(1) Metro is an indie pop band from Luxembourg. Their sound is oscillating between 80's pop, 70's krautrock, new-wave and electro. Pounding drum beats, grooving basslines, screaming synth-symphonies and cheap japanese sound-toys, combined with Olivier's precise and passionate vocals are their recipe for love.

(3) Metro is a jazz ensemble consisting of Mitchel Forman and Chuck Loeb, working in tandem with Wolfgang Haffner and Victor Bailey. The band was founded in spring 1994 by Chuck Loeb and Mitchel Forman, who have dreamed of starting their own cooperative band project for over 20 years since they worked together for Stan Getz. During their long career they have often met again - including for a tour and live-album by saxman Bill Evans called "Petite Blonde", but they have never led a band together before "Metro". For the steady band they looked for a great bassman and drummer. Originally Dennis Chambers was invited to join the band, but he was busy with a commercial job for the first tour of Europe in spring of 1994. So German drummer Wolfgang Haffner was invited on the recommendation of bassman Anthony Jackson who had worked with him on several occassions in Europe - and it worked out great. The band recorded their first album - called metro like the band - directly after the tour at the "Hansahaus"-Studios in Bonn, Germany. Since then they have played a second tour of Europe with concerts in France, Poland and Germany.
The press reactions were almost as good as the reactions of the audience - and many journalists remarked that the band plays "Power fusion" instead of "elevator crap". In spring 1995 Anthony Jackson left the band and was succeeded by bassman Victor Bailey (ex-Weather Report, Petite Blonde, Madonna a.o.). They recorded the new album "Tree People" and were be performing live in spring of 1996 in Germany ,Austria and other European countries. Their second album "Tree People" is available in France through JMS/Sony Distribution
(4) Another act called Metro consists of 5 guys from Passau, Germany, who started to play together in mid-2006: Christian Ulbrich(synths), Gabriel Bartl(guitar), Benjamin Block(vocals, guitar), Leo Schmidt(drums) and Michael Uhl(bass). In early 2007 they performed the songs they had finnished up to that point to positive audience reactions.
(5) One other incarnation of the band "Metro" featured a core of three multi-instrumentalists, Peter Godwin, Duncan Browne and Sean Lyons whose debut ('Metro') was released in the late '70s on the Transatlantic label.
Somewhat difficult to pigeon-hole in terms of style, one possible description could be "underground Paris soft rock" coincidentally harking back to the band's name, the music being strongly evocative of loss, passion and lust in a city of romance such as Paris.
"Criminal World" the first single from the debut, was later covered by David Bowie, although the original remains the definitive version.
"Flame" and its "Overture" are highlight tracks that would be appreciated across many genres of listeners.
After recording a follow-up (New Love) and the untimely death of Duncan Browne (who leaves behind his own extensive discography) the voice of the band, Peter Godwin went on to record some disco-oriented material with some mainland European success.

(Chorus)?
The song "Paris" by Metro is all about the empty promises and lies that players make to females trying to make it big in the rap game. The lyrics are full of anger and frustration as the artists express their disappointment at the people who made these promises but didn't follow through with them. The artists talk about how they have been in the rap industry for a while and have seen many people come and go, but they have remained true to their own talent and never compromised on their principles. The chorus of the song talks about how people make empty promises, but these promises will get them nowhere.
The verses of the song are all about different aspects of the rap game and how promises are made and broken. Brina talks about how she has been promised money upfront to sign on the agreement but despite several promises, nothing has happened. The artists talk about the holdup and how AJay is ready to rumble, but the promises don't seem to be coming true. They also talk about how some people try to break up close-knit groups like II Tru and how it's a fool's move to try to mess with their tight click.

A bit of warning for tourists who don't know (like I was recently), the pickpockets typically can be spotted because they wear winter coats, even in hot weather. The bottom of the pockets in their coats have holes so they can stick their hands through the hole and pick your back pants pocket without others noticing. Very clever, it nearly happened to me except I am very sensitive in my hindquarters region and I felt my wallet get moved ever so slightly and reached back and caught him. What an exhilarating experience to catch a thief mid-act! I got my wallet back from him, that was all I cared about, I turned and walked away.
äadyee
I had the exact similar experience but it's my phone. I literally grabbed my phone back from his hands. It all happened in 2-3 seconds. Thank God I got my phone back.

Get that satchel, you might look funny with it, but it pays wonders. Also, if you have a backpack, put a lock 🔒 on it
Clutching My Pearls
We saw a pickpocket on the metro, he timed it so he jumped off as the doors closed. I wear my purse in front of me at all times and in a crowd I hug my puree to my chest. My husband keeps his wallet in his front pocket and in crowd he'll place his hand in that pocket. Plus we keep as diligent as possible about our surroundings.

I also buy a multiple-day pass, SO much cheaper

You should probably have mentioned that on some lines, the older trains don't have automatic doors, so you need to manually pull the lever or push the button to get the door to open once the train reaches your station.
I've seen tourists just awkwardly stand there wondering why the door isn't opening.
Amira
spl0uf yes i agree , good point
Christina
Thanks! I don't want to be one of those awkward tourist lol
Sapphire Camui
Well, how are tourists supposed to know these things? i guess it's pretty funny for the locals though XDD We have new trains that require the passengers to press the button for the doors to open. the older ones [we have a few really old trains] are operated by the train driver [so for the passengers the doors open/close automatically]
Daniel Lucas
You just have to look at the door. Their will be a button or a lever.
