NOW PLAYING

I was born in 1971 and grew up listening to my older brother playing Led Zeppelin in New York City's classic rock channels (WNEW, WAPP, WPLG) but I'm watching this documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin and I never realized how fucking ALREADY METAL Led Zeppelin were in 1969 before I was born.

Just “tell me what you can hear, and then tell me what you see.” See, see, see. Why is the late Cliff Burton on the cover of that Jethro Tull album? And why is the title so prophetic - Too Young to Die?

Do you know something? Is this the Matrix? Or do you have some secret channel to another version of reality where Cliff didn’t die, left Metallica after Jethro Tull beat them in ’89, and joined that eccentric band led by the flute-playing man?

Be honest. Don’t hide anything. And give me the number of that postman from the other dimension, because I’d like to hear those grand albums that don’t exist in our reality too: Master of Flutes (1990), And Justice for Tull (1991), Ride the Bagpipes (1993)
Cmmon - don't be greedy!
 
Avantasia - Dying For An Angel


One of their best songs imo. It sounds classic Scorpions and the chorus is pure gold, a mix of old school with a power metal feel. :rocker:

I don’t like that kind of production at all. To me, it sounds deliberately less metal - watered down, like: “Look how accessible we are.” The guitars have no real bite, and the overall instrumental sound (at least through my system) feels muddy or something along those lines. It’s hard to explain exactly what I mean.

Production-wise, I really only liked the first two Avantasia albums. After those, Tobias seemed to change his approach, and the later albums started sounding less metal to my ears.
