| Iron Maiden - The Clansman.mp3
Actually AS IT TURNS OUT this is a song based in medieval Scotland. I know that because on the Iron Maiden Rock in Rio DVD/album Bruce says that, just in case you might get the feeling from the lyrics that it's about the KKK. So it is like a song about Braveheart. My favorite Iron Maiden song is the one that's an overlong history lesson oh wait that's all of them psh. There are two versions of this song though. There is the original album version from the very misguided singular album where their lead singer was some FAGGOT named Blayze Baylee (or some gay shit like that). And he fuckin SUCKED. I just downloaded the song, and he is not even a good singer. Even Bruce DICKinson in his now eldery phase is a better singer. What the FUCK. Blayuz just sounds like he is talking like duh duh duh bluh and he is not trying to do that thing where a guy in a band has a microphone and he makes sounds into it OH YEAH SINGING, IT'S CALLED SINGING So, the other version, the one I consider the real Iron Maiden version, is I guess just about any live version with Bruce (who was their lead singer for most of the band's existence), and may have been the Bruce Dickinson that Christopher Walken was playing in the one Blue Oyster Cult SNL skit. I dunno, if that is true I guess it doesn't matter but I would still have to accuse the SNL writers of probably not even knowing who Bruce Dickinson is and calling them fags and probably going psh. So anyway in the Rock in Rio version, which rocks, Bruce explains that the song is about Scotland way back then, and his pre song banter is along the lines of "this is a song about freedom, which should be something familiar to you all.......... but it sometimes is nowt" which is usual rock or metal banter about something that might have a meaning, but Bruce sounds more like "I'm really just trying to explain that this isn't about the fuckin KKK yanno FUCKIN SCREAM IT BRAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIL" and such. It's sort of like a Scottish version of "Run to the Hills" which was about the indian uh uh native American native indigenous peoples. Anyway the live version shreds, the Blayze Baylee version is fuckin lame. He named himself Blayze Bayley just to get kicked out of Iron Maiden after one shitty album. I remember when I first heard shit like PAOURSLAVE and Octothorpe of the Beast I thought Bruce's vocals were kind of goofy because this was old metal and he sang with a goofy kind of opera inflection and shit, but eventually they do three fuckin guitar solos at the same time and it fuckin rocks. Blyzyz's vocals by comparison are actually goofy in a way where you don't get used to it or learn to accept it, he is just a mumblin stutterin fuck, and in a weird way he sounds like he's forgetting a bunch of the lyrics or getting them wrong, like he stops to think for a split second before just repeating the previous line. This "original" version is more like a shitty cover version of a good song by a band you wouldn't listen to because they suck. I think Jso compared him to a weatherman, vocally, and that's sort of how he sounds. If the Bayley's ancestors heard this they'd turn in their graves, they should all be ashamed. FUTUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL |
