" y finalmente se incorporó ese texto a la letra de la canción en la bajada antes de la subida final. También comentar que por razones comerciales, sobre todo para su emisión en programas de radio la canción se acortó y pasó de casi 6 minutos  a 3:42  eliminando parte del conocido solo lento de guitarra de Slash, motivo que no gusto nada a la banda pero que facilitó llegar a un sector de la audiencia mas amplio, mas podríamos decir "Pop" no tan acostumbrado a largos solos de guitarra y por tanto a tener mucha mas repercusión mediática.

En cuanto a la banda creo que no precisa demasiada presentación, decir que se formó en marzo de 1985 en la ciudad de Los Ángeles (California), que ha vendido más de 150 millones de discos con una repercusión a nivel mundial, que forma parte del "Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll" y que por ejemplo fue posicionada por la revista Rolling Stone en el número 21 de la lista de "Los 100 mejores artistas de la historia".

En su formación original estaban 5 músicos de grupos diferentes, uno de ellos L.A. GUNS y otro era HOLLYWOOD ROSE, así que usando una combinación de ambos nombres bautizaron a la nueva banda como "GUNS N'ROSES". (William Bruce Bailey, más conocido por su nombre artístico como Axl Rose (Voz y teclados), Tracii Guns (Guitarrra solista), Izzy Stradlin (Guitarra rítmica y coros), Ole Beich (Bajo) y Rob Gardner (Batería).

En cuanto a su formación actual, esta liderada por Axl Rose (Voz) y Slash (Guitarra solista), acompañados por Richard Fortus (Guitarra rítmica), Duff McKagan (Bajo), Melissa Reese y Dizzy Reed (Teclados) y Frank Ferrer (Batería).

TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:

Today is the turn of the possibly best known song of the Californian Hard-Rock band "GUNS N'ROSES", (With the characteristic voice of Axl Rose and the unmistakable guitar of Slash). It is about "SWEET CHILD O'MINE" (which translated would be something like "My sweet girl").

Curiously, the group published the album "Appetite For Destruction" in July 1987 and in principle its arrival on the market was a disaster, they released a first single "It's So Easy", a second "Welcome To The Jungle" and they didn't work either but they say the third time is the charm so "SWEET CHILD O'MINE" was released as the third single from the album to the market in August 1988, managing to catapult the band to the top as it reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, as well as number 6 singles in the UK. In fact currently the album "Appetite For Destruction" has sold more than 35 million copies, there it is. Among other recognitions, the song reached number 37 of the "Guitar World" list of the "100 best guitar solos", as well as number 198 of the "500 best songs of all time" of the magazine "Rolling Stone". .

In essence "SWEET CHILD O'MINE" is a love song by a rock band, to write the lyrics Axl Rose was based on a poem he was writing to his girlfriend Erin Everly at that time, (Although later married and finally that ended as the rosary of dawn). In the official video clip the band appears rehearsing in Huntington Park and all the girlfriends of the band members appear at that time, as a curiosity when they were recording the song when listening to the demo and looking for a suitable ending. Axl wondered "Where are we going? , where do we go now?" and finally that text was incorporated into the lyrics of the song on the descent before the final climb. Also comment that for commercial reasons, especially for broadcast on radio programs, the song was shortened and went from almost 6 minutes to 3:42, eliminating part of the well-known slow guitar solo from Slash, a reason that the band did not like anything but which made it easier to reach a wider audience sector, but we could say "Pop" not so used to long guitar solos and therefore to have much more media coverage.

 As for the band I think it does not need too much presentation, to say that it was formed in March 1985 in the city of Los Angeles (California), which has sold more than 150 million records with an impact worldwide, which is part of the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" and, for example, was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine at number 21 on the list of "The 100 best artists in history."

In its original formation there were 5 musicians from different groups, one of them L.A. GUNS and another was HOLLYWOOD ROSE, so using a combination of both names they christened the new band "GUNS N'ROSES". (William Bruce Bailey, better known by his stage name as Axl Rose (Vocals and keyboards), Tracii Guns (Lead guitar), Izzy Stradlin (Rhythm guitar and backing vocals), Ole Beich (Bass), and Rob Gardner (Drums).

