stoopid Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kODOf2vuTg More Nu Metal to my ears, that chorus is too catchy for most metal purist's sensitive sensibilities. SSotS is dark, and the groove (like most Squire bass lines it seems from that era) is gritty/raw, but I'm not sure this would necessarily be metal (by any era's standards). Yes is not a metal band. Square peg + round hole = stoopid twitchy
stoopid Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 To play along (for purely academic reasons ;) ), I submit Heart of a Sunrise. To my ears, their 'heaviest' sound: 3
HemiBeers Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Most metal bands have never created something as heavy as South Side Of The Skymost underrated Yes song. proves that you can be heavy without thrash and distortion. Edited July 15, 2018 by HemiBeers 3
Fridge Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 To play along (for purely academic reasons ;) ), I submit Heart of a Sunrise. To my ears, their 'heaviest' sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WDkdZ6QvXY That's the one I would have plumped for.
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Most metal bands have never created something as heavy as South Side Of The Skymost underrated Yes song. proves that you can be heavy without thrash and distortion. It's either this or Heart Of The Sunrise when it comes down to it. Maybe the End section of Starship Trooper as well. SSOTS is easily one of my absolute favorite Yes songs, if not just my favorite. Steve Howe is a madman. 4

Steve Howe is a madman.I think it's a perfect example of a Yes song, you have the heaviness of the beginning and the end and the softness of the middle section. Plus it's not so self-indulgent and difficult to listen to like Tales from the Topographic Oceans or Close to the Edge (song) Edited July 15, 2018 by HemiBeers 3
pjbear05 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Most metal bands have never created something as heavy as South Side Of The Sky^^^This. Chris' bass lines, that jagged, grinding organ sound unique to Hammond, Steve's final guitar solo. City of Love is ok, but pure wankery compared to SSotS. 3

tangy Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Starship trooper! A few fans are banging their heads in the early 70's on yessongs. 4

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 gates even has the same sort of galloping sound priest and maiden are known forIt's only maiden who have a "galloping sound". Priest has a pulsating sound. Ian Hill is a master of holding down the fort. 1
goose Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 gates even has the same sort of galloping sound priest and maiden are known forIt's only maiden who have a "galloping sound".Priest, and others (Styx) used it, but didn't rely on it.

I mean, there's a couple of the new album that have a little bit of that (title track, Lightning Strikes), but certainly that's unusual in their discography as a whole.
