Babylon A.D. "Babylon A.D. (Japan, Arista Records, A32D-94)"

Babylon A.D. is an American hard rock band formed in 1987. Babylon A.D. hail from the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States. In 1989, Babylon A.D. caught the attention of Arista Records president and industry music mogul Clive Davis, who signed them at a live showcase in Los Angeles. The band's first lineup was Derek Davis on vocals, guitarists Danny De La Rosa and Ron Freschi, drummer Jamey Pacheco and bassist Robb Reid.

Babylon A.D. is the debut album by the American hard rock band of the same name, released in 1989. It contains the metal hits "Bang Go The Bells", "Hammer Swings Down" and "The Kid Goes Wild" which was also featured in the film RoboCop 2.

In the music video for "The Kid Goes Wild", RoboCop attends a performance of Babylon A.D. and targets the kid who appears in the movie for arrest. Interestingly, just two years later in 1991, the music video for the Guns N' Roses song "You Could Be Mine" featured the Terminator attending a performance of Guns N' Roses and targeting them for termination.
