Flight 666 to HEL (yes it is a real flight)

[Cal Goat]

It is all about Bruce Springsteen, The Who, The Beetles, Journey, Rush,

Mmmmhhhhmmm, yes, fine...

The Killers, Taylor Swift, One Direction, and Carrie Underwood.

WHAT THE... No, it's okay. You just have no credibility when it comes to music criticism anymore. Apparently you're just a sucker for pop music.

Metal is a complex genre that often suffers under the stigma of the glam bands like Poison, Ratt, and yes, I'm sorry to say, but those posers in Motley Crue.

Now, Iron Maiden might come off as kitschy on the surface, but they are widely regarded as one of the greatest metal bands because of their musical talent and their (often) lyrical depth. Also, Dickinson has some impressive pipes. <--- not a gay joke.

Ozzy, on the other hand, was part of a great pioneering metal effort with Black Sabbath but his solo career in the 80s didn't really produce anything of substance... just like all of those pop bands you mentioned.

I love me a long metal song about an old story from the sea.

As well as a song about the Battle of Britain!

Back when I played (my word I sound old) it was all about Ozzie and Bruce.

And you don't know who Iron Maiden is..... SMH.

Why is it "Rime" instead of "Rhyme"?

Why is it "Rime" instead of "Rhyme"?

It doesnt explain why it is rime, but the song is based on a poem of the same name.
