_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [A] Hi everyone, [Bbm] Koby from Orphan Land here.
[Cm] I'm at the Black Plastic shop [D] in Dortmund.
_ _ _ I'm a [Dm] big vinyl lover, I guess as many [Am] of you guys. _
_ [Gm] I was just searching [Dm] the great collection here for some [Ab] _ nice vinyls that I can tell
you some story about.
And [D] I [C] found some, found 6 of them, [Bb] could find easily 60, [Gm] but I'll tell [E] you now about 6 of
them that were very much [Dm] influential on me and [C] very special ones.
_ I'll begin with this one, [Am] Iron Maiden, [Bb] 7th son of 7th son. _ _ _ _
I've literally started to listen to [Gm] metal music with this album.
[A] _ I've read some article on the newspaper, it was a stupid article, [Dm] saying that _ this [C] is
the music of, the mystic music of [Am] Lucifer.
But I was [F] a teenager and I thought, [Bb] what is that mystic music, I should check it out.
And I took a [C] bus and I went to a central [Em] vinyl shop in Tel Aviv and [F] _
_ I immediately found [Bb] it,
but I didn't have [Gm] money to buy [A] it.
_ _ And I didn't want [Bb] anyone else to [Gm] buy it, so I took it, I put [A] it in the jazz department,
I hid [E] it there _ [Gb] and I came back 2 days after [Em] and I bought it.
And I remember sitting on the bus, looking at the cover, reading the lyrics and I felt
like I have discovered a secret world, [Gb] something that [D] will, I don't know, _ in retrospective
I can [G] say definitely changed my life, but I [Ab] felt it right away.
[Gb] And I remember when I played it the [G] first time, I thought _ [Em] I can fly.
I was sure that I [Bm] can just lift myself up the chair _
[G] and fly [C] in the room, because the
music was so strong, so [D] mystic.
Never try to be radio friendly. _
[Em] I think this one definitely, if I have to take one album to an island, _ isolated from
humanity, [Gb] _ that will be the album, [E] because this album completely changed my life and
_ _ that will be the favorite [C] one for me.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E]
Right after I knew Iron Maiden, I moved [A] and _ I knew [Em] Metallica, and that was the first album
I bought from Metallica.
_ _ [E] _ _ _
[Cm] In 1991 [A] there was the Gulf War in the Middle [Em] East, which means the USA attacked Iraq and
Saddam Hussein, [A] he was sending [Bm] missiles all over Tel Aviv [Em] and Israel.
So anytime a missile [E] would fly all the [C] way from Iraq to Israel, we had [Dm] that siren going
on, [D] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] and like that. _
[D] _ I was sleeping one [Em] night, _ and _ that one I actually didn't [Am] buy the vinyl, I bought a tape.
[Bm] And I was sleeping with [Em] that tape, I was falling asleep, _ and there's a song [Am] here called Escape.
[D] At the end [Em] of that song, Metallica is playing and you can hear a siren go up [C] and down. _ _ _
[Bm] I was waking up so [Em] terrified because I thought this is the siren and I thought there's [Ebm] missiles coming.
[E] And then I fell off the bed with the [Gb] tape with me, and the tape [E] was unplugged from electricity,
and then I [B] figured _ [E] the siren was stopped.
_ _ And then I realized it was from the song.
And [A] that was the moment [Em] where I realized that _ [A] metal is like, [B] in a way, with [Em] me.
It's a part of my youth, and it's there with me in the times [C] of war.
It's like they understand [D] what I'm going through.
[B] So that's [E] my all-time favorite Metallica [Em] album. _
[A] And I can't forget when I [Abm] went to their show in [Em] 1993 _ _ [E] _ _ [C] in the Yarkon Park in Tel [D] Aviv.
That was the highlight of my [Em] youth.
And when they played [Am] Fade to Black, there was [D] this fire _ [Em] starting on top of the stage,
and that was _ [Am] the highlight of my youth. _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ Here's a great album.
One of the most _ [Gb] amazing [Am] progressive rock [D] albums of our times.
Definitely a [Em] milestone. _ _
Genesis, _ [C] of course, with _ _
[D] _ _ Phil [Em] Collins.
And _ Steve Hackett [Ab] is playing here [C] one of the best guitar solos, [Gb] I think, in the history
of rock and roll music.
This is definitely a great [C] album, and I'm [E] privileged to be a friend of this guy, which
[G] is just something unbelievable.
[D] _ _ Definitely a must album to every rock and [Em] roll fan.
[B] _ _ _ _ This crazy album, I've just discovered it here today.
[A] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ I think [D] it's, in a way, _ _ [C] the beginning [Fm] of [G] that amazing [F] combination [E] between rock and
roll and oriental [E] music.
_ _ [Gb] The album was [D] originally released [A] in [C] _ _ 1997?
[Em] 1967, I'm sorry.
_ [E] _ _ And many musicians were influenced by it.
For example, Erkin Koray from the Anatolian rock movement.
Some of the songs here were also used by him in his songs.
[F] And [G] for anyone who likes [E] my band, Orphaned Land, and likes that combination [Fm] between oriental
music [Gb] and heavy metal, or oriental and [F] rock, [G] that's definitely one of [C] those amazing [Em] milestones.
And I'm happy to discover [E] it here [Gb] today.
It's a must, I [B] think, for everyone.
_ [Em] _
_ _ [E] _ Let's say dark music, that it's not [C] metal.
_ I [D] always thought that Nick [Em] Cave is more black metal than any other black metal band that I know.
[Gb] And _ _ this one is more of his, maybe, [B] romantic albums, but definitely a great one.
Very dark.
_ _ [Ab] [C] Low range voice. _
[E] And amazing [Gb] songs like Into My Arms, _
_ _ _ _ [C] Idiot's Prayer, _ Black Air.
[B] _ _ Every song here [C] is just great.
[F] _ _ _ _
[B] And [G] simply an amazing album.
Mostly Nick Cave with his low [C] voice, playing [D] on a piano. _
[G] Perfect record for a night at home when it's raining, when you have a [C] glass of whiskey
in your hand.
[Am] You _ should check [B] it out.
_ _ _ _ Leonard Cohen, [C] one of my all-time favorite [D] poets, and one of my all-time [Gb] favorite artists,
[G] in [E] one of his [G] more _
[C] _ darker albums, Songs of Love and Hate.
[B] The amazing thing about Leonard Cohen is that when he hates, you definitely can hear it.
When he loves, it's the opposite.
He can be so spiritual.
He can be so _ [A] isolated and lonely and [B] darkened.
And [C] all of [Gb] that coming in the same artist, who is just sitting and playing with a guitar.
But this is [B] _ completely dark music, which was [Gb] inspired [C] later on, I think, by artists [Em] like
King Dude or Deaf in June [B] or the Sisters of Mercy.
[Ab] I [C] think they are all [Am] inspired by Leonard Cohen and that [B] darkness that this album has.
_ _ Yeah, [C] so those were _ _ six of my most favorite albums.
_ [B] _
[C] Thank you for joining me today and [Am] _ support Vinyls, because they [D] rock!
