Best Song Intros

Excellent album. My problem is the production. It's too slick and processed sounding.

I think Master of Puppets was best produced and sounding album of all time. Among a few others, like Back in Black.

So many engineer critics, Sap. This album has caught more criticism than Sharon Ozbourne. It has long been determined that Lars f_-_d up the bass mix.I do love the sound of "Master O P" but I can not overlook the writing James does on "jfa"
I hear what was caught on tape, maybe some of the best melodic metal ever recorded. I rest my case. We can go to the Mfers for more disapproval . Lol
Don't get me wrong, I like you Sap. I just ain't hearing it.:pound-hand:
5 songs in,

So many good ones. Tumbleweed Connection by Elton John is truly fantastic the way it was originally recorded, mixed, and mastered. If you sit back with your eyes closed in the sweet spot between the speakers of a good stereo system, you can hear where in the studio each member of the band was set up.

The drums are amazing in that song. Never mind that the entire arrangement was so brillant. No guitar until after the second verse. But that hi-hat, and sparseness of the drums gave it the haunting feeling it needed.

Yeah it's strange the guitars come in so late but they cut right in when they do. The lyrics are strange as well, basically from what I've gathered is it's some alien you could say? Playing some sort of game with two girls out on a beach near an empty bar. There's references to the star Sirius in it as well. Kinda hard to pin down lol

The Four Winds Bar was a place that the Soft White Underbelly played at. Albert Bouchard told me that the bartender would always steal Buck Dahrma's (Dooonaaald, as Albert would call him in a Long Island accent) car keys, and hang them out of his reach.

Greatest metal singer of all time in his prime and I welcome anyone to fight me over it lol he really was next level, even above 3 of my all time favorites in Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio

Whhhhhoooooaaaaaaaa!!!!! Hold your horses!!!!
There is a reason his name was Dio. He was a god!

But yeah, Tate really could belt it out.

Lol over the years my opinion has flipflopped on who I thought was truly the best. Grew up under Dio first, next came Queensryche when I was younger then exposed to Priest and Maiden around the same time after and I couldn't decide who was greater. What I determined was:

Until his passing, Dio held his voice up the best of all up until he left us. Bruce now keeps his the best and Halfords is still phenomenal, though a lil of the extremely high notes are gone. Tate unfortunately suffered the worst of it and lost the superpower he once had. But, in each of their prime reigns? I think Tate took it to another level, especially when you hear the live at Tokyo version of Take Hold of The Flame. I don't know opera singers that could hit that range level.

But I hold all 4 as the absolute best to ever belt it out

That’s long winded for “Dio was the best”

That was my take away :giggle:

I heard the same statement made about this guy (Miljenko). Not by me but when ever there is a debate about vocalist Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson are in the conversation.
I grew up with their music on my turntable not Geoff Tates. He was good.I saw them once. As much as I like Priest once Iron Maiden came along Bruce kind of took over.
Some times I think that band has a lot more to do with why I choose these vocalist.
I was never a huge Dio fan but I do like certain recordings. Again being backed by a great guitar player (Campbell) or (Iomi) also makes a difference. In the recent year I have listened to a lot of Queensryche and Dio. More than ever I still enjoy hearing Bruce more. I always liked his solo career and for some it rivals Iron Maiden.
 
The guy is from Steelheart. I never heard of him until "Rock Star" movie came out.
Even then I never followed them but I read somewhere someone posted he was better than the best and he is quite good. Go to middle where the high notes are.
Not my cup of tea but to each his own.
