So here I am sitting a long way from home inside this tin can they call a submarine tender listening to the old Beast. Well, maybe not old beast, rather new Beast. Here they have a song on the album "A matter of life and death" called Longest Day. It's about the D-Day invasion. That first verse will cause any of you to appreciate the amazing ability of music to evoke emotion and feeling. It begins low and taught with a certain fear to it, then the Air Raid Siren opens up and it's as if the bow ramp just dropped on your landing craft and you're there to fight back the greatest evil, dodging the wall of bullets and fighting to gain every grain of sand you can. God I love music. I give it a hearty recommendation.

Any of you lads have a certain song that you just can't help but get drawn into, one that just resonates with you, evoking vivid images of something epic and dramatic? Something so well written in dynamics and tension that you cannot help but feel it's pull?

I abosolutely can relate to your statement on how a song can....,I have many musical instances ranging from a few notes to a opening acoustic arrangement or a single verse to a acapella rendition or to the most animalistic drum solo,all of these can do to me what a lovers touch sometime cannot and to some it may sound corny or dumb but hopefully oneday music can mean this much to them as it does me.
Long before I started playing music I knew it ment more to me than it did to most of those one around me,I would hear a verse of a song and my eye's would well or my throat would start to close or maybe goosebumps would appear over my whole body,non of my friends were reacting like this how-come?
Then when I started playing drums things began to add up,all my fiends and I would be hanging out drinking beer and playing pool while listening to our favorite tunes I began to notice when a drummer would pull of some incredible lyck or fly around his kit not missing a step or losing the tinyist bit of power throughout the whole fill I would get a physical reaction from it,but again I noticed no-one but me was getting all this from the music.
Not wanting to write a small story here I will not dig any deeper but I am truly blessed that when I hear a tune now it makes me feel the way it did the very first time I heard it and the place I was when I heard it and how I felt at that time along with the friends I was with.
Many of my friends are dead and gone but when I hear songs by their favorite bands they come back to visit,music was HUGE in my life at all times so no matter what fav song or what fav. band I still get the gifts that music gives. :mrgreen:

i became alice cooper-fan 'round '73 when "killer" was published (switzerland was always kinda late in that period...) halo of flies is just an example while i madly love the whole album!!!
and as it was almost everywhere, most of the folks criticized the bands behavior and completely forgot the real important: its music (that's when i first realized to be surrounded by a bunch of cultural ignorants) :roll:

The music in the 70's was very new in alot of ways-- the bands seemed to have control. You can tell because noone copied the other guy trying to make it. All the bands were unique during the seventies. Such a great time to have lived thru. Hasn't been the same since I don't think. Don't get me wrong- I don't live in the 70's - but at the time and during that culture - WOW!!

sometimes i'm metric and other-some paranoid or could be both at once, and when i'm none of it it's because i'm sleeping! :mrgreen:

I got a few from that album, I also like the song Pachendale - listening to the words I wonder why we send our young to slaughter in a war old men started...Pachendale is about the battle of the same name fought by Brits and Canadian for 400 yards of land against the German forces. The most death, fighting for so little.
