To be fair, this release was put out by the ex record company WITHOUT permission or approval from the band, and they publicly distanced themselves from it. But yes, the artwork as such is fucking awful! Believe it or not - I actually know that guy on the cover. Have talked to him many times...

You are of course correct. As I said, the list is not overly serious, it is mainly the Tool fanbase that can be very annoying. That being said, I DO think that Maynard comes across very arrogant at times....

Please don't take this list too serious, I know it is not really fair to compare Lars with hyper-assholes like Schaffer and Nödtveidt... Maybe "Pedo" is not EXACTLY matching Nugent, as it were not children, and it MAY have been consensual, but it is still lowlife / disgusting as hell.

I think the arrangement of this song is a bit random in the second half is a bit lazy. Other than that, this song is an epic power ballad, and a highlight in both their catalogue and on this album.

Maybe not the most annoying Maiden track, but the most boring. To this day, I wonder what they wanted to achieve with this one. It has some distant AC/DC vibe, but much less so than FHTE. All good Maiden songs have either groove, atmosphere, riffs, melancholia or anger. This has none of the...

Agreed, even though I think this return to glory was not due to the sheer quality of BNW. The reunion with Bruce came at a time where old heavy Metal simply was acceptable again. Of course there is no way to prove it, but had Bruce come back 2 years earlier, it might possibly have caused lesser...

I strongly disagree. Nu Metal was big way into the 2000s, several years after BNW. Nu Metal had its commercial peak around that time, 2001 to 2004..That was the time when Disturbed and Slipknot emerged. It killed itself at the end of the decade, like any hyped fashion trend. BNW was Maiden's...

Are you really implying BNW had he same impact for the 2000s as Painkiller did for the 90s? I really don't see any evidence for this. Yes, Bruce returning was a huge thing. But that was not so much tied to the album itself. Painkiller still regularly gets voted/polled as one of the greatest...

Production having no meaning for the quality of songs? With all respect, this is bollocks, at least as a general opinion (in some cases it may be somewhat correct), and EVERY professional musician will tell you otherwise. Sure, the best production can not turn a bad song into a good one, but a...

It really depends on what kind of music you want to play. If you go for classical heavy metal, Marshall is still a good choice. For more aggressive stuff, here are better choices, alhough Marshall CAN work even in Death Metal, but you defintely need an external distortion then. Amps is also a...

I used LTD F-series for a very long time, both on stage and in the studio. Mostly even the cheaper ones. They could easily keep up with guitars of the next higher price category. Two years ago I switched to Ibanez, but I still use LTD during rehearsals. I can recommend them, if you want a more...

So, let the voting begin. We nominate the biggest douchbags and assholes in the circus of music. Ladies and gents, please send your votes, and elaborate if you wish so. Did we forget someone truly worthy? Don't be shy, bring em on! PS: Varg Vikernes is not nominated, because with him, no one...

I didnt say I loathe Saxon for it to this day. I just said that this particular album deserved to flop. Not bc of quality, but bc of attitude. Metal fans of today have no pride in their scene anymore. It was once a refuge from all the hyper commercial plastic of the charts. It wasnt always...

Only their demos and first 2 albums were any good. The rest is the musical version of a sugar free, fat free milkshake withwater instead of milk.

To not like this song, fine. Personal taste (I like it, though). But to say it is a Don't Cry rip off, now that's a stretch. If anything, it sounds more like Skid Row or W.A.S.P., a stadium power ballad.
