"Blind Leading The Blind" Lyrics
If you keep a bad dog with you the good ones they won’t bite
A necessary evil it doesn’t matter if it’s right
Oh it’s great to be the king just keep your head in the game
Dropping like flies around you their loss is your gain
You’re throwing pearls before the swine hope they don’t flinch
You know there’s no defense
Just pay the piper or you get found in a ditch
Chorus
It’s just the blind leading the blind
The truth got left behind
The blind leading the blind
It’s stop now or never mind
You think that you can whip them with one arm behind your back
It’s not over till it’s over then everything goes black
Stop listening to all the voices in your head
The Devil’s Advocate is never far behind
You’re better off dead
It’s just the blind leading the blind
The truth got left behind
The blind leading the blind
Throw pearls before the swine
The blind leading the blind
It’s stop now or never mind
Got no axe to grind
Just see through the lies
Dropping like flies around you, their loss is your gain
Oh it’s great to be the king just keep your head in the game
You’re throwing pearls before the swine hope they don’t flinch
You know there’s no defense
Just pay the piper or you get found in a ditch
It’s just the blind leading the blind
The truth got left behind
The blind leading the blind
Throw pearls before the swine
The blind leading the blind
It’s stop now or never mind
Chorus

As for the music, Richie Faulkner describes it as “a mix of Jimi Hendrix, Priest, Sabbath, solo Ozzy and Black Label Society - heavy, catchy, and with melody. Sort of old school and modern at once if that makes any sense, and actually down-tuned a whole step. The Marshall Plexi basically does one thing, but you’ve got to crank it to 11 for it to have that distorted sound. It hasn’t got a lot of bells and whistles on it or different channels and effects. It basically does one thing and does it very well. But again down-tuning creates more of a modern sound, and by using the classic sound of the Marshall Plexi, you get that juxtaposition, that contrast. All told, there are a lot of guitar solos and the songs are on the heavier side. And even though there’s a lot of melody, it’s still going to shake your bones.”
Specific to the songs, Richie explains that “Me and acoustic don’t really get along, so there’s only one mellow song on it, a sort of smoky, haunted, New Orleans kind of tune called ‘Ghost of You,’ with de-tuned 1920s piano on it. That one is about a memory, or ghost of a lost love. But that’s about as acoustic as it gets. I’m not really attracted to acoustic guitar in general. It’s mainly kind of heavy and full-on, really. There’s a song called ‘White Horse,’ plus ‘Horns for a Halo’, which is like Tony Iommi crossed with Alice in Chains. That’s about the way we justify the bad things we do. When we turn up on Judgement Day, will the angels kind of confuse our horns for halos, if you know what I mean.”
But really, the over-arching mandate with Elegant Weapons is to perpetuate the rich legacy of the traditional proto-power metal invented by the heavy metal titans of the ‘70s and ‘80s, most pertinently Richie’s own band, Judas Priest. And in 2023, fans will finally get to hear what this promising new band sounds like - with the arrival of ‘Horns for a Halo.’

Dude's aorta burst live on stage and he still managed to come back with this....Godspeed Faulkner 🤘🤘
From the Jab.
@@Neilbear5820 get a life
And he even finished his solo after it burst.
Bro is a metal legend!
The fact it was the painkiller solo aswell is just more metal
Faulkner is on top of it again. Great player
What a killer song!
The guitar hero Richie, fan of Michael Schenker, Ronnie Romero Michael Schenker Group's singer...well...as a Michael Schenker fan myself...what can I say...I'm in heaven!
Can't wait for the album...
Long live good melodic Hard-Rock, long live ELEGANT WEAPONS !! 🤘
Ronnie is always great. Born 40 years too late. He is definitely on the Mt. Rushmore of Metal.
Jorn Lande.
The Harmony vocals in the chorus sound brilliant... Blind leading the Blind kicks ass. Ronnie sounds perfect
Love this! Total 80’s Metal vibe! Hellzzzzz Yaaaaaa! 🖤🐈⬛🖤
My fav from Elegant Weapons. For many many years all my guitar hero’s came from the 70’s and 80’s. Then Faulkner joins my fav band Judas Priest and lights a fire in the Mighty Priest that energized them again Firepower especially) Humble and incredibly talented. Rock on Falcon.!! Prayers for Glenn Tipton!
