I like Metalingus, it's not my favorite, though.
Live, it's brilliant. I'll give it that, but you can't deny it's overrated.

Lol Harry just use the quote button. :P

And as I say that Thrav jumps in lol.

And I don't think Metalingus is overrated. It's popular because it's good. They excel at anthemic rock.

It's not the best and gets way more attention than Blackbird and Words.
God I love Words....

It's definitely up there with Blackbird, it fulfils a completely different purpose though. Never cared overly for Words though, it was missing a mean solo.

You're going to compare a 4 minute rock anthem to those songs? They're not exactly similar. No one is gonna get pumped up at a sporting event listening to Words or Blackbird.

And I agree with Harry, it's pretty close to being their best song imo even though I'd put a couple others ahead of it.

And I'll be honest, the first time I heard Words I was so disappointed with the lack of a solo.

I'm not having another music debate today.
The Axl vs Myles debate I had earlier with Macca is still bugging me lol

Coming Home, because of a killer verse riff and bridge part. And yeah, Metalingus is overrated.

Never really been a fan of Metalingus... It's probably my most-skipped song on ODR. I'll go with Coming Home, because I like to pretend I can make those cool sounds in the intro with my face.

These are 3 of my absolute favorite songs they've ever done... sucks that they have to be up against each other like this. Somethin about Track 5...

For emotional reasons, I went with Still Remains. First time I really listened to the lyrics, I just thought.. holy poop, that's the story of the last 5 years of my life. ForeverAlone.jpg

i think metalingus is one of ab's most important songs. not for me personally, but a good percentage of ab fans are wwe fans, and probably were introduced to the band by edge. they got a lot of recognition at the beginning thanks to that. i never liked wrestling, but always appreciated what edge meant to alter bridge

but in saying all that about metalingus............for baseball this year my walk out song was coming home, so im torn

There's more of Thrav's sig on this forum that there are words. Dude, log off once in a while.

Knew Metalingus would win this one, it's the reason 50% of AB fans are AB fans lol

We should have a poll, see how many people are more sick of you or me.

Haha! So I'm not the only one who does that?

Meanwhile, can I start voting for Broken Wings yet?
Another photobucket casualty... :(

There's a debate here? I picked Metalingus.

I also came in just to look at DonHarry's signature. Pretty!

I'm surprised it's only winning by 5. Thought it would be ahead by like... 15 lol
