    You must be a huge Blind Guardian fan, what with your name and choice of songs, so am I. Blind Guardian, along with Dragonforce are my favourite power metal bands. BG, are simply unreal. Their lyrics and melodies are unmatched.

    You sir, know good music.

    For me? At this moment in time, Avenged Sevenfold's Seize the day. As none of you will know it - probably - the lyrics:
    Oh, don't worry man... I'm not passing for a bad time, we all have bad times, but not, i chose that song because it represents all the power that flows when your wrath explodes by the problems that you may have, like a lion chained for all it's life, finally it breaks the chains an tears all to pieces, is almost something spiritual it has an epic air arround it (and arround the song too). And yes i'm a fan of their songs, but i don't condidere anybody my idol if that's what you think, is just that their songs make me tremble and chill. Anyway i would say that my favourite song is "And then there was silence" but that cannot identify me, so i choose that.

    I don't believe in idol's too, I wasn't suggesting that they were anything of the sort to you, merely that you must like the band.

    My favorite BG song is indeed, And then there was silence, too. Come to think of it, I think it is every BG fans fav. 14 minutes of constant brilliance, it is magnificent.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Hmm. Well I can never figure out what sort of genre the bands I love are. Well Bob Dylan, the Dead, Beatles, Stones, Allman Brothers, the Band, Zeppelin, Clapton, Pink Floyd, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Neil Young and more don't really have a particular genre that represents all of them, perhaps "Classic Rock".

    Not sure what song would really represent me. My friends would do a better job of figuring that out...

    If you should stand then who's to guide you?

    I do in fact the whole album does.

    HAIR

    She asks me why
    I'm just a hairy guy
    I'm hairy noon and night
    Hair that's a fright
    I'm hairy high and low
    Don't ask me why
    Don't know
    It's not for lack of break
    Like the Grateful Dead
    Darling

    Gimme head with hair
    Long beautiful hair
    Shining, gleaming,
    Streaming, flaxen, waxen

    Give me down to there hair
    Shoulder length or longer
    Here baby, there mama
    Everywhere daddy daddy

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    Let it fly in the breeze
    And get caught in the trees
    Give a home to the fleas in my hair
    A home for fleas
    A hive for bees
    A nest for birds
    There ain't no words
    For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
    Of my...

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
    Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
    Oily, greasy, fleecy
    Shining, gleaming, streaming
    Flaxen, waxen
    Knotted, polka-dotted
    Twisted, beaded, braided
    Powdered, flowered, and confettied
    Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

    Oh say can you see
    My eyes if you can
    Then my hair's too short

    Down to here
    Down to there
    Down to where
    It stops by itself

    They'll be ga ga at the go go
    When they see me in my toga
    My toga made of blond
    Brilliantined
    Biblical hair

    My hair like Jesus wore it
    Hallelujah I adore it
    Hallelujah Mary loved her son
    Why don't my mother love me?

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair
    Heres a link to the lyrics to all the songs in this incredible musical. I remeber seeing the original Smothers Brothers production at the Aqaurius theatre in LA in 69-70.

    In fact it defined a whole generation.

    I know that song. It's a bit weird for me, but yeah, that is pretty much right. I do sort of prefer Signs, myself.