80s style hard rock still lives. Would love to hear more speedy stuff by them.
this is going to be amazing!🤘🔥
With this band you get half of Judas Priest which guarantees the album will be at least 50% better than most albums this year.
you can hear the Judas Priest Touch in Faulkners guitar playing...
Not really half of Judas Priest, more like 2/5ths.
@@arnoweldert6797 Yeah, but Ritchie is freer to express his own style here, without Glenn or Andy.
@@jamesigou9033 absolutly! But you hear J.P. in his playing. He got used so much to play this way, that you can hear it...
Melodic, fluid, charismatic lead soloing began with Schenker/UFO, and Faulkner continues the legacy. Thanks Richie. James
What a great track. I can't wait to hear more from the band! 👍
Richie is one of the best old school shredder players!!.... Long Live Rock'n'Roll
Magnific! Old school hard-rock! Huge sound and vocals! So unexpected! Keep going Richie! 💪😮🤘
Richie and Ronnie together, oh my. Judas Priest and Lords Of Black, 2 of my favs. Insta-buy when this CD is released. Thanks guys for giving me a happy.
Great track. Faulkner is an amazing player and writer.
I love that this song has a character and sound like it came straight from Judas Priest's "Firepower".
What a killer song...my beloved Ritchie Faulkner and Scott Travis from Priest are just killing it with quality hard'n'heavy!
I get a Scorpions vibe outta this. Love the riff, Ritchie always has great tone. This album won't disappoint and will be full of surprises.
As soon as you said Scorpions I heard it as well! Good call!
i hear Priest and Michael Schenker too
Of course
Me too
Romero has a little bit of a Klais this going on
Im so happy to be a first gen fan of a band thats just formed the other day so to speak this song is a beauty and screams quality
Lovin this vibe by Richie. Looking forward to the full release more than ever now! 🤘🤘🤘
Love the message ! Found a new fav band . Long live metal !
Message is the Covidians are blind leading the blind.
What a lineup. Great song and I love the Animal farm-esque video!
This song is fuckin' awesome!!! Great vocals, riff and solos!!! Can't wait to hear others by these amazing guys!
Really good song. And Kudos for Ritchie to not sounding like Priest! Do a song with KK!!!
That's really great and cool music
I already fell in love with this band, I'm really looking forward to the album. Rock on guys 🤟🏻🔥
this deserves a live video so much... fucking amazing
amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Congratulations and much success to the band 🔥🔥
One of the very best heavy rock bands out there right now. So good!
Crisp and fresh and a delight for my ears to hear.
My favorite 2023 song at the moment. Can't wait for the album. Richie maintains the legacy of Micheal Schenker, Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde. The track is now in my ProTools, gonna turn on the 100W wall and unleash the lead guitar, fuck yeah. RIP neighborhood...
Absolutely love this album! one of the best I've heard in a long time!
I getting a real Dio/Heaven & Hell/Schenker/Scorpions vibe off this. Proper music. Quality 👏👏🙌🤘
Sounds like every late 80s metal band.
Just average, that's the problem of today's metal... nothing that hasn't been heard before. But the solo has a Maiden sound that always hits me
Fantastic song from Metal Supergroup !!!
Knowing this is a "supergroup" I expected not much and... Well, I got what I expected, I suppose. Just another okay-ish rock/metal oriented song that will drown in the sea of dozens of others.
Ever since Metal Allegiance I've learned that "supergroup" is just a codename for "old legends making music far below their standard to make easy money by name recognition" and if anyone wants a good modern heavy metal, you should focus on bands like Ambush, Blade Killer, Haunt, Wolf, Mystic Prophecy or even Eclipse and H.E.A.T., if you don't mind a little AOR in your metal.
It also doesn't help when these legendary musician record far better music in their respective bands than for this unified effort.
Also, "plus ‘Horns for a Halo’, which is like Tony Iommi crossed with Alice in Chains."? Well, this is gonna suck.
Anything featuring the great Rex Brown has my vote!!
Can’t wait for the album!!!
