    No no no. We're turning this into an echo chamber. Didn't you get the memo?

    Where's the hate? I think the general consensus is that it's at the very least a decent song.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part I, Round 44, Matches 259-264

    What? Wheels has groove. Sure, it's repetitive, but that's fine, and in this case is a strength the way I see it. It wouldn't benefit from being cut to a 3:30 single. In this case the repetitiveness of the main riff causes you (or well, me) to bob your head in approval, and it's a monster live.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part I, Round 44, Matches 259-264

    Man, choosing between 747 and Wheels of Steel was tough. Ultimately, 747 has the upper hand, but it's by the hair. It's the better singalong track live, and that's what gives it the slight edge. Two fantastic tracks.

    It's hard to keep track of all the "X album sounds better than Shirley's work with Maiden! Maiden should do modern, scooped metal production and ditch Shirley and have Steve equipped with super duper fancy hearing aids!" thread hijacks. :D

    So, I've been digesting the new single. It's a decent song, and Bruce is singing fine indeed. The chorus is catchy, but I don't think it gels naturally with the verses and the pre-chorus (the pre-chorus is pretty stock. It doesn't do much for me). From what I can tell from skimming the thread...

    No, the house ethics Committee is/was ramping up its recently restarted investigation into him, and McCarthy said he would probably be ousted, and he was clearly out to get Gaetz as retribution for being dethroned as speaker. I doubt he will now though.

    I suppose this means Gaetz will stay. Can’t lose his seat too.

    Honestly, it isn't something to be celebrated. Most quasi-MAGA or opportunistic collaborators (as well as any traditional, anti-MAGA) leaving congress will be replaced by real MAGA's in the districts not won by dems.

    Right. Yeah, I misremembered.

    Yeah, and slurs. But they removed part of his tongue, which is vital to talking and singing so, he and we are really lucky they didn’t have to remove even more of the tongue. Then he’d probably not be singing at all.

    Who was auditioned to replace Blaze?

    DeGarmo wanted to pursue his pilot career. However, he did return for the Tribe sessions, but left permanently after Geoff wasn’t very gracious or including towards him during that time. Geoff, as he talked about a couple of years ago didn’t take his 1998 departure well and I guess harnessed...

    Who was auditioned to replace Blaze?

    I’d love to have the original QR back, though Todd is awesome. Tate sings really well nowadays- but I think they are better off apart, realistically. They turned into a dysfunctional entity.

    It's essentially the same thing though, as AC/DC and Motörhead having a very specific and narrow musical identity. They weren't really moving bodies, but everything they did fit into a small compartment or box. It's exactly the same thing, and that's also the general criticism of the two bands -...

    Who was auditioned to replace Blaze?

    There is absolutely zero evidence to the contrary (and besides, tunnelvision is a very real psychological term). It is simply your belief based on - What exactly?

    The Concert Thread

    Saw Geoff Tate this past Tuesday. Terrific venue with L'Acoustic K2 line arrays, plus X12 fills. The PA couldn't get better (although the acoustics could, which is why they've recently put up fabric on the top walls, as they are quite tall). They did Mindcrime in its entirety plus an additional...

    Well, Man on the Edge did fairly well in the charts.

    Andy Sneap has his signature sound that he uses with a slight variation on every album. I would hardly call it basic sounding though. It's the million dollar sound in regards to that kind of sonic ideal. The fact that it's on countless album doesn't remotely devalue it to basic, same as Iron...
