Metal Ripper!

[eppst1]

On the new Sabaton disc, (for those who haven't heard it yet) they do a song called Metal Ripper, and they took lyrics from various other metal songs and put them together to make a new song. I was able to figure out some of the lines, but not all. Now (WITHOUT CHEATING - what fun would that be?) can you tell what song each line is from?

a) You're in for surprise, you're in for a shock
b) In london town streets when there's darkness and fog
c) I'm going down, all the way down
d) I'm on the highway to hell from here

e) Blessed by the night, holy and bright
f) Called by the toll of the bell
g) Oh Mr. Crowley did you talk to the dead
h) Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

i) Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
j) Hear a rising force
k) Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
l) Through the night you can hear them

m) Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
n) Blinded by me you can't see a thing
o) Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
p) Blood on your face you big disgrace

q) A strand of silver hanging through the sky
r) Touching more than you can see
s) Appears like a wonder without any move
t) Gonna get close, closer to you

My guesses:
a and b = Ripper - Judas Priest
d = Highway to Hell - ACDC
f = INCORRECT!
g = Mr. Crowley - Ozzy

m and n = Master of Puppets - Metallica
o = Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
p = We Will Rock You - Queen

Isn't T Queensryche, off RAGE FOR ORDER?

Gates of Slumber did this on their new album, but were cool enough to include TROUBLE!!!!

 

[drmetal8]

E-F "Neon Knights" Black Sabbath

 

[eppst1]

E-F "Neon Knights" Black Sabbath

Oops, I was wrong.

 

[Claus / Intromental]

Here's a couple not mentioned already:

i) Abandoned land come on in child take my hand

Twisted Sister

j) Hear a rising force

Malmsteen.

That was an interesting exercise.

I had to think long and hard on J because it doesn't start where the actual phrase starts.
L cut off one word early for it to be an easily ID'd line. I gave up on this one and googled it.

...and no, the last line isn't Queensrÿche. If it had been it would really have been Dalbello and incorrectly "quoted".

So I failed on L, S & T.
Could've been worse.

I don't see any Savatage represented, unless I'm missing it. :Smug:

a,b = "The Ripper" (Priest)
c? It isn't "Self Portrait" by Rainbow, but it wants to be
d is probably H2H (AC/DC)
e,f = "Neon Knights" (Sabs)
g = "Mr C" (Ozzy)
h = "Gates of Babylon" (Rainbow)
i?
j= "Rising Force" (Malmsteen)
k?
l=[ha! not even close. need more coffee] Definitely not "In the Fallout" (Fifth Angel)
m,n ="Master of Puppets" (Metalica) [m had me thinking of Heaven and Hell...]
o=Number of Beast (IM)
p = We Will Rock You (Queen)
q?
r can't place it...
s?
t? Not QR, but plays one on tv...

 

[Perditions Ghost]

Two more that no one's gotten yet:

k) Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains

"Balls to the Wall" by Accept

q) A strand of silver hanging through the sky
r) Touching more than you can see

Pretty sure these are Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers".

 

[Pellaz]

I don't see any Savatage represented, unless I'm missing it. :Smug:

Clearly, the Sabaton guys don't spend enough time on THIS forum.

I was going to say Crimson Glory, but you're probably right, they wouldn't have cut the line off one word early. Well, I think of CG when I hear "Through the night you can hear them..." - even if they're referencing some other song.

Well, CG was the best hit I got when I gave in and googled it so that is most likely it.

c) ?
d) Highway to Hell - ACDC

Seriously... do you mean that you get D but not C?
Funny.

When I heard it I was expecting something along the lines of Metal Crue and Metal Machine, but I didn't really get it. Thanks for explaining what they were doing in the song.