As for their current line-up, it is led by Axl Rose (Vocals) and Slash (Lead Guitar), accompanied by Richard Fortus (Rhythm Guitar), Duff McKagan (Bass), Melissa Reese and Dizzy Reed (Keyboards) and Frank Ferrer (Drums).

She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky.
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry.

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine.

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain.
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain to quietly pass me by.

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine.

Where do we go?
(Where do we go now?)
Oh where do we go now? (Where do we go?)
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Oh where do we go now?
Ay ay ay ay (where do we go now, where do we go)
Oh where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go?
Oh where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?

No, no, no, no, no, no
Sweet child
Sweet child of mine.

PARANOID - (BLACK SABBATH)

"PARANOID"

17.- Llegó el otoño, octubre y vuelvo al blog con una nueva entrada, en esta ocasión dedicada a los grupos de hard-rock con sonido potente con origen en los años setenta. He elegido un tema sugerido por mi hermano, en concreto se trata de la versión original del tema "PARANOID" de la banda británica de rock duro "BLACK SABBATH", grupo que influyó notablemente para lo que posteriormente fue considerado como sonido "heavy metal". De este modo, en el año 2005 la banda fue incluida en el Salón de la Fama del Rock.

La banda fue formada en el año 1968 en Birmingham por Ozzy Osbourne (vocalista), Tony Lommi (guitarra), Beezer Butler (bajo) y Bill Ward (batería), aunque durante su existencia han pasado mas de 25 componentes diferentes, destacando entre otros a James Dio (vocalista de Raimbow) o Ian Gillan (vocalista de Deep Purple).

El álbum PARANOID fue el segundo de la banda y en principio iba a llamarse "War Pigs" por la canción con el mismo nombre que criticaba la guerra de Vietnam pero la Warner Bros cambió el título a "Paranoid" por temor a que hubieran represalias por parte de los partidarios del conflicto bélico. Finalmente el álbum consiguió 4 certificaciones de platino, llegando a vender mas de 75 millones de discos y la canción con el mismo título fue publicada como sencillo en septiembre de 1970 alcanzando el puesto número 4 en las listas británicas, número 1 en Alemania y el número 2 en los Paises Bajos, Suiza y Bélgica. La revista Rolling Stone colocó a esta canción en el puesto número 250 en su lista de las 500 mejores canciones. En la lista de VH1 la canción ocupó la posición número 34 en su lista de las 40 mejores canciones de heavy metal y puesto número 4 en la lista VH1 Greatest Hard Rock Songs en el año 2009. La revista Q colocó la canción en el puesto 11 de su lista de las 100 mejores canciones de guitarra. En el libro The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time de Martin Popoff aparece como la mejor canción de heavy metal de todos los tiempos.

En cuanto a versiones podemos destacar las siguientes: Mötley Crüe, Type O  Negative, Avenged Sevefold o el grupo de Thrash Metal Megadeth. También ha sido utilizada la canción en los juegos Guitar Hero III, Legends of Rock y Rock Band.

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind


people think i'm insane because i am frowning all the time.


All day long i think of things but nothing seems to satisfy


think i'll lose my mind if i don't find something to pacify


Can you help me! occupy my brain!? Oh yeah!


I need someone to show me the things in life that i can't find


i can't see the things that make true happiness, i must be blind.


Make a joke and i will sigh and you will laugh and i will cry


happiness i cannot feel and love to me us so unreal.


And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state


i tell you to enjoy life i wish i could but it's too late.

HEROES - (DAVID BOWIE)

"HEROES"

15.- Hoy le dedico mi humilde homenaje al genio del rock británico David Robert Jones conocido por su nombre artístico como "DAVID BOWIE" (que desgraciadamente nos dejó este año (8/1/1947 - 10/1/2016) aunque siempre estará con nosotros a través de sus canciones) realizando un drum cover del tema "HEROES". Aprovecho la ocasión para darle las gracias a mi hermano mayor (José Vicente) por tener tan buen gusto, ya que gracias a los discos en vinilo que él compraba pude conocer siendo un adolescente a Bowie y otras bandas de hard rock de los 70 como Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Bad Company, etc.

