I've been listneing to the Black Sabbath discography, an Ozzy Osbourne (Randy Rhoads Tribute) tape, and a "the best of" Iron Maiden cd for the last like.. year. Or six months perhaps. At any rate I thouhgt I'd share with you my story of finding some more (this is shallow, be warned) music, while I'm procrastinating going to sleep anyway.
I was thinking one day while surfingt he web mostly chatting to random people across the worl taht I met on an online chat room (thouhgh in this case we were now tlaking on msn) and what I thought was how I had looked up Black Sabbath (to a great extent) and Ozzy Osbourne on wikipedia both, btu had not Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden is also the childhood idol listening of my current english teacher (though we knew eachother through other areas of the school, namely a "Magic: The Gathering" playing club he runs), so perhaps I would be obligated to check it otu to further extent to sympathise with him, but as of yet I seem to have been able to avoid it. The day before yesterday however (assuming despite in factually being 1 am it is the last day now) I looked it up on wikipedia. As usual when looking up a wikipedia page on a band I'm engaged in I got engaged in it. Something that fascinated me particularly is that Iron Maiden has been presisng modern albums with modern music. These guys are 55 and composing, performing, recording. And it's good, I youtubed "Different World" and later downloaded it, and I like it. Wikipedia says that Iron Maiden got the album taht song's on a review in The Rolling Stone which said that Iron Maiden where writing coherent language but the band was aging. And yes, that's obviously true in the lattor case. And the relevant lyrics are a good thing to note also. I've found modern music to assume a modern american affected lifestyle (ie fratboy) which I have trouble liking at all since I can't sympathise only make outside observations, which isn't what music is about, as I think anyway. I contemplated the title of "Different World" with the coming of 2012 and all thats fed up to be witht he mayan calandor ending and christians saying the world will end, and Channallers saying half (a devided proportion, more likely more) the poulation will go mad, while the other shall live on enlightened thinking in tune to a new light, as an old one extinguishes. By the way, is this the transfer into the Aquarian age, and when Jesus said he would be with us till the end of the Aon? I haven't really been paying attention. Anyway the song may be subject to these influences indirectly and I think it does seem to be, but the lyrics quote nothing up front like that. In fact how it goes is "Tell me what you can see" then tell me what you can hear (not quoted cuz im not sure its exact i was listneing to the course while i typed it and was too slow to keep up), everyone has a different way to view the world. which works. the next thingl the life as a result of the death, its the different world and people are changing to it etc. it is the world seen differently. Bruce Dickinson's Voice is pretty hoarse. but I give him for credit for being as he is as fifty-something around five. A lack of classic galloping Bass and just general norms of Iron Maiden. In other words it's modern. but that's what it (that song anyway, indeed thats the only song i listened to)'s about.

The other, also from Iron Maiden, I was inspired to listen to while reading about their drummer joining. The reason I was interested was he plays with one drum pedal, thinking it to be undrummerlike to use a double pedal. And despite not beinga professional or seasoned or drummer at all, I think I agree. It's just too fake, though most like for something thats just fake things I'm used to anyway. yup.
Anyway the song is Where Eagles Dare, and I think I may have found a sogn I will be able to play from front to back on guitar. the fret work is simple (and thers no complicated finger picking either), it's just played pretty fast. I looked up a tab on the net and found I could play it all already just not all together and in tempo, but I figure I'll be able to if I work at it, which I have been since I found it. The song starts with a short "drum solo" to represent the album as being the debut for the new drummer (with stressed shortness as what makes drum solo a questionable noun to represent it). then the guitar work is generally repeteive with following bass, but as usual it isn't total crap, it changes into different riffs etc, just maintaining a feeling as it should.

So yes that's it. TWO songs is my new set.

I am now compelled to go to university after reading the wikipedia page on Bruce Dickinson and how he came to fame. he went to university to avoid his paretns wanting to put in the army (seems like a bloody stupid thing to want for your child, but apparently), and when he was there he helped bands with setting up performance stuff and stuff. And then, upon finding an audition ad for a band's singer, he applied purely the page says out of desire to see the inside of the studio, because he had never been in one. so basically his plan was to suck but have gotton somthing out of it, and wasted their time. he screamed intot he mic a few times, and the guys said that they liked him and accepted him into hteir band, remarking he sounded like Arthur Brown, someone of whom I am unfamiliar. Apparently he had no singing experience whatsoever. And eventually he quit the ban as they were just living for sex and drugs and money, a lifestyle he wasn't into, and applied to join Iron Maiden to replace some rather singer they had before him who I do not know who is, though perhaps its steve harris the bassist as he founded the band, composed most music and lyrics, and does back up lyrics now. INcidentally, whoever it was, it is he who sings on the second song I mentioned, as it is before Dickinson joined the band. Anyway now I guess I'm inspired to sing :P AS I've always wanted to but let society stick unacceptnace in front of that door. I figure if I move out of the familiar personable environment, I'll be able to keep myself out of these personality lock conformances that I've been prone to around people who I care what they think about me, while in the unfamiliar atmospheare of many, i can express myself more clearly as consequences of unacceptance are much less.

So there is my unspell checked and knwon to be spelled wrong on many occasions thingy describing where my mind has been this weekend or whenever, evidently still. I did it purely from memory.

Audios
