    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 70-75

    Also, the intro to that DT song is a clear rip of Floyd's The Thin Ice.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 70-75

    Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody vs. Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On DT track is pretty bad, sounds like a boy band, and you can just imagine them all standing up off their stools for the high pitched bit before the solo. Again, this shite seems to appear here without any sneering comments, so...

    I was just being a smart arse there :lol: Is Led Zep 2 a metal album? I would definitely consider it as falling under the umbrella. There's harmonica in Bring It On Home

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 70-75

    I'd say there's good odds of that, as it's the second track on the first ever Heavy Metal album

    ah shite I missed the end of this, I had most of it drafted anyway so might as well post it Black Sabbath - The Wizard vs. Evoken - Antithesis of Light The Wizard is a Heavy Metal classic. Evoken, I lasted a few minutes out of politeness to @Diesel 11. The Wizard Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to...

    What don't you like about the production? I think maybe there should be some allowances given to the year it was recorded in, it certainly sounds better produced than Led Zeppelin 2 or Black Sabbath to me. And there's no problems with the musicians or the engineer (Martin Birch)

    Anthrax - Antisocial vs. Anthrax - Armed and Dangerous Both tracks great, Armed and Dangerous wins on account of being better, with the added bonus of being an original Armed and Dangerous Venom - Witching Hour vs. Scorpions - No One Like You I'm more familiar with the Slayer live cover on the...

    Antisocial is a cover of Nicko's former band Trust!

    Just a quick request lads. I'm going to go into hibernation on the forum to avoid Bruce spoilers, but I'll still be checking this thread, I know it's quite unlikely there will be any spoilers, but just in case can we keep them out of this thread please?

    Helloween - Ride the Sky vs. Stratovarius - My Eternal Dream Neither great, but Helloween a good bit closer to what I like Ride the Sky Deep Purple - Black Night vs. Scorpions - In Trance Black Night is great but going with my own nominee (although I was a bit in doubt whether to nominate...

    Slayer Metallica Megadeth Anthrax EDIT: I didn't even read the link so assumed it was of the big 4 only, otherwise I don't think Anthrax would be in 4th place

    How much are you willing to pay for the ticket to the final Iron Maiden gig?

    I'd go to see the tour absolutely, but I wouldn't pay over the odds to be at the actual final gig. You've no guarantee it will actually be the final gig, so therefore you're left hoping they will never reform otherwise you've pissed money away.

    The Concert Thread

    Saw Priest in Paris on Monday, great show, with Devil's Child, Lightning Strike and Victim of Changes coming in that weren't in the Dublin set, and with Glenn making an appearance in the encore Metal Gods too. Zenith is a great venue, but it was a bit of a shambles. It was advertised as doors...

    The first Priest album I ever got was Metal Works, and that was on spec, I had no idea what to expect from the track and definitely presumed it would be a Manowar style more-metal-than-thou style track before listening. Was pleasantly surprised when I heard it, and like you say, predating...

    Familiar round for me, only need to listen to Opeth, so as a result I'm making some instinctive knee jerk decisions Opeth - The Leper Affinity vs. Judas Priest - Metal Gods Insert usual Opeth comments here, Metal Gods brilliant Metal Gods Motörhead - (We Are) The Roadcrew vs. Blood Star -...

    That's a re-recording of Over the Wall, not sure what the quality of this one is like as I haven't listened to it but it looks like the original album version

    Slayer - Hell Awaits vs. Gamma Ray - Valley of the Kings Hell Awaits has the best build up intro in Metal, with bonus points for evil messages, plus relentless brutality when it kicks in. Gamma Ray wasn't my cup of tea Hell Awaits Thin Lizzy - Emerald vs. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction...

    Fates Warning - The Ivory Gate of Dreams vs. W.A.S.P. - The Idol I gave a fair amount of time to the Fates Warning track, some ok riffs, ok vocals. The Idol is the centrepiece of one of the best ever Metal albums. The Idol Black Sabbath - Falling Off the Edge of the World vs. The Who - Won't...

    Agreed. I haven't listened to this isolated track, but it's pointless listening to something completely isolated. There's a clip of the isolated bass on youtube from 2 Minutes to Midnight (from Powerslave), and it sounds kind of sloppy, then there's also a clip of the drum and bass together...
