        Well, there is a GOOD solo during 'Metal Heart' on the album
        of the same name.  I was blown away when I played it, be-
        cause I was used to not hearing a (good) solo in their songs.
    
        BTW, Balls to the Wall is my favorite by them.

    I bet I've heard 20 bands cover "Balls To The Wall" and every drunk
    from here to there knows the chorus.  One of my old bands did it
    and we would always use it when the crowd was acting dead.  I still
    like hearing bands do that tune.  I don't know anything about the
    band past that album.

    Their singer has left and started his own band. His name is Udo
    Dirkschneider and his new band is called Udo. Balls To The Wall
    was a killer tune and the album was pretty solid overall. But
    like it was already said the guitar solos were buried in the mix.
    Midnight Mover on "Metal Heart" gets better as the db level increases!

      Accept is great! I saw them open for Kiss on their very first
    show in the U.S. ever, at the Worcester Centrum. The I saw them
    open up for Krokus at the Orpheum. Both shows were great! 
    
      Definitely a band with a ton of potential, and they will be missed.

    I feel that their best album is Restless and Wild. 
    I'm suprised nobody's mentioned it?

    Re .4
    
    If you like Udo's voice, you ought to check out Metal Church.
    The lead singer has a voice very similar. This band is very
    heavy. Kind of like Accept but but with the HEAVY knob cranked
    to the limit. Some real good songs, but again the guitar breaks
    are a bit weak. But the crunch of the songs makes up for it.
    
    -Rey

    
    	Supposedly, Metal Church's first album was killer, but the second
    album is rumored to be wimpy. I guess they've promised to come back
    banging heads though.

            Oh yeah - I have 'Restless and Wild' and forgot it!!

            member the album.

           Being a long time Accept fan and having all their material
    I feel Restless and Wild and then Breaker are their best efforts.
    
    
                  Their catalog contains...
    
                    1)ACCEPT (German release)
                    2)ACCEPT (US Release all different songs)
                    3)BREAKER (German release has different version
                               of Son of a B*tch--much more vulger)
                    4)MIDNIGHT HIGHWAY (Compilation of 1st 3 lps)
                    5)RESTLESS AND WILD
                    6)BALLS TO THE WALLS
                    7)KAIZOU BAN (Live)
                    8)METAL HEART
                    9)RUSSIAN ROULETTE                           
    
    
                     I'm not sure if they are still together but I think
    they are and will return with a new singer.

    I heard on MTV news that Accept has a new album!  I think it was
    supposed to be released TODAY.  
    
    They have another singer (I guess Udo wouldn't come back), so I have
    serious questions about how it'll sound.

    I always liked Accept. Fast as ashark is my fav.

                Personally, I like  Udo's  voice.    I  only have
                `Balls to the Wall'  but  without  that voice, it
                takes  the  harsh  side of  Accept  away.    When
                someone  gets the tape/cd/album, give it  a  good
                once  over  review so I can decide  if  I  wanna'
                spend the bux on it.  Thanks. :^)

                Thanks Pete.    .  .I'll give that one a shot.  I
                wasn't sure what  would  be  a  good second album

    re: .15
    
    >It could only sound better! [...withoug Udo]
    
    I could understand why people might not like his voice, it's really
    raw, but I can't imagine Accept without it.  Then again, I thought
    AC/DC was done for when Bon Scott died, but I've really enjoyed the
    albums they've done with Brian Johnson.  I'm willing to give it a
    chance.

    I saw a video by Accept on the Head_____'s Ball saturday with the
    new lead singer, can't remember the name of the tune or the album,
    but it definitely didn't have that "Balls To The Wall" grit to it,
    it was more polished.  It was a great tune, but not the Accept I
    was used to hearing.

Absolutely! "Balls to the Wall" is their best album, and should definitely be 
your next purchase!

                Flip.  .  .I'd vote for any of their older stuff.
                My intro was  `Balls  to  the Wall'.  I know `BK'
                would agree.  I think my hearing is still damaged
                from his blasting it on  the  way  back  from The

I've got Balls to the Wall......I've also got bits and pieces of their

definately!

    
    Well, Restless and Wild came out before BTTW soooooo that's early
    enough ain't it?!?!?!

    Definetly get "Restless and Wild". But get the import if ya can, it
    came out about 4 years before they went "legal" (for lack of a better
    word) in the U.S.. Also "Accept-Accept". is good. All there import
    stuff is the best Accept, IMO of course.

    someone else doing the lyrics.

    "ello Dave,
    
            As you know i purchased 'Eat The Heat' although before
    seeing the video to 'Generation Clash' i had little thought of
    following them any longer, since Udo, the Jorg and now Steffan
    have left. Nothing will ever top 'Restless and Wild' as far as
    i am concerned, still i have gone against my previous judgement
    and got a copy and i like it although for me they are no longer
    Accept but another heavy polished sounding commercial act. I like
    the new singers voice though, perhaps they should be called POSTACCEPT,
    or ACCEPT-TURNS-OVER-A-NEW-LEAF, try fitting that on an lp/cd/cassette
    cover.

 I bought 'Kaziouka Ban' after seeing Accept on their Russian Roulette tour,
my favourite track is "Up to the Limit" (off the Metal Heart album). I must
admit that of the 30 odd bands (only 30 they cry !), Accept were by far the
loudest and most powerfull, i only wish they had played more than just 
'Fast as a shark' and 'Princess of the Dawn' off of Restless And Wild. Even 
on the latter track there was none of the brilliant riff in the middle.

    Hi,
    There is a compilation CD from Restless & Wild and Balls to the Wall
    ,also German I think, and it's really amazing. I bought it one year ago
    and is one of my favourites. I don't know what it does not include from
    the original LPs but it's pure heavy metal. Have anyone seen Russian
    Roulette on CD ?

    I got last week a CD compilation from older Accept material named
    "Metal masters". I think it is good only for die-hard fans. I was
    disapointed by the production but there were some good ballads (yes I
    said ballads) which proved Udo can sing mellower songs. Udo's voice was
    not so rough at that time but was also less original. Also the typical
    Accept heavy punching is missing.
    Finally I enjoyed only the ballads (the rest sounding a little bit
    old). I still like in exchange "Russian roulette" and the excellent
    compilation from "Restless.. and Balls to the wall".

    Question:
    
    In the song "Fast As A Shark" can someone please fill in the following:
    
    	On a one-way trip,
    	And you're not coming back,
    	_______ Killers,
    	On the attack...

Re .84 (Stevie D)

I haven't listened to this song for many a long day, so the following might
be incorrect. However, I think it runs like this:

    On a one way trip and you're not coming back
    'cos the Killer's on the attack

Does this seem right?

I just got the latest copy of Metal Hammer (UK edition), and sure enough
there is an item in the News section, AND 3 page article in the main 
body of the magazine.

The line up is the original one of:

	Wolf Hoffman (guitar)
	Peter Baltes (bass)
	Stefan Kaufmann (drums)
	Udo Dirkschneider (vocals)

They are working on new material, with an album tentatively scheduled for
the Autumn. Apparently, it is going very well. One member of the band is 
quoted as saying:

"We're having such a good time. It's like it was in the days of 'Balls to 
to the Wall'...The atmosphere is really creative."

It seems as though the reunion was prompted by numerous requests from
their fans.

Me? I can't wait.....

Keef.

    YEY!

    It`s suprised me the response to Accept reforming.
    
    Let`s hope they go back to the style of Restless and Wild as opposed
    to Russian Roulette.
    

    The latter Accept was shite (Russian Roulette).  Gimme R&W/BTTW
    anyday!

    Balls... totally roolz!  It should have been on the top 50 hm list for

    we were being invaded and FREAKED! I'm sure my Dad was having Nam
    flashbacks and he wasn't even in THAT war. 8)
    
         That's once of the reasons they REFUSE to listen to any of my
    music anymore.

    when I lived with my parents(many moons ago)my old dear(mum)heard it
    and pissed herself laughing...!
    
    
    
                                      I don't think she took it seriously

    When i wuz at school (which shows how old this song is),i had to "do"
    an assembly,and it wuz something to do with Germany or folk music or
    some such nonsense. 
    
    So i put "Fast As A Shark" as an example of authentic German folk
    music. They were impressed for the 1st few seconds then i wuz told to 
    turn it off as the scream and guitars came in. Eeeeh,did i get
    bollocked for that.
    
    ho!ho! etc.
    

    hargh,hargh,hargh!!!

    Accept are back together and a new album is being recorded -
    yeeeeeeeesssssss!
    
    "OBJECTION OVERRULED" is due out in late January/February - it's
    been recorded, produced and mixed by Accept and apparently the songs
    on it are pure, classic Accept.  It's the usual mixture of fast and slow 
    numbers - but Ah, who cares what it sounds like - I'm gonna buy it
    anyway..

    Wow, the new album got reviewed and managed a massive
    1 out of 5.  Main objections to it appeared to be they didn't
    come from Seattle and neither did they sound like Nirvanha/
    Ministry.  Instead it sounded like an Accept album which to
    the reviewer meant it was dated, cliched(sic) early 80's rock
    and therefore crap.
    
    Release date of 2 Feb in the UK.
    
    F.M.

    If it got a crap review,it must be good.
    

    Who reviewed it?

    Good question - unfortunately I'm one of those folks who
    goes into the shop, reads the magazine on the shelf and then
    walks out again.  (Just doing my bit to wreck the worlds
    economy!)   
    
    I guess one of them would be Metal Hammer 
    and if I remember properly they also carried 
    an interview with the band which was fairly reasonable.  The
    other magazine I can't remember - but I think it was one of the
    ones selling CD's with it - probably MCD or RCD.
    
    The albums out today but I blew the money on Pearl Jam and 
    Alice in Chains disks so I guess I'll have to wait another
    week or so for it.

    	Picked up "Death Row" last week ... pretty good version of "Pomp
    	and Circumstance" [instrumental], which starts to really kick in
    	towards the end.
    
    	Haven't listened to the whole album yet.
    

    
    Is Udo still singing for the band? I got his Mean Streets, it is ok,
    but I prefer him with Accept! :-)
    
    Mike
    

    
    	Yes, he's on the new one.
    

    
    Udo was accept!They were definately not the same without him.One of the
    finest and most under-rated metal bands ever!

    Accept definitely had some kickin stuff.. I like the album they had 
    that video for, the one where you best not have an upset stomach to
    watch (since the whole video is spinning...) 
    
    Whit-

    
    Picked up 'Metal Heart' last night. I always did like this album, even
    way way back in high school. It sounds so much better on CD then on
    cassette.
    
    Dave

everything sounds better on cd than on tape...tapes suck!
