Post what you think are the most badass songs ever... and by badass I don't mean just great songs but ones with ATTITUDE! Whether it is plain hard rock or rebel songs.. whatever, songs that make you go... "damn , that's fucking badass!!! :rockon:" :wink:

The first song that comes to my mind (and really the whole album qualifies...) is

Nightrain - Guns n Roses
Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
Well, I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight :rockon:

Miami - U2
Love the movies...love to walk those movie sets
Get to shoot someone in the foot
Get to smoke some cigarettes
No big deal we know the score
Just back from the video store
Got the car and the car chase
What's he got inside the case
I want a close up of that face
Here comes the car chase :rockon:

Rearviewmirror - Pearl Jam
Saw things!!!
Saw things!!!
Saw things!!!
Saw things!!!
Clearer!
Clearerrrr... once you, were in my... rearviewmirror!!!
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey... :rockon:

You get the idea... ;)
 
Sinatra - I Did It My Way

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
 
^ Awesome pick! :hi5: Yeah it doesn't have to be hard rock, lol.

Oh how could I forget this one...

Wherever I May Roam - Metallica
And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
And my ties are severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

:drool: :drool: :drool:
 
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Don't ya?
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl 'cause she's
Not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Don't ya?
Oh?
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo


Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?

So what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Where'd you wanna go?
What can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Ooo, your face is a mess
Ooo, ooo, so how could they know?
Eh, eh, how could they know?
Eh, eh

I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen
Sometimes its like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

:drool: :drool: :drool:
 
Abba - Does Your Mother Know

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
 
Sorry I HAVE to post at least one more...

It's No Good - Depeche Mode
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good[/i]

:cool: DM is so made for this thread! :drool: :wink:
 
Not really thinking badass when I picture ABBA, or the glam androgyny of Bowie.

Or Depeche Mode.

How about Madonna, Express Yourself?

That's hard to bet against, right there. Though Dancing Queen is probably a close second and Some Kind of Friend by Manilow is nipping at their heels.

Last Caress by the Misfits:

I got something to say
I killed a baby today.
Don't mean that much to me, so long as it's dead.
I got something say
I raped your mother today
Doesn't mean that much to me so long as she's dead.Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
 
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild :rockon:

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town

Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
 
Continuing on the hair metal theme... :wink:

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are those

Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls,Girls, Girls
Dancin' down on the Sunset Strip
Girls, Girls, Girls
Red lips, fingertips

:rockon: :dance:
 
Skid Row - nice. Also by them Piece of Me:

I don't have looks, I don't have money
But I know one thing's for sure
One night ain't enough of my love
She wanted more, more, more

Sleazin' in the city
Lookin' for a fight
Got my heels and lookin' pretty
On a Saturday night, night, night

One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me
 
Green Day - The Grouch


I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
This world owes me so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch and so am I
The world owes me so fuck you

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view

I've decomposed yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my Dad
I'm always rude, I've a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you

The wife's a nag and the kids fucking up
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me so fuck you

Haha that song always cracks me up every time I give that album a spin! Also, Nice Guys Finish Last is pretty funny too.

Don't pat yourself on your back, you might break your spine! :lol:

50 Ft Queenie by PJ Harvey:

Heyyyyyyyy I'm one big queen
No one can stop me
Red light red green
Sat back and watching
I'm your new one
Second to no one
No sweat I'm clean
Nothing can touch me

Tell you my name
F U and C K
50ft queenie
Force ten hurricane
Biggest woman
I could have ten sons
Ten gods ten queens
Ten foot and rising

Hey I'm the king of the world
You oughta hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm twenty inches long

Glory, glory
Lay it all on me
50ft queenie
50 and rising
You bend over
Casanova
No sweat Im clean
Nothing can touch me

Hey I'm the king of the world
You oughta hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm twenty inches long

Hey I'm king of the world
You oughta hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm thirty inches long

Hey I'm king of the world
You oughta hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm forty inches long

Hey I'm king of the world
You oughta hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm fifty inches long

Spare me the suspense
Spare me the suspense
I got no currency, but I'm heaven-sent

So spare me the suspense
Just spare me the suspense

Hey, lady wraith
Oh, I so hope you try
You're late, babe you know it's your time

I won't let you sit by
So cold in the pitch night
Alone you can't make amends

No, I won't let you sit by
So cold in the pitch night
We should dance like two fucking twins
Just spare me the suspense

There are seven ancient pawnshops along the road
I know seven aching daddies you may want to know

Oooohhh, right on

Hey, lady wraith
Oh baby I can't deny
I got a taste, a taste, a taste and it's time

But I won’t let you sit by
So cold in the pitch night
Alone you can’t make amends

No, I won’t let you sit by
So cold in the pitch night
It’s enough with this fucking incense
Just spare me the suspense

There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
Oh I know seven aging daddies you may want to know

When you played your heart out
You made me turn around


Wait, oh you froze in the night
You're late, there's a hole in the sky
No haste, no lesson, no lie
Got a taste that I can't deny

(Spare me the suspense)

And you wait till you know that it's time,
You wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
You say to me, set black fires, do you know?
You say to me, set black fires
Click to expand...

spare me the suspense bitches :drool:
 
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number

There's the winner.

Hell, it's been sung in front of convicted killers and rapists.

And their cheer for it is fucking creepy.

All this other shit is just posing.

Lest we count GNR's cover of that Charlie Manson tune.
