    Name your fave three songs from the reunion era yet

    Montségur as #1. Then pick two more from the following: Face In The Sand, For The Greater Good Of God, These Colors Don't Run, The Talisman and When the Wild Wind Blows because I just can't leave any of these out.

    Doom Metal

    Still during the 90's and early 2000's some bands started to do all kind of crazy mixes involving Doom Metal: I remember how confused yet amazed I felt when I listened to this vinyl in 1993. Confessor takes Doom and throws it in a complex time signature labyrinth with guitar riffs not too far...

    Doom Metal

    Great track! Like I said before I believe no one can even start talking about Doom Metal without mentioning Saint Vitus, Pentagram or Witchfinder General. Yeah, I think it's true they pretty much emulated the doomier, heavier and darker side of 70's Sabbath. But if it wasn't for them rehashing...

    Pick the three best performed songs from Beast Over Hammersmith

    Amazing show with the band firing at all cylinders. The opener MITRM and Killers are simply mind blowing. The rest of the setlist is amazing as well yet I'll go with Total Eclipse since it was never played again after this tour and the band nailed it 100% here.

    Doom Metal

    There are also some Post Metal/ Sludge bands that occasionally go reaaaaaaaaaaally Doomy. First and foremost: Obscure Sphinx. Amazing band with a jaw dropping frontwoman in Zofia Fras (in every aspect). This track is a voyage. Enjoy. A more well-known name is Neurosis. Starting as a Hardcore...

    Doom Metal

    When it comes to more psychedelic and retro sounding Doom bands (yet giving it a modern twist) Sleep comes immediately to mind. Even so, Sleep isn't even my Al Cisneros favorite band. IMO OM is even more mind blowing and diversified: Another truly hypnotic group that's been around for a fair...

    Doom Metal

    Suddenly the whole Death Doom thing spread like wildfire across Europe: Now, despite recognizing the mastery of Katatonia as musicians, the fact is most of their releases never rang with me, except their masterful sophomore Brave Murder Day. Looking for the Doom parallel of early Opeth? Try...

    Doom Metal

    Was not aware there were so many Doom Metal fans like me here at the forum. That being said, some of my favorite records within the genre. Despite loving Witchfinder General, Pentagram and St. Vitus I won't include them on this list, since their brand of doom was almost identical to what Sabbath...

    Doom Metal

    Another masterpiece... way ahead of its time.

    Doom Metal

    This one suffices... Masterpiece.

    Doom Metal

    IMO, this record is virtually perfect. The only mistake was not including Last Judgement.

    Metallica

    Like I mentioned in my post, it is merely my take on what could be a cool edition. It is by no means 100% my prediction on what the band would do if they were to release a Best of. Even so, even if it was the case, I don't think it is that far-fetched, since TWENTY of the tracks on my list would...

    Metallica

    Only recently came to the conclusion Metallica don't have an officially self-released "Best of". Here's my take on what could be a cool 2-disc set: Disc 1: 72 Seasons Hardwired Dream No More Spit Out the Bone That Was Just Your Life Frantic * Some Kind of Monster (single version) The Unnamed...

    Your 10 Favorite Maiden Songs (with a Twist)

    Best fast banger: Plenty of amazing tracks on this department. "Aces High" is by far my favorite yet I think I'll go with "Montségur" at #2. Best long epic: Easily "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Best long based on books or movies: Yeah... "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" once again. "Sign of the...

    Your 10 Favorite Maiden Songs (with a Twist)

    "Sign of the Cross" (Former members) This track is in my top ten and is, by far, my favorite post 80's one. Furthermore, it has everything Maiden's top tier epics are known for. I prefer Rock in Rio's live version: a slightly faster pace truly benefits the track and, obviously, Bruce's...

    Time travel: Which legendary Maiden shows of the past would you attend? (pick two)

    My #1 pick is easily Long Beach 1985 (the gig that came out in audio format... on the video one Bruce kinda lacks muscle on a couple of songs). Then I would also love to see them on their fiercest version during the Killer World Tour. 1983 is a really close second, too.

    If you had to make a 2-CD greatest hits (with some surprises) album. What would it be?

    If it was just personal favorites: Disc 1: Sanctuary Phantom of The Opera Murders In the Rue Morgue Genghis Khan The Number of the Beast The Trooper Revelations Still Life To Tame a Land Aces High Powerslave Rime of the Ancient Mariner Caught Somewhere in Time Wasted Years Heaven Can Wait...
