The Angel And The Rambler

Well, I recently took Tunny’s advice and downloaded what he said was one of the best Blaze Bayley Iron Maiden songs - “The Angel And The Gambler”. Well, the song, it wasn’t bad. For the first few minutes. Kinda catchy, sort of cool, ya know? Not bad for the start. Even Blaze’s vocals weren’t bad. Sadly, Blaze.. Well.. He’s Blaze.. He fucks shit up.

We get to the chorus:
“Don’t you I’m a savior,
Don’t you think I could save you,
Don’t you think I can save your life”

Not a bad little chorus, not exactly poetry though. Acceptable anyways. Say, how many times does he say it in this little tune anyways? Lets see:
1,2,3,4
Well that’s coo- wait, now he’s whispering it
5,6,7,8
Ok, that’s bearab- wait there’s more
9,10,11,12
Ok, solo, I think it’s safe. That’s a bit overboard to begin with, and then with Blaze’s boring ass vocals. Ok, more verses, maybe they’re do.. Shit, that’s a pre chorus… FUCKING DAMNIT!! Ok, fine then…
13,14,15,16,17
Oh, cool, another solo? No, wait, they’re just doing a few notes to fuck with me, more chorus.
18,19,20,21,22

9:52. The songs is fucking 9:52. Thanks Tunny, you asshole, now It’s playing in my head too, “DON’T YOU THINK I’M A” - JESUS MAKE IT STOP!!

Now my theory is that Tunny based that recommendation off of the 6:04 radio/video edit version. Yes.. that’s right. They cut off 3:48 to make it listenable on the radio. What part do you think they cut? Probably, ohh, hmm, THE CHORUSES?! Jackasses. You too Tunny, burn in hell you bastard.

Yeah, it’s still in my head too, GOD HELP ME! I hope god kills the producer who didn’t suggest to edit that for the album.

The first time I listened to this song I got explosive diarrhea, and I’m not kidding or lying. I seriously did. I think that’s all that needs to be said.

((Fun Fact: Tunny insists to this day he suggested The Clansman. But I'm on to him. I wouldn't have downloaded a Blaze Bayley song without Reccomendation after hating The X Factoe so violently...

The Clansman is a kickass song though))
