Fight for the Rock is the third full-length album by the American heavy metal band Savatage. It is their first album with new bass player Johnny Lee Middleton. Released in 1986, it is largely regarded as the band's worst release by both fans and band members, with the band referring to it as "Fight for the Nightmare". Jon Oliva said in October 1994, "I've never really been fond of that album. WE'VE never been fond of that album".

  • Το Fight for the Rock είναι το τρίτο άλμπουμ του αμερικάνικου heavy metal συγκροτήματος Savatage, το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιούνιο του 1986 μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας "Atlantic Records". Επανεκδόθηκε το 1997 από την "Edel Music" με επιπλέον κομμάτι την ακουστική έκδοση του "If I Go Away", το 2002 από την "SPV/Steamhammer" με τις ζωντανές εκτελέσεις του "The Dungeons Are Calling" και του "City Beneath the Surface" από το "Ghost in the Ruins" και το 2011 από την "Ear Music" με την ακουστική έκδοση του "This Is the Time" και το ακυκλοφόρητο "This Is Where You Should Be".Το 1986, ο μπασίστας Κιθ Κόλινς αποχώρησε από το συγκρότημα, δίνοντας τη θέση του στον Τζόνι Λι Μίντλτον. Με τη νέα σύνθεση, οι Savatage ηχογράφησαν το "Fight for the Rock". Ο δίσκος θεωρείται από οπαδούς και μέλη του συγκροτήματος ως το χειρότερο άλμπουμ των Savatage, αφού το συγκρότημα οδηγήθηκε σε έναν πιο εμπορικό ήχο μετά τις πιέσεις της δισκογραφικής τους εταιρείας. Το εξώφυλλο του δίσκου αποτελεί μίμηση της φωτογραφίας "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" του Τζο Ρόζενθαλ από το "Associated Press".Ο δίσκος έφθασε μόλις στο # 158 του Billboard, απογοητεύοντας συγκρότημα και εταιρεία. Οι Savatage, απέφευγαν να παίζουν τραγούδια του συγκεκριμένου δίσκου στις ζωντανές τους εμφανίσεις, κάτι που έγινε για τελευταία φορά στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του '90.Το άλμπουμ έλαβε κακές κριτικές με το "Allmusic" να του δίνει 1,5 αστέρι με άριστα τα 5, το "Sputnik Music" μέσο όρο βαθμολογιών 2/5, το "Metal Archives" 57% και το "Metal Storm" 6,6.

  • Fight for the Rock is the third full-length album by the American heavy metal band Savatage. It is their first album with new bass player Johnny Lee Middleton. Released in 1986, it is largely regarded as the band's worst release by both fans and band members, with the band referring to it as "Fight for the Nightmare". Jon Oliva said in October 1994, "I've never really been fond of that album. WE'VE never been fond of that album". The band said that they were driven to make the record by their label, Atlantic Records; particularly Oliva began writing pop-rock songs for other artists on the label such as John Waite. However, the label eventually turned around and told the band to record the music that Oliva had written for other artists themselves. This destroyed the band's credibility in the eyes of the press and reviews were not kind to the band. It not only destroyed the band's image, but the negative critical reaction has been cited as a cause of Oliva's bout of drug and alcohol depression which eventually drove him from the fore of the band. Atlantic Records also wanted the band to have photographs taken, since none of their previous releases had included any. The band hired a friend to do the photography work, with one of the photos featuring the band re-recreating the famous photo Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. The band agreed this was a good idea at the time, but look back with the same feelings on the photos taken as they do the album. When initially released, the album featured a Parental Advisory label on the front cover, despite having no "nasty words", as Jon Oliva puts it, featured anywhere on the record. This was largely done to please the label, as they felt that putting the sticker on the record would drive up record sales. Although it did chart, the band have been extremely reluctant to perform any of the songs live, and haven't done so since the early 1990s. Even on the tour in support of the album, the band only performed "Hyde", "The Edge of Midnight" and few others. (en)
