Writing on the Wall IMHO doesn't deserve the hate it's getting. I think it's great, that bridge is crazy hard to play and the vocal delivery is full of passion. Not sure how people aren't getting into it.
Love that sig :D
:lol Thanks. They went and flipping changed the site artwork literally the day after I did it! Instantly out of date. Hide the pain Harold certainly seems appropriate for this site at times :lol

Yup. That transition from Myles' solo to the heavy riff that follows it is killer!

SO MUCH YES!! That transition from Myles' epic solo into that brutal bridge is my fave section of the song!

Second favorite AB moment, only to the Blackbird bridge.

Oh my, picking favourite AB moments, now that is a toughy. Though obviously the aforementioned TLH moment is definitely up there, along with the Blackbird bridge. But there are so many others to choose from. The intro and drop in Watch You Words. Myles held notes in Blackbird, Find The Real and Save Me. The Down To My Last Solo. The Brand New Start solo, when everything comes back so fucking beautifully. And that only covering the first to albums briefly. Damn, gonna have to give this some serious thought.....

For me My Champion is by a long distance the worst song they ever recorded. Skip it whenever I must or can and definitely did not put it on any playlist. The pre-release of this song truly was my biggest disappointment in AB-history and a truly scary-moment (oh my god ! will the rest be just as bad ? Is this the way they are heading ? Now happy they were not) of this cd-cycle. Such a shame for this great great band to come with this crap.

Have we ever had a thread for our favorite moments in songs rather than full songs? In case a song has a really good section, but the rest somehow prevents it from being one of your 'favorites/top 10s'?

Coming Home is miles better than My Champion from a guitar standpoint, surely. Solo or no solo. The chorus in Coming Home is actually one of the more interesting ones they've done chord progression-wise.

Man, it's weird how divisive Coming Home is. People either love it, or think it's one of their worst songs - not much in between.

Just gotta agree with this guy, although I voted for You Will Be Remembered.

The only songs from TLH I still listen to - from time to time - are Island of Fools and Cradle to the Grave.

I voted for This Side Of Fate. The Other Side barely missed my vote.

NOT a troll. The chord progression in This Side Of Fate (G F# E Eb C# B D) is the creepiest thing ever. I like the intro of The Other Side, but then it gets into pounding on the low Bb string with the occasional E note. Not a fan.

I can rank all the songs from The Last Hero if you want.

1. Show Me A Leader
2. The Writing On The Wall
3. Last Of Our Kind
4. Losing Patience
5. The Last Hero
6. Cradle To The Grave
7. Crows On A Wire
8. Island Of Fools
9. My Champion
10. Twilight
11. Poison In Your Veins
12. You Will Be Remembered
13. The Other Side
14. This Side Of Fate
