Německý metalový soubor založený v Solingenu v r. 1971, přirovnáván m.j. k Judas Priest. Rozpoznávacím znakem je hlas Udo Dirkschneidera, zpívajícího výhradně anglicky.
První stabilnější sestava je až z r. 1974. Prvním úspěchem bylo vystoupení...
You gotta take it easy
You gotta live your life
Yesterday's heroes
They are born to die
The people always blame you
It don't matter what they say
You've got your own freedom
You've gotta go your way
Get up and roll on
'cause there is no future
And there'll be no past
Live for today
The going is going fast
Get up and roll on
Get up and go on
The going's going fast
You are
Ahead of the pack
Ahead of the pack
Never look back
'cause you're ahead
Ahead of the pack
Don't you kill the feelings
Live to your heart
You're miles away
But you know where to start
Now you've got the muscle
To knock out a lie
'cause you're ahead of the pack
No one will spit in your eye
Chorus
