Senore Professore Doctore Comodore Rodriguez Flamingo(Mexico-city), Mr 2004 Volt (Rumänien), Jiri “Atomic“ Buschnik (Czech), Django „Boogiebastard“ Silbermann (Germany) und as a permanent guestmusician, Senor Carlo Vivary (Cuba), bring this testament of Rock ´n Roll in perfektion on stage. Romania is the kitchen, Mexico the livingroom, Germany the restroom, America the refrigerator. The whole universe is their Bedroom.
Cosmopolitic armed like that they roam over the stages of europe and leave a redeemerlike trace of blissful exhaustion. Over 600 concerts decorate the triumphal arch in the diary of the band. From Warsaw to Madrid, from Bergen to Naples people listen to the devotion of this combo in every extra- and ordinary situation. A further Message is not necessary. You just want to say: "You have to see this!"

Personal Jesus
Los Banditos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
The song "Personal Jesus" by Los Banditos speaks of the human need for a savior, a personal Jesus who can hear our prayers and who cares for us. The lyrics suggest that we encounter moments when we feel unknown and alone, and in those difficult moments, we can find comfort in knowing that we have a personal Jesus to turn to. The song calls us to reach out and touch faith, to connect to that deep wellspring of strength and hope that can be found in a personal relationship with a higher, transcendent power.
The lyrics of "Personal Jesus" convey a sense of intimacy, of a relationship that is both personal and private. The song suggests that this personal Jesus is the one who can make us believers, who can give us the strength to face life's challenges and overcome our fears. There is also an element of confession, of acknowledging our faults and flaws, and seeking forgiveness from a higher power. The song speaks to the universal human need for connection, for a sense of belonging and purpose, and for the courage to face the uncertainties of life with hope and faith.
