What really bugs me is how he shouts many of the lines and he's been doing that for multiple decades at this point. The "God be with you!" line is a common example, but he does that for many others as well. Funnily enough, the way he yells those is higher in pitch than the actual note he's...

I'll be gone and busy for most of the day, so if someone else would like to take over this round, go ahead :)

Valid point. Let's hope it stays like this and they won't find another figure to rally around.

Not at all, especially the live version where Bruce varies the melody. The chorus itself doesn't get repeated that often throughout the song. The "chanting the same line over and over again" style of chorus is something Maiden have been doing since the 80s. Children Of The Damned, Caught...

The people and their beliefs won't vanish the moment Trump dies. That much is obviously true. Most of them will keep voting red, that's a safe bet as well. A good chunk, those who didn't keep up with politics prior to Trump, will likely become apathetic and stop keeping up with politics. Hell...

Journeyman is amazing y'all. The heavy use of modal interchange in the verses is gorgeous. Paschendale on the other hand definitely belongs to the boring pile. The lyrics are (mostly) brilliant and the tapping lick is phenomenal. The descending main riff is far too simple in my opinion though...

I heavily disagree. Both of those songs, especially live, are clear 10/10s in my opinion. Anthems to sing along to, filled to the brim with amazing melodies. Not a single wasted second on either of them.

Funnily enough this copy/pasting of lines wasn't only done on Blaze's live B-sides. Rock In Rio has a bunch of those instances (particularly noticeable on Fear Of The Dark or the "nooo, we can't let them take anymore" part in The Clansman).

MAGA will collapse immediately when Trump dies. There is no figure with the same cult of personality who could take over. Especially not JD Vance or Trump's sons.

I get what you mean, as I said before I don't dislike the song. But I need variety and there isn't enough for my tastes in this song. Many individual parts that I really enjoy, but also this feeling of "man, this should've been rearranged or edited".

It really feels like a "the house of cards is falling" situation. It's almost strange getting relatively good news from the US for a change.

I know it's beloved on the forum, but my choice is The Parchment. It's not a bad song, it has great moments. In fact, there are quite a few songs that I actually dislike or which I like less than The Parchment. Despite that it's this song that is boring me. When I was listening to Senjutsu for...

Caught Somewhere In Time

ATSS was perfect for Blaze. I genuinely prefer his version to Bruce's.
