One thing I actually love about it is the way the tempo slightly increases later in the song as the tension and energy build. Compare the way the main heavy riff is played at the beginning and when it comes back in after Dave's solo, it's noticeably quicker the second time around.

Forget all the VXI worship, this is the worst thing you've ever posted.

"Alice in Chains" "The self-titled" "The one with the dog on the cover"

One Day Like This by Elbow is a blight on humanity. I like me some Stereophonics (going to see them again in December), Mr Writer is indeed an excellent song. If you like that you might like Graffiti on the Train, it's got a similar darker, more sombre vibe.

Had a bit of a Halloween Spook-tacular this weekend... after Halloween night, as I was out :lol: First I watched The Long Walk. I read the book a little while ago and really enjoyed it, the film is also pretty solid, though somehow even briefer than the book. I think it could've benefitted from...

This is kind of half-true. Chad has said that he analysed a popular song to figure out what made it so popular, but it was "How You Remind Me", his own song. This is my biggest gripe, the "stripper anthems" as the bass player calls them (he doesn't like them either). It's a shame that the...

There's a number of reasons floating around as to why Nickelback are so hated, "they're boring and generic", "their songs all sound the same", "they're popular and you can't escape their music", all of which apply to plenty of other bands that get off scot-free, the last point hasn't been true...

Clocks is probably the only Coldplay song I can say I actually like. Love the piano melody and Chris Martin's voice is (mostly) tolerable. Why? She seems to be one of the few "pop princesses" that rock and metal fans actually like, or at least respect. She's a metal fan, puts on an impressive...

This is pretty much exactly what I'm thinking. It's petty as fuck and makes Dave look like he still hasn't gotten over being kicked out of Metallica, but it could also be a tribute to his roots and showing respect to Metallica by covering one of their songs on his final album. Which I also think...

I just stumbled across this too! Who cares if it's AI, Stranger is fucking incredible, what a banger. I thought the vocal melodies of Wasted Years were pretty awkward though, the title track had me almost convinced it was a real band, but WY made it apparent it wasn't. Still great fun to listen to.

I would be massively disappointed if I went to a Maiden show and the setlist consisted of one song...

If I could pull off a fully-shaved cut then I'd do the same, but I can't. I've a weird-shaped head :p

When they were originally written, do you mean, or in the album sleeve? Either way, I don't hear Bruce putting any emphasis on the word on the studio recording so I wouldn't read much into it.

I see a lot of people say that they have a negative opinion of this song because of the lyrics, but I'm genuinely curious as to why. To me there's nothing in them that's really shaming Charlotte for being a sex worker, nor is it glorifying or condoning it. Most of the song is just stating facts...

Squiffs/drubl/whatever you wanna call it Still find it amazing that no matter how much us Maidenfriends have to drink we can still find our way to this thread. I'm not that drunk, but drunk enough. Edington doesn't get drunk often so it's pretty heard for me Heard? Hard. Amber Heard is a...
