In defense of Montségur's chorus

[dickinson1978]

Can't understand Maiden fans being triggered by a melody. It's Maiden FFS, what else did you expect other than melodies?

Sometimes you like it sometimes not. I dont like montsegur happy chorus thats all. It happens to me with sea of madness too. Ruins the song

 

[FearOfTheLark]

Sea of Madness is one of my faves

 

[Black Bart]

Wickerman always sounded more like a Priest song than a Maiden song to me.

Yes, "Running Wild" in particular comes to mind.

SOM has a "happy" verse and "sad" chorus if you mean major and minor harmonies

Is not about sad or happy is about an intro for jumping and headbanging and then a really soft chorus. I dont like the song when bruce start to sing. I think they could have done better with that great intro

yes it was jarring when I first heard it in 2003 but I really like it. The fact Maiden can pull off the immense contrast in moods is quite something. I like the interpretation of the mocking tone by the way.
