Really surprised to see an Anathema thread here. As I am a Doom Metal musician, this band was quite important to me in their early days. Their first three albums were milestones of Doom, and also the Pentecost III EP. The 4th album was not Doom anymore but still is a master piece. They lost me...

I also think a 100 minutes show is possible and also appropriate for a tour like this, but I guess it will be a bit shorter. As for the setlist, it wouldn't be bad. Kick out TTAL and replace it with something good from 7th Son, and it's fine (not too far from my wishlist). All the boring stuff...

If Maiden hired me as their setlist creator (and they should, they really need consultation, and asking this forum only results in poor advice), the setlist would be: Be Quick or Be Dead Wrathchild The Prisoner Still Life Deja Vu Judas Be My Guide The Trooper No Prayer For The Dying Killers...

I would bet money that most of these hot takes won't actually happen. They won't open with NOTB, they WILL play tracks from SIT, they won't play Infinite Dreams. No tracks from NPFTD will unfortunately probably be true. No Aces High is also likely.

This sentence makes my poor old math teacher rotate in his grave... ...even though I agree there is no chance that those songs won't be played.

Viking Metal IS a thing, it's a subgenre of Black Metal. It's not simply a question of lyrics. Thyrfing, Falkenbach, Einherjer, Turisas, Enslaved, several Bathory albums....

Whatever they are, they are far from "true death Metal". It's basically for people who usually don't listen to death Metal. I don't know a single death Metal maniac who listens to that band. It's mostly people who don't listen to extreme stuff at all. No offense, if you like them it's cool...

Lol, what?! This is factually wrong on every level. Opeth can't be even called progressive death metal. They were melo death in the early days, then turned into progressive rock gradually. Progressive death is bands like Atheist, Cynic, mid-era Pestilence, later Death, Gorguts, Edge of Sanity...

Don't get me wrong, I definitely acknowledge the importance of these albums, but your reasoning here is beyond me. They are "certified classics" so they must be good... This is exactly why bands like Beatles and Led Zep are so overblown. They are certified, so they MUST be good/special/genius...

And I back you up. 70s Priest has much less Hits than 80s Priest. Sad Wings and SAS are rather boring, they get relevant on my map with British Steel.

Opeth is insanely overrated, no matter what era we are talking about. They do have some cool songs on My Arms Your Hearse and Blackwater Park, but not remotely enough to justify their status.

I find Kiss hugely entertaining, I just don't care much about the music.. Their early stuff is a blatant Beatles rip off with some added heaviness. Then they went disco when it was hip, only to become glam when it was big, and then give alternative a try in the early 90s. A total...

Interesting. RSRD is one of the better tracks on NPFTD, and I always liked it because it had a slight SIT feel, unlike the rest of the album. I always thought it was a mere coincidence. Seems it wasn't.

And again. Very poor.

@ Mosh: very revealing that when I asked you several specific questions in order to Back Up your very questionable claims, all you come up with is . In other words, you have no answers and instead try to make your opponent look ridiculous.

Live after death: classic, but I rarely listen. Bruce is quite off at times. It's great as video, though. A real live one: Awesome. Raw, authentic, good setlist. A real dead one: same. Live at Donington: awesome (but redundant if you own Live/Dead) Rock in Rio: awesome sound and performance, but...

I actually like the Use Your Illusion albums a lot, even though they have some terrible garbage songs too. But if I would throw all the fillers out and make it one single album with all the great songs, it would be much better than Appetite (which has a killer A side, but a much weaker B side)...

Believe it or not, I have listened to all their official studio albums completely, and most of them several times. So you can call me a moron without taste, but at least no one can say I don't know the bands I dislike ;) 60s msuic culture was part of my studies in musicology, so I had to listen...

Well, I don't deny the Beatles had talent, and a certain special appeal beyond mere marketing. I don't even deny they had some good songs. I just strongly oppose the everlasting myth that the Beatles were huge innovators or creators of Beat, modern day Rock or Psychedelic or whatever. And I...

... or what makes them so incoherent and inconsistent in quality. It's a question of perspective. I know, but it is still in heir catalogue, with their approval. When I follow some classic rock discussion in social media and music forums, I get he impression hat quite a few worshippers discuss...
