18 YEARS
Ya hemos hablado de Gamma Ray en nuestro blog y tendremos que seguir haciendolo puesto que su música es muy importante en nuestro género musical. Cuando kai
Hansen salio de Helloween en 1989, formó este grupo, sin en principio
grandes pretensiones, y tras haber pasado un tiempo haciendo
colaboraciones con otras bandas como Blind Guardian. Es en ese mismo
1989 cuando decide formar Gamma Ray, junto a otros músicos como Ralf
Scheepers, hasta entonces vocalista de Tyran Pace. En 1990 editan su
primera obra de estudio que es inmediatamente un rotundo éxito, como no
podía ser de otra manera pues estamos ante uno de los "reyes Midas" en
esto del Heavy que parecen convertir en oro todo lo que tocan. Desde
entonces y hasta la fecha de esta reseña 11 discos de estudio y 3 EP's
hablan de un grupo consolidado en lo más alto de la cima metálica. Este es el tercer disco de Gamma Ray, y el último en el que cantaría Ralf Scheepers antes de su salida por supuestamente problemas derivados de la distancia entre su lugar de residencia y el de la banda, y compatibilizar vida personal con vida laboral. Tras su salida de Gamma Ray Ralf Scheepers hizo una infructuosa audición para Judas Priest, (curioso, será por calidad del vocalista...), y en 1998 forma Primal Fear con ex miembros de Sinner. En lo referente a este disco de Gamma Ray, "Insanity and Genius" es un buen disco en conjunto, en el que se van perfilando definitivamente las características de un Gamma Ray más asentado y cada vez más colocado entre los grandes del power metal internacional. Dejo una canción que me gusta mucho de este disco de 1993, que se llama "18 Years", que es uno de esos medios tiempos con fuerza típicos de Gamma Ray. Dejo un enlace a youtube.
Sometimes I ask myself, "Is this the life I want to have?"
Are you still satisfied with the situation
That you've had for many years now?
Time is movin' on your childhood is gone
But you don't realize that the game it isn't won
Blind you think that you're safe at home
But the fall is near if you carry on
18 years of freedom - where have they gone?
Try to understand - you must search to take and give before you're old
You must learn - you must learn to live your life, just on your own
Break out the change is drawing near
Decisions to stop, to turn and stare
Solutions my thoughts are getting clear
I'm leaving and I no longer care
Spread my wings and fly among the clouds,
I feel so free, I've left the world behind
Now I know what I have missed
I'll never give it back, my life's just begun
One chance....
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Mother!
Mother!
Take it all away!
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Are you still satisfied with the situation
That you've had for many years now?
Time is movin' on your childhood is gone
But you don't realize that the game it isn't won
Blind you think that you're safe at home
But the fall is near if you carry on
18 years of freedom - where have they gone?
Try to understand - you must search to take and give before you're old
You must learn - you must learn to live your life, just on your own

I'll never give it back, my life's just begun
One chance....
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Mother!
Mother!
Take it all away!
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
