About This Track

“Badlands” was the leadoff track on Bruce Springsteen’s fourth studio album Darkness on the Edge of Town, and its second single. The song tells the story of a man down on his luck and angry at the world, who wants a better lot in life.
The classic E Street Band sound is immediately presented on “Badlands”, as a brief drums intro kicks in to a powerful piano-and-electric guitar riff. The song is taken fast but with a purpose, with Max Weinberg’s most dynamic drumming on the album to the fore; indeed it contains his most famous beat, a one-two-three-four-five-six-(double time)one-two-three pattern underneath the verses. Late in the song a brief guitar break leads to a Clarence Clemons tenor saxophone part. Springsteen Darkness Box Set Companion Book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvWzS8-IR4
