Another fairly forgotten song from "Creatures Of The Night". I especially like th
e rhythm work
in this song as it reminds me of "Parasite" a bit. The solo is based loosely on a
pentatonic
scale, but it also has alot of 80's flash and Vinnie's fast playing thrown in.

ROCK AND ROLL HELL

[Intro]
[Guitar Out]

Been under fire sixteen years, just waitin' for his time to come
He fought the lies, fought back the tears, can't wait to hear that starting
gun

[Rhythm Fig. 1] w/[Riff. 1]
There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams
So he held his hands high and screamed

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
He's on the edge, he can feel it in his heart
This time the pressure's really on
He's gonna fight it, might even steal a guitar
This time tomorrow he'll be gone

[Rhythm Fig. 1] w/[Riff. 1]
There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do
Think he's a little like me and you, yeah

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell

[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig. 4]
[Riff. 2]

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
He's on the run, won't stand for second place, but his turn may never come
He's not a victim, you can see it in his face
But he can't see what he's become

[Rhythm Fig. 1] w/[Riff. 1] w/[Riff. 3] at end
Well, he wants it bad, but he wants no charity
He seems to think it's his destiny

[Rhythm Fig. 2] (Until End) w/ [Riff. 4] & [Riff.5]
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
