| Tool – No Quarter (Led Zeppelin cover) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Sorry HurricaneJoker, but thats the way I see it. Hendrix was a damn good guitaris and set a standard, but there are a lots of folks out there that are just better, in my opinion anyway. Also just because you don't idolize Hendrix doesn't mean you don't play, I've been playing for about four or five years now. So get real HurricaneJoker, other people have opinions too, as a musician, if you are one, you should know this. I do agree with you though with out Zeppelin there would be no TOOL, or any other band like that. | |
| Led Zeppelin – The Battle of Evermore Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This is how I interpret the song. It goes verse by verse, and yes I do think it is based on LOTR. I would also like to say that I don't think LOTR is based on WWII or Christianity, I think it is just a great fantasy story which just so happened to be written by a Christian who served in WWII. I wold also like to address the statement of the members of Led Zeppelin being Satanist, They were not Satanist they were Roman-Catholics, Jimmy Page had this fascination with the occult but didn't practice any kind of magic, if you don't believe me look it up in any interview that has been done with him he says he has a strong faith in God and that he is just interested in the "dark side". Any way on with the song. Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go, (Galadriel passes her test and retreats to the Gray Havens, or Eowyn bids farewell to Aragorn) The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone. (Aragorn knowing that he is the true king of Gondor takes the paths of the dead to enlist the help of the army of the dead knowing this to be the only way to win the battle) Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. (The Elves are leaving Middle-Earth) The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all. (Sauron's power grows stronger as the ring passes into the land of Mordor and now everything depends on Frodo and Sam making it to Mount Doom to destroy the ring) Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes. (A warning to the common folk who really don't know what is going on) Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all. (The armies of men now wait for Sauron's army in Minas Tirith) I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow, I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow. (The army of Rohan comes to the aid of Gondor, Avalon is indeed a reference to King Arthur Myth but I think Plant was using it to refer to the Riders of Rohan as a saving grace to Gondor, "waiting for the eastern glow" This refers more to The battle of Helms Deep than Pelenor Fields, Gandalf tells Aragorn "Look to my coming at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East." And Gandalf showed up with the Riders of Rohan to help turn the tide of the battle at Helms Deep. Or it could just mean that they are waiting for the darkness to break and the sun to shine in because the Orcs in Sauron's army can't stay in the light for very long) The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness, (This is referring to the Hobbits, they live for simple things. It doesn't take much to make them content.) The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no. (This is speaking of the Valar and the Elves.) Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light. (Once again Elves) The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red. (Refers back to the Hobbits. As Sauron's power grows all good things start to die and decay, even the Shire.) The tyrant's face is red. (Either Denethor or Sauron. Denethor: He is going mad because he has looked into the palantir and he thinks there is no way to defeat Sauron's army, he has also lost his favorite son Boromir and thinks that his son Faramir is dying, He goes into a fit of rage and kills himself. Sauron: Knowing that the Witch King has been defeated he know senses defeat.) Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly. (Speaking of all creatures from around Middle-Earth good and bad have some part to play in this war.) The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know. (It says in the books that the Great Eagles and the Nazgul circled above the city of Minas Tirith as the war went on the only beings that knew of this were Sauron and Gandalf who are not mortals they are Isantari) Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow, (self explanatory) Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow. (Much like the verse I wrote about a while back) The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath, (During the war King Theoden was killed and many men were lost from Gondor and Rohan) The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on. (self explanatory, oooo Ringwraiths!) Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before. (Speaking of the Elves who came by sea to help in the fight.) No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold. (self explanatory) Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. (ELVES) The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back. (This is about the ring. In order for peace to be brought to Middle-Earth Frodo had to destroy the ring which was gold and had elvish runes on it which read "One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them." or in black speech "Ash nazg durbatuluk, Ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatuluk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul" At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by, (As Sauron's army is defeated the darkness of Mordor which has rolled over the free lands of Middle-Earth break.) With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes. (This could mean that the army of Mordor is the dragon of darkness and as the sun light hits them they flee for Mordor.) |

| Rammstein – Klavier Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| This is probably my favorite song by Rammstein. A song of lost love is what it is. Some times you cant rally tell what Till is trying to get through with his lyrics because he uses so many double meanings. But definately this has to be one of their best. | |

| Rammstein – Du Hast Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Of course every Rammstein fan has to post about Du Hast. Du Hast does mean You Have but the band changed it to You Hate in the english version because they thought it would apeal better to the American public....and it worked apparently. I love Rammstein. Rammstein kicks so much ass! |

| I love Creed now dont get me wrong but I think that with this album they have sold out......I'm sorry to say it and i know some people are gonna get mad at me for saying it but its true you cant watch any thing on the band anymore with out seeing Scott Stapp in a Screamline shirt or Tremonti in a Third Rail cap... It seems like since Brian Marshall left the band they went all for merchandising.....I like this song though....Its not my favorite type of Creed song but its a really good song....(lil to much radio play but who cares | |

| Cold – Gone Away Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| God I love this song. This has to be one of the best songs that i have heard in a really long time. I started listening to this song when i was going threw some really hard times. This song just basically symbolized what i was going threw and that is why i have such a connection with it. | |
