1) MAD MAX is a Münster melodic Hard Rock outfit debuted with a line-up of vocalist Andreas Baesler, guitarists Wilfred Schneider and Jürgen Breforth, bassist Thomas Hoffman and drummer Uwe Starck, cutting a self-financed, eponymous album for issue in 1982. This offering was subsequently re-issued via Roof Music in 1983. The band signed to Roadrunner Records and new singer Michael Voss, then just nineten years old, featured on the second album 'Rollin' Thunder', released in October 1984. 'Rollin' Thunder' was also granted a valuable US release on the Metal Blade label.
The band then replaced Hoffmann with new bassist Jürgen Sander. MAD MAX evolved further when both Schneider and Starck vacated their positions to join fellow Münster Heavy Metal band CARRIE. 1985's 'Stormchild' album witnessed new recruits being drafted in the form of bassist Roland Bergmann, drummer Axel Kruse and guitarist Christopher Wegmann. The single 'Fox On The Run', from 1986, was a cover of the SWEET classic.
MAD MAX guitarist Chris Gerhard ('Angel') Schliefer was eventually to join SINNER for their 'Comin' Out Fighting' album in 1986 and has also enjoyed stints in the ranks of PRETTY MAIDS, BONFIRE and the rejuvenated SABU. Drummer Axel Kruse currently plays with German Melodic Rock outfit JADED HEART.
Their final Roadrunner album release, the Dirk Steffens produced 'Night Of Passion', arrived in 1987. To promote the album, MAD MAX toured throughout Europe with the likes of PRETTY MAIDS and STRYPER. However, the group folded in 1989 when Michael Voss took his leave. Voss had a stint with BONFIRE before creating CASANOVA then reuniting with Schliefer to create DEMON DRIVE. All of these acts would gain a relatively high profile in Germany. Meantime, Axel Kruse united with JADED HEART.
Two MAD MAX guitarists Jürgen Breforth and Ralf Heyne created TANNER. Heyne later issued an eponymous album with DOCHEYNE. MAD MAX, actually just Voss and Breforth, reformed in 2000 for the 'Never Say Never' album released by Point Music. Sessioning in the studio for this set would be the TANNER rhythm section of bass player Carsten Tischer and Yogi Spittka. Japanese variants of this record would be re-titled 'Criminal Religion'. During late 2001 Heyne would also resurface in another album project entitled BISS in union with erstwhile VICTORY vocalist Fernando Garcia.
In 2004 Voss marked a return of sorts with 20TH CENTURY BOYS, a pact with another highly respected German Hard Rock singer MICHAEL BORMANN of JADED HEART, THE SYGNET, BISS and BONFIRE. The resulting 2004 album 'Beware Of The Rex' comprised entirely T REX cover versions. MAD MAX themselves made a comeback the following year, cutting a new studio album 'Night Of The White Rock' for the AOR Heaven label. Significantly, this album displayed an open Christian lyrical theme.
MAD MAX opened up a trio of shows for DEEP PURPLE and ALICE COOPER in February 2006 then announced German touring plans across Germany for May 2006 packaged with PAGANINI and JADED HEART. Voss guested on two tracks, 'Footprints In The Sand' and 'Eight Feet Below', included on Swiss outfit BEGGAR'S BRIDE's debut October 2006 album 'Boulevard Of Broken Hearts'. MAD MAX launched a fresh mini-album entitled 'In White', this featuring acoustic versions of 'Night Of The White Rock' tracks, a re-work of 'Lonely Is The Hunter' from their first album, new song 'Hello Father' and a cover version of US gospel classic 'Open The Eyes Of My Heart'.
MAD MAX supported AXEL RUDI PELL on his February 2007 European tour.

Never Say Never
Mad Max Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought that
I could take the burn.
I never had the strength to take it higher,
Until I reached the point of no return.
And there's just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up up up,
And never say never.
I never thought I could feel this power.
I never thought that I could feel this free.
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower.
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea.
And there's just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
Cause this is my destiny.
I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up, up, up,
And never say never.
Here we go!
Guess who?
JSmith and Jb!
I gotcha lil bro.
I can handle him.
Hold up, aight?
I can handle him.
Now he's bigger than me,
Taller than me.
And he's older than me,
And stronger than me.
And his arms a little bit longer than me.
But he ain't on a JB song with me!
I be trying a chill
They be trying to side with the thrill.
No pun intended, was raised by the powerof Will.
Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove.
Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood.
I gotta be the best, and yes
We're the flyest.
Like David and Goliath,
I conquered the giant.
So now I got the world in my hand,
I was born from two stars
So the moon's where I land.
I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up, up, up,
And never say never.
I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up, up, up,
And never say never.
The song "Never Say Never" by Mad Max is about self-empowerment and determination. The lyrics express the optimism and courage necessary to overcome obstacles and achieve one's goals. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that they never believed they could handle adversity, but as they faced challenges, they gained the strength to persist. The chorus emphasizes that no matter how many times they are knocked down, they will always get back up and keep fighting. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer describing how they never thought they could feel so strong and free, but they have the ability to overcome any obstacle.
The last part of the song features a rap verse by JSmith and Jb. They put emphasis on their own personal struggles and use examples of resilience, from Luke Skywalker to David and Goliath, as inspiration to never give up on their own dreams. The verse is ultimately a reminder that one's destiny is in their own hands and they have the power to conquer anything.
Overall, the song's message is both empowering and motivational, urging listeners to never give up and to always have faith in their own abilities.
