I probably have forgotten some. Or is it some you think should not be there?I don't include Run To The Hills cus I don't think it's THAT kinda war song, as it's more the slaughter of indians song.

kevdo242 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 These Colours Don't RunFor The Greater Good Of GodI'm pretty sure The Evil That Men Do isn't a war song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Axl Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 yeah, just added Colours.But Greater Good Of God? Isn't that more of a.... bibel song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdo242 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 yeah, just added Colours.But Greater Good Of God? Isn't that more of a.... bibel song?I see it as a song about how people can use religion as an excuse to go to war. Its a bit of both.

moreblack Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Pretty much 80% of The X-Factor is about war, standouts are The Aftermath and Heart Of Darkness. So is Clansman on Virtual XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And add Invaders, Where Eagles Dare, Two Minutes To Midnight, Run Silent Run Deep, The Aftermath, The Clansman, Montsegur and Brighter Than A Thousand Suns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Clansman on Virtual XI.They're still great songs, bad singer or no bad singer.Absolutely not. I've tried to like those two albums for so long and they just plain suck, and would still suck if Bruce never left. The only good songs between the two are Sign Of The Cross, Lord Of The Flies, Man On The Edge, Futureal and The Clansman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't really like Bruce singing any Blaze songs except The Clansman. They just don't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Axl Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 I like those albums. Lyrically and musically they are really, really good. And I think Bayley is doing a good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martoine Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 to be honest i prefer both X factor and XI to No Prayer For The Dying...they are not bad albums they are just looked on unfavourably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title track is the only one on there that's really great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
