Hoy pensaba poner imágenes del cumpleaños de un amigo (que ya paso hace tiempo) y de Lazer Night, pero la verdad es que no puedo obviar ésto. Hoy es un día bastante triste en la historia de la música, tanto Pop/Rock como Heavy Metal. Éste mismo día, 26 años atras, John Lennon, importante integrante de The Beatles, sería asesinado en su residencia por un fanático: Mark David Chapman. Así terminaba la vida de una persona muy influyente para muchos, que logró revolucionar la música. Una persona que, aunque no te gusten Los Beatles, merece nuestro respeto.
Éste mismo día, 2 años atras, el Heavy Metal tendrá uno de los golpes más duros de su vida: Darrell Lance "DIMEBAG" Abbott, guitarrista y uno de los fundadores de PANTERA, se enfrentaría al final de sus días al ser asesinado por otro fanático: Nathan Gale, el cual le dió 5 disparos en la cabeza en el escenario, mientras tocaba con DAMAGEPLAN (La banda que hizo con su hermano despues de la separación de Pantera). Así se iba uno de los guitarristas de Metal más influyentes de los últimos tiempos, el cual con Pantera evitó que el metal se considerara muerto despues del resurgimiento del grunge, y que lograra una reputación enorme sin la ayuda de MTV o de la radio.
Hasta el día de hoy, todos nos hacemos la misma pregunta: POR QUÉ?. En homenaje, un tema de The Beatles y de Pantera:
HELTER SKELTER
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.
Do you, don't you want me to love you I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.
Helter skelter helter skelter Helter skelter.
Will you, won't you want me to make you I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you Tell me tell me tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.
Look out helter skelter helter skelter Helter skelter Look out, cause here she comes.
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride And I get to the bottom and I see you again
Well do you, don't you want me to make you I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you Tell me tell me tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.
Look out helter skelter helter skelter Helter skelter
Look out helter skelter She's coming down fast Yes she is Yes she is.
CEMETERY GATES
Reverend, Reverend,
Is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
Put an image, beneath me
What's within my plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man, couldn't have feel this world
Left in my misery
The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
Nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)
Well I guess
You took my youth
And gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
All alone as the
Memories now unfold
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetary gates
Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder all aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last
Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetary gates
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetary gates
Gates...
Gates...
