I feel sorry for Sam... he's really missing out with this one.. I seem to remember a time when Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon got a luke-warm reception... and the same with Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime. Of course, the rest is history.

The Man Who Would Be King The pill was their own version of the "nuclear option". Maybe it was their backup plan if things got real nasty? They wanted to do the right thing and prepare for life after the apocalypse but freaked out at the last moment and decided it wasnt worth the horror..

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) Black Wizard, "It also seems apparent that Maiden aren't capable of writing "hits" anymore, not that the UK music industry would allow a metal band to have a hit anyway. The songwriting skills don't seem to be there any longer...

The Man Who Would Be King Of all the emotions I have experienced over the 27 years of listening to IM, I can say I have never got physically choked up from any of their songs. Until now. This part puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it: "He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling...

Really... Well, I have a buddy that covers Yngwie Malmsteen to the tee... Hmmm.. I guess Yngwies playing isnt complex either, right :shred: Like I said, I could care less what they say over there. The idiotic point that the A-hole made is enough for me to not even want to argue it. Is that the...

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) Well, Im right there with you. Where do you put it with respect to their "classics" ? As I have posted ad nauseum - IMHO, its right up there with SIT, SSOASS and just a smiggin behind..

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) Had another couple whizzes of the album today, and it's still effin brilliant. Even the Man Who Would Be King has my vote now, save the ending. Every song on the album is balanced to brilliance, and When The Wild Wind Blows...