Bowie fue un adelantado a su época, muy innovador, con un estilo muy personal, rompiendo muchos cánones establecidos y también muy polifacético (músico, cantante, productor, arreglista y actor, entre otras facetas artísticas).

En el año 2002 la cadena de televisión BBC realizó una encuesta de los 100 británicos más importantes y colocó a Bowie en el puesto número 29. Ha vendido unos 136 millones de discos a lo largo de su carrera. Ha recibido 9 discos de platino,11 de oro y 8 de plata en el Reino Unido y 5 de platino y 7 de oro en Estados Unidos. En 2004, la revista Rolling Stone le posicionó en el puesto número 39 de su lista de los cien artistas de rock más importantes de todos los tiempos y en el puesto 23 de su lista de los mejores cantantes de todos los tiempos.

El tema "HEROES" fue incluido en el álbum con el mismo nombre "HEROES" publicado en 1977 en el Reino Unido donde alcanzó el puesto número 24 del UK singles chart y el número 8 en Irlanda, entre otros. La letra fue escrita entre Bowie y Brian Eno.

La canción ha sido versioneada y cantada en varios idiomas por muchísimos grupos tales como: Peter Gabriel, The Wallflowers, Oasis, Blondie, Bon Jovi, King Crimson, The Samshing Pumpkins e incluso el Dj David Guetta con el título "Just for One Day (Heroes), en castellano Parálisis Permanente, Richard Coleman, Fricción y Los Mecánicos, entre otros.

He elegido la canción interpretada en directo por Bowie en un concierto del año 2002 en París. También he añadido posteriormente una versión tocada con mi grupo de pop-rock LUBALLY ROAD el 16/02/19, muchas gracias a mis compañeros: Christine Torelló (Vocalista), Pedro Sabater (Guitarra) y Andrés Palencia (Bajo).

15.- Today I dedicate my humble tribute to the genius of British rock David Robert Jones known by his stage name as "DAVID BOWIE" (who unfortunately left us this year (1/8/1947 - 1/10/2016) although he will always be with us through their songs) performing a drum cover of the song "HEROES". I take this opportunity to thank my older brother (José Vicente) for having such good taste, since thanks to the vinyl records he bought I was able to meet Bowie and other hard rock bands from the 70s like Led as a teenager. Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Bad Company, etc.

Bowie was ahead of his time, very innovative, with a very personal style, breaking many established canons and also very versatile (musician, singer, producer, arranger and actor, among other artistic facets).

In 2002 the BBC television network conducted a poll of the 100 most important British people and placed Bowie at number 29. He has sold some 136 million records over the course of his career. He has received 9 platinum, 11 gold and 8 silver records in the UK and 5 platinum and 7 gold in the United States. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him 39th on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Artists of All Time and 23rd on its list of the Greatest Singers of All Time.

The song "HEROES" was included in the album with the same name "HEROES" released in 1977 in the United Kingdom where it reached number 24 on the UK singles chart and number 8 in Ireland, among others. The lyrics were written between Bowie and Brian Eno.

The song has been covered and sung in several languages ​​by many groups such as: Peter Gabriel, The Wallflowers, Oasis, Blondie, Bon Jovi, King Crimson, The Samshing Pumpkins and even Dj David Guetta with the title "Just for One Day ( Heroes), in Spanish Permanent Paralysis, Richard Coleman, Friction and Los Mecánicos, among others.

I have chosen the song performed live by Bowie at a 2002 concert in Paris. I have also later added a version played with my pop-rock group LUBALLY ROAD on 02/16/19, many thanks to my colleagues: Christine Torelló (Vocalist), Pedro Sabater (Guitar) and Andrés Palencia (Bass).

LETRA:
“HEROES
(DAVID BOWIE)

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What'd you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
