Top 10 Songs About Fans
The Top Ten
I like this song
This was their debut album, so why make a song for fans you barely have? just a thought, but whatever...
Many metal bands have fans before the debut album because they play live
You’ve come to see the show
We do our best, you’re the rest
Lol, this song title just screams Judas Priest. Exciter is a Judas Priest song, and Rob calls his fans Heavy Metal Maniacs
You are right - Exciter were named after the Judas Priest's song Exciter!
Paul McCartney wrote this song about a fan who broke into his house through the bathroom window.
Diane Ashley claims it was her. "We found a ladder in his garden and stuck it up the bathroom window which he'd left slightly open," she said. "I was the one who climbed up and got in. I don't regret any of it. I had a great time, a really great time." Diane keeps a framed photo of herself with Paul.
The best part:
probably she wasn't the only one who broke into his house through the bathroom window. Susie Landis (now Landis Kearnon) clams "What a surprise to learn there was someone named Diane Ashley who put a ladder up to Paul's house and climbed in through the bathroom window. Judy and I were paid $1500 by Greene & Stone ...,"
The story is long and I have no idea who is right, who did it and who inspired Paul.
George Harrison was nearly killed by a crazed fan who climbed his security fence, and stabbed him with a knife multiple times.
He did? Well, The Beatles do have some crazy fans so I'm not too surprised.
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Bang your head
And never turn it down
Bang your head
Bad guys wear black
Feel the rhythm pounding
There's no escape inside the game
Hear them screaming out for more
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
The Contenders
This song was inspired when Maynard encountered a fan stating that Tool had "sold out". You would have never guessed that solely from the title.
"We don't attract wimps 'cause we're too loud
Just true metal people that's Manowar's crowd
… We like it hard, we like it fast
We got the biggest amps, man they blast
True metal people wanna rock not pose"
I am a huge fan of Bad Religion
I even bought a brown Fender Precision (like the one Jay plays)
Signing to Atlantic was a really bad decision
Now they’re back on Epitaph hey
I bought Suffer then I bought a thesaurus
Then Graffin sang on S/M Airlines chorus
Now we hang out and party on each other’s tour bus
because the old bands know how to have fun
We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming
It's right well alright
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again
[...]
We know our fans are insane
We are gonna blow this place away
With volume higher
Than anything today the only way
Great cover of the Leon Russell-written song.
Fists are in the air thrashing everywhere
Banging to the sound, faces melting down
It's time to fight for metal tonight
Bangers take your stand and obey
Our metal command
"I love it loud, let's push it higher
Until the gain shows just red light
I love it true and played with fire
I enjoy a battle without fight
What I hear I adhere
Have no fear, say sincere
Are you metal? "
"What do you want?
Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal"
