Yeah, you're right, honestly, I think the Westlife boyband bullshit sentimental part of Bohemian Rhapsody gets an utterly unfair pass because - the bloke singing it is dead - it was indeed written during the heyday of a few posters.

It's been over a week since I finished the first Witcher and I didn't even finish the add-on missions (only the pseudo-Renfri one), but I spent enough in the Wedding bonus mission to have this stuck in my head even now, days later

I have two complaints regarding the show 1) the message that he's in fact a miserable person and he's certainly not "right" was a tad too subtle - at least for a lot of people who "Housed themselves up" after becoming fans of the show (I've seen that happen) - a true case of the Truffaut effect...

Wow! Looking forward to this one!!!

What, Bohemian Rhapsody?

Bohemian Rhapsody is fascinating, catchy, innovative... but kind of a mess, let's be honest. Also, overplayed, at least to me. The Spirit Carries On might be overplayed as well, but the Oldfieldean guitar solo would get my vote even if the rest of the song was bollocks and it really isn't. I...

In the end, I'm almost glad wifey talked me out of including this in the Greatest Metal Song Cup nominations. I mean, it might be one of my favourite songs ever, but I'm perfectly aware I must be in an utter minority at that. It's ... personal, I guess.

Yeah, you're right, fair point. That's one thing that totally missed me, though I'm a gamer and always concerned myself with music, Guitar Hero/Rock Band etc. went by. I didn't have it and neither did anyone in my vicinity, so that's already a huge difference, I guess.

I thought it was because I was drubl yesterday, but I woke up today and I still find it quite befuddling, even downright bizarre. I mean... I guess? I don't usually participate in these "what is more famous" discussions, because I find most of the imaginable criteria dubious at best ... let...

Well, if you really want to compare ciritical consensus (even outside of metal) and general power metal fandom vs. Guitar Hero and Spotify ... ... I guess Loosey was really wise to include the YouTube playlists, is all I'm going to say. Just saying that whatever metric you pick, if DragonForce...

<3 I had promised I would nominate this song in the Best Metal Song Cup... and I didn't... and now I'm angry with myself. I really am.

It's one of the songs in this cup I never heard before this round even once, lol. (it's probably because while I am in general a power metal afficionado, I appreciate DragonForce only to a degree and I never even heard this album yet, or at least I think so, shame on me, I guess) And yes...

That switch from Martin Cockerham's to Barbara Gaskin's vocals is unexpectedly emotional and almost kinda creepy, IMHO.

...that said, the original Rhapsody scratch all the itches I ever had and even those I never imagined a person could have...

And more of the same. This is haunting and poignant as fuck. I'm gonna put the naysayers into the block list.

Wishmaster is about the perfect combination of every song being more or less a banger, with good variation in the emotions and atmosphere, with just about the proper amount of nostalgia (it was exactly in that era when I discovered the band) and the je ne sais quoi quality of late 90s/early 00s...

I can't help but hear the main part (the chorus) of Only Time Will Tell in the instrumental part of Powerslave. Maybe it's just me. Also, I don't mean that in a negative way, in fact, after I noticed that particular melodic line, Powerslave became one of my favourite Maiden songs in general and...

I'm not surprised, it was on Rock in Rio, it's a cool "epic" (probably doesn't truly classify, but it's a longer song with some variation which Maiden fans seem to like), it hasn't been played since much and isn't on other live releases and also I always had thought that the song was really...

For what it's worth, when I was creating the nominations list, everything fluctuated, there was a moment when I doubted the inclusion of any song... except Somewhere Far Beyond. Blind Guardian aren't even my number 1 band, but this was the first song I immediately knew I'd include and it was the...
