DR. STEIN
Uno
de los
grandes entre los grandes en uno de sus mejores discos. Esta banda
alemana cambió la escena musical de nuestro género, y buena parte de la
culpa fue de este "Keeper of the seven Keys part 2" y del anterior, la
"parte 1". Un disco simplemente perfecto de comienzo a fin, del que poco
voy a decir que ya no sepáis. Helloween se formaron en Hamburgo bajo el
nombre de Gentry en 1978 y tras varios cambios de nombre adoptaron
Helloween en 1984 bajo el que han sacado a la luz 16 discos de estudio.
Marcado por las idas y venidas de iconos de nuestra música como frontman
de la banda se puede separar su carrera mirando a sus vocalistas, los
Helloween de Kiske y los de Deris, ambas épocas espectaculares. Yo
personalmente tengo debilidad por la primera época por muchos motivos,
Kai Hansen a la guitarra y la portentosa voz de Kiske añadido a la
impresionante composición de los Keeper hacen que sea irrepetible,
aunque eso si, sin desmerecer la posterior formación con Andi Deris que
venía de Pink Cream 69 a partir del 94. Una banda de leyenda que sigue
sacando importantes obras como su ultimo disco "My God given right", de
impecable factura. Este "Keeper of the seven keys par 2", tiene la
particularidad de ser el último disco con toda la plantilla de lujo de
Helloween, antes de que Kai Hansen dejase la banda, un disco que es sin
duda legendario, y como pocos con una fama tan merecida. Ya
hablamos de esta obra hace unos meses para referirnos al inevitable "I
want out", un tema antológico, o a su "March of time", otra maravilla, y es que la obra es perfecta en su conjunto y hoy quiero repetir para referirme a otra de sus canciones, "Dr Stein", un tema que resume otra de las facetas de los Helloween de esta época, los temas Happy, donde la actitud gamberrilla y coñera se deja ver, musicalmente lucimiento brutal, desde sus primeros acordes
te engancha para no soltarte jamás, una canción de la que dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.
Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
Now he's making better ones on a higher step
On a warm summer day the doctor went away
To a place where he could make it real
His assistant's hips were nice so he cloned her once or twice
Now his hips are aching what a deal
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become great rock musicians and their time is right, time is right
Sometimes when he's feeling bored he's calling it a day
He's got his computers and they do it their own way
They mix some DNA, some skina and a certain spray
You can watch it on a laser screen
And the fellow's blue and grey or sometimes pink and green
Just check it out on Halloween
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become great politicians and their time is right
One night he cloned himself, put his brother on a shelf
But when he fell asleep that night
It crept up from behind and thought: "Well, never mind"
Took a syringe and blew out his life
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become a great possession and their time is right
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become a great oppression and their time is right, time is right, time is right, time is right
Now he's making better ones on a higher step
On a warm summer day the doctor went away
To a place where he could make it real
His assistant's hips were nice so he cloned her once or twice
Now his hips are aching what a deal
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become great rock musicians and their time is right, time is right
Sometimes when he's feeling bored he's calling it a day
He's got his computers and they do it their own way
They mix some DNA, some skina and a certain spray
You can watch it on a laser screen
And the fellow's blue and grey or sometimes pink and green
Just check it out on Halloween
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become great politicians and their time is right
One night he cloned himself, put his brother on a shelf
But when he fell asleep that night
It crept up from behind and thought: "Well, never mind"
Took a syringe and blew out his life
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become a great possession and their time is right
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, lets them run into the night
They become a great oppression and their time is right, time is right, time is right, time is right
