https://forum.maidenfans.com/threads/when-maiden-and-orchestras-collide.72429/#post-1039465 Here's a thread where a cover band had an orchestra play with them. Listen to stuff like RTTH, it doesn't work at all in my opinion. I gave a thorough review in that thread and the video is well worth...

I've written before about this topic, but I genuinely think that the majority of their catalogue, especially the 80s stuff, is not suited at all to an orchestra. It's a pet peeve of mine when metal bands put an orchestra on top that just mimics the riffs or has the violins shadow the lead...

Not making any promises, but if no one else is willing I could host the next time. Would be a shame to not repeat it! Gonna listen to Mirror Reaper later in honor of its win.

7 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper #1 4 Mastodon - Leviathan First of all, thank you @MindRuler for hosting and everyone for participating. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the general layout/the rules. Plenty of great covers, and I'm more than satisfied with the finalists. I love Leviathan...

Huh, turns out it was never about the hostages. How surprising. Utterly shocking. Not at all in line with the last 80 years of history, no one could've forseen this. There have even been reports about Palestinian corpses being mutilated and their organs robbed by the IDF. That's in addition to...

No, your point has no validity to it all because it is based on a false premise. Zohran has talked time and time again about how he would do anything in his power to ensure Israelis, Jews and Palestinians living in New York could live safe and peaceful lives. Hamas is absolutely irrelevant...

Zohran is running for mayor. There is absolutely ZERO legitimate reason why he should be asked about Hamas. It's deeply disingenuous and bad faith behavior. We all know the only reason that is happening is because he's a popular left-wing muslim politician with great chances at winning. I'm...

I'm not getting in any shouting match, no worries. I do want to point out how we have posters continuously conflating Hamas with Palestinians, downplaying the suffering of Gazans, even dehumanizing them, yet I'm being tone policed for calling out Trump, who as I stated is notorious for bad deals...

Cute ad-hominem but you're once again letting your emotions cloud your judgement into making objectively wrong statements. You can literally look up posts of mine where I've given credit where credit was due to people I dislike. But Trump, a fascist pedophile notorious for shady deals and a...

Now we're talking! Some albums, like many of the 80s ones, are pretty well liked overall for the most part. That means some of the choices might not be a black sheep, but some overlooked gems overshadowed by far more popular tracks. Strange World: I don't think it's particularly disliked, but...

But we're still supposed to praise the fascist-in-chief, right?
