#20. "Walk With Me In Hell"
'Sacrament' (2006), Lamb Of God
One of the prominent names in modern Metal, Lamb Of God are at their best and most poetic selves in this song. The lyrics are powerful. It was written by guitarist Mark Morton for his wife, based on the tragic experience of losing...
One of the most enjoyable songs from Senjutsu, for me is "The Time Machine" which is often called out for its heavy self-plagiarism.
Are there parts which share similarities with other previous songs? Yes.
Is it lazy or uninspired? NO.
The Time Machine's lyrics has the narrator talking about...
My favourite has to be Harris/Murrray! Dave has a great sense of melody which, when combined with Steve's writing, creates some of the most soulful compositions.
Smith/Dickinson - More straightforward rockers with bluesy licks.
Harris - Full on epics. Has written some of my favourite songs by...
Which songwriting team from the band is your favourite?
Mind you, I'm considering only those teams which have atleast five songs to their name, not considering any non-album songs or B-sides.
Smith/Dickinson
Harris (solo)
Harris/Smith/Dickinson
Harris/Murray
Gers/Harris...
If Maiden ever decided to make an album full of classics with an entire orchestral ensemble, similar to how Metallica did on their S&M album, a setlist by me would be like this:
1. Aces High
2. Dance Of Death
3. Phantom Of The Opera
4. The Trooper
5. No More Lies
6. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son...
#22. "Rock Bottom"
'Phenomenon' (1974), UFO
An epitome of all things that rock (bottom!). UFO's first outing with Michael Schenker, this song is a complete guitar tour de force! Schenker once said, he still looks upon the song as an improvisation as it resulted from a simple practice jam and he...
Dark Millennium, Helloween and Vektor were so good, I really thought they would make it to the finals. But in the finale, I would go for Mirror Reaper.
4 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper +1
3 Mastodon - Leviathan
Transylvania - An awesome instrumental song. Nice changes throughout, really displays Steve Harris' genius and shows why the band was unique from the rest of the NWOBHM pack.
Murders In The Rue Morgue - Contrary to popular opinion, I believe "Purgatory" is rather among the popular tracks from...
R.I.P. Ace. Loved his playing on all the KISS records. Only yesterday did I bought my first ever guitar and later I got this news. But hey, if one legend is lost, another star is born!
My favourite KISS song with Ace on vocals.
6. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - At first I used to find it very weird but ever since I got the concept, I have come to appreciate it even more. Especially the very detail about Eddie's "flaming head" which shows his clairvoyance powers (probably inspired by Arthur Brown). As Thanos says to...
