Angel and the Gambler

[BrightEyes]

Dont you think im a saviour
Dont you think I could save ya
Done you think I can save your life?


Dont get me wrong.... I like this song.
But at 9:53..... This song would have been the best song from the album if it had been 5:53

The chorus is good, but it sucks because it just sucks at the length....

Put the intro the solo and the ending chorus and it would have been one of maidens classics....

I dunno, what do you guys think?


Listen to the song then filter out the crap.....it could easily be a Maiden staple.

 

[Spiff]

Listen to the radio edit. Much better.

Here it is, accompanied by the BEST VIDEO EVER.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Horrid video, good edit. Not sure it could have ever been a Maiden classic, but shorter certainly makes it better.

 

[Spiff]

I love the geetar solo (haven't heard the original in a few years, but there are two solos, yes, with one cut out here?). One of my favourites.

 

[Bucko]

its a crap song IMO

 

[Mark]

An example of what happens when Steve doesn't have anyone saying no to him

 

[Southy]

Reading Blaze's book at the moment, in the small bit on the album, he said that it was all rushed and pretty well unrehearsed when they did the whole album, says alot about it really

 

[TinMan666]

album version ftw, for my money.

 

[Goreripper]

Maiden's nadir.

 

[Spiff]

No, that's The Apparition.

 

[FerretallicA]

The only really bad thing they ever did in the Blaze era, and only because of the length.
Maybe they had targets to meet and didn't want to write a whole new filler track?

 

[Goreripper]

They just got lazy.

 

[TinMan666]

they had more songs... they saved a lot of 'em for the next album tho for some reason.

 

[Southy]

cause they had a plan??

 

[TinMan666]

quite possibly!

 

[FerretallicA]

#1- Collect underpants
#2- Angel and the Gambler
#3- Profit

Somehow it doesn't quite fit

 

[Winmar]
