Axel Rudi Pell (born 27 June 1960) is a German heavy metal guitar player and his eponymous band. He started off with the band Steeler (1984–88) before leaving to start his solo career in 1989. During this time, he has played with such drummers as Jörg Michael and Mike Terrana, and singers Johnny Gioeli, Jeff Scott Soto, and Rob Rock.
Axel Rudi Pell's latest album is Into the Storm. It was released on 17 January 2014 in Germany.
SPV Records released a live DVD on 25 February 2008, titled Live over Europe, which includes the full performance from the Rock Hard Festival in 2007, and comes with a bonus disc which includes live footage from Pell's own archive.
Before I Die is a young adult novel written by Jenny Downham, first published by David Fickling Books in 2007. The novel follows the shortly ending life of Tessa, from her perspective.
Plot
Tessa is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Despite her four-year devotion to chemotherapy, she has discovered that her cancer is terminal and her doctors don't give her very long to live. Tessa, with the help of her best friend Zoey, comes up with a list of things she wants to do before she dies, including some risky behaviors that she deems necessary to have "lived". Zoey is excited and supportive of the outrageous bucket list until an unplanned pregnancy test comes up positive.
Tessa's parents are divorced and have very different views on her desire to experience the dangerous side of life before she passes. Her mother is loving and joking about the situation and seems supportive whereas her father is timid and just wants to spend time with his daughter. Tessa's dad is resistant to Tessa's behavior from the start but realizes he has little influence and can only enjoy the time they have left. Her father's main mechanism for coping is denial. She mentions that he spends hours on the computer looking up possible treatments for her even after the doctors have told her that the cancer has consumed her body.
The meat shortage of 1946 has drastically affected the menu at Wolfe's dining room table and left him in a foul mood. A notorious gangster, Dazy Perrit, arrives at the brownstone to enlist Wolfe's help and, over Archie's protests, Wolfe invites him inside. Archie fears that Perrit will tell Wolfe something that Wolfe would prefer not to know, but Wolfe wants meat and thinks that Perrit's black market connections might enable him to get it.
Perrit gives Archie a phone number to call for a possible supply of meat, and then tells Wolfe his problem. He has a daughter, but he has kept her existence and identity a secret to protect her from his enemies. One of them, Thumbs Meeker, has recently let Perrit know that his daughter's existence is no longer a secret. Meeker apparently does not know the daughter's identity or location, only that Perrit has a daughter somewhere. Perrit has found a grifter named Angelina Murphy who is on the run from authorities in Utah, and has installed her as his daughter in his Fifth Avenue penthouse. This, Perrit thinks, will keep his enemies from seeking out and harming his real daughter. Angelina, though, has begun to blackmail Perrit, demanding large sums of money and threatening to expose his secret unless he pays. He wants to hire Wolfe to make Angelina stop.
Before I Die is a song by American rock band Papa Roach released as the third single from their seventh studio album "The Connection".
Music Video
In the video the singer Jacoby Shaddix revived its moments earlier that nearly led to suicide, portraying addiction beverages indecision. Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix planned to commit suicide, for he can not deal with alcoholism and marriage problems. Shaddix said "Suicide is the most selfish act. So I decided I had to endure the pain I was experiencing and fucking write a song instead."

Das Konzert fand am 19.05.2018 während des Rock Hard Festivals in Gelsenkirchen statt.
Ruhrpott-Rocker Axel Rudi Pell ist in seiner 25-jährigen Karriere dem klassischen Hardrock im Stil von Deep Purple genauso treu geblieben wie seiner Heimat Wattenscheid. Zunächst mit der Band Steeler, seit 1989 unter eigenem Namen.
1960 in Wattenscheid geboren, wurde Axel Rudi Pell als Gitarrist bei der Heavy Metal-Band Steeler bekannt. 1989 beginnt er seine Solokarriere, die den Ruhrpott-Rocker mit vielen international bekannten Metal-Musiker zusammenbringt.
Zu Pells größten Vorbildern zählen Deep Purple, die er auch hie und da covert. Pell bringt mindestens alle zwei Jahre ein Studioalbum heraus und bleibt sich und dem klassischen Metal und Hard Rock dabei stets treu. Pell ist unermüdlich unterwegs, einmal hat er sogar wegen einer Viruserkrankung einen Schwächeanfall auf der Bühne, was ihn nicht davon abhält, direkt danach wieder ins Studio zu gehen.

During this time, he has played with such drummers as Jörg Michael and Mike Terrana, and singers Johnny Gioeli, Jeff Scott Soto, and Rob Rock.
Axel Rudi Pell's latest album is Into the Storm. It was released on 17 January 2014 in Germany.
SPV Records released a live DVD on 25 February 2008, titled Live over Europe, which includes the full performance from the Rock Hard Festival in 2007, and comes with a bonus disc which includes live footage from Pell's own archive.
You know, the worst part about living is knowin' one day that you gon' have to die In the meantime, you have to come to terms with yourself, before you die [Jhaz] Before I die, laid and put to rest Before I climb the wall, before I take my last breath May I come to know the real of it all Face-to-face with death, discover why the toughest fall Dog, at home alone at night My dreams be scary, got a sista fiendin' to the daylight And if by circumstance, somehow I end up stiff I promise that I ain't the only one that's gon' end up in a ditch To all of this, I wish I find a reason why we end up dead So I be prayin', dog, before I die [Brina] Before I flatline, carried away in a casket I ask this question, Lord: will You be openin' the gates to the green pastures Or will a sista fall prey to the gates of Hell? So Brina pass times through these ghetto blues Had to do what I had to do, really Survival is the key, everyday tryin' dodge them toe-tags Gotta good heart, tryin' hard to raise mine You made room for a sista's jumpstart Playa haters, they hate me Will the devil put one of those fools to work Or will I die of natural cause? Either way it goes, I feel the hurt, so I ask of You Lord: keep my family strong on top of this weak game that'll catch 'em, too I'm on streets of Hell anyday
