What It Takes To Be Me"Band Of Brothers" (song) audio stream (courtesy of AOL's Noisecreep): "Band Of Brothers" (song) lyrics:We walk the walk, like we're 10 feet tall,Hide in the tree tops of the timber, deliver death to allWe talk the talk, our voice is thunder,My mission here is truly clear, I am the butcherWe are the shadow storm, rolling defenders,Filled with piss and pride, and a courage unprecedentedIt's time to man up,Troy Aikman Cowboys Jersey, when you've got a man downIt's time to man up, never leave a man downI've got your back and you've got mine,As long as we stand together,Everything's gonna be alrightI'll keep you high when you get low,Just a band of brothers raising hell,Like a murder of crowsWe've got the skills, we've got the know how,We bring a fury that makes you bow down,My blood is poison, pumping through my veins,Stalking like a madman killer, we bring the painI'd die for all of you, it's my destiny,My killer instinct, iron man with a war face screamIt's time to man up, when you've got a man downIt's time to man up, never leave a man downI've got your back and you've got mine,As long as we stand together,Everything's gonna be alrightI'll keep you high when you get low,Just a band of brothers raising hell,Like a murder of crowsWe've got the look,John Riggins Redskins Jersey, and it's open season,We've got that 1000 yard stare, and all we need is a reasonWe're locked and loaded, full metal jacketWe're in the shit and we love it, let's motherfucking do this [End of lyrics]HELLYEAH last month released the "War In Me" digital single via iTunes. Having produced track after track of heavy-hitting,Doug Williams Redskins Jersey, in-your-face, feel-good rock and roll on their previous two albums (2010's "Stampede" and 2007's self-titled debut), HELLYEAH takes a slightly different musical direction on "Band Of Brothers". Drawing on their former bands' collective metal roots for inspiration, the influences and style of MUDVAYNE, PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN and NOTHINGFACE are immediately recognizable in tracks such as "Band Of Brothers", "War In Me" and "Rage Burn", while the party anthem "Drink, Drank, Drunk" retains the essence of earlier HELLYEAH. Commented HELLYEAH singer Chad Gray, "I'm really excited about what we've done on this new album. I've always separated MUDVAYNE and HELLYEAH as much as I could, even though it was my voice. Melodies,Phil Simms Giants Jersey, lyrics and just the overall style of writing were different. With 'Band Of Brothers', I just quit being afraid of who I am in relation to this band. I think we've all really gotten back to the original roots of what we've done individually and brought it together on this album. As an artist, as long as you're painting with your own brush, no one can compare or challenge you. I just painted with a bigger,Mike Wagner Steelers Jersey, heavier brush than I had with HELLYEAH in the past. I think this is what fans have always expected to hear from us, and now were giving it to them." In a recent interview with Loudwire,Mike Alstott Buccaneers Jersey, Vinnie stated about "Band Of Brothers", "On our first two records, we were a new band. We really wanted to branch out and expand and experiment with all different styles. We all come from traditional metal bands and backgrounds, so it was a great breath of fresh air to play in a band that was rock 'n' roll, blues and Southern rock. We got that out of our system and got really focused on going back to our metal roots. It's heavy,Wes Hopkins Eagles Jersey, focused, groove-oriented and I'm excited about it." |
