Back To The Roots - CD/DVD

[John]

here's the first release from the DVD of the final tour. to me it's too slow but this must be the way Udo wants it. just for reference, this live version is 227BPM and the studio version on the Accept - Breaker album is 240BPM.

[Stas]

Sounds great.

Gotta have cd for sure.

Btw "spider stuff" detected - ruling just like spider. Common men are not keen on spiders, though its widely spreaded in media.

[John]

what?!? i don't get what you mean about the spiders. sorry. can you explain further? maybe things are lost in translation.

[Stas]

Well, its an interesting point.

Accept touched this stuff at least for twice in Breaker ( moving like a spider killing of a fly ) and in Black widow from Animal house.

They tell about breaker ( evil that is unlike to creator ) like of a spider.

We can very often see this stuff.
For instance , i really recommend new album of Lee Aaron " Fire and gasoline", it is surprisingly good. So I started to get into about her music.

Here is her famous video " Metal Queen" -

link

It depicts the same all story of the big part of movies - spider sitting on human remains, reptile, Lee Aaron as the big spider and a battle against men, priests and machines.


Some more examples? Ok. Alice Cooper " Along came the spider " singing " i am the spider" .


The media industry sometimes is a highway to hell -and heads roll in the streets.


To have a good start, singers are to be a part of secret society like famous bohemian one in california , often having no happiness.


Queen, bohemian rhapsodyby freddy mercury -




Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

( he is taliking about what he did to his life having " killed" himself )


Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

( nothing really matters for dead soul)

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

( so he came to judgement day )


I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

( demons with TheiR lightings and wierd voices against angels who try to protect the guy)

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go let me go


Will not let you go let me go (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me

( the strongest place in music and in meaning -

He challenges people :. )

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye

( than he challenges God : )


So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me

( dead end )



The vital theosophic problem is : can God kill sinner if he loves this sinner.

And this is the challenge -hero of the song remained the sinner.

[John]

hahahaha ok, i get it now. there are all kinds of examples.

[Tomcat]

Heard the second song, Midnight Highway and I still don't like what I hear... Udo seems to be the original singer but not the original voice anymore.

[John]

well, he is twice as heavy (weight) as he used to be and 3 times as old so it's probably not easy to hit those notes anymore. i saw the same thing with Lou Gramm from Foreigner, he can't hit any of the notes anymore because he's so heavy and older now. i heard Mark Tornillo tell me a line once where he said that he learned not to "sing himself into a corner" by doing things now that will be impossible to duplicate later. good advice.

[Tomcat]

That can be true but at least the original ACCEPT songs are still great as they are. This Dirkschneider recording is just... what can I say?

[mikel]

Nowadays I may prefer Udo´s new stuff over Accept. I mean, Accept has gone so many line-up changes that it has indeed become more of a Wolf Hoffmann-band. Now Peter gone, it´s good that Mark is still there.

Its just beciase new UDO album is very good beeing played and composed togetherwith a pro orchesrtra. Its an album of ages imho.

And ues, exile of Baltes from Accept shows Hoffman as a real Wolf. Still as Wilf have put a little sample from aconing album, its sounds very bassy and acceptish.

PS. We want our heroes to be perfect while they are just men, sometimes mean and weak in he dark side of their hearts.

[Tomcat]

Aye... This ACCEPT is not that ACCEPT anymore. Still I hope the new album will be good.

It's not about men. It's about music. If music is good it's same who is doing it.

[John]

well, if you think about it, wolf writes everything (musicwise) anyway so it's not going to change much. the addition of the 3rd guitarist is questionable though, considering all the parts are written by one man. i don't know. i remember the music world being less for all those years without wolf's guitar playing in it. the reformation of Accept was a great shot in the arm so i'm glad he's back. Mark sure helps A LOT! and having christopher on drums was a great addition. other than wolf and mark, i don't see the other 4 guys adding much, and i'm sure wolf wouldn't allow it even if they tried. i still wish they would've named the band something else though. just my opinion.

[Tomcat]

I'm afraid Wolf makes the same mistake that Stefan made during the -tor era. Writing everything alone is not a good idea. The songs will be similar and boring.

[Stas]

As Mark described it, a process of composing was going like this : “Peter calls me from time to time saying : how do You like this tune? If I do , I start making vocals”

It shows Baltes as a main generator of ideas but Baltes worked togetherwith Mark. And them Wolf started howling on his guitar. Without Baltes we can get even less Accept then on Eat The Heat.

From the other hand , I think that Mark, Chris and Andy Sneap are grown up enough as musicians and they can make good original album.
