Len Atom Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Do you prefer the lengthy metal fests of Sign of the Cross, Paschendale, Alexander the Great and Chasing Ghosts (amongst others) or the short bursts of Futureal, The Last Day, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Wildest Dreams?I'm not restricting it to just Maiden, Metallica or Atom, it's just they were the first ones at came into my head!

Chris#2 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Both. You need a Stormer to set you up for an Epic, then another Stormer to follow up the Epic, else your attention will wander a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epics - Sign Of The Cross is my favourite Maiden song, it's just pure brilliance.Or you could have more prog and combine the best of both worlds really!

Joe Atom Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Both. You need both. One wouldn't work without the other. You're not leading up to telling me that you've got a new 38 and a half minute song with twenty different time signatures in are you?

Guest Scorge Spike Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Rhapsody epics = much moistness.Metallica 1983-1986 = much thrashness.Maiden 1980-1992 = much epicness.A combination of the three would probably be the best metal album ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Thats why soilwork kick so much ass....Their songs are the 3-4 minute prog epics, that are simultaneously heavy, beautiful and technical as fuck. Genius!!!Epics are great, but too much can be boring for the crowd, unless the odd stormer comes in and kicks your ass!!So...uh....both.

Cammy Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 You need a bit of both. I mean, I love a song like 'Life?' by Napalm death just as much as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Iron Maiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
