Populární německá hardrocková skupina. Založena v r. 1965 v Hannoveru, v době, kdy R. Schenkerovi (nar. 1948) bylo teprve 17 let (stejně starý je i K. Meine). Začínali s písničkami Who, Rolling Stones a Kinks. Sestava se stabilizuje až v r. 1971....

Album:
Face The Heat
Last night I went to kill
Some time at the famous grill
Where the tall eats the small
There were girls all over me
That´s my insanity
Don´t call me Ringo, call me Paul


I´m in heaven, I´m in hell
Don´t wipe that smile off my face
Can´t you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, won´t you take me down
Underneath you spell


Oh, oh I´m back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get ´em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin´ on all night


Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin´ down nightmare avenue
I wanna take you too


Sharp as a sabres tooth
Back in my favorite booth
I´m getting spanked with cold champagne
I´d walk on a razor blade
If you´re dressed like a French maid
I get my pleasure out of pain


I´m in heaven, I´m in hell
Don´t wipe that smile off my face
Can´t you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, won´t you take me down
Underneath you spell


Oh, oh I´m back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get ´em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin´ on all night


Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin´ down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue


Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin´ down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue


And I´ve gonna take you too
