Added example(s): Call Back

Added DiffLines:

* CallBack: In the background of the front-cover illustration from ''Humanoid'', there's a heart-shaped octagonal window that resembles the (literal) "metal heart" from ''Metal Heart'''s front-cover illustration; and, taking into consideration the lyrical theme of the title tracks from both of these albums, it's obvious that this was done intentionally.

Added DiffLines:

* StopAndGo: "Primitive" (from ''Predator'') pauses for about 1 second at the 3m17s point, immediately following a section of lyrics that ends with the word "stop"[[note]]the 3m11s-though-3m17s section is the second place in the song where these lyrics occur, whereas the first occurence is at 1m09s through 1m15s... however, the 1m15s point doesn't have any brief pause like the one that occurs at 3m17s, and -- again, ''unlike'' what happens at 1m15s -- at 3m17s, the word "'''STOP!'''" is shouted for emphasis immediately prior to the pause[[/note]]:

General clarification on work content: add "never issued in CD format"


** And one example that's not from any song lyrics: the front and back covers of a compilation album titled ''Midnight Highway''[[note]]from 1983, exclusive to the U.S. and Canada, containing songs from the first 3 studio albums; presumably, this compilation was released in order to introduce some of Accept's early recordings to a wider audience[[/note]] show a denim-and-leather-clad man and woman on a (stationary) motorcycle, striking a pose for the camera.

** Some live performances of "Fast as a Shark"[[note]]particularly ones from 2010 onwards with Mark Tornillo on vocals[[/note]] also feature the "Ein Heller und ein Batzen" intro, but not all of them. The version from ''Staying a Life''[[note]]this live album captures a concert during the band's 1985 tour in support of ''Metal Heart'', but wasn't released until 1990[[/note]] instead begins with an escalating call-and-response section between Udo and the audience, which ultimately leads up to the [[MetalScream scream]] that begins the song proper.

Added example(s): Careful With That Axe


* CarefulWithThatAxe: The studio version of "Fast as a Shark" has an intro section[[note]]which, since that song is track 1 on ''Restless and Wild'', also acts as an intro to the album as a whole[[/note]] that goes like this: "Heidi heido heida, heidi heido heida, heidi heido heida a a a a a a a a, hei-- *[[RecordNeedleScratch scratch]]* '''[[MetalScream AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!]]'''".[[labelnote:additional details]]The part before the scratch sound effect is the chorus of a 19th-century drinking song titled "Ein Heller und ein Batzen". According to some interviews with band member(s), the specific recording of that song that was sampled here featured studio owner Dieter Dierks as a singer (he was very young when it was recorded); this was meant to be an InJoke.[[/labelnote]]

As George Starstin put it in [[https://starlingdb.org/music/accept.htm#Life his review of the album]]:
--->"[…] ''when the band comes out for the encore to do 'Fast As A Shark', Udo toys with the audience by making them shout back his 'Yeaahs' to him, with each new 'Yeaah' becoming more and more complex. Finally he screams out a particularly high-pitched and complex 'Yeaaaaah', and as the audience masters itself and actually manages to reproduce it somehow, he responds with such a tremendously high-pitched battle cry that no ordinary throat can reproduce - and as the humbled spectators sort of stand there thinking this guy's probably mocking them, the song kicks in: of course, it was the famous introductory wail that launches the '''Restless & Wild''' classic. Gotta love that bit.''"

** The second-person protagonist of "Feelings" (from ''Breaker'') is portrayed as a frustrated office worker whose efforts are constantly being obstructed by "[[YesMan yes-men]]" higher up in the org chart (e.g. "''Oh, when you're needing a queen, every card that you get is a jack''").[[note]]The chorus lyrics ("''This message to you is: [[ThePowerOfRock rock]], forever and ever!''") could be taken to mean that HeavyMetal is this person's form of escape from the frustrations of their day job.[[/note]]

Only working just to see next tomorrow\\
But they are happy while they're living that way\\
In that world I gotta beg, steal, or borrow''"
