    American and European Metal

    I didn't know there was much hate for Janick. Huh. Kai Hansen seems to be very friendly with the current Helloween. I have a feeling he isn't too opposed to the idea. Maybe, just maybe, he'll end up getting Kiske to do the reunion with him. It would be cool if Kai rejoined the current...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    I'v heard samples from the new Unisonic. There does seem to be somewhat of a power metal style to it. Except still with the very generic sound of the first Unisonic album...

    How do you guys feel about the newer Maiden albums?

    You know what's absolutely crazy? For the longest time now I'v been remember Virtual XI as the album with The Unbeliever on it. It's always felt like it had the Virtual XI vibe, that's why. Huh. Really, it sounds to me like it a bridge to Virtual XI. I will say Blaze was am odd choice for...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Iv been listening to Straight Out of Hell again recently, after a break. I really do enjoy Asshole, the title and the fact that Asshole is in the chorus made me immediately think negatively of it, but now I really can say it's a great song, and it's great to see Helloween doing something like...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    I don't believe it's always on purpose. And I'm only talking about Helloween here, i don't have many thoughts regarding this and other bands. Rabbit Don't Come Easy was on purpose, and was odd, I'm still not entirely sure on their reason for that one. What was it again, anyone know?

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Black Wizard....I am a big fan of St. Anger. Really. I love it, love the sound. It's not anything like me trying to go against the general popular opinion, these are just the things i really enjoy. And is Unisonic really metal? I'v heard it's more Hard Rock than metal. Is it anything like Place...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    I know, i know. That's why i love coming to these forums and sharing my opinions, i love bouncing them off other music fans. I'm a pretty big Dream Theater fan, buy my opinions and preferences within their music boggles the minds of most DT fans. I'm also a Helloween fans that prefers Deris way...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    I like when Gerstner does those solos like in Invisible Man, where everything breaks down and it's just him playing a glorious solo. Does it in Church Breaks Down, which i find to be an otherwise bland song. He writes a lot of mid-tempo songs, but Grapow was a lot better at that then him...

    Judas Priest

    I do kinda realize that it isnt as big a deal as it would be if Tipton left, because looking at songwriting i can see Tipton gets more credits then KK. As a huge Maiden fan, I can help but dream of how awesome it could be if KK came back and they kept all three guitarists ;p It worked wonders...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Asshole isn't a bad song. In fact I like the song. But the chorus could use some improvement. And I'll admit the one soft balled on it, written by Sascha, is not very good. But other then those and maybe Live Now! I really love it, that's my opinion, but what I see as being a fact is that it's...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Blasphemy, Night Prowler. Straight Out of Hell is a really, really strong album. It's some of the best stuff they've done in awhile, along with being one of the most cohesive albums they've ever done. They're on a roll IMO. Of course i realize everyone has different oppinions, but it's an...

    Judas Priest

    Sucks how KK Downing isn't in the band anymore. I'm surprised I don't hear more people mentioning (bitching and moaning...) that very important fact. I mean, that's huge! isn't it? I'm sure the new guy is great, they would only get someone great I'm sure. But it's a different Judas Priest now...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Damn. I really like Gambling, but the production sound brings it down for me and I can't enjoy it as much as I'd like to.

    Judas Priest

    Well, i just mean an album like Gambling with The Devil, or 7 Sinners, have big elements of Speed metal (not just power metal). Plus there are a few times on those albums where Deris goes super high and screams in a way similar to what Halford is known for. And I was only talking about...

    Where can i find a version of "when two worlds collide" bruce dickinson

    Lord of The Flies, I love that song! If they don't still play that live, they should. Blaze sounds great on that song, would be interesting to see how Bruce sounds doing it. That sound has such an awesome and unique sound.

    Judas Priest

    I'm kinda just getting more into Priest. I really like the Painkiller album. It sounds a lot different from the stuff they did before it. It has less 'groove', you know? It's really speed metal, and i love it, i'd compare it to some stuff like Helloween (their more recent stuff, like Gambling or...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    yea, it's odd. I'd assume they would have a better grasp on english by now. But then again, they haven't spent much time in america, until lately when they finally started touring here again! Unlike Maiden, for example, who clearly speak English quite well, all the guys, they spend a lot of time...

    Why A Matter Of Life and Death is Iron Maidens best album

    When Wildest Dreams was released as the first single off DoD, i thought it was an odd choice. When I finally heard the whole album, I was even more confused. Why wasn't it Rainmaker? That's one of Maiden's strongest songs in recent years. Great for so many reasons. Rainmaker really highlights...

    Where can i find a version of "when two worlds collide" bruce dickinson

    Can anyone list all the Blaze songs that were covered by Bruce? It's odd, when I listen to songs like Clansman or Sign of The Cross, I think of how it's perfect for Blaze and only he could do it. But then i remember that there are actually a lot of post-blaze material that isn't too far from...

    Why A Matter Of Life and Death is Iron Maidens best album

    I'm having a hard time getting into Final Frontier. I find myself mostly listening to Starblind and Where The Wild Wind Blows, at least more then the others. Coming Home I also really like. The title track is okay, and i like the intro because it is just so odd and not expected from Maiden...
