Imagine if a Dem president said "fuck" publically, let alone "praise be to Allah" on Easter (or at all). But since hypocrisy is baked into conservatism, the cult will simultaneously deflect, deny and celebrate this. Turns out MAGAts have no issues with theocracies, as long as its their own flavour.

I think you mean "The Wicker Man" :D (0:41 if the timestamp doesn't work)

I like and appreciate Roy Z's contributions as a songwriter. I don't really care that much about his production or mixing skills. That's not what he's known for or his strenght, as far as I'm concerned. TCW for example would've probably been just as great with a different producer. Unless they...

Honestly, I believe it has to do with the success of Fear of the Dark (the title track, not the album). Steve wrote an anthem with simple, singable guitar lines, and it became one of the most popular metal songs of all time. The song is long, but not particularly complex. A lot of individual...

Eh, that's too cynical. Not saying that the Dem administrations didn't have more than problematic foreign policy. All presidents are war criminals after all. But you can look at Biden for example, and see how much damage he tried to undo after Trump's first administration. There was commitment...

Hey, at least the DOW was over 50k. Yay?

Monkey's paw: They'll play Running Free and Nicko will join them on bass, in a bizarre callback to Adrian joining the boys at Donington 92.

The one "good" thing about the utter shitshow that the second Trump admin is, is that Europe, Canada and other nations and groups of nations are reevaluating their commitments to each other, and are creating new alliances. We simply can't trust the US anymore. Even if the next president is a...

Adrian can't comment on how many epics Steve has roaming in his head at any given moment :D

Man, our tastes couldn't be more different. For me Clansman is a 10, while DotC is one of the weakest reunion epics. :D

I don't much care for that song either but the post solo section is a straight 10/10 for me. Especially the live version with Adrian's little flourishes. Completely redeems the song for me.

True, that's a thing we wanted to continue at some point, right? It's probably a bit too early though. Any ideas when it'd be a good time?

Eddie will return in Avengers: Doomsday Majesty Of Gaia

The one thing I genuinely love about the song is the line "shadows in the stars". That's badass and evokes vivid imagery. The rest of the song does nothing for me and I always skip it.

Senjutsu, definitely. Some of the best tracks on TBOS are absolutely amazing, though Hell On Earth managed to beat them. The weaker tracks (Death of the Celts, Darkest Hour) are leagues ahead of the utter piece of crap that Speed of Light is (I despise that song). Overall the tracks on Senjutsu...
