Skid Row con Tony Harnell: 18 And Life, nuova versione

Una “Vulgar Display of Power” per gli Skid Row, che vogliono presentare il nuovo cantante Tony Harnell mettendolo alla prova con una delle canzoni più famose della band, la canzone che ha “definito” l’era di Sebastian Bach: 18 And Life.

Che dire: la voce c’è, gli acuti sono altissimi, la grinta non manca. Harnell promosso a pieni voti, anche se per ora si può parlare solo di “karaoke”, bisognerà ascoltare i nuovi brani per sapere se anche a livello compositivo la band riuscirà a tornare ai vecchi fasti. Quel che sembra certo è che nel giro di un mese, i quindici anni di Solinger saranno solo un ricordo sbiadito, una postilla nella storia degli Skid Row…

18 And Life – il testo

Ecco il testo della canzone da Rachel Bolan e Snake Sabo, cantata nel 1989 da Sebastian Bach.

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it’s

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, “Ricky’s the wild one.”
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot ‘em up, The party never ends.
You can’t think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend
And now it’s

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go

“Accidents will happen” they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind – that child blew a child away.

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go
