Arjen Lucassen's Supersonic Revolution - The Glamattack (Official Lyric Video)

Here it is… always very scary for me… the first single and videoclip of my new band Supersonic Revolution called ‘The Glamattack’! Please let me know what you think of it in the comments below. Can’t wait to read it since this is a new band that I’m very proud of, so… very curious!

This song The Glamattack is about the rise of glamrock in the early seventies with acts like T Rex, Sweet, Alice Cooper and David Bowie. Back then I wanted to BE these artists! I even remember stealing my mother’s wig and singing into a hairbrush in front of the mirror. I really loved the theatrics and the outrageous image of these glitter bands; they were about more than just music.

This video was made by Dave Letelier, and for me he really captured the colorful vibe of the early seventies. Yeah sure… it’s totally over-the-top and excruciatingly colorful, but that’s what this band is all about… MORE = MORE 😊

Vocals – Jaycee
Drums – Koen Herfst
Hammond – Joost van den Broek
Guitar – Timo Somers
Bass – Arjen Lucassen

The Glamattack - LYRICS

Action! Get down, get with it!

seventy-one, time for a change
the hype is on, it’s shocking and strange
he takes the stage, sky in his hair
hot love in the air – everywhere

four London lads, living their dreams
they start a band, as sweet as can be
raising hell, outrageous and wild
leave the sixteens behind – in style

hairspray and make up, satin and gold
platform heels and you’re good to go
outfits of silver, outshine the sun
The glamattack is on

out of the dark with blackened eyes
the king of shock took the world by surprise
electric chairs, spiders and snakes
rock will never be the same – again

crimson blaze crossing his face
we were told he came down from space
thin and white, red spikey hair
no one out there compares – I swear

slap on some lipstick, highlight your hair
You’re defined by the clothes you wear
splash on some glitter, show us no fear
The glamattack is here

No one to turn to, not a friend in the world
Just me and my shadow, ignored by the girls
I put my headphones on and dream away the days
One day it’s me up there shining on that stage

If I was in a blind audition, I'd know that's Arjen stuff in less than 3 seconds.

[BenMichalowicz]

I am a simple man: I see Arjen releases something new, I listen to it endlessly nonstop for the next week.

[jsblack]

Arjen casually forms a new band and then drops a single that any other band would give an arm and leg to write maybe once their ENTIRE CAREER. You are something else man. Such a treasure to have you share your musical visions with us mere mortals. ❤

[TwoMinutePapers]

As a long-time fan since the Electric Castle album, this is an absolutely killer song Arjen - loving it! 🤘

[pdildiko]

One more hour till the premiere, knowing Arjen, he's so nervous by now, he's biting his nails off. From a long time fan (almost 20 years... jeez, I'm old!): there is nothing to worry about, we are confident that you always bring the most amazing music to us!

[beckysarver]

Arjen NEVER disappoints. Best musicians, best singers, best lyrics, best finished product. We are ALL made of stars!

[BonapaceThiago]

Each time that James Webb takes a single picture of space, Arjen kicks out the door of his own space time to slam on us some magnificent creation of his own universe, this time a new project band that will warm our hearts. Tremendous set of musicians Arjen, well done Boss. ❤

[Mick_Jammer]

Yup, I'm floored, as always 😀 Joost kicks butts with this hammond!

[mauriciofernandez]

Your music never disappoints, listening to your music is a journey that connects all your senses.
Success!!
a hug from Chile😁😁😁

[DannyProto]

i already KNOW this is gonna be amazing, cause it's ARJEN

[michaelclaffey]

Arjen, you are the Stephen King of Music: Prolific and Great! An homage to the '70's Rock Gods. Keep up the great work!👋

[gianlucatarchi]

Well, you just can't get yourself any rest, Arjen! However, I really appreciated the effort, expecially the instrumental section...🤤😉🤘

[RollandAdrian]

From my point of view, the song could easily be included on any STAR ONE album, and with a little effort even on an AYREON, although both projects are equal in terms of the value of the artists involved or the quality of the music recorded. Mr. Joost van den Broek's keyboards are probably the most recognizable, you could hardly be wrong about them!

[rolandbearne]

This is a thing of beauty and wonder!! I doff my hat, maestro!!

[t.m.g.]

Arjen, no need to be nervous at all, since the new track and the new band sound exactly like all the stuff we love from you,
you have been way more off the Ayreon track in the past, so it's "give the people what they want", and that is absolutely fine with me....

[thiagoaprovado]

Arjen, your video editor missed the big change to insert some pink beatles right there!

[GermanLeoPagano]

I don't know how this guy manages to sound so personal and so renewed at the same time in each new production... Tremendous song, that's how it's done Arjen and company!

[robynturnham]

Pity I can only like this the once. I want to hit the Like 'Thumbs Up' every time I watch this.

[tomvenner]

Arjen, you slay me! I'm 64 and grew up with all the same influences as you (Beatles, Floyd, Zepllin etc)! Love Sweet, Bowie and Alice. Seen Alice Cooper live 13 times! Glam on my freind.

[elianaenriquez]

¡¡Is the Arjen Universe everything is Amazing here!! 🤘🤘👌💥
