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.

Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De quoi ma vie s'ra faite?
Rien qu'un aller-retour en métro!
Pour moi, c'est plus la fête,
Toujours les sales boulots,
Du cambouis plein la tête,
Plein le dos
Oh Tropicana, j'vais y respirer un peu,
J'descends m'asseoir près d'la sono,
J'connais le barman,
Dans mon verre il y a du feu,
Le haut-parleur donne à pleins flots
Du sirop, du sirop
Les filles qui dansent à tue-tête
Massacrent le vieux lino,
Souvent, sous leurs pieds, je jette
Des mégots
Le simili des banquettes
Se ride sans dire un mot,
Sourire du temps qui s'arrête,
Que c'est beau!
Le Tropicana c'est une île déserte,
J'ai mon palmier près de la sono,
Le lait de coco fait tourner la tête,
Le haut-parleur donne à pleins flots
Des sirops, des sirops
Oh Tropicana, c'était l'île déserte,
J'ai mon palmier près de la sono,
Laits de coco, faites tourner la tête,
Les haut-parleurs donnent à pleins flots
Du sirop, du sirop, du sirop, du sirop.
The above lyrics are from Gold's song Tropicana. The lyrics contain the thoughts and reflections of an individual who is feeling stuck in life with menial jobs and a mundane routine. The artist expresses a desire to escape this repetitive lifestyle by visiting Tropicana, a place that symbolizes freedom, relaxation, and joy. While being at Tropicana, the artist feels at ease and familiar. The song talks about a barman who knows the artist and serves him exotic alcoholic beverages. The artist observes the people in the club, likes the music being played, and enjoys the atmosphere of the club. The artist enjoys a sense of abandon and forgets his worries and problems. The artist also reflects upon the passage of time, the aging of the surroundings, and how everything seems idyllic and frozen in time. Tropicana is described as an island paradise, where the artist can let go of his inhibitions and feel free.
