This song is Time Stands Still by Blind Guardian, one of my favorite bands, I mostly like them cause of how clean and healthy the musicians in the band look, they aren't trying to create a mainstream image for themselves, they play well live and representing themselves as actual bards rather than using an image for fame.. And their songs are based off LOTR and D&D..

Above; For what it is, 5/10. As for my preferences, 1/5.

[Kas Valentine]

Tasty, five out of five !

Puts me in mind of a combination between Sisters of Mercy and Apocalyptica for some reason.

Killing Joke - America

"There were fireworks in the Gulf, there was champagne at home, (how I love) A-me-rica"

Classic.

[Jassi Cowin]

Nice one Kas, not a fan of cheesy 80's rock songs, they do better as metal covers (80's glam metal sucks btw) aka: Hair Metal

I give yer song though a 3.5/5

Meh 5/10 good gaming music, but nothing else.

[Kas Valentine]

Heh, my mate sings A3 songs in her band, awesomesauce !

I especially like the concept of the "American Scream", 5 out of 5.

Since a claim was made that hair metal sucks, I must respond in kind.....

Poison - Cry Tough

Hair metal for life 'yo.

[Maccen]

4/5 Kas, I happen to like Poison. They are definatley from a time when dressing like a woman and having long hair was socially acceptible and didn't make you ehhh.

Yet another for all your enjoyment a little East/West Fussion. Song by Rachid Taha who's parents fled Algeria when he was only 8, he now lives in france. The translation I include is much longer than most as its done by an english speaker where as most done by arabic listeners only include the first verse. . . so bear in mind some words are out of place but I think you'll feel the emotion in it. Barra Baraa (Outside Outside, or Everybody Out; matter of symantics)

The English:

1.barra barra (outside) = bb
Sadness, hate and the reign of arbitrary
bb
Destruction, jealousy ; there is no trust left
bb
Thirst and people are unlucky
bb
No honour, but oppression and slavery
bb
Rivers were dried up and seas have ruined everything
bb
Stars are switched off and the sun went down
bb
There are no trees left and the birds stopped singing
bb
There are neither days, nor nights left, darkness only
bb
Hell ; there is no beauty left
bb
(solo of mandolute and ululation)
---
2.bb
Time has increased, there is no honour left
bb
Ruin and war and the blood is flowing
bb
There are only walls left, walls standing up
bb
Fear and people remain silent
bb
Sadness, hate and the reign of arbitrary
bb
Destruction and jealousy ; there is no trust left
bb
Rivers were dried up and seas have ruined everything
bb
stars are switched off and the sun went down
barra barra (in a low voice, plus crescendo)
---
3.bb
There is neither good, nor happiness, nor luck anymore
bb
There are no trees left; the birds stopped singing
bb
There are neither nights, nor days left; darkness only
bb
Desolation, hell, there is no beauty left
bb
(Silence)
bb
Time has increased, there is no honour left

I like the song... 4/5

Now, one of the greatest musicians ever!

[Pickles]

That's cheating. You can't possibly give Jimi anything under 5/5.

[Kelly Sanderson]

NIN? Can't be anything less than top marks, bud'.

I'm posting this mainly because of the video. They're always top notch, even if the music is mediocre at times.

4/5. S'good, but not absolutely wonderful.
