A Fire Inside
Boner to the bone
You, stupid, I never ever said Accept was (is) gay. I said gay metal like Rhapsody in my list of the things that I hate. Maybe, if you could read the right way, you would have noticed that Accept, Blind Guardian and the other bands that are written after the statement gay metal like Rhapsody are not included in this qualification. They would be gay if I said "gay bands like Rhapsody, Accept, Bon Jovi, etc." with the statement in the first place, which would have "contaminated" the full sentence. If it's not in the first place it becomes a subordinated object to the enumeration with no power to modify its meaning. Obviously, if you can't read correctly you may misunderstand what I said.Bryant said:I am not a CoB fan and will not bother your forum again as I respect everyone's musical opinions (well except for hating Accept) which brings me to my purpose..... Accept is not gay, dude. Accept was simply way ahead of it's time. They attacked many social issues which included sexuality. The person that wrote their lyrics was actually a woman, known as Deafy, whose real name was Gaby Hawk, later to become Gaby Hoffmann and the wife of former Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann. She was also the manager of the band.
I have no problem with fans of the bands that brought European metal to the US like Maiden and Priest, but Accept was simply better than those bands. The bad thing about Accept was that a three-chord anthem they wrote namely "Balls to the Wall" was what the media chose to send to America as a video and single. Accept was epic, powerful, progressive and intense. They offered a technical rythm section with a blistering dual guitar attack and vocals that hammered you into oblivion.
Basically what I am trying to say is that Accept was way ahead of their time and though huge in Europe, they never reached the American fans BECAUSE they were too heavy. I found this post while trying to look up one of mine and trust me, though I am not a particular fan of CoB, I am a little familiar with their music. My intention is not to bust the balls of the poster who made the statement (as he may not know the meaning of Accept's intentions of the lyrics) but rather to share with all you metal head brethren just how much Accept kicks ass. Accept may not be as "heavy" as say early Slayer, etc. but they have some songs that have so much intensity, it makes you want to "break shit."
I now return you to your regularly scheduled program, and as I said, I'm not trying to dog the poster here or bother all of you CoB fans. I'm not a spammmer I just respect the kick-ass music Accept left for the world so much, I wanted to add my $0.03.
P.S. If anyone here is interested in this message, send me PM. I will respond. As I say, I am not a spammer. I can hook you up with some Accept tunes.
