Gotthard How does it feel, to be the one A heart of stone, a smile of steel You're talking nice, know how to charm You see the goods, but not the price I wonder You turn your back on poverty You got your high society Call up your friends, you know them all You're still immune to rise and fall Remember You're such a great pretender Anytime, anywhere I'll be watching you, all the things that you do Anytime, anywhere I'll be around, I'll be waiting for the moment you fail No shaking hands, get in the ring Those empty words don't mean a thing The time will come, it won't be late We're slipping through the hands of fate But remember You're such a great pretender Anytime, anywhere I'll be watching you, all the things that you do Anytime, anywhere I'll be around, I'll be waiting for the moment you fail Anytime, anywhere Oh, I'll be watching you, all the things that you do Anytime, anywhere I'll be around, I'll be waiting for the moment you fail I'll be waiting for the moment you fail Yeah yeah yeah Anytime, anywhere

Survivor Rising up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times it happens too fast You change your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hanging tough, staying hungry They stack the odds 'til we take to the street For the kill with the skill to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger Rising up straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop Just a man and his will to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger

Songwriters: CAIN, JONATHAN / PERRY, STEVE / SCHON, NEAL Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere A singer in a smokey room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on (Chorus) Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night. Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice, Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on (Chorus) Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlights people Don't stop believin' Hold on Streetlight people Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlights people

Songwriters: COVERDALE, DAVID/MARSDEN, BERNARD No, I don't know where I'm going But, I sure know where I've been Hanging on the promises In songs of yesterday An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time Here I go again Here I go again Tho' I keep searching for an answer, I never seem to find what I'm looking for Oh Lord, I pray You give me strength to carry on, 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a drifter I was born to walk alone An' I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time I'm just another heart in need of rescue, Waiting on love's sweet charity An' I'm gonna hold on For the rest of my days, 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a drifter I was born to walk alone An' I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time But, here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a drifter I was born to walk alone An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a drifter I was born to walk alone 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a drifter I was born to walk alone Goin' down the only road I've ever known,

Whitesnake I was born under a bad sign, Left out in the cold I'm a lonely man who knows Just what it means to lose control But, I took all the heartache And turned it to shame, Now I'm moving, moving on, And I ain't taking the blame Don't come running to me, I know I've done all I can A hard loving woman like you Just makes a hard loving man So I can say it to you, babe I'll be a fool for your loving no more, A fool for your loving no more I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying, Fool for your loving no more I'll be a fool for your loving no more I'm tired of hiding my feelings, You left me lonely too long I gave my heart, and you tore it apart, Oh, baby, you done me wrong Don't come running to me, I know I've done all I can A hard loving woman like you Just makes a hard loving man So I can say it to you, babe I'll be a fool for your loving no more, A fool for your loving no more I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying, Fool for your loving no more I'll be a fool for your loving no more I'll be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more So I can say it to you, babe I'll be a fool for your loving no more, A fool for your loving no more I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying, Fool for your loving no more A fool for your loving no more Fool for your loving no more...

Rebell Yell 05:10
Billy Idol Last night a little dancer, came dancin' to my door Last night a little angel, came pumping on my floor She said come on baby, you got a license for love And if it expires, pray help from above, because In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more In the midnight hour babe more, more, more With a rebel yell more, more, more More, more, more! She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed What sets you free and brought you to me, babe What sets you free, I need you here by me, because In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more In the midnight hour babe more, more, more With a rebel yell more, more, more He lives in his own heaven Collects it to go from the seven eleven Well, he's out all night to collect a fare Just as long, just as long it don't mess up his hair I walked the ward, for you, babe A thousand miles, for you I dried your tears, of pain, babe A million times, for you I'd sell my soul, for you, babe For money to burn, for you I'd give you all, and have none, babe Just to, just to, just to, just to, to have you here by me, because In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more In the midnight hour babe more, more, more With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more More, more, more! Ooh yeah, little baby She want more More, more, more, more, more! Ooh yeah, little angel She want more More, more, more, more, more!

Songwriters: Blackmore, Ritchie / Gillan, Ian / Glover, Roger / Lord, Jon / Paice, Ian Anderson We all came out to Montereax, On the Lake Geneva shoreline. To make records with a mobile, We didn't have much time. But Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Were at the best place around, But some stupid with a flare gun, Burned the place to the ground. Smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Smoke on the water... They burned down the gambling house, It died with an awful sound. (Uh) Funky Claude was running in and out, Pulling kids out the ground. When it all was over, We had to find another place. But Swiss time was running out, It seemed that we would lose the race. Smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Smoke on the water... We ended up at the Grand Hotel. It was empty cold and bare. But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside, Making our music there. With a few red lights, a few old beds, We made a place to sweat. No matter what we get out of this, I know I know we'll never forget. Smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Smoke on the water...

about

COVER‐ROCK MASSGESCHNEIDERT

Ein cooler Sänger, ein versierter Gitarrist und ein Power‐Rhythmus‐Duo, so präzise wie ein Schweizer Uhrwerk. Das ist die neuformierte MATRIX BAND, vereint seit August 2009. Man merkt den erfahrenen Musikern an, dass sie seit über 35 Jahren in verschiedenen Rockbands ihr Handwerk gelernt und professionalisiert haben.

Das Album wurde im legendären Powerplay Studio 'A' in Maur "live" eingespielt und mit nur wenigen "Overdubs" fertig gestellt - etwas, das es heute nicht mehr oft gibt.

Wer eingefleischter Rockfan ist, für den ist es ein MUSS, die MATRIX BAND live zu erleben, um sich in Gedanken und Gefühlen in die 80er‐ und 90er‐Jahre zurückversetzt zu fühlen und diese unvergesslichen Rockjahre nochmals neu aufleben zu lassen. Das entsprechende Songmaterial lässt jedes Rockerherz höher schlagen!
