''I'm a product of America
From the morgue to the prisons
Cold metal, when I start my band
Cold metal, in my garbage can
Cold metal, gets in my blood
And my attitude''

After the heavily pop-oriented, radio-ready Blah Blah Blah, A&M expected another hit record from Pop; however, he instead recorded the heavy, hard-rocking, Instinct.[citation needed] Instinct featured Steve Jones on guitar. The album peaked at number 110 on the Billboard 200 chart. The first single from the album, "Cold Metal", charted at number 37 on Mainstream rock charts and earned Pop a Grammy Award nomination for Best Hard Rock/Metal performance in 1989. The album was ranked #69 on Kerrang!s "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" list.[citation needed] Videos were made for "Cold Metal" and "High On You". The song "Cold Metal" was briefly played in the 1990 science fiction/horror film, Hardware, which also featured Iggy Pop as the voice of Angry Bob, a radio DJ. [wiki]

You can read pretty fine review on this lp here

Iggy & Steve teamed up for this explosive but criminally underrated Hard/Punk Highway Rock slab. With smokin' killer heavy riffs, ex Pistol shows his hard rockin' roots. But no, this ain't no heavy metal record [God forbid!], this is a first class, thoroughbred Hard Rock album for Punkers! Dig!

 ''The loneliness will craze you
And no one cool will save you
And the system wants to slave you
You want power, freedom''


''Cold metal, in the afternoon
Sounds lovely like a Hendrix tune
Cold metal, it's the father of beat
The mother of the street''
