The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

Maybe a stretch? But it always seemed to me that Dino's Bar & Grill is a central part of the song, and there was some altercation that went down over at Johnny's place. So, I'll throw it out here:

That one has reminded me of another song I might add to my list... not a Lizzy one though!

Pick #4

Rush - YYZ



I'm sure I don't need to tell you that YYZ is the airport code for Toronto Pearson International Airport. This is the live version from Exit... Stage Left which includes the drum solo.

"Video unavailable" on ZZz's pick so I don't know which Maiden song it is...


For my fourth pick I'm gonna go with a very specific road that surely holds a very special place in the heart of the man who wrote the song...


This one comes from the second Geezer Butler solo album and it's called TRINITY ROAD!




This isn't among my favourites off the album but it's still a pretty good rocker.

@Charger - it was Iron Maiden's "Still Life". Ticks me off when "official" channels on YouTube don't show in certain markets when others have no issue with Finnish people seeing them...

Deep Purple's "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming"

I like to be on the road every now and again, keeps things lively and fresh. But every now and again, there's a stretch that goes on too long, and yet again, I'm missing my wife in a room with a king size bed in a hotel somewhere. That's when I play this song and take the edge off that sadness, because I can share it with the lads in Deep Purple and commiserate.

A song about a bar, by a road.

Question: When you woke up this morning, did you get yourself a beer?

I was uncertain what the future held for me during the day, so I refrained.

For #5 I'm gonna go with yet another abstract road...but it's still a road!


DYNAMITE ROAD by ALICE COOPER!




A great little rocker with Alice delivering some killer lyrics with a bit of an Ian Gillan-style vocals.

Moving right along with my 5th choice...

The Damned - Street of Dreams



1985s Phantasmagoria kicks off with this really good song. I thought there might be more songs by them which fit the category, fortunately this is a pretty good song.

Heading Out to the Highway - Judas Priest

Off of their 1981 release Point of Entry. Much like the album, I like this tune and feel it is underrated. However, Point of Entry has one of the worst covers. I remember seeing it at the record store and wondering if it was some kind of mistake or joke!

And yeah, this video...first time I saw it was just now when I was looking for a clip to post. Hoo-boy lol
