Alcatrazz - Island In The Sun Lyrics
They named it "The rock", land of the living dead
A repose for the rich and famous
And all the infamous would tell each other's lies
Why did they want to tell the truth?
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Most were poets and they wrote in basic prose
On the walls of their sunset Blvd.
In their nine by five rooms, whose became inspired
By the silence in sight of the city
(Sail away now...)
On the island in the sun
(Sail away now...)
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves
(Sail away now...)
On the island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
(Sail away now...)
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves
(Sail away now...)
(Sail away now...)
(Sail away now...)
(Sail away now...)
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow...

Alcatrazz Island In The Sun Comments
Does anyone see the Scott Weiland resemblance is uncanny
At beginning when i listened to bonnet in rainbow i didnt like him voice but now i like it
O man. They do not make them like that anymore. Wow. I always loved the record but never seen the video until now. Yngwie only 19/20 here.... what a god!
This a sample from queen free
hip hip
Graham's voice is fuckin' rad!! \m/
i was trolling Yahoo answers back in the day, i had VH1 classic on in the background. solo comes on, i'm like "this guitarist is amazing, sounds a lot like malmsteen". this is the video that was one when i turned around.
that moment when a guitarist has such a distinct sound they can be picked out blindly by sound.
Oh the days when MTV was important.
Yeah now MTV is rubbish!
Horrible music
Omg this made me happy! Wow!
The backing chorus really makes this song in my opinion.
Clip its to stuped :))))))))))))
Yngwie in the best shape ever
やっさん、かっこ良すぎ。
This is the most commercial song ive ever seen Yngwie do...
Graham Bonnet + Malmsteen...... what a gem !!!!!!!!!!!!! 80's will never stop kickin ass
Just to see Malmsteen with a Flyng V is worth the video XD
It's an Aria. He had a sponsor deal with them. Never used them for recording.
I have it! (^.^)
Bonnett always sucked. Always. What was Yngwie thinking??
どこでもドアbyドラえもん^^
I so miss actual musical skill in pop
esta rola es d mis favoritas d mi lista d heavy rock d todos mis tiempos y fue la mejor epoca d alcatrazz
Gram bonnet great singer
Love this guy bonnet great singer 2 great bands he sang for
オールナイトフジで流れたのを初めて見たときは衝撃だった。
My favorite Alcatrazz song is General Hospital, a metal radio favorite.
Clint Eastwood es el cantante ?😉
Graham looks like Jerry Reed's Cletus from Smokey And The Bandit.
i will stick with "he sucks". no range...just always yelling...and not in a good way. reminds me of the singer from The Offspring.
Love it, great chorus.
I wonder how they got Yngwie Malmsteen to play Ariel Pro V instead of a Stratocaster?
MT Rich $$$
They should create a lot of new prisons like that...in Brazil, there's a lot of space for that, we should create one inside the Forest (Amazônica). Anyway, this band with Yngwie was fantastic.
80's melody metal good!!
이용선 ㅇㅈ
Saw this tour@ Kabuki Theater in SF!
Shawshank!
Kazuhira Miller
what took you so long?
Back when vocalists could really sing and musicians actually played their instruments with aplomb...
AudiophileTubes you forgot ‘and when videos didn’t worry about a disgusting #metoo manhunt
Was Beavis modeled after Graham
Hell no. That's Dale Gribble from King of the Hill minus the baseball cap lmao
Beautiful solo! Yngwie is absolutely smokin' on this!
Rick Astley ♥
ver video promo dj perlita de la trinitat en vimeo. muy bueno!
damn !!! GB can sing his ass off !!!!!
I love how Yngwie appears in front of the priest at 0:44 : already guilty as charged !!
warner kurt LMAO very true!
Yeah considering he is Protestant 😸
I bet Graham Bonnet got tons of pussy in his day
More than you.
That's a given!
БЛЕСК !!!!!!
イングヴェイを初めて知ったのはこのビデオクリップだった。懐かしい。
These girls are total skanks ................. I love it
They don't make music videos like this any more.
