You can throw in dungeons and dragons bands, and cunts writing tuneless shit in odd time signatures to impress nerds, too.

Also, there's nothing more gimmicky than Death Metal and Black Metal :lol: Bunches of social outcasts singing about eating babies and burning churches:lol:

All the classic bands have radio friendly hit songs, that's why Ghost were a breath of fresh air, bringing back hits and toning down the influences from extreme metal.

and even released it!

Metal has a large element that only really listen to Metal because it's a niche genre, therefore when a band is actually popular it triggers them. There's a film that was on netflix a while back, I think it was called Metal Lords, it was a fairly shit film, but one of the characters was one of...

Those are my next in line albums after the first one.

I think the shortness of SSOASS is the real outlier in there. You've got one of the bands longest ever songs skewing the average, but the run time of 40 odd minutes was significantly shorter than previous albums, despite the concept seeming like it would have had the opposite effect on song lengths

Was aware of them from the Midnight Mountain video, and have a couple of albums. I'd be more of a "best of" sort of fan of these than a die hard

Opus Eponymous

Was going to get that myself, but was very expensive after the postage was added, think it was over €50 even with the FC discount, so I didn't bother

Compare the time it took to do the same sort of thing on the Legacy of the Beast

I thought it was brilliant that they had screens on the platforms, so one minute they looked like pyramids, the next icebergs, the next part of a ship etc.

:lol: Drafted a few responses re: repetitive choruses, but like you decided weighing in on metal fans attention deficit disorder was probably not in my interests

I'd go so far as to say any words other than "better watch out, cos I'm the assassin"

Not a fan of the playing a classic album in the original running order, have seen a few bands do this, and the order doesn't really suit a gig momentum a lot of the time, plus there's no element of surprise. Maiden would probably do TNOTB, which might soften the blow, because you've got 3...

Angel of Retribution was a real good comeback album ruined by the preposterous Loch Ness. Tyranny of Souls is solid enough, some great stuff on it, but a good few non-entities like Believil, River of No Return and Soul Intruders. Don't know any of the rest of the albums

Nicko retired of his own free will because he deemed himself not fit enough to be able to do the job.

The System has Failed is great, I remember enjoying Inferno, but haven't listened to it since probably 2004. Saw both bands on that tour. Think I may have Master of the Moon but remember it being shit.

Maiden have opened with 3 in a row from the new record quite a few times.

To Live is to Die is not an instrumental
