The Judas Priest one is heavily connected with the BBC documentary in my mind. It was perfect for that. Timing wise it would be a bit of a hard one to start, and as alluded to above, we don’t generally seem to do slower songs these days. Even GCB has sped up a lot. The “ooh” gets earlier every year!
I miss the slower ones; I can’t help falling in love with you, we are bladesmen etc. I know they may occasionally come out, but they used to be huge epic anthems.
I’m interested in the post above about the “originality” of our recent songs. Am I wrong, but aren’t most of the recent songs taken from elsewhere? Right now off the top of my head, the Dowell one was great and original as far as I’m aware, and I loved the ridiculous “Lundstram/Tequila” one from one of the recent Shoreham View vlogs. I don’t really mind, though, and I agree we have a great variety of songs. It must be so depressing to support a “come on you _______s” team.
