BLOODSTREETS
Riot es un grupo estadounidense cuya historia comenzó alla por 1975 cuando el guitarrista y compositor Mark Reale lo fundó. Pasó sin pena ni gloria por la escena musical internacional durante una década lo que les hizo pensar en abandonar, de hecho, la banda se separa en 1984 creando el guitarrista la banda Narita con la que saca dos discos que siguieron el mismo destino que Riot. Será en 1988 cuando decide intentarlo de nuevo con el disco Thundersteel, una obra para la que puso lo mejor de sí y para la que cambió toda la formación antigua y que cambiaría su destino musical pues se trata de una obra maestra. A partir de ese momento el éxito llama a su puerta con los siguientes discos y continuan produciendo obras de estudio hasta 2011 con su inmortal soul. En 2012 el genial guitarrista Reale muere y la banda continua bajo el nombre de Riot V con el que sacarán un disco en tan solo un par de semanas llamado Unleash the fire.
Durante su historia Riot ha sacado 14 discos de estudio más el que saldrá en unos días que será el decimoquinto. De ellos para mi destaca este thundersteel, de 1988, un disco que no tiene descartes, una obra completa y para escuchar a fondo. También destacaría el the privilege of power de 1990. Dejo la canción Thundersteel que da título a la genial obra del 88 con un enlace a youtube.
I was born on these streets years ago
I was the king of the neighbourhoood
Fast on my feet, I was elite
I was the star of the show
This task must be done - I will not run
I will not lay me down to die
This war I will win, so let it begin
Deep in my heart is a burning fire...
I can't let it go
Alone in the night I know I must fight for my home
Time has changed the seasons
And I will go on with no reason
I feel my life slipping away
These streets are getting colder
And I am growing older
Tomorrow seems so far away
What's become of us friend, we were one till the end
Now I'm alone in the streetlight gleam
This town knew our names, but nothing's the same
The places I played have forgotten the dream
I can't let it go
Alone in the night I know I must fight for my home
Time has changed the seasons
And I will go on with no reason
I feel my life slipping away
These streets are getting colder
And I am growing older
Tomorrow seems so far away
I was the king of the neighbourhoood
Fast on my feet, I was elite
I was the star of the show
This task must be done - I will not run
I will not lay me down to die
This war I will win, so let it begin
Deep in my heart is a burning fire...
I can't let it go
Alone in the night I know I must fight for my home
Time has changed the seasons
And I will go on with no reason
I feel my life slipping away
These streets are getting colder
And I am growing older
Tomorrow seems so far away
What's become of us friend, we were one till the end
Now I'm alone in the streetlight gleam
This town knew our names, but nothing's the same
The places I played have forgotten the dream
I can't let it go
Alone in the night I know I must fight for my home
Time has changed the seasons
And I will go on with no reason
I feel my life slipping away
These streets are getting colder
And I am growing older
Tomorrow seems so far away
