I mean, Ozzy rhymes "masses" with "masses" in War Pigs, but that is still a great song.darth_vedder wrote:Yep. I mean sometimes, you just gotta put Ed lyrics to the side and enjoy the ride.

I actually love that rhyme, because he uses two different meanings of "masses." Awesome.E.H.

Re: Song of the Moment: Ghost
Im not a big fan of that line in War Pigs its true, but the rest of the lyrics make up for it. I would have loved to hear classic Eddie sing this song. Stone or Mike...not sure who...puts 'quotes' from it into one of their songs (forget which one, alive?), so somebody likes it.

Love You Are. Dammit, this band needs to include way more Matt songs on their albums.E.H. Ruddock wrote:We are the same, you and I. Get Right, Cropduster, Ghost, and You Are are my top Riot Act songs. But I don't really hate any of that album.wease wrote:Ghost is 3rd on Riot Act behind Cropduster and Get Right. And right above Help, Help.

Wrong. The flow of Riot Act 1-6 is perfect.
And this song fuzzes me up nicely. It's grown from an album fav to a catalogue fav.

Ghost is a top 5 song for me, Ive always loved the Cropduster > Ghost combo which was always called filler etc..

This song has grown on me a lot over the years. It was one of my low points on Riot Act for a long time, but I really dig it now.

Yeah, I think that one day that part finally clicked with me in a new way, and then the rest of the song opened up, too. Just took a while.tragabigzanda wrote:That bridge solo is of my favorite solos in the catalog. Feels so off the cuff and just rips.

Bring it on, cause I'm no victim
