The Forgotten █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Tales falls into the latter camp, as it's mostly a █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ collection of cover songs and alternate versions of █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ previously released tracks. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ While a few of these tracks are actual gems, I'm going █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ to argue here that most of this release is poppycock; █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ you could skip it entirely and be none the worse for █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ wear. First, Blind Guardian are huge fans of classic █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ rock, as well as the obvious hard rock influences of █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ the 70s that partially inspired their sound. When it █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ comes to their covers of "Mr. Sandman" (The █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Chordettes), "Surfin' USA" (The Beach Boys), and █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ "Barbara Ann/Long Tall Sally (again the Beach Boys), I █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ could really live without. It's not that Blind Guardian █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ sound horrible or awkward performing them, they █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ function as silly curiosities for a single listen, and █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ then become too corny beyond that. You're not going to █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ find some sod queueing up "Mr. Sandman" on his iPoD: █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ "Guys, you've got to hear this shit, it's an amazing █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ and totally unique spin on an old classic!" And if you █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ do know that guy, please end his suffering and do the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ world a favor. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Far better are the covers which seem to make a lot more █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ sense. "The Wizard" works because Uriah Heep is a █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ kickass band and undoubtedly a huge influence on the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Germans. Queen's "Spread Your Wings" fits the band █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ quite well, and this is one of the better covers you █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ will find of those gathered here. But the real surprise █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ is the cover of Mike Oldfield's "To France", given the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ full lavish Blind Guardian treatment with powerful █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ chords, leads and excellent Hansi vocals. This one was █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ good enough to include with an album (as opposed to █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ "Barbara Ann"). In addition, if you plan on purchasing █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ this compilation, grab the 2007 remaster/re-release █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ because it includes their covers of Judas Priest's █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ "Beyond the Realms of Death" and Dio's "Don't Talk to █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Strangers", the latter of which I enjoy more than the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ original. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Also in this collection are a series of alternate █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ versions/takes on some of Blind Guardian's popular █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ tracks. "Bright Eyes" and "Mordred's Song" are given █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ acoustic treatments, and while they pale in comparison █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ to their heavier counterparts, they're decent to play █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ for the girlfriend, who is going to think you're a dork █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ either way for listening to this band unless she's █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ really cool to begin with. "A Past and Future Secret" █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ doesn't really belong here, you've already heard the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ track in all its glory on Imaginations from the Other █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Side which dropped a week before this. The orchestral █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ takes on "Lord of the Rings" and "Black Chamber" are █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ quite good, and the closing orchestral/instrumental █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ version of "Theatre of Pain" is hands down the best █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ thing you will hear on The Forgotten Tales. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ So, this release is not quite a fleecing of the band's █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ fans. Although much of the material is reprinted here █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ from the band's singles, you might end up spending less █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ money on The Forgotten Tales than those...though some █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ of them include demo tracks and the like. The only █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ tracks here I found worth my time were the orchestral █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ takes and the covers of Uriah Heep, Queen and Mike █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Oldfield, but I'm not sure that selection qualifies a █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ purchase. If you're the diehard type of power metal █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ n00b whose universe begins and ends with Blind █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Guardian, Dragonforce, Symphony X and HammeFfall, then █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ you probably own this already and do not care. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Otherwise, weigh the value of having the few worthwhile █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ curiosities before plopping your cash down on it. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Highlights: Theatre of Pain (orchestral instrumental), █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Black Chamber (orchestral), Lord of the Rings █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ (orchestral), The Wizard, To France, Spread Your Wings █░▓▒ ░ * ▒░░ ▓█▓ ▓█▓ ░░▒ ▒░░▒ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ▒░░▒ ▒░▒ # # ▒░▒ ▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒ e░██ ██ ██ ██░e ▒░░▒e▒▒▒ ╔═════════════════════╗ ▒▒▒e▒░░▒ #░░ ▒ ║ Greetings To: ║ ▒ ░░# ▓ i░ ╚═════════════════════╝ ░i ▓ █▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█ █ █░ All great CrEwS who believes and fight for a clean ░█ █ ░▓ █ ░ Scene free of P2P.
