The Twelve Song Album Game

[MirrorMask]

1. Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man (extra vocals in the chorus, the version I heard first and prefer to the album one. The album chorus sounds so bare)
2. Megadeth - Et Tout Le Monde (the newer version has Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil singing some of the song)
3. Tim Bowness - The Warm-Up Man Forever (band version) (bonus disc version with an extra guitar part, very U2-ish and very cool).
4. Rainbow-Still I'm Sad (Instrumental on Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, with lyrics on On Stage)
5. Dream Theater - To Live Forever
6. Dredg - The Ornament (it's appeared on various releases in various forms; waterbourne soundtrack, final track on CWA, live version, Chuckles release)
7. Lady Gaga - Shallow (there's both a solo version and the duet version with Bradley Cooper)

These are more of what I was thinking of.

But, I'll accept the others because they include different vocalists.

Also...Thank you Reaper for the Dredg song. Had a listen and loved it.


And Ozzy, I'm the same way with Firefly. I also consider Falling an intro to Falling Further.

Somehow I’ve never heard the full band version of Someone Else.

[HOF]

Ok, that was pretty awesome. Is that an Empire leftover or just something they recorded and expanded for the best of disc? Doesn’t sound like the production on Promised Land.

It's a great song but I think it's final form on Chuckles was the worst iteration of the song :/

I heard this https://youtu.be/Lersmyz45sI it might be someone's mix they did themselves, I enjoyed it. Then I heard the Chuckles version and agree, they cut the good stuff and lost the soul.

Samsara would know more, but IIRC it was recorded for PL and the full band version was supposed to be the one that appeared on the album.  But somehow, someone was playing a take with only vocals and it was decided that version had that certain something and the rest is history.   (probably just Geoff thinking his voice by itself was better than having the band back him up...but what do I know)
