Your Maiden blasphemy

[Number 6]

TFF above BNW?

I did that too.

 

[Edington]

I did that too.

Hm, I had no idea TFF is thought so highly of.

To be fair, my opinion is less influenced by the songwriting and more by the performances and production. I just don't enjoy listening to it, however, the songs really do come to life live.

Is there an award for most blasphemous post?

Why is it blasphemous that someone likes something?

 

[Collin]

Why is it blasphemous that someone likes something?

Everything here is blasphemy. It’s in the title.

 

[Collin]

I don't care about where you rank aMoLaD! You're making needless lists therefore you suck.

Is there a such thing to Cried as a useful list?

 

[Diesel 11]

Worse than Public Enema Number One?

I like both titles and I was not mocking either. I said it’s the least good song on TBOS.

 

[Edington]

Is there a such thing to Cried as a useful list?

A shopping list?

 

[Collin]

A shopping list?

That what I was thinking! Curious to see what Cried says.

 

[Black Wizard]

A to-do list?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

That what I was thinking! Curious to see what Cried says.

I find shopping lists really useful & practical, Collin. I make one every day to remind me of what I need to buy to stay alive.

You must go shopping a lot.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Yes, every day. As my previous post makes clear.

 

[Collin]

I find shopping lists really useful & practical, Collin. I make one every day to remind me of what I need to buy to stay alive.

You should make a list of the top ten most useful lists.

I think Shadows of the Valley is probably a sideways reference to The Trooper - "Into the valley of death" is from the Tennyson poem.

What about those lyrics? "Soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness" "Lay in fear as the dark raven crows" "Praying that they wouldn’t die"

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

What about those lyrics? "Soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness" "Lay in fear as the dark raven crows" "Praying that they wouldn’t die"

Well, quite. Actually "Sea of Madness" was the first reference I spotted (mainly because it wasn't exactly subtle ) I think there are a few references in other songs too.

 

[Number 6]

There's the musical reference to "Wasted Years".

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Many people would call it a rip-off.

 

[Collin]

Many people would call it a rip-off.

Maiden has played what is essentially the same riff in Ghengis Khan, Hallowed, and Infinite Dreams but no one is complaining.

Papa Roach also ripped it off.

 

[Christoffer]

Fear of the Dark is a shit sandwich, first 3 songs and the title track are good. Everything in between is crap

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Fugitive, Judas and Wasting love are certainly not crap. But I agree that FOTD has some of their worst songs.
