Acedece (AC/DC)
Parraleños
A Nostalgic Anthem for Rock and Metal Lovers
The song 'Acedece (AC/DC)' by Parraleños is a passionate ode to classic rock and heavy metal music. The lyrics express frustration with the current state of mainstream radio, which the singer feels is filled with 'porquería' or garbage. This sentiment is a common one among rock and metal enthusiasts who often feel that their preferred genres are underrepresented in popular media. The singer longs for a time when the airwaves were dominated by the powerful sounds of rock and metal bands from the '70s and '80s.
The song lists iconic bands and artists such as AC/DC, Rush, Steve Vai, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Metallica, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and Rage Against the Machine. This roll call serves as a reminder of the golden era of rock and metal, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reverence for these musical legends. The mention of these bands also highlights the diversity within the rock and metal genres, from the hard-hitting riffs of AC/DC to the intricate guitar work of Steve Vai.
The lyrics also touch on the communal aspect of heavy metal culture, with references to headbanging and the iconic 'cuernitos' or devil horns hand gesture. This imagery conjures up the energy and camaraderie of metal concerts, where fans come together to celebrate their shared love for the music. The repeated chant of 'aguante el metal' (long live metal) underscores the enduring passion and loyalty of metal fans, who continue to support the genre despite its marginalization in mainstream media.
