Their current lineup consists of Hoffmann, vocalist Mark Tornillo, guitarists Uwe Lulis and Philip Shouse, drummer Christopher Williams and bassist Martin Motnik. Before arriving at their current lineup, Accept has undergone numerous lineup changes, being Hoffmann the last remaining original member since its inception, and he is the only band member to appear on each album.
Accept played an important role in the development of speed and thrash metal, and they were part of the German heavy metal scene, which emerged in the early to mid-1980s. They have also been cited as an influence or inspiration by a number of acts, including Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Testament, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Overkill, Exodus, and Annihilator, as well as fellow Germans such as Helloween, Blind Guardian, Doro, Sodom, Rage, and Grave Digger. Accept achieved its first commercial success with their fifth studio album Balls to the Wall (1983), which is the band's only album to be certified gold in the United States and Canada, and spawned their well-known hit "Balls to the Wall".
Accept have broken up and reformed multiple times. They first split up in 1989, several months after the release of Eat the Heat (which was their only album with Dirkschneider's initial replacement David Reece), but reformed in 1992 and released three more albums before disbanding again in 1997. After briefly reuniting in 2005, Accept announced their third reunion in 2009, with former T.T. Quick frontman Mark Tornillo replacing Dirkschneider (who declined to participate), and the band has recorded five albums with him: Blood of the Nations (2010), Stalingrad (2012), Blind Rage (2014), The Rise of Chaos (2017) and Too Mean to Die (2021); each of those albums renewed Accept's popularity in Germany and entered the top ten charts there.

Turn Me On
Accept Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down on the dirty floor
I know it ain't a place
But come on and close the door
I'm coming down for pleasure
For head games all night long
Yes, indeed, I want to have it now
I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode
Can't hold it back
It would be good to do it in the nice way
But sorry, I ain't got no time
I know you would like some light
But sorry, here is no lamp
So, please don't stop the feeling
Please, come close to me
I've gotta feel your hand
To bring it to an end
I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode
Baby, that was a hot lick
But someone's banging the door
Believe me, I'm sorry to stop you
But I'm coming back for more
It was more than I could ask for
Sorry babe, I've gotta go
Guess, there's more than two now
Who wants to break the door
Please babe, I've gotta go
You have been really good
I know you want some more
But, what can I do
Let's go ahead
Please, turn me on, turn me on
