CLASSIC ROCK BROUGHT TO LIFE
Despite their mixed backgrounds, the members of the Norwegian band Rebolt came together for one single reason: The love for old fashioned heavy metal and hard rock!
Their songs are a humble batch of rock’n’roll which has got both soul and playfulness written all over it. In short, it is an honest attempt to make the audience dig up their air guitars and put their pedals to the metal (although rather not at the same time!). It was the guitar riffs and solos, the big choruses and the unpretentious joy of bands such as AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Iron Maiden or a modern band like Danko Jones. which lead to the foundation of Rebolt during the winter of 2004.
Rebolt was founded on the basic idea that it was possible to be serious about music without trying to «save» rock by attempting to be knights in shining armour. The musical background of the four members would usually imply that they were poles apart, but their diverse individual credentials from jazz, rock and funk among other genres, have in fact proved to be their greatest strength. Other encouraging acts include Rose Tattoo, The Cult, AC/DC, Black Label Society, Iron Maiden, Metalllica and Danzig. Rebolt's energetic and charismatic singer Frode is in the centre of the stage, claiming the attention of the audience right from the first note to the final riff. This is a rock singer who can smile and look people in the eye all at once, and still sing as if his lungs were bleeding. This get-up-and-go attitude both on record and on stage has lead to support jobs for internationally recognized Norwegian bands such as Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band, El Caco and Span, as well as swedish metallers Mustasch.
During the years since Rebolt’s formation, the quartet has managed to earn a small but devoted international fan base as well as a name for themselves on the local live circuit in Norway. The reasons for their achievements are as simple as the ideas that were evident when they first met: To play extremely tight rock’n’roll and engage their audience while bringing their joy of music to a full view. From August 2007 to October 2008 the band were on hiatus, awaiting the recovery of drummer Kristian who was suffered serious problems with his hearing. In October 2008 the band recruited a new drummer, Magnus and are now on a new roll.
Rebolt were featured on the cover-cd of Classic Rock Magazine in October 2008 with their song “Bad Boy (For You)”, alongside some of their own heroes: Rose Tattoo (which “Bad Boy..” is a tribute to), Airbourne, Saxon and bands like The Donnas and Krokus. In February 2009 the band played at club:Larm in Oslo and impressed both new and old fans with their obvious love of playing music in front of an audience.
Bring your air guitar out of the closet and enjoy, dude!

I told you twice
You can call me up
I could be your spice
You say you can't
You say you're good
I don't have to come
But I've heard you've found
Some zero brain excuse
I've heard you've found
Somebody you could choose

I could be a bad boy for you
I'll be a bad boy for you
I'll play a bad boy for you
If I'm bad enough
Could you be good for me?
You're the cutest girl
I'm the nicest man
You're so into dreams
I'm just what I am
I'll tell you once
I'll tell you twice
If you call me up
I won't be nice
'cause I've heard you've found
Some zero brain excuse
I've heard you've found
Somebody you could choose

I could be a bad boy for you
I'll be a bad boy for you

The song "Bad Boy" by Rebolt is about a man trying to convince a woman to be with him, even though he knows she has been seeing someone else. The chorus emphasizes his willingness to be a "bad boy" for her, indicating that he is willing to be daring and risky in order to win her over. The lyrics suggest that he has tried to be nice and polite in the past, but now he is changing his strategy to be more aggressive and forceful.
The verses of the song are addressed directly to the woman, with the man telling her that she can call him up whenever she wants, and that he could be her "spice." He acknowledges that she has previously rejected him, but he refuses to give up. He accuses her of making "zero brain excuses" for seeing someone else, implying that her new partner is not as intellectually stimulating as he is. He also points out that he is a "nice" man and she is a "cute" girl, suggesting that they would be a good match.
In the end, the man reiterates that he is willing to be a "bad boy" if it means winning the woman over. He performs a guitar solo to emphasize his newfound confidence and rebellious attitude. The song ends with him repeating the chorus three times, underscoring his determination to be with the woman.

I love it. It would be nice to see how this mower performs throughout the year. Bad Boy needs some pro guys putting up videos. #BadBoysponsorship pro-team

Been using my 2016 zte elite for my lawncare business and it's still going strong.

I just picked up a revolt SD 42” yesterday and love it. Well designed heavy built mower. Love the compact size and great price! Got mine for $5,999 😎
Russell Lawn Maintenance

Tyler Ingram
Have you had any experience with the SD on steeper inclines? If so, did it handle them well?
Rell Monger
Nice

I like to see these mowers cutting some decent height grass to get some idea of how they perform in the not so perfect conditions vs cutting off just 1/16 of grass.
Russell Lawn Maintenance
Same! It’s always a bummer to watch a review and the mowing footage is all well manicured lawns that barely need any mowing. I have several real tall weedy lawns that I have videos with this mower on. Thanks for your comment!
