Rob Rock started his career in 1983 when he and Chris Impellitteri joined VICE, a cover band. They released a successful demo and were together until 1985. In 1986, he joined musicians Tony MacAlpine (guitar), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Rudy Sarzo (bass) in a project called M.A.R.S. Project Driver. The project received much critical praise, but the next year each member went a different way.
With different ways to follow, Rock decided to record an EP with Impellitteri called Relativity. However, he was already committed to another project called Joshua, so he could not continue with the band (at least for the moment.) After that, he worked on a series of projects (Angelica, Driver) which gave him knowledge of international musicians that would serve him well later.
In the early 1990s, he received a call from Chris Impellitteri to join his band again. He agreed and he went on a successful run with Impellitteri with albums: "Grin and Bear It"-1992, "Answer to the Master"-1994, "Screaming Symphony"-1996, "Eye of the Hurricane"-1998 and "Crunch"-2000, two EP`s and one live album. In 2000 he decided to pursue his own solo career and parted ways amicably. That same year, he released his first solo album called Rage of Creation. The album received much critical praise and Rock has gone on, releasing three more albums on the way.
Rock has also lent his voice to the Randy Rhoads tribute released in 2000 and to countless other projects through his career like Avantasia and Axel Rudi Pell.
Judgment Day
Rob Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blood fills the street
Generals lead their masses
Children at their feet
Judgment Day
Will the sun refuse to shine
Judgment Day
Come Armageddon
The woman rides the beast
Wisdom from the heavens
Anger, plagues, disease
Judgment Day
When the stars fall from the sky
Judgment Day
Good and evil will collide
Judgment Day
There's a rider on the storm
Judgment Day
Bringing justice and the sword
Kings of earth are unclean
Babylon demon seed
Riches, splendor, blinded by her luxuries
Lead the nations astray
Kill the prophets and saints
Deluded and fallen, the mark of the beast
The beast and the dragon are false
Weeping and mourning cry out
Scavengers feast, eating your flesh
Judgment Day
When the stars fall from the sky
Judgment Day
Good and evil will collide
Judgment Day
There's a rider on the storm
Judgment Day
Bringing justice and the sword
The lyrics to Rob Rock's "Judgment Day" depict a time of great chaos and violence. The opening lines suggest a world consumed by war and generals leading their followers to battle, even at the cost of innocent children's lives. The song then explores biblical themes of judgment and the apocalypse, with the lines "Will the sun refuse to shine" and "When the stars fall from the sky" representing the end of the world as we know it.
The second verse introduces more religious themes, such as the woman riding the beast, which is a reference to the book of Revelation. The lyrics suggest that judgment day will bring both wisdom from heaven and anger, plagues, and disease, with the rider on the storm bringing justice and the sword. The song then criticizes the kings of the earth who are driven by greed and blinded by luxuries, leading their nations astray and killing prophets and saints.
Overall, "Judgment Day" speaks to the destructive nature of war and greed, as well as the idea that a reckoning is coming for those who have forsaken their moral and ethical responsibilities.

klyral Maybe it means hail satan to some, and not to everyone. That's all I'm saying. Personally, I have stopped using the gesture because I don't want to be a stumbling block to others.
Regarding Ouija boards, tarot cards, a knife, crystal balls, whatever...they are used for purposes of evil but are not evil in-and-of-themselves. It's like palm reading...a palm reader is tapping into the forces of evil to predict the future, but the palm of my hand isn't evil.
The idea of, "don't touch this or that or evil will get on me," or "If I touch a Ouija board a demon will arrive" is human superstition. A Ouija board is a plank of wood, tarot cards just cardboard with ink and a coating on them.
But I completely agree that these things are "used" for the purpose of conjuring evil. So do I have these things in my house? No, of course not. Not because "they" are evil, but because I have no use for their purpose.
Colossians 2:20-22, Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.
1 Corinthians 8:7, 8; But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
Yes, I agree with you...there is definitely real evil in this world. Yes, Satan does exist, demons do exist and there is a hell for those that practice magic arts.
