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!
Lemmy's Heart
Rebolt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You' re the midnight stroller
But I' m too goddamn cute
And you' re just as ugly as hell
I wanna be like you
But I' ve got nothing to sell
I wanna be like you
But I' ve got nothing to sell
But I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart!
I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart
It goes
I don' t like whiskey
And I don' t do drugs
You always seem to smoke
Drink your liquor from mugs
I wanna be like you
But I' ve got nothing to sell
I wanna be like you
But I' ve got nothing to sell
But I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart!
I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart
It goes
SOLO
I' m not your kind of a man
And I' m not a stud
You' re older than my father
And a rock' n' roll god
I wanna be like you
But I' ve got nothing to sell
I wanna be like you
But I' ve got nothing to sell
But I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart!
I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart
But I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart!
I' ve got your heart, Lemmy!
I' ve got your heart
It goes
The lyrics to Rebolt's song "Lemmy's Heart" are a humorous exploration of the desire to be like the iconic frontman of the rock band Motörhead, Lemmy Kilmister, but feeling inadequate in comparison. The song highlights the singer's admiration for Lemmy's rock and roll lifestyle - staying up late, drinking whiskey, doing drugs, and being a stud. However, the singer feels that he is too "goddamn cute" and lacking in substance to truly be like Lemmy. Despite this, the singer proclaims that he has "got [Lemmy's] heart," implying that he has a deep admiration and respect for the musician.
The song features a repeating chorus of "But I've got your heart, Lemmy! I've got your heart!", which is both playful and somewhat poignant. It speaks to the idea that fans can feel a deep connection to musicians and their work, even if they may never meet them or be able to emulate their lifestyle. In this way, the song is a tribute to the power of music and its ability to create strong emotional bonds.
Overall, "Lemmy's Heart" is a lighthearted and catchy song that celebrates the rock and roll lifestyle, while also acknowledging the gap between fans and their idols. It's a fun and relatable anthem for anyone who's ever wanted to be like their favorite rock star, but had to settle for just being a fan.
