[Palpy]

...Weekend Warrior vs The Apparition?

 

[Forostar]

6-5 Fear of the Dark. The only "BNW" songs I selected:

Ghost
Brothers
Dream
Nomad
The Apparation

The rest can't beat their FOTD opponents in my book.

 

[Ariana]

Only voting for Childhood's End and Weekend Warrior from FOTD.

 

[Edington]

Oh, come on. Brave New World is my favourite album, so Fear of the Dark is getting pasted.

The Wicker Man
Ghost of the Navigator
Brave New World
Blood Brothers
The Mercenary
Dream of Mirrors
The Fallen Angel
The Nomad
Judas Be My Guide
The Apparition
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

 

[Forostar]

Good to see Judas and Appariton votes.

 

[Edington]

I like Judas a lot, very underrated. Not overly keen on Apparition or WW, but the former got my vote for that awesome middle section.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

One of my favourites vs my least favourite (FOTD). Still a couple of re-listens required, though.
FOTD vs Thin Line; interesting one. Thin Line is brilliant, one of their great underrated gems. Never seek out the recorded version of FOTD but I love it live and its a classic of the genre. So do I bring my live experience into play or vote solely based on these 2 specific versions? Could go either way. Still, I expect a heavy win for BNW.

I'd go by the studio versions, that's the only reason Heaven Can Wait beat The Clansman on one of the previous rounds. Any other live version, Blaze or Bruce, would've won.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

10-1 for BNW. The only non-BNW song I voted for was in a match without a BNW song.

Damn you for making me vote for Weekend Warrior!

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I'd go by the studio versions, that's the only reason Heaven Can Wait beat The Clansman on one of the previous rounds. Any other live version, Blaze or Bruce, would've won.

This is probably what will happen. I've had more enjoyment from FOTD over the years but I have a softer spot for Thin Line, if that makes sense. And I would say that 99% of the times I have heard FOTD, it has been a live version.

 

[Black Wizard]

Be Quick or be Dead vs The Wicker Man
From Here to Eternity vs Ghost of the Navigator
Afraid To Shoot Strangers vs Brave New World
Fear is the Key vs Blood Brothers (sympathy vote)
Childhood's End vs The Mercenary
Wasting Love vs Dream of Mirrors
The Fugitive vs The Fallen Angel
Chains of Misery vs Nomad
Judas be my Guide vs Out Of The Silent Planet
Weekend Warrior vs The Apparition
Fear of the Dark vs The Thin Line Between Love And Hate

7-4 to 'Brave New World'.

 

[Black Bart]

9-1 for Fear of the Dark (only "Ghost...")+ "Weekend Warrior" > "The Apparition"

 

[Diesel 11]

Can’t “The Apparition” every gets a break?

 

[Black Wizard]

No, it's rubbish.

 

[Number 6]

6-5 BNW. FOTD songs were "Be Quick", "Afraid To Shoot Strangers", "Childhood's End", "Judas" and "Fear of the Dark" + "The Apparition".

 

[The Flash]

Can’t “The Apparition” every gets a break?

It's my least favorite Maiden song so in my case the answer is no.

 

[frus]

Ww is not much better but has great guitar solos at least

 

[LooseCannon]

9-2 BNW.

 

[Brigantium]

Go Weekend Warrior!
