    United Abominations

    In my opinion, United Abominations isn't quite Megadeth's best album but it's by far their most accessible and instantly enjoyable. All of the the songs except You're Dead are solid. The album's a great example of the kind of thrash metal you can't find much of these days. Lyrically it's not as...

    Best Harris Epic...over 5:00

    Seventh Son of Seventh Son. The singing is great and the guitar work, especially in the second half, is beyond brilliant. For the greater Good of God, The Sign of the Cross, and Hallowed Be Thy Name come extremely close.

    Best song where guitarist gets a co-write but not a solo...

    Journeyman for me, and wow, this is the most oddly specific poll i've seen so far.

    How many of you are actually musicians?

    I'm an amateur guitarist in the process of forming a band called Skarekrow. So far we have a guitarist, a singer, and a drummer, trying to get a bassist and maybe a second guitarist. We're beginning to write our first album, a concept album called King of Spades. We have no real ambitions to...

    To infinity, and beyond...

    If Mars is currently devoid of life, what negative effect could colonization have on the planet? The planet's supposedly incapable of supporting life so i don't see how any change could possibly make the planet worse.

    Iced Earth

    Re: New Iced Earth Album Now that I've heard the album nonstop for a few days, I can honestly say I love this album. I think it's mainly because of the story, which is not only epic as hell but also much deeper and more original than on any concept album I've heard before. The plot unfolds...

    Favourite Blaze Bayley co-written track

    The Aftermath for me. Blaze's singing and the lyrics are nothing short of amazing.

    Iced Earth

    Re: New Iced Earth Album Ok, in that case I'll just say do a google search. The advance album is approved by Jon schaffer. Every few minutes into the music there's a voiceover of Jon Schaffer saying "Hello, this is Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth, i hope you're enjoying the advance copy of...

    Iced Earth

    New Iced Earth Album I don't know if this really belongs on these polls, but I think it'll be good news for most people here. An advance copy of the new Iced Earth album, Framing Armageddon, is available online. If it's fine with the mods, I'll post the url in my next post. To be able to play...

    "True, but with the number of shortcuts and the like, I doubt the pupils are going to be getting their recommended 10,000 steps a day.  Tighter government controls is required to ensure that no school, no matter how exceptional (and I'd say a few murders is quite exceptional) slips out of the...

    Best Maiden Song

    Tough call. For me it's a toss-up between Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, The Sign of the Cross (Rock in Rio version) and Paschendale. Probably Brighter than a Tousand Suns because it's consistently amazing all the way through. Paschendale has a few relatively weak parts and The Sign of the...

    Bye Bye Iwo Jima!

    The name change is also kind of a slap in the face for Japanese vererans and their families, as they suffered far worse casualties defending the island.

    Favorite Live Album

    I'd have to go with Rock in Rio. For some reason, it feels more epic than the live albums. It's louder and more aggressive than Live After Death but every bit as technically good, and almost every song is better than its studio counterpart. The Sign of the Cross with Bruce on vocals may just be...

    Palestine

    Forostar, you can't blame Israel for possessing the land. Israel has given up land for peace multiple times and it's backfired on them almost every time.I'm with Perun on this one. Can you blame Israel for not wanting to get into another violent conflict? Israel's first priority is and must...

    I'm guessing you're on either Yavin or Endor and the orb of intense fear is the Death Star. Oh, it was Alderaan, wasn't it?

    Forostar, does Blokken exist in English, and how hard do you think it is to come by? The idea of the state as the protagonist sounds iintriguing and original, and most importantly, strange enough that i have to check it out for myself. Also, I think I should recommend another work of political...

    New posters! Who are you?

    I'm 18 and I'm from Connecticut, USA. Originally from Minsk, Belarus. I play electric guitar and am in the process of starting an amateur (very amateur) band. Since I got Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death last November, I've become a huge metal fan. Mostly I stick to classic and power metal...

    You are in Archenland on your way to Calormen. Took me a while to find and dust off my old Narnia books. Or maybe you're on your way to Narnia from Calormen. Well, either way, you're Archenland.
