The Alchemist VS The Alchemist

[Mosh]

I think it has more to do with Animals as the intro and outro of Seventh Son is acoustic, just with Pigs On The Wing. Also, notice how the 'Seven deadly sins' poem and the Pigs on The Wing tells about the same situation, in which the trip will begin and at the end, both verses say that it all ended on that story, but the moral of the whole thing will keep on repeatin on and on and on, as in the ouroboros figure related to Moonchild. That's why I think Steve was mostly inspired by Animals than The Wall, not to mention I think I read Steve saying Animals is his fave Floyd album.

oh yes. you might be right. I think i've read the same interview too.

Bruce. I gotta admit I can't see very much in the Iron Maiden song. It's my least second least favourite off the album.

I really like the CW re-visited part.

BD version it is.

Oh, testify!

Janick's The Alchemist solo is currently my favourite solo on TFF alongside Adrian's on WTWWB and Dave's on El Dorado. I look forward to this song every time I listen to TFF, therefore its the Maiden version for me.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

2 amazing songs, but the Bruce version is my favorite.

 

[Prowler_108]

Maiden version.

I like them both quite a bit, but in the context of the album, the Bruce version wins out.

Maiden by a hair
