Eddies Wingman said:Does the same go for the borrowing of the No More Lies-riff in Isle of Avalon, or the intro of Tailgunner which is very similar to The Clairvoyant?
Eddies Wingman said:I mean, Maiden songs containing parts that are inspired by older Maiden songs are not a new phenomenon. Heck, even within the same album you can find parts that are similar (ref. The Duellists and Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
Eddies Wingman said:In some cases it may even seem like homage to older songs (like the Isle of Avalon intro, which has much in common with the mid part of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son).
Eddies Wingman said:I have the following stance on this kind of "inspiration": As long as the whole song isn't based on old stuff or the rip-offs are too blatant (think back to the discussion about a certain Gamma Ray album), I have nothing against borrowing a little part from an older song.

This!Jeffmetal said:8. Tense intro, experimental, unique and remarkable; the song bursts with aggression and Blaze delivers in great manner. The chorus is a different type of idea, too, but it could've been better, so as the "Blood On The World's Hands..." repetition before getting back to the bridge; solos are short, but fantastic, as throughout the whole album.
Eddies Wingman said:I am, in general, quite laid-back when it comes to music. If I like it, I like it, and I don't like over-analyzing it. On the other hand, I really like studying it, and finding out new things about it. This forum is excellent for that purpose
