About Me



.. ..
..
Gegen Ende der 70er, als die Disco-Musik ihre damalige Blütezeit feierte, kam es vor, dass sich auf Disco Sampler-Kassetten vereinzelte Rockstücke "verirrten". Eines davon war der Hammersong "Delirious" von den Heavy Metal Kids (na, do you remember?), einer englischen Band, die das Zeitliche leider schon längst gesegnet hat. Dieser wegweisende Track war die Vorstufe zu einer LP, die bei meinem Vater (Thanx Dad!) in dessen Plattensammlung stand: „In Rock“ von Deep Purple. Diese Scheibe sollte mein musikalisches Verständnis geradezu erdbebenmässig verändern. „Speed King“ oder „Child In Time“ haben auch heute, nach über 30 Jahren nichts von ihrem Glanz verloren. Danach hatten ABBA, Boney M., Hot Chocolate, Donna Summer und wie sie alle noch hiessen, keinen Stich mehr. Der Rock-Virus hatte längst Besitz von mir ergriffen. Ein weiterer Meilenstein bedeutete das Jahr 1980, als mir meine Mom (Kisses!) eine pechschwarze Scheibe mit komischen vier Buchstaben und einem Blitz drauf aus Mailand mit nach Hause brachte. Die Glockenschläge zu Beginn sorgten erst mal für etliche Stirnrunzeln, die aber nach dem ersten Gitarrenriff gleich wieder verschwunden waren. Noch vor (!) dem Erwerb von „Highway To Hell“ (Who the fuck is Bon Scott?) wischten die "Höllenglocken" die letzten Zweifel aus dem Weg, in welche Richtung sich mein Musikgeschmack künftig entwickeln sollte. Rock will never die, so come up and shout at the devil!
Toward the end of the 70ies, when Disco music celebrated its bloomy days at that time, it occurred that Disco Sampler tapes contained isolated pieces of rock tunes. One of it was the awesome song „Delirious” from the Heavy Metal Kids (well, do you still remember them?), a british band, which unfortunately is already gone a long time ago. This blazing track was the preliminary stage to a LP, which was locatet in the vinyl collection from my father (Thanx Dad!): „In Rock“ from Deep Purple. This LP should change my musical understanding almost like an earthquake! After over 30 years „Speed King“ or „Child In Time“ have lost nothing from their gloss. After that period ABBA, Boney M., Hot Chocolate, Donna Summer and others had no more pass. I definitely was infected by the Rock and Metal virus! Another milestone followed in 1980, when my Mom (Kisses!) brought me home from Milan a black LP with simple four letters and a lightning sign on it. The chimes at the beginning were a bit strange! But then, after the first guitar riff, I went directly totally crazy. Before I knowed (!) and bought „Highway To Hell“ (Who the fuck is Bon Scott?) this „Bells from hell” wiped away the last doubts, in which direction my music taste should develop in the future. Rock will never die, so come up and shout at the devil!
