Balls To The Wall (song)
"Balls to the Wall" is a song by German heavy metal band Accept. It was released as the lead single from their 1983 fifth studio album of the same name. The anthemic title track is the album's best known song, and became Accept's signature song, for which a music video was shot that received American airplay on MTV. Song meaning Asked about the meaning of the song, guitarist Wolf Hoffmann replied: :"We've always been interested in politics and in human rights and things like that, so a lot of the lyrics that we had in those days, and to the end actually, were dealing with human rights, for instance, and that's really what 'Balls To The Wall' is all about. 'One day the tortured will stand up and kick some ass!'" Music video Filmed in January 1984 in London, the song's music video consists of clips of the band performing the song onstage intercut with scenes of a wrecking ball taking down a clock tower and scenes with fans of the band headbanging against the wall of the tower. ...

Fast As A Shark
"Fast as a Shark" is a song by German heavy metal band Accept and a single from their 1982 album ''Restless and Wild''. Its fast double bass drumming is recognized today as reaching a new level in the development of the subgenre of speed and power metal. The intro to the track is a snippet from a crackly old children's recording of a traditional German tune titled " Ein Heller und ein Batzen" ("A Farthing and a Penny"). The band thought it would make a humorous contrast with their heavy metal sound, and the fact that a young Dieter Dierks (in whose studio the album was recorded) was singing on the recording made it even more of an inside joke. The band soon found themselves in an unintended controversy, however: even though the song dated from 1830, it was a popular marching song during the Nazi era and still held that connotation for many listeners, a fact the band was unaware of at the time. "So out of a funny little idea we created somewhat of a monster", Wolf Hoffmann recall ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Objection Overruled

It was recorded at Dierks-Studios in Stommeln after pre-production at Roxx Studios. Background In contrast to some of the other Accept albums, Wolf Hoffmann recalls ''Objection Overruled'' as an easy one to record: "That was great! I mean, making up and having reunions are always great in a way because you feel that sort of spirit or fresh wind again. It was great! We had a ball back then," adding, "we just really pretty much made records like we always did and felt like we should use the old formulas with no more sort of experiments and just pretty much do what Accept is known for; and that's what we did." Udo concurs, calling ''Objection Overruled'' "that classic Accept sound again" as well as "a very good Accept album". It was only after the album's release that rifts would be ...

Pulling together in the midst of a very cold winter, the band members concentrated on making the album they themselves wanted to make. Udo Dirkschneider remembers: "Following our experiences with ''I'm A Rebel'' we made it our goal not to be influenced musically by anyone outside of the band this time."
