Funny, I was going to bring this up earlier today. I would also guess that there's some combination. With Taylor having a credit on every song, he probably wrote some of the lyrics for each one. But there are some that seem very much like Steve lyrics, like, as Maturin said, the reference to a...

This is a hard one, but I think it would have to be a combination of hits and rare songs: 1. Aces High 2. Futureal 3. Revelations 4. The Trooper 5. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns 6. Run Silent Run Deep 7. Killers 8. Blood Brothers 9. The Clairvoyant 10. Lord of the Flies 11. Paschendale 12. Run...

Yeah, sorry for being unclear, when you insert the disc in your computer it includes, in addition to the album, 192kbps mp3 files. But that does not preclude you ripping the album, it's just to make it easier to get them on mp3 if you don't care about quality/for some reason can't/don't know how...

I just got my British Lion CD in the mail (US resident, ordered from Amazon.com), but something confused me: The CD came with a little paper telling me that it includes the album at a bitrate of 192 kbps. Is there any reason I would want to do this when I can rip it using iTunes at 256 kbps?

The X Factor is one of my favorite albums, my favorite songs from the Blaze era are Sign of the Cross and Blood On the World's Hands. The Unbeliever is a definite top 50 song for me, I'm not sure how far up (I've been working on my rankings, but I'm very meticulous and obsessive, and want to...

Hmm. Good point. When I said that, I was mostly thinking about the intro and first verse ("Now I can't believe it's true... No errors in the calculations"), which he does phenomenally. Very well. This is one of Blaze's middle of the road Maiden songs. Now I feel sort of pressured to enumerate...

I really can't imagine Bruce doing as well as Blaze on When Two Worlds Collide. I think it's one of his best songs, vocally. I don't really care one way or another if Bruce performs it, though I suppose it would be a cool deep cut and I wouldn't mind seeing it live. Still, I'm almost positive...

Was British Lion heavier than expected for anyone else? I thought it sounded a lot closer to metal than I expected given the "hard rock" descriptor. In fact (keeping in mind I've only listened to it once), I'm not so sure I wouldn't classify it as metal rather than hard rock.

I can agree that the vocals ar not too great for the music. I mostly agree with you, Moon Child, on the subject, I think there's nothing wrong with the vocalist, his voice just doesn't fit the music. There are songs where he sounds fairly good, though, such as, if I remember correctly, Karma...

That makes a little more sense, given your earlier statements. I do not know much about Kemalism, but from cursory research, it seems like a mixed system. Some parts, like the pillar of "Revolutionism" seem poorly defined, and make the "progressive" error: That something is good just because it...

Okay. Now I understand that you're coming from a Marxist perspective. I find Marxism to be deplorable. It lacks a theory of the individual and insists that individuals sacrifice themselves for the sake of the "society." I find few things to be more important than respect of individual rights...

You seem to misunderstand a large amount of my post. I was stating, in no uncertain terms, that what we have is in no way capitalism. There is no system in the world today that bears more than a passing resemblance to capitalism. The US is one of the closest, but all of its problems stem from...

The camera is a bit silly, but once I got used to it, it wasn't that annoying, at least for me. Definitely buy it for Paschendale live, and a few others like Journeyman. I have yet to see the documentary but I plan on watching it soon (DotR is a recent acquisition of mine). Also, I would say...

I'm sorry, but where do you get the idea that capitalism causes wars? True capitalism (something that does not exist in the United States nor anywhere else in the world) is the only economic system which does not involve taking that which one does not earn. Capitalism, in its essence, is about...

Romney is definitely an interventionist, but so is Obama. I put both of them at around the same chance of coming up with a reason to start another war in the Middle East. This recent event is going to get some people fired up in support of these wars, too. What needs to happen here is that...

Don't hold me to this, but IIRC Steve said that he would like to release footage from Somewhere On Tour only there isn't any.

Although it's not as bad as Aces High on LAD, Bruce doesn't sound great on The Wicker Man on Rock In Rio, either, but on all the rest he sounds amazing.

Yes, I can understand that, however, despite being new, I do not view it as the best. I think you have to reach a point where you need to view stuff objectively, and this goes for oldies too, to look at a song or album within or out of the context of history as necessary. I've read before that...

En Vivo is very good, though personally I think Live After Death is the best live album/video, with Rock In Rio also up there. En Vivo was my first, though (he said, continuing to reveal the fact that he is a newbie), and in the space of a few weeks I watched it like 5 or 6 times, so I have...

When the Wild Wind Blows definitely has a different sound to it. I'm not musically knowledgable, so I'm not sure I can describe it, but I pretty solidly agree with the idea that it is a Iron Maidenized folk song. The song has a really desperate feel, until the ironic twist at the end. This song...
