Eddies Wingman said:A sore point? Not generally. I don't care too much for Maiden's instrumentals. But for Metallica I find their instrumentals to be among their finest moments - and that they didn't survive fuckin' LOAD was beyond me - when they had already survived the black album, that is.
Forostar said:From a neutral point of view, those songs (esp. Transylvania but GK even more!) contain unexpected time and tempo changes.
That's more dynamic than a song continuing for 8 minutes in the same tempo, repeating some slow riffs over and over again.
I like that. It's part of Maiden's trademark. Moreover, I am really fond of GK's ending part. Cool guitars, bass and drums.
Imo there is more variation, more is happening.
You guys don't like the way things are going in this single topic, but I am amazed by the choices in 4(!) others.
I totally don't like the way things are going in the Sabbath, Priest and especially Maiden and Rush survivors topics. Thanks for that!
Forostar said:Indeed. Esp. the Rush & Sabbath topics lack attention. Just a couple of voters.
About Sabbath, many of my favourite songs have already disappeared though I am still content with some that are left. I am more "worried" about what's to come.
