An Aviation slang, “Balls To The Wall” simply means All-Out Effort.
It was first coined by pilots whose plane’s throttle levers had round, ball-like tops and for whom putting the “balls to the wall” meant making the aircraft fly as quickly as possible, in getting quickly out of an urgent situation. The “wall” being the firewall of the aircraft.
This is a Blog about the Rock Stars and Rock Bands, who already have attained global fame and still bring their A-Games to their Concerts and Fans.
I share below some Balls To The Wall images of Rock Stars and Rock Bands who always give their 150% to their performances.
Regardless of age, they have obviously found their Fountain of Youth!
Enjoy The Show!

In starting to write this aviation-theme Blog at 12.14pm this afternoon on 27 September 2024, I was sadden to learn approximately two hours later that a dear one, Captain Leonard John McCully had taken off for the heavenly skies at around 2pm. An accomplished pilot with a permanent twinkle in his eye, he would have appreciated the manly title and aviation theme of this Blog.
This Blog is dedicated to Captain Leonard John McCully. R.I. P.
