Metal versus Rock

by @ 6:48 pm on 5/13/2006. Filed under general

One of these songs is metal, one is hard rock. Which is which?

Song 1

She was a fast machine,
She kept her motor clean,
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen,

She had sightless eyes,
Telling me no lies,
Knockin’ me out with those American thighs,

Taking more than her share,
Had me fighting for air,
She told me to come, but I was already there,

‘Cause the walls started shaking,
The earth was quaking,
My mind was achin’,
And we were makin’ it and you…

Shook me all night long,
Yeah you, shook me all night long.

Working double time on the seduction line,
She was one of a kind,
She’s just mine all mine,

Wanted no applause,
It’s just another cause,
Made a meal out of me, and come back for more,

Had to cool me down,
To take another round,
Now I’m back in the ring to take another swing

But the walls were shaking,
The earth was quaking,
My mind was aching,
And we were making it and you…

Shook me all night long,
Yeah you, shook me all night long,
Knocked me out, I said you
Shook me all night long,
Had me shaking and you,
Shook me all night long,
Well you shook me,
Well you shook me…

You really shook me and YOU!
Shook me all night long,
Aaaaahaaaahaaaah You…
Shook me all night long,
Yeah yeah you,
Shook me all night long,
You really got me and you,
Shook me all night long,
Yeah you shook me,
Yeah you shook me,
All night long.

 

And

 

Song 2

Build a fire a thousand miles away to light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone…
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I’m alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I’m not afraid to die
Stand and fight
say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There’s only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
And cut each other’s throats
Will fall like melting snow
They’ll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They’ll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we’ll laugh and they will kneel
And know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I’m not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
born with a heart of steel

 

The first song is one of my favorites of all time. Amazing band. The second is also a great song. But which is metal?

    Well, I’ve not heard the 2nd song but since, as you say, AC/DC isn’t metal, I’m gonna have to go with song numero dos.

    Not only isn’t AC/DC metal, lately it’s become mall background music. I couldn’t believe that I was hearing this very song over the muted speakers at our local shopping mall!
