A true epic from one of the best blues/hard-rock albums ever. To this day this album stands up and above so much that is out there. I love the slide on this track. Such an underrated album/band. The relationship between drummer, bassist & guitar is truly inspiring. Ray Gillen was taken too soon.
One of the best rock shows I’ve ever been to! 1992 Santa Anna Banana - For two & a half hours I felt like I knew what it must have been like to witness Zep or Hendrix in a club during their early days. Yes, BADLANDS rocked that hard!!! :)
Oooohhh, oooohhh, Street Cry 💕J’adore ses « ooohhhh » il est d’une sensualité 💥très souvent dans diverses chansons🎶 »Stop‼️RAY, before you brake my heart😪it’s too late »Like and KISS, this year 2021, listening with pleasure always💥🔥💋62 Years ... for our 🙏65 for me 🤷♀️🎶❤️
In the coldness of the city Where the neon sleeps The streets show the pity And the nights run deep And every shadow seems to hold a hidden story And every heart, oh, is a refugeeAnd the old ones hope And the lost ones scream The hustlers float And the young ones dream In the city Livin' in the soul of the cityAnd the streets cry freedom Do you stand or retreat As you stare by the neon gods above While you bask in the heatAnd the streets cry freedom As the blood runs cold As you stare into the eyes of the walking ghosts Who've lost their soulsIn the summer's heat I'm weary In the soul of the city Potential's burning bright In the Harlem halls Have you ever lived looking down a shotgun barrel When they said hey boy, this ain't your homeThere ain't no cure for the bleeding heart 'Cause when you fall There's no second start in the city There'll always be the soul of the cityAnd the streets cry freedom As it burns in the heat As you stare by the neon gods above While you bask in the heatAnd the streets cry freedom As the blood runs cold You stare into the eyes of the walking ghosts Who've lost their souls(Solo)There is no reason For livin' in sin I don't believe when they say hey boy, you better give in You know I'll fight for what I know Till the day that I die 'Cause I'm better off dead Then buried along with my prideAnd the streets cry freedom Till the day that I die, yeah Till the day that I die And the streets cry freedom Till the day that I die, yeah Till the day that I die, yeah Till the day that I die Till the day that I die, die, die, die, die, oh Streets cry freedomPotential's burning brightOh, oh Till the day that I die Till the day that I die Till the day that I die Till the day that I die
That riff to the end starting around 2:54 is about the biggest adrenaline rush one can experience. Before that, pretty high caliber but standard fare hair metal. I salute you, Jake E Lee.
Never enough of Ray Gillen
@big lift Far right
BADD ASS SONG! I am 51 now and want to go nuts everytime I hear this song!

Greatest album ever.
This stands up to any and all.
BADASSSSADAB
That rhythm section happening behind the solo is just as impressive as the solo.
Told my son to check out this song, the slide solo will bring a tear to your eye. He said, get out!

And the streets cry FREEDOM !!.. This amazing song affected me at my core.,. Til the day that I die......
In the coldness of the city
Where the neon sleeps
The streets show the pity
And the nights run deep
And every shadow seems to hold a hidden story
And every heart, oh, is a refugeeAnd the old ones hope
And the lost ones scream
The hustlers float
And the young ones dream
In the city
Livin' in the soul of the cityAnd the streets cry freedom
Do you stand or retreat
As you stare by the neon gods above
While you bask in the heatAnd the streets cry freedom
As the blood runs cold
As you stare into the eyes of the walking ghosts
Who've lost their soulsIn the summer's heat I'm weary
In the soul of the city
Potential's burning bright
In the Harlem halls
Have you ever lived looking down a shotgun barrel
When they said hey boy, this ain't your homeThere ain't no cure for the bleeding heart
'Cause when you fall
There's no second start in the city
There'll always be the soul of the cityAnd the streets cry freedom
As it burns in the heat
As you stare by the neon gods above
While you bask in the heatAnd the streets cry freedom
As the blood runs cold
You stare into the eyes of the walking ghosts
Who've lost their souls(Solo)There is no reason
For livin' in sin
I don't believe when they say hey boy, you better give in
You know I'll fight for what I know
Till the day that I die
'Cause I'm better off dead
Then buried along with my prideAnd the streets cry freedom
Till the day that I die, yeah
Till the day that I die
And the streets cry freedom
Till the day that I die, yeah
Till the day that I die, yeah
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die, die, die, die, die, oh
Streets cry freedomPotential's burning brightOh, oh
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die
Geoff Tate is
