''Head On '' is the second studio album by British heavy metal band Samson, released in 1980. The cover art features the band's masked drummer, Thunderstick. This is the first album with future Iron Maiden-frontman Bruce Dickinson on vocal duties, although some later re-issues of the debut do feature alternative bonus versions of songs, re-done with Dickinson vocals. The instrumental "Thunderburst" is credited as co-written by Steve Harris. The track is in fact a version of "The Ides of March", an early Iron Maiden song written during the brief time in 1977 in which Thunderstick was in Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden released their own version on the Iron Maiden album ''Killers'' the next year, though Steve Harris credited the song solely to himself, annoying the members of Samson. A jazz-style spoof version of "Vice Versa", titled "Egg Timer" and credited to Cosmo Toons and the Split Knee Loons, appears on the ''For Gillan Fans Only'' album, given away for free with the first 15,000 copies of Gillan's ''Glory Road'', released in 1980. ==Track listing== All tracks by Bruce Dickinson, Paul Samson, Chris Aylmer and Thunderstick except "Thunderburst" by Dickinson, Samson, Aylmer, Thunderstick and Steve Harris ;Side one # "Hard Times" - 4:42 # "Take It Like a Man" - 4:09 # "Vice Versa" - 4:44 # "Manwatcher" - 3:37 # "Too Close to Rock" - 3:36 ;Side two # # "Hammerhead" - 3:40 # "Hunted" - 3:00 # "Take Me to Your Leader" - 3:49 # "Walking Out on You" - 6:36 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Head On (Samson album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