I will never not adore hearing that richie tone!!!!
killer!!!!
Absolutely adore this song 🤟💪💯
You guys rock! Greetings from Colombia.
Killer music and video! Ready to hear more from this band! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Everytime I play it ,it gets better and better ! Oh my god ,I think it's the best thing I've heard this year !!!!
Way to go, Ronnie! Brilliant as always!
Nice job Richie 🤘🤘 I like it 🔥🔥☄☄ Metal on Metal Maniacs 🤘🤘
Great animation! Love Natalia’s work 😍
Richie's playing is absolutely fantastic and his tone is awesome!
Ronnie's vocal are still as impressive as ever!
Now as for who the hell are on bass and drums is quite confusing... I thought that it was supposed to be Rex Brown and Scott Travis which both happen to be in the description, but I also see that Dave Rimmer and Christopher Williams are there, so now I don't know who to thank, but thanks to all those who took care of the rythm section as it keeps the song very powerful and allows Richie to solo many passages of the song!
Amazing work all around!!!
Album lineup is Rex Brown and Scott Travis. Touring lineup is Dave Rimmer and Christopher Williams.
@@KevinQ1989 Oh! I didn't see that anywhere else, so I was sort of confused... Thanks for clarifying that matter, it makes much more sense now!
Great music, bravo, great video💣
Good stuff... need to hear more
Awesome tune. More please!
Classic british Hard/Heavy!
Thank you for RHRF!! Can't wait to hear the rest!!
Love this cd \m/!
I can't be the only one getting a "Animal Farm" vibe from this video
absolutely :)
Hell yes! Love it! Faulkner killing it again!
This cd was overlooked
Good track. Sad that this star line-up won't be at gigs :(...
Theres still hope!! Thanks for this!!
Great song Ritchie and band.
Love it! I can’t wait to hear the full album!
Blessed be
Rock on! Guitars are awesome I wish I could’ve seen you guys instead of all the animation my only complaint want to see your beautiful faces❤
A good solid song. Approved.
This song gives me hope for the hard rock / heavy metal genre! There is new blood on the horizon and it's sounding damn good!
There is ton more than this. Most more traditional heavy metal.
Excelente !!!!!! Aire fresco ...algo nuevo.. distinto..genial tema ...💪👏👏👏👏
Kinda new 2 this band but like em so far,very cool🤘
Looking forward to the cd
you can hear the Judas Priest Touch in Faulkners guitar playing...
Judas Priest/ Lizzy Borden vibes amazing work

That's really not the kind of music that i like but that's really a track that I like
Pretty good. I'd down load the album for sure.
Pure old school metal with a new era touch. Just great.

Deep purple and rainbow are my favorite band Romero can-do-no-wrong
Wicked Guitar Tones
This clip is relevant for today's century. Only the ending, alas, does not reach all bad politicians. They still remain untouchable. The song is cool and it's a pity that the clip is gaining few views. Guys don't throw the group. And create real music.✊✊✊🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
Excellent can’t wait for the album
Great song !
A perfect mix : Judas, MSG and Def Lep...
Really liking this album Faulkners on top and shredding it 🙏
Masterpiece!
Great🤘
Very much looking forward to this!
🤘❣️🤘
First time hearing this, I Love Metal good music here!
Can't wait for the next single and the rest of the album!
Really digging this, I'm a big Judas Priest fan and it definitely has that Firepower sound.
Tremendo!!! Felicidades chicos🤘
Intenses 🤘🤘🤘
Cool tune , Romeros grasp of the English language isn't the best at times but he's pretty well on point with this one . 😉
Love it!!!❤❤
Riff & solo master, as always mr Faulkner
Great song! Looking forward to more!
Great Song with a great melody and a catchy Refrain.
I can't wait til I get the full Album :)
Does Anybody knows why Scott Travis ist not in the Band anymore/or does not playing live with them?
I don't find any Information about this.
Настоящих мастеров своего дела сразу слышно
I’ll take this over KKs Priest anyday!!
Rimmer's adding that Heep style, it's kind cool. Although this is now just making me want to listen to "Chaos and Colour" some more hehe.
Can not wait !!! 🦅
