Sun and Steel is one of H's misunderstood masterpieces. People call it filler because it was just too awesome for normal ears. They were even afraid to put it on the record. That is why it has never been performed live, and is buried in the tracklist. If it was to be performed live, the sun would burn out and it would be impossible to sustain life on earth.
Ive never undestand why they didnt play Sun & Steel live! Its an awesome song and Im sure it would work live perfectly! Maybe they sholud make a "Pearls of the Beast Tour" or something like that to play songs that never got played or at least only a little
Well fans put the "filler" tag too haphazardly on stuff they rank as second tier material. I don't think any of the songs up there was written by the band just because they needed an extra song on record.
This thread and its premise is a joke. Unless a band clearly stated that something is a filler, there is no authoritative background for such a list. For all we know, Rime of the Ancient Mariner could have been written as a filler because the album was 10 minutes short.
