US Hard Rock Underground – Power Ballad


Fu una “forma canzone” assai abusata dai grandi nomi dell’hard & heavy
americano almeno fino all’avvento del punk, ed ancora oggi è una tipologia,

US Hard Rock Underground – Macho Songs


You put a greased naked woman on all fours with
a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man’s arm extended out up to
here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff
