1. GOLD is … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 10 bands that use the band name Gold:
1. GOLD is a contemporary metal/rock band from the Netherlands, concidered 'heavy' because of its songs, more than its sound. This quintet focuses on form and content, where their instruments are mere means to express.
The songwriting core of GOLD exists of guitarist Thomas Sciarone (ex-The Devil’s Blood) and singer Milena Eva. Longtime friends Igor Wouters and Harm Haverman provide a rock steady yet adventurous foundation and new kid on the block Nick Polak completes the bunch with his talent for harmony and melody.
With ‘Interbellum’ GOLD deliver their first full-length album. Each single song on the album is a well-crafted piece of music and a story on it’s own, however ‘Interbellum’ as an album is more than the sum of the parts. It’s a monument to our time and to a civilization in decline. It deals with instability and the fear of things to come. But ‘Interbellum’ also offers a spark of love and hope in an attempt to give meaning to life in modern times.
On ‘Interbellum’ GOLD have clearly crafted their own style with elements not unfamiliar to man. Milena Eva sets herself apart from other singers in modern rock music with her warm and soulful voice. She’s supported by a heavy rocking band whose effect is undeniable, but so is their joy in playing. Together they form an ambitious force that is eager to share its music with the crowds.
Again the Amsterdam Recording Company was the studio of choice and serves as another defining instrument on the album. It’s authentic tone and warmth completes the richness of GOLD’s sound. Vanderbuyst main man Willem Verbuyst co-produced the album together with Igor Wouters (the band’s drummer), capturing the songs in a fresh and open sound with attention for the whole as well as the detail.
The band will be out on the stages by the end of 2012, delivering their songs to every soul that cares to listen.

7. Gold was also a rock band From San Francisco. Their 45 was part-produced by Country Joe McDonald in late 1969 at Leo De Gar Kulka's Golden State Recorders, whose legacy has been explored by Big Beat in the Nuggets From The Golden State series. No Parking and a previously unreleased effort I Saw You can be found on the Big Beat's What A Way To Come Down (CD) comp. The band also recorded an album, which remained unreleased until Rockadelic came to the rescue in 1995. Side one is best: No Parking and Righteous Road are high energy rock; Conquistadore has some Santana-influenced percussion and Summer Dresses is essentially hippie-pop; but the stand-out track is the laid back High On Love, which has some lovely melodic guitar. Side two is less impressionable.
The band were managed by Ron Cabral along with his brother Dennis from 1968 to 1973. They broke up after playing San Francisco shows at both the Fillmore and Winterland with groups such as: Big Brother and the Holding Company, Hot Tuna, Ten Years After, Malo, and Mike Bloomfield.

Laissez-nous chanter
Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui vous ont fait pleurer
Contre la mort qui menace
Nous sommes à vos côtés
Mais n'allez pas jeter la pierre
Si vous croyez que certains
Vous ont offensés
Car ceux qui dénoncent vos guerres
R Laissez-nous chanter
Le peu d'amour qui nous reste
Sous vos ailes d'acier,
Oh laissez-nous chanter.
Laissez-nous rêver
Et s'il nous faut faire un geste
C'est à nous de décider
Mais laissez-nous chanter.
2 Le temps venu solidaires
Nous serons des milliers
Au pied des mâts solitaires
De vos bannières étoilées
Mais devant les champs de vos ruines
Il faudra bien dire un jour
Où est la vérité
Entre vos orgues de Staline
Et nos guitares en liberté.
3 Vous aurez le choix des larmes
Et des mots déchirés
Aussi longtemps que vos armes
Continueront de parler
Mais n'allez pas jeter la pierre
Si vous croyez que certains
Vous ont offensés
Car ceux qui chantent nos prières
Sont ceux qui donnent les premiers.
The lyrics of Gold’s song, Laissez-nous chanter, are densely packed with nuanced commentary on the themes of solidarity, resistance, and freedom. The song begins by acknowledging the pain and suffering experienced by those who have been impacted by war and violence, while also highlighting the importance of standing by their sides. The idea of throwing stones is introduced as a metaphor for retaliatory actions taken against those who try to speak out against the atrocities of war. The singer urges listeners not to resort to such violent means, because those who are brave enough to speak truth to power often end up paying the ultimate price.
The refrain, “laissez-nous chanter,” translates to “let us sing” in English, and serves as a rallying cry for those who wish to claim their right to express themselves freely. The song asserts that even in the face of oppression and censorship, people must be allowed to sing and dream, and to make their own decisions about what actions they want to take in order to achieve justice and peace.
The third verse addresses the need for empathy and understanding in a deeply divided world. It acknowledges the pain and trauma experienced by all sides of a conflict, and encourages people to find common ground by respecting each other’s perspectives and experiences. The idea of non-violent resistance is introduced here as a powerful tool for social change. The singer urges listeners to reject the narrow, dogmatic thinking of authoritarian regimes, and instead embrace the transformative power of music, which has the ability to unite people from all backgrounds around a shared vision of hope and possibility.
Overall, Laissez-nous chanter is a powerful statement on the importance of standing up for what is right, even when doing so comes at great personal risk. It is a call to arms for all those who believe in the transformative power of music as a force for positive change in the world.

D'accord pour les cris d'angoisse
Qui vous ont fait pleurer
Contre la mort qui menace
Nous sommes à vos côtés
Mais n'allez pas jeter la pierre
Si vous croyez que certains
Vous ont offensés
Car ceux qui dénoncent vos guerres
Sont ceux qui tombent les premiers.
Agreeing with your cries of anguish
that made you cry
Against the impending death
We stand by your side
But do not throw stones
if you believe someone
has offended you
Because those who denounce your wars
are the first to fall.
Laissez-nous chanter
Le peu d'amour qui nous reste
Sous vos ailes d'acier,
Oh laissez-nous chanter.
Laissez-nous rêver
Et s'il nous faut faire un geste
C'est à nous de décider
Mais laissez-nous chanter.
Let us sing
The little love that remains
Under your wings of steel,
Oh let us sing
Let us dream
And if we must make a move
It is up to us to decide
But let us sing.
Le temps venu solidaires
Nous serons des milliers
Au pied des mâts solitaires
De vos bannières étoilées
Mais devant les champs de vos ruines
Il faudra bien dire un jour
Où est la vérité
Entre vos orgues de Staline
Et nos guitares en liberté.
When the time comes, in solidarity
We will be thousands
At the foot of the lonely masts
Of your star-spangled banners
But in the face of the fields of your ruins
One day we will have to say
Where is the truth
between your Stalinist organs
And our free guitars.
Vous aurez le choix des larmes
Et des mots déchirés
Aussi longtemps que vos armes
Continueront de parler
Mais n'allez pas jeter la pierre
Si vous croyez que certains
Vous ont offensés
Car ceux qui chantent nos prières
Sont ceux qui donnent les premiers.
You will have the choice of tears
And of torn words
As long as your weapons
Continue to speak
But do not throw stones
if you believe someone
has offended you
Because those who sing our prayers
are the first to give.
