00:02:05 - I have few certainties in the world of rock, but there is one that stands out among all the others.

00:02:10 - My album and the great heavy metal album has been, is and will beat balls to the wall by the German band Except.

00:02:21 - The band consisted of Udo Dirk Schneider on vocals, Herman Frank Wolf Hoffman on guitars,

00:02:26 - Peter Bales bass and Stefan Kaufman drums.

00:02:34 - From the first listen, and despite the bombardment of new hard rock and heavy metal bands that came to us in the mid 80s, all I wanted was to turn that tape over and hit play over and over again.

00:02:51 - Love Child opened side 2, with a flattening riff and an immeasurable melody, direct and precise, a great song.

00:03:03 - One of the features that caught the attention of the media was the cover of the album,

00:03:07 - A clear reference to the homosexual community, with an erotic touch from that time and that, to this day, still has some validity since Love Child was a song that talked about homosexuality, which tells the story of a homosexual boy.

00:03:26 - Perhaps what helped the album's success in the US was the, gay metal, controversy that arose after Balls to the Wall was released in the US.

00:03:35 - Specifically, it came about as a result of the album's title and cover being considered, homoerotic, by some, along with, London Leatherboys, and Love Child, having lyrics that appear to concern homosexuals.

00:03:51 - Many members of the band had expressed their opinion.

00:03:54 - Guitarist Wolf Hoffman said years after the album came out, you Americans are so uptight on this issue.

00:04:01 - In Europe it was never a big deal.

00:04:03 - We just wanted to be controversial and different and touch on these sensitive issues, because it got good press and it worked fabulously, you know.

00:04:12 - I already believe that Wolff was right since consulting how this topic is currently and from an internet article from 2019, it appears that in the United States there is no federal law that explicitly protects the LGTBI community lesbians, gays, transgender, bisexuals and intersects in situations of employment discrimination or lack of housing.

00:04:32 - In the absence of a federal law, states have the power to make and enforce their own laws.

00:04:37 - Less than half of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia that make up the U.S.

have legislation that explicitly prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment and housing.

00:04:49 - That is, 28 states lack state laws that prevent an LGTBI person from being fired from work are thrown out of the house by the owners.

00:05:01 - Drummer Stefan Kaufman also had a few things to say about the controversy.

00:05:06 - He claimed that some of the songs on balls to the wall were about oppressed minorities.

00:05:10 - Love Child was about oppressed homosexuals.

00:05:13 - As he said in an interview with the French magazine Infer in 1983, it is a phenomenon that must be taken into account.

it exists on a large scale and must be demystified. In fact, this is a phenomenon of society that needs to be taken as such. Homosexuals have long been considered sick or insane. And yet, it is time to respect these people, open our minds that are often closed.

00:05:40 - This thought arises what the band thought at the time, without a doubt they were advanced in their way of thinking at the time.

child sounds like it's a sad tune, and there's actually some tragedy within it.

00:05:55 - However, there is also a sense of triumph over adversity, as if you have overcome an obstacle in life. To complement this sentiment you have the guitar work taking center stage, blasting out some great rips. Coupled with percussion that sounds like a heartbeat and singing that switches between hope, sensuality and despair in the blink of an eye,

00:06:14 - You have another heavy metal classic.

00:06:21 - It is worth remembering that the American edition of Balls to the Wall was released in January 1984, while the European edition was released on December 5, 1983.

00:06:44 - It won't take long to get on with it Come on, come on, come on
