Německý metalový soubor založený v Solingenu v r. 1971, přirovnáván m.j. k Judas Priest. Rozpoznávacím znakem je hlas Udo Dirkschneidera, zpívajícího výhradně anglicky.
První stabilnější sestava je až z r. 1974. Prvním úspěchem bylo vystoupení...
Hey, here I am, I'm feelin' good
Takin' a ride on hot summer night
'cause on a long, hot, hot summer night
Just don't know why I know what I am
So let 'em keep on runnin'
So let 'em keep on chasin' me
Yes, here I am, all heavy legged
Been dancin' on, on a hot summer night
Call me a scrounger, a degenerate bum
Everyday hear it over again
So let 'em keep on runnin'
So let 'em keep on chasin' me
You are down and out
When you're just being yourself
We ain't down and out
Man take look at yourself
See a summernight sky
I feel like runnin'
I feel like livin'
the way I do
That's how I am,
what I'm doin's right, it ain't wrong
I'm livin' this way,
if livin' is true
So let 'em keep on runnin'
But let 'em keep on chasin' me
You are down and out
When you're just being yourself
We ain't down and out
Man take look at yourself
You're always sayin',
I'm sleepin' all day
A day's too long to sleep it all away
You gotta think it over, over again
My eyes may be closed
but I'm livin' within
Let 'em keep on runnin'
So let 'em keep on chasin' me
You are down and out
When you're just being yourself
We ain't down and out
Man take look at yourself
You are down and out
When you're just being yourself
We ain't down and out
Man take look at yourself
