Happy 5 year anniversary to Queen Of The Murder Scene. Ale was 13 when it came out.

I will have to go with Duran Duran since I've actually heard that song.

I know nothing of what is being talked about here.

EP, you should enjoy this because it's about musical stuff. Everyone else will enjoy it because it's Dany.

I was surprised to see how old he was when I first read about this. I knew he was older than the rest of the band but didn't know he had over 15 years on them. That would have put him at 38 around the time WDADU came out. That was probably one of the reasons he was let go. I never had an issue with his voice and think the album has some really strong songs on it. RIP

Yes, he does. Tyranny Of Souls is very good too. He has a new album coming out next month. As great as he is in Maiden there's a different kind of greatness he taps into with his solo material.

You never heard Resurrection from Halford? That's a very good album. Have you heard Accident Of Birth or The Chemical Wedding from Dickinson? Those are as good as anything he's done since returning to Maiden.

You're more patient than me. I've told annoying people like that to shut the f**k up at shows before. They're so shocked somebody said something they're usually quiet after that or if it's general admission they walk away.

It's available for Spotify premium users. So, I will start listening to it now. Never been a big reader but I do enjoy stories being narrated.

I understand it when he mentions an album or song. People want to show their appreciation for it. Much like they would have at a concert. Cheering for the equipment he used might be a bit much though. Ultimately, fans haven't seen him in a while and it's ok for some to fanboy/girl out if they want to as long as it's not completely taking over the show.

Former singer Charlie Dominici died today. RIP

Here's the ten year anniversary video they showed at the three big shows they did in Mexico last month. Caution, all three of them cry during it. Just so you're prepared.

I didn't know there was another version besides Clapton's.

I didn't even know there were new Geddy songs

I saw them on this tour. My 14 year old ears were not ready for the heaviness that is Tony Iommi's live tone. My hearing didn't get back to normal for over a week. This show probably did permanent damage to my hearing. The amazing thing about Dio is that he performed like he was in a stadium full of people even though it was only a three thousand seat theater. Both his stage presence and Iommi's guitar were too big for that place. The theater still stands today. Fun fact, four years later my high school graduation took place there and I got to walk across the same stage I saw them play on. I also saw Meat Loaf at that theater in 1994. I couldn't care less about graduating. I was happier being able to walk across the same stage they were on.

It's kind of strange for him to mention all those bands along with The Warning since they aren't anywhere near the same style. But yes, if he's holding them close to the same place as bands like Nightwish and Epica who are far more in depth and complex with their songwriting that is pretty high praise. Delain I always thought was paint by numbers symphonic metal. They offer nothing new to the genre and just go with the basics of the genre that bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation set the template for. Still, it's cool that he's heard about them. The Warning have grown a lot in the last year and a half. It's a steady organic growth that is driven by the undying hard work of the band, their team and the fans being as devoted as any fan base I have ever seen. They're not relying on big hits. Choke, Money and More have been decent sized hits for them but not massive in any way. So, it's just a lot of natural, word of mouth growth that has gotten them to where they are. So the fact that someone who is mainly a symphonic/power metal fan has heard of them says a lot about how their growth is reaching others that normally don't regularly listen to hard rock.

Dream Warriors needs more love.

Rush's biggest hit also had an outside writer.

I was looking him up and he's worked with a good amount of bands already. Some fans have complained that they don't like that The Warning were working with outside writers this time around. Yet nobody seemed to mind that Crimson Queen, Choke, Evolve, Error and 23 all had outside writing credits. I think now that they're getting more popular some fans are looking for something to bitch about instead of accepting the fact that they're not this unknown band that only you know about anymore.

It's so endearing their reactions when people are singing along to their songs. They're so young and still can't believe it when that happens. Did you see When I'm Alone from Monterrey? In the middle of the song the crowd started chanting "Dany, Dany" she started crying and had to stop playing the song for a minute. The string section worked well with both songs I felt. With Black Holes I think it's pretty easy to add them since it's a slower piano based song. They incorporated them well into Sandman. Metallica has released a live album with a symphony so maybe that's how they got the idea. The Warning's version is a slower and more haunting so I think the orchestra fit well with their version. Pau once said that she would never play Breathe live because of how personal the song is. I guess she felt she could do it once for the special show. I'm guessing since she had the piano for the show she figured why not? It's not like they're going to be lugging that around with them on tour any time soon. They don't have the crew size or budget for that yet. I'm not sure what's going on with you and Hell You Call A Dream but you're the only person I know of who doesn't like it. Pretty much everyone else thinks it's a great song and can't wait for it to be released. The band had a link to "pre-save new music" on their Instagram after the Guadalajara show but they made no mention of it again until today when they put the same link up on Instagram. So, I think HYCAD and Sick might be out on Friday.

EP, I don't know if you heard the two new songs from them that they performed in Mexico yet but supposedly Dan Lancaster the touring keyboardist for Muse co-wrote Hell You Call A Dream with them. Anyways, here's a good sounding version from the show in Mexico City last week.

The lyrics are: wearing apathetic displays Sharing flesh like envy in cages Condescending Not intending to end

Voices might be his best vocal performance.

Wasn't that around the time he ruptured his vocal chords when he had a very bad bout of food poisoning? His voice was completely f***ed on that tour.
