Nope, I never liked it that much. Not terrible but not a classic.

Yeah, I love that line. Delivered in such a cool way.

But they're two seperate discs containing different songs. Makes sense to compare them to me, especially when the press release amd interviews made a big song and dance about it being a double album. I listen to it as mp3s most of the time too but it's still a 2 disc album. What if we use the...

Yeah, me too. Honestly, how?! Are they deaf? It's got sod all in common with those songs...

...no they don't.

Exactly. I would use neither "ambitious" nor "epic" to describe this song...

They should have used that time to remix and remaster it! It's have been nice to be able to hear what the rhythm guitars are doing without having to get a vinyl rip...

Wow, I like it but but think you may be overstating the case here. The drumming in the chorus is pretty awful. Love Janick's solo though, one of his best!

I would agree with this.

Exactly! I don't understand why comparing discs is a problem for some people. We compare Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son (for example) all the time, so why shouldn't we compare two other seperate physical entities?

By all accounts he isn't the most friendly gentleman you'll ever meet, so I wouldn't advise trying it.

I am afraid I'm of the mind that it's a structural disaster. I quite like most of the bits but the way they are assembled makes me sad. I don't even feel like it is an epic, it's just a very long song...

Agreed. Shit song.

Disc 2 for me, mainly for TOAC and EOTC.

Everything is clearer, especially the guitars! If you have both versions in your music player then put your headphones on and skip between the same parts of songs. The difference is pretty huge. Makes me realise that it might not have been the mix that spoiled the CD version for me as much as...

Face in the Sand... a decent enough song ruined there. Kind of wish they'd given him a few more takes of These Colours Don't Run too... Ach well. Even heroes get old.

I also think it's one of the best. Bruce doesn't sound too bad on it to my ears (and I'm normally inwardly quite critical of strainy Bruce!).

Thank you!! That's amazing :) You've made my evening, think I'm going to enjoy the album a lot more now!

The War Machine bootleg from Wembley is a beast, one of my favourites actually. It's audio only, but a great sounding SBD. My favourite moment is Bruce during the bass intro to The Clairvoyant... "He's harmless really!". It always makes me laugh.

Any chance you might consider doing similar vids for the other songs on the album? I've listened to those two about a million times each. Far preferable to the CD version. I checked out my vinyl version last night on my g/f's Technics record player but I don't know if it needs a new cartridge or...
