Биография группы

(продолжение)

 

     Все выше сказанное, однако, выяснилось позже, а тогда, после выхода пластинки, в феврале 1981 года сново нужно было ехать на гастроли и дальше раскручивать колесо успеха. Несмотря на относительную неудачу с последней пластинкой, публика шла на концерты охотно, ибо память народная ёмка, пополняется она медленно и постепенно, держит долго и готова по мелочи прощать. Тем более, что новый вариант концерта, который Judas Priest привезли, отличался от всего ранее виденного. Обычно это действо выглядело так - открывается занавес, на сцене инструментальная аппаратура, шкафы разные, усилители, провода, стойки и так далее. Когда же раздавались первые такты Джудаспристовской музыки, удивленный американский зритель не усматривал на сцене не только привычных деревянных коробов, но и самих музыкантов. И вот откуда-то из сценического поднебесья опускали невидимой гидравлической рукой двух бойцов- гитаристов, которые наяривали вступление на шестиструнках, но без соединительных шнуров. Сегодня техника встроенных передатчиков и радиомикрофонов всем известна, никого ею уже не удивишь. Но тогда, в феврале 1981 года, это было относительной новинкой. Новинкой, введенной отчасти из-за практических соображений. Дело в том, что гитарист, связанный проводом как пуповиной с усилителем ограничен им не только сам, но и товарища своего по группе может в него запутать. А бывает еще и того хуже, вот на одном из концертов предыдущих американских гастролей, после обьявления, Judas Priest вылетели на сцену эдаким легким скоком. А гитарист К.К.Даунинг, зацепившись ногой за один из многочисленных шнуров, растянулся плашмя носом на глазах у всего многотысячного честного народа. Ну вот и разыгрывай после этого роль недосягаемого рок'н'рольного идола. Но вернемся к концерту. Новая постановка, свет, режиссура принесли свои плоды. Judas Priest принимали в Америке тепло, и не только в Техасе или на Среднем Западе, в традиционных оплотах тяжелого металла, но и в остальных крупных городах страны повсеместно.

     Хотел бы здесь заметить, что слово работа в английском языке имеет большей частью положительный подтекст. Если, скажем, музыкант,актер, врач или водопроводчик имеют много работы - значит, что они нужны, популярны, и им готовы платить. Стоит ли удивлятся, что Judas Priest, проведшие несколько лет в полуголодном инкубационно-репетиционном периоде, теперь просто не могли остановиться. Они работали. Начав гастроли в феврале, они молотили до самого конца лета. В ноябре предстояли гастроли у себя дома. Волновались. Как примут?
Выяснилось, что волновались зря. Приняли как героев. Ранней осенью, в бархатный сезон, заехали на любимый свой Испанский остров, записали фонограмму к нескольким песням. Потом, после ноябрьских гастролей 1981 года и рождества, приехали туда снова, чтобы дооформить материал в альбом. Но вместе с работой пришло отрезвление, сознание того, что записанные за несколько месяцев до того фонограммы не годятся, что все надо начинать сначала. Второй раз ошибаться не хотелось. Потому что второй подряд провальный альбом мог оказаться самоубийственным. И тут уж к делу отнеслись серьезно. Несколько месяцев провели тогда на опустевшем от безсезонья острове. И лишь по весне, убедившись, что материал пластинки их полностью устраивает, повезли многодорожечную болванку в студию во Флориде. Результатом этого кропотливого труда стала пластинка "Screaming for vengeance"(Вопль об отмщении), занявшая достойное место в тяжметовской продукции 1982 года.

The Hellion

(Instrumental)

Electric Eye

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Protected. Detective. Electric eye

Riding On The Wind

Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light
Glowin god of Mars
Body burning bright

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Thunderbolt from hell
Shattering aloud
Screamin' demons yell
Bursting through the clouds

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Bloodstone

I've been trying
There's no denying
It's sending me
Out of my mind

I've seen reason
Change to treason
It's losing it's sense
Of all kind

How much longer will it take
For the world to see
We should learn to live
And simply let it be
Bloodstone, bloodstone

In the night time
Wake in fright
I'm so scared of the game
That's being played

Start to wonder
What's going under
And how many deals
Have been made

How much longer will it take
For the world to see
We should learn to live
And simply let it be
Bloodstone, bloodstone

Bloodstone
I can't take it
You got me living
On a bloodstone
I don't want that that bloodstone

(Take These) Chains

(Written by Rob Halligan Jr.)

