From the album Eat the Heat (1989)
“Generation Clash” by Accept appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1990. It was first released in 1989 on the album Eat the Heat. Its best result is #902 on the Z-Rock Top 1001 Songs of All-Time (1990). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #2,241 hard rock song of all time.
"Generation Clash" comes off Eat the Heat, the 1989 album on which Germany's heavy metal bruisers did the unthinkable and made a record without Udo Dirkschneider. David Reece stepped up to the microphone for what stayed his only album with Accept, and the band wouldn't go without Dirkschneider again until Blood of the Nations in 2010.
They cut it at Dierks Studios in Cologne between September 1988 and January 1989, with Dieter Dierks producing and mixing. Wolf Hoffmann played guitar (the album credits hand him every guitar part), Peter Baltes the bass and Stefan Kaufmann the drums, and the writing credit is split between Baltes, Hoffmann, Kaufmann, Reece and Deaffy. The song got a second life, too: with Dirkschneider back on vocals, Accept rebuilt it as "Generation Clash II" for Death Row in 1994.
