NOW PLAYING

[Kalata]

The 2nd best album with Mark for me. I like 8 out of the 12 songs. The 2 bonus songs should have been included in it - great classics imo!

My take is that John Lennon was being ironic using his acerbic wit to criticise working class people becoming middle class after having been humiliated for many years.

One friend that lived in London for years told me that in UK there is a strong class structure & sentiment and that you can not jump easily class after acquiring a few money. Like if there were "watertight" barriers between classes.

He gave me the example of David Bowie that despite being elegant and millionaire was identifying himself as a working class. From Maiden camp, I can easily picture Janick or Steve say something similar.

 

[Brigantium]

Probably best in UK Politcs thread

I'm deranged. My best song from Bowie's catalogue.

Great sound! Rob's singing was better on this 1988 tour than on the 1990 tour.

Btw, not only the RID album, but also the stage set (check here and here) for the Mercenaries Of Metal tour (different name than the album!) was like a proto-Painkiller. Priest are not fans of opening the album tours with the first song (or any song) from the specific album.
