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 be a strong man
And know what you want
And fight ev'ryone in your way
You're the one who sweats
And what do you get
When someone else picks up your pay
Hey, when you're fighting a wolf,
it's a fight to the end with a pack
You work all day long
You're stuck to the phone
Burn up a hundred cigarettes
The yes-men you know
They tell you no go
And dissatisfaction's all you get
Hey, when you're needing a queen
ev'ry card that you get is a jack
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got to feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever, forever
You gotta be strong
We rock'n'roll forever
No sword and no knife
Can help you survive
Survival is a business head
A good deal you need
Or you're lost in their greed
You're rotten, helpless, dead
Hey, when you're fightin' a wolf,
it's a fight to the end with a pack
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got to feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever, forever
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got to feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever
