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.
Unconditional
Rob Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
some feelings never shown
But in my eyes you're perfect
and all my heart you own
No matter what reason,
doesn't matter what you do
There's nothing that can make me walk away
the sun shines on our face
My love for you is so much more than feelings now
You can count on me to always be there
No matter what we face together
No matter what the hand of fate
Just remember I'll be standing there
My love is unconditional
You know there's time of sadness,
anger, doubt, despair
But don't forget the good times
and the promise we share
Cherishing the moments, whatever life may bring
You'll always have the hand of your best friend
I don't care which way the wind blows, because
we've got something no one else an know
When seasons change I never want you doubting me
I will always be there to stand by your side
No matter what we face together
No matter what the hand of fate
Just remember I'll be standing there
My love is unconditional
