    BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME: #13 REVEALED

    Yeah I’ll go back to “Anno Mundi” — Martin’s performance is just insane, emotional while hitting and holding some crazy notes. To me this is his definitive song with Sabbath as a vocalist, really showing off what he can do with the band. “Jerusalem” has a chorus that constantly sticks in my...

    BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME: #13 REVEALED

    Addendum: @Mosh I do think it’s interesting that our opinions on Eternal Idol and Tyr are almost exactly swapped. I find the former to be a weaker album than the two that followed, largely because Martin hadn’t been able to work on the songs with the rest of the band. I wouldn’t call it the...

    BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME: #13 REVEALED

    Hell no! Tyr is a killer record that continues the momentum from Headless Cross and has a ton of great material. Tony Martin sounds fantastic, the band is really gelling, I love it. “Anno Mundi” is a top 3 Sabbath song. I also had the album playing in my car when I went on vacation with some...

    Explain a Maiden song as poorly as possible

    An invitation into a weirdo’s room leads to your blood staining his floor. The band Iron Maiden cheers on your murder.

    Angry Metal Guy reviews Senjutsu...4 years later

    On paper, yes. Seeing it in person… the pummeling title track leading right into “Stratego” and then TWOTW, feeling almost like it was already canonized as a live favorite. The emotional catharsis of “Blood Brothers”. SOTC and “Icarus” blowing down the roof. That dude jumping up excited as fuck...

    Angry Metal Guy reviews Senjutsu...4 years later

    Big disagree. I know it was a controversial move but at my show it was such an incredible powerhouse of an opener. The band killed it, Nicko’s drumming had everyone hyped, and then “Stratego” hit afterward and took things to another dimension. I think LOTB 3 was a better experience than I...

    80's Maiden vs. Metallica instrumentals?

    Bro literally just defined what an instrumental is. This is tougher than it really has any right to be, simply because Maiden’s instrumentals are all consistently good, whereas Ktulu and Orion are awesome, Anesthesia is good, and TLITD is bloated and pales in comparison to the two that came...

    Yeah absolutely. I mean if you had to choose the 'least important' punctuation mark, the semicolon is pretty much the obvious choice. You can pretty easily leave it out of your writing because it only has two main uses: joining two sentences with related ideas into one, and clarifying a list...

    Rant Thread

    :goodbye: I really like this idea, I looked it up and someone proposed this already. I will say that when I'm writing I'll often do something like this: ...the question mark indicating tone but the lowercase B representing that the sentence isn't over. Also for what it's worth, I rarely use...

    Man, the semicolon is one of my favorite punctuation marks; it is nothing but useful, yet never given its proper dues.

    Paramore started out a pop-punk band, her liking Megadeth wouldn't shock me at all. "Symphony of Destruction" is kind of a pop-thrash tune anyhow.

    BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME: #13 REVEALED

    Tyr too. I think in any just world Tony Martin's stint with Sabbath would've been considered just as important as the Ozzy and Dio eras. I don't think the perception is there yet, firstly the 'official band' (thanks to internal politics) is just the Ozzy period, with the Dio legacy bumping up...

    BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME: #13 REVEALED

    Not only that, but wasn't this the case with Heaven and Hell as well? Iommi started writing music with Dio and they ended up calling it a Black Sabbath album just because they already had that established name. Side thought (I don't have much to say about Born Again that Mosh hasn't already...