I move away it don't do me no good
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would
Help me, beggin' you please
You got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life
Leave me be

Take these chains off
Take 'em off my heart

Reach out to me, as if from the grave
I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave
It's my fault loving you so
You were so precious, how could I know
You turned mean overnight
Poor poor me

Take these chains off
Take 'em off my heart

I don't owe you anything
Why don't you get out of my life
Through it all the memories cling
And I can't sleep at night

Help me I'm beggin' you please
You've got the power, down on my knees
Give me some kind of life
Leave me be

Take these chains off
Take 'em off my heart

Pain And Pleasure

I wanna tell ya, hey I think you oughta know
The way you're treating me, I feel I'll have ta go
I've heard the rumours and it seems they're comin' true
You do what suits ya, but then that's nothin' new

Do what you wanna do
Oh what you put me through
How I suffer for your love
Say what you wanna say
You know that you're gonna pay
For all the times that I've cried

You give me pain, but you bring me pleasure
Get out of my life
You bring me pain, but you give me pleasure
Don't know what I like

You've got me tied up, dog upon a leash
Instead of messin' round, practice what you preach
Your days are numbered, my day's arrived
The way I see it, we're dead or we're alive

You give me pain, but you bring me pleasure
Get out of my life
You bring me pain, but you give me pleasure
Don't know what I like

Screaming For Vengeance

Hey listen don't yhou let 'em get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right
They're playing at a game that draws you closer
Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear

Always takin' baby out that's o.k.
What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me
Told you once you're never gonna win the race
Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face

We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace

Tie a blindfold all around your head
Spin you round in the torture before the dread
And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner
Then they lead you out into the final slaughter

As the sweat is running down your neck
All your praying for's to stop you body breakin' up
Oh your heart is pumping gonna soon explode
Got to fight the horror of this mental load

We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace

So you wait it out and bide your time
Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line
Everyone who wins in the great escape
Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake

I don't talk about it but that's alright
Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight
If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait
Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate

We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace

You've Got Another Thing Comin'

One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said i'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks

If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You got another thing comin

In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow

Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

Fever

I'd spend my days alone
I used to stay at home
Lost in seclusion there
Like I was in a cell
A captured heart as well
Surrounded by despair
Darkness filled my soul
Losing all control

Down on the streets below
Bright city lights would glow
The energy would rise
And through the heat I'd gaze
Still counting empty days
With fire in my eyes
Living through this hell
Can I break this spell

Fever. You set my soul on fire
Fever. You fill me with desire
Fever. You always get it right
Fever. All day and all night

Then one night as I walked
I heard your body talk
I saw a shooting star
In some magnetic trance
Our beating hearts would dance
And crash down from afar
Oh how strange fate is
Never dreamed of this

Fever. You set my soul on fire
Fever. You fill me with desire
Fever. You always get it right
Fever. All day and all night

So destiny has bought us
Oh so close together
We were like angels in the night
Living the dream
At last I'll be with you forever
And all at once it feels so right

Fever. You set my soul on fire
Fever. You fill me with desire
Fever. You always get it right
Fever. All day and all night

Devil's Child

Hypnotize me
Mesmerize me
Feel my willpower slip
Light my fire
With cold desire
Losing all my grip

Eat my diamonds
Drinking all my gin
Feast your eyes on
A whole lotta sin

Oh no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child

Took my dreams
And now it's seems you're nothing but a liar
Smash and grab at all I had
Build my funeral pyre
Stop pretendin'
Got me growin' old
Your tormentin's
Fit to snap my soul

Oh no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child

You took my heart
And left it blown to smithereens
I gave my body as a slave
You cut my flesh
And drank my blood that poured in streams
I'm left here broken and ashamed

Goin' under
Hear the thunder
Death defying grace
Your condition breeds ammuntion
Shoots me in the face
Vicious talkin'
Stabs me like a knife
Scratched and bruised, so abused
I'm a human sacrifice

Oh no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child
