Blessing In Disguise (Metal Church Album)
''Blessing in Disguise'' is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Metal Church, released on February 7, 1989. Overview ''Blessing in Disguise'' was Metal Church's final release on Elektra Records, and the first album not to feature the vocals of David Wayne, due to his departure to form the band Reverend.

Badlands (Bruce Springsteen Song)
"Badlands" is the lead track on Bruce Springsteen's fourth studio album '' Darkness on the Edge of Town'', and its second single. Origins According to Springsteen, he came up with the title "Badlands" before he started writing the song.

According to the editors of ''Rolling Stone'', the song "tapped into the ferocity of the punk singles he'd been listening to at the time". Themes The song tells the story of a man down on his luck and angry at the world, who wants a better lot in life. On March 15, 2012, in a keynote speech to an audience at the South by Southwest music festival, Springsteen discussed the Animals' influence on his music at length, praising their harsh, propulsive sound and lyrical content. Saying that '' Darkness on the Edge of Town'' was "filled with Animals", Springsteen played the open ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
