Geboren wurde die Metalkombo 2001. Die damals noch vierköpfige Band beschloss, die Herzen der Fans von harter Musik mit eigenen Stücken und deutschen, von der Frontfrau Toni eindrucksvoll gebrüllten lyrics, im Sturm zu erobern und veröffentlichte in diesem Sinn im Herbst 2002 ihre erste Demo-CD, die ihr bei ihren Konzerten aus den Händen gerissen wurde.
Um dem emotionsgeladenen Sound der Verdammten noch mehr Brachialität zu verleihen, wurde 2003 mit André ein zweiter Gitarrist in die Runde aufgenommen. Von da an gab es für die Musiker kein Halten mehr. Mit ihren Auftritten in ganz Deutschland mischten sie die Szene auf und entpuppten sich oftmals als heimlicher Headliner der Veranstaltungen. Ihr treibender, mit donnernden Blastparts gepaarter bis melodiöser Deathmetal bohrte sich wie ein Torpedo in die Metalheads und wurde schnell mit Bands wie Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, My Dying Bride und In Flames verglichen.
Kürzlich hat die Band mit bekannten Größen wie Grave Digger, Rage, Destruction, Doro, Overkill und Holy Moses auf dem Rock Harz Festival erfolgreich die Bühnen geteilt, und sie werden auch auf der offiziellen Festival-DVD mit Liveausschnitten zu bewundern sein. Desweiteren rockten sie unter anderem mit Betrayer, Izegrim, Uppercut, Tom Angelripper, Maintain, World Downfall, Darkest Hour, Vader, Heaven shall burn, Narziss und Settle the Score die Häuser.
Im Sommer diesen Jahres war das Erfolgsquintett im Studio und hat neues Material auf CD gebannt. Mit fünf fetten Songs werden sie neue Fans zum Bangen bringen, die bisherigen erneut begeistern und ein weiteres, vielversprechendes Kapitel im Buch D.A.M.N. beginnen.

Piledriver
Damn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nice licks
I can feel this's gonna be a rhythm and blues song
Nice, real nice, tasty

Wait a minute

Well if you want it baby
Slide on up and take me home

And go ahead and drive me crazy
You can't leave well enough alone
Ow

'Cause I'm a piledriver
Piledrivin' man
I'm a piledriver
Piledrivin' man

So you say you love me
Well shake me up and cut me loose
Let's shake me down like you've got rabies
And slip your neck inside of my noose

I'm a piledriver
Piledrivin' man
I'm a piledriver
Piledrivin' man

Another nasty situation (c'mon baby)
I heard that story line before (oh, hey)
We're gonna rock this fuckin' nation (oh! ow! yeah!)

I was cruizin' backstage in Des Moines, Iowa
And a little girl comes up next to me and says
"Mr. Nugent do you think my skirt is short enough?"
I said, "Baby, you want to be alive you've got to piledrive!"

Did anybody get the license plate number of that truck?
[background chatter]

Piledriver
Piledrivin' man
I'm a piledriver
Piledrivin' man

Yes I am
Piledriver
Piledrivin' man
Piledriver
Yes I am a
Piledrivin' man

Whoa nice

Oh rapture me, right now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Damn Yankees' song, Pile Driver, are suggestive and sexual in nature. The song opens with the guitarist playing nice licks and sets the tone for a rhythm and blues song. The chorus confirms that the singer is a piledriver, doing the piledriving. The lyrics then speak to a possible lover inviting her to come closer and drive him crazy. The use of the word "piledriver" in the song's chorus is meant to be a sexual metaphor for the act of sex between two people.

The lyrics of the song are typical of glam rock in the 1980s. The song, Pile Driver, was released in 1990, towards the latter part of glam rock's peak. The genre of glam rock had a subculture of androgyny and sexual expression. The song's lyrics follow suit with this subculture, being suggestive and risque. The song's beat and melody also evoke the sound of glam rock, which makes it a fitting song for the genre.