I ❤ Graham bonnet
So I remember this video. Don't remember the other one for this song.
Graham bonnet almost looks like frank Morris
my all time favorite singer
albert wesker xD
+Alessio Glorioso looooooooooool
Gracias Alcatrazz tu fuistes la primera banda que me influencio a los 5 años de edad y ahoa que tengo 33 me siento joven al escucharte
HECTHOR ARCE estamos muy contentos de que nuestra musica te haya motivado a ser un buen ser humano gracias a ti por confiar en nuestro trabajo.
no se dice fuistes, se dice fuiste :P
Like the Album says,No Parole From Rock And Roll.And that's just the way I like it,
mann was für Zeiten waren die 80 er richtig cool
BONNET SUCKS.
Moron!!
OK. BUT HE STILL SUCKS.
+DDD D He's the best thing to happen to Metal!
ha! that is funny. that is fuckin hilarious! judas priest and iron maiden did much more...and ad much more talent. back to original statement...bonnet sucks. Yngwie would probably say the same
DDD D Bonnet doesn't suck. He's not as good as Halford or Dickinson, but he doesn't suck. You know who really sucks, John Bush from Armored Saint. That was just... Very bad.
BABYMETALのSU-METALの歌声を聴いて、
Graham Bonnetを思い出した。
@Mt. RR 遅レスすいませんノンビブラートの切り裂く様な突き刺さる歌声は近いものがありますね。なかなか日本では・・世界もかな?痺れる様な美しくカッコがいいノンビブラートのvoっていないですよね。
I saw them in San Juan in 1983. My first concert!
@Noel Perez I was also 13th I went with my older cousin and some friends.
Cool! \m/
Yngwie was a youngster. Was this after his stint with Steeler? He was already turning heads with his elaborate style. Great guitarist. Not a real good song here though...it's very "radio friendly" I guess?? sj~13
@Scotty J. Yes, it was after he left Steeler.
@DefLeppardVanHalen Thanks 4 the info my friend. Rock On!! sj~13
Alcatrazz opened for Scorpions in 1983 in San Juan. Awesome concert, even better than Zebra and Night Ranger in 82. Sad note: A pair of twins got killed after the concert crossing the crazy FD Roosevelt avenue right on front of the stadium.
Awful song.
Graham simply was/is GENTLEMAN of rock
Cheesy as FACK!!! But actually a pretty damn cool song!
lmao at yngwie playing the ukelele in the cell =p
doo doo and they say warrant killed of metal
That short hair is one reason Bonnet is/was great. Part of rock and roll is nonconformity. And when EVERYBODY else has long hair he had the balls to say "Fuck you! I like my hair short!" And his voice is so awesome no body minded.
Not many could match that voice, if any..
@Cosmic Soul For sure. One of the best singers to come from the 80's.
The definitive persona
Yngwie playing a Flying V? Must have been a one time thing.
Kurt Russell sings pretty good ,\,,/
メガネ、ネガネ、、怒るでしかしっ!
Malmsteen FTW
なつい〜♬(^0^)
Weezer did one radical cover...
cant believe it's malmsteen playing xD
This band had a killer line up....bad video vox should had left his hair long. Ymalsien the guitar solo is beyond cool.He was too good for this bee bop style. Alcatraz had some bad ass songs. this one is cheezzzee but solo..so fxcking beautiful man he was so great when he was young. JerryGordn ty
めがね、めがねと言ってるの聞こえました
This sucks.
uff ke klasiko
I think it is an Aria guitar.
yasushi yokoyama..
de no ser por los grupos en que participo y por los musicos con que se rodeo, graham bonnet no existiria, cero actitud, y una voz en vivo deplorable.........
@Kenjifly Not sure, but looks like a early 80's ARIA pro..the did a Explorer type as well.
とっても・・・やすしだと思います・・・///////
グラハム、元気か?
このプロモをベストヒットUSAで見て、次の日即レコード店へ走ったね。
such a good song! a bit sad how much graham bonnet looks like huey lewis, but damn if he doesn't have a voice made for rockin' hard, then i just don't know who does!
Great band, funny video. :)
