#All For the Glory

[sluttery-withoutshame]

Inspired by @rolandrockover’s post below about All For The Glory I got inspired to listen to Sonic Boom on my run today. It occurred to me that the songs they let Eric sing on those last two albums start with “All For..” and one thing lead to another and I came up with this.

I do love that font but I also thought what if I meet him one day and I actually get him to write the words himself around the tattoo, then get that tattooed on?

It might not turn out so round and symmetrical, so if I was going to do that, I’d probably get him to write it in lines.

But right now it’s all just theoretical.

Out on the Streets for the Glory

All For the Glory is one of those songs on Sonic Boom (2009) that is a little more cleverly linked to previous, mostly clearly older Kiss klassiks. To this end, I'd just boldly suggest that All for the Glory has a fundamental core in common with Black Diamond from Kiss' Debut album (1974) .

I think most readers here should be familiar with the ending of Black Diamond on the debut album. You know, the one that sounds like the tonal equivalent of a melting chocolate-caramel bar that slowly and ever-so-slowly drips out of a even slower-moving, overweight person's back pocket, who ends up sitting on it, like in slow motion, and until ultimately not much more than a flat, unidentifiable mass remains.

I have to tell you I'm not at all concerned with this passage (1) , but a whole lot more with this suffering, endlessly drawn-out guitar solo drama that wraps itself around the slowed-down main riff, right before this chocolate-caramel meltdown.

And this is precisely where All for the Glory picks up, and most of all, builds on on its own. With a feel of that Black Diamond solo drama and the attitude of a sports motivation trainer. Which seriously tempts me to come up with another camparison, this time one from the world of sports movies:

If Black Diamond is Rocky, then All For the Glory is Rocky III, oder maybe even Rocky IV.

And if you briefly consider that the original Rocky movie was a sensitive love story and underdog sports and social drama with one of the most culturally memorable soundtracks of the 70s, and Rocky IV on the other hand an over-stylized 80s video clip montage with a good shot of revenge movie fighting action with wealthy bodybuilders, and a Cold War focus on top of that, these two films could hardly be more different in all their devices and messages. They both work quite well independently of each other, but still remain linked to the central subject of an somehow likeable soul who, armed with more heart than brains, simply refuses to give up, and keeps fighting.

Except for the one time when Rocky gets knocked out by Clubber Lang, to which the chocolate melting sequence from Black Diamond would fit perfectly on the other hand.

But wait a minute, that happened in Rocky III.

Side Note:

(1) I just love the comparison and felt the need to smuggle it in somehow.

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her

If I hadn't already figured it out a long time ago, these 8 seconds alone of Kit glaring at Elora would have been a huuuuge awakening for me...!

There's just SO much going on here - it's pretty much a damn near perfect film-making cocktail of a sequence.

The lighting, the colour choices, the cinematography, the water, the editing, the music, the way the music kicks in, the backdrop, the breeze dancing through her hair, the tension, the insane level of effortless intensity washing over her face.

I mean, just look at this.....!!!

Then, the "Come with me" to Jade without altering her stare for a second. And then, I mean, just everything else that follows.

Ugh, it's just so, so good!

And because it really deserves to be enjoyed with sound, here's a full 45 seconds cut in all its glory:

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.

Heartburn and Stoned

80's movies week.

In certain hardcore fan circles, Sword and Stone is often confused with Time Traveller, or rather Time Traveler with Sword and Stone. Incidentally, these are the same fans who, for example, also prefer to confuse All For the Glory with All For the Love of Rock N' Roll. No wonder, because after all Eric Singer sings both titles. Who wouldn't make such a faux pas? (1)

In the case of Sword and Stone, however, there is a direct reference to the OST of the 80s box office hit Rocky IV due to its great similarity to the beginning of Survivor's Burning Heart, which, tied to the strict idiocy alluded to above, makes Time Traveller preferable and not infrequently associated with training montages, although this title has more than little in common with the music taking place there and its zeitgeisty visualization. What else can I say?

Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about now, but believe me you will when it's over. You will when it's over!

Side Note:

(1) I can't keep track of two titles either.

Sword and Stone (1986)

Burning Heart (1985)
