I'll introduce my favorite musician. Do you know Zebrahead? I think they are the strongest of the party rock bands. They make a lot of songs thatalways make it fun for the audience, and they've crazy. If you listen to their songs, I think maybe you will be favorite it. Meanwhile, they had their 20th anniversary this year. So then I'll get straight to the point about their history. They formed in 1996 in La Habra, California in the United States. Now there are five members and there are two vocalists. The most well-known member is Ali Tabatabae. He's in charge of rapping as one of the vocalists. In fact, He was not a member of Zebrahead at first. The guitarist of "409" Greg Bergdorf, the drummer, Ed Udhus (he is in the "409", too), The bass of the "3-Ply", Ben Osmundson. And Justin Mauriello as took charge of vocal and guitaristin "Once There". They always use a studio space for sp. Then each tried to play a session in there place. After that, they got along well, and they formed a new band "Zebrahead" to pursue profit music. Their band style was influenced by Fugazi (a famous rock band), and Descendents (a California punk rock band). After that they tried to include a Hip Hop style. Then they got a new member, Ali Tabatabae as joined the rapper vocalist. In 2004, the vocalist Justin left Zebrahead, a new member joined Matty Lewis. By the way Justin is forming a new band. This is the hisrtory of Zebrahead. Today' I'll introduce, "Ready Steady Go". This song is a cover song by Zebrahead. It was originally made by "L'Arc~en~Ciel", a Japanese band. I was surpris. "Ready Steady Go" is a very famous song in Japan. It was originally used as the opening an animation. So I think maybe you might know it. Please try to listen to it.「Ready Steady Go」 ~Zebrahead~
Ready steady give me good luck
Ready steady never look back
Let’s get started, ready steady go
Out the gates, I’m rocketing faster
Supersonic, natural disaster
I may be desperate tonight
I’m never giving up
I won’t change my mind
I don’t need a compass to guide me
I don’t need a light to see clearly
I’m gonna finally get the truth
I’m gonna find a way
Find a way to you
Can’t stop me now (stop me now)
Lights out, kicking and screaming
My heart can hear the echo of your voice
and I can’t let go
‘Til I’m under your skin
Can’t stop me now (stop me now)
Lights out, no rhyme or reason
And now my pulse is speeding up on me
Too fast to hit the brakes, no time to stop
Steady Go
Ready, Steady, Steady, Go
Don’t you know my heart is still aching?
Left without a soul that you’ve taken
Not going down without a fight
I’m never giving up
I won’t change my mind
I’d give it all if I could just see you
Hold my breath ’til I could just reach you
So I’m talking to myself
What am I gonna say
Gonna say to you
Can’t stop me now (stop me now)
Lights out, kicking and screaming
My heart can hear the echo of your voice
and I can’t let go
‘Til I’m under your skin
Can’t stop me now (stop me now)
Lights out, no rhyme or reason
And now my pulse is speeding up on me
Too fast to hit the brakes, no time to stop
Steady Go
Running on empty your like gasoline
When you’re pumping through my veins
I’m a mean machine
Shooting stars in the sky smashing
silver screens
With the hope I’m getting hooked,
just call me a fiend
So come and pick me up cuz I’m on a low
And I won’t let you down and I won’t let go
As the countdown starts, I need you to know
That I’m ready, steady, ready, steady.......go!
Ready steady can’t hold me back
Ready steady give me good luck
Ready steady never look back
Let’s get started, ready steady go
Can’t stop me now (stop me now)
Lights out, kicking and screaming
My heart can hear the echo of your voice
and I can’t let go
‘Til I’m under your skin
Can’t stop me now (stop me now)
Lights out, no rhyme or reason
And now my pulse is speeding up on me
Too fast to hit the brakes, no time to stop
Steady Go
Please trust me

This is playing the guitar quickly, and singing a song with high speed. I can't speak English fluently, so I'm having a hard time remember the lyrics. I could get it song by my mouth recently. Let's give a shot if you don't mind. Zebrahead recently worked in collaboration with a Japanese rock band. As you can see from the photo, Man With A Mission is with Zebrahead. Do you know Man With A Mission? Man With A Mission are always wearing a wolf mask, and they never reveal their identity. So no one knows who they are. They're tried a collaboration and held big events. They have a lot in common. They thought to make something exciting like fighting. They made, a song made like a conflict on a boxing stage. The name is "Out Of Control.". The trigger of the composition is they have had a close friendship a long time, Man with A Mission tried make lyrics for the collaboration. It took only a week. The members of Zebrahead were suprised when they heard it. That song could be a magnum opus of their limited collaboration. "Out Of Control" is used the opening song in Madmax2. This is a very insane song, so please try to listen to it at once.
