The Beast and the Harlot
This entry was posted on February 9, 2008
I can’t remember the last time I really obsessed over a song. I’ve obsessed over bands and I’ve obsessed over members of bands, but I can’t remember the last time I obsessed over a song.
“The Beast and the Harlot” is a song by a band called Avenged Sevenfold. Those of you who pay close attention to my blog will remember that I saw them live back in January. They played this particular song and it was one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen. Insane in a good way, though. Definitely a good way.
This is a very epic song that starts off big and just gets bigger. It’s… well, it’s pretty much mindblowing. It’s good for any situation where you need loud music, be it de-stressing in your bedroom, trying to make a train journey go by faster, or making driving more interesting. I listen to it on my way to work and back, and try and beat it. The song is about five and a half minutes long, and it takes me about five and a half minutes to get to work.
Those of you not familiar with this awesome track can see the accompanying music video on the band’s youtube channel. For those of you think you know this song from somewhere, it might be from Guitar Hero II. And for those of you who already know (and hopefully love as much as I do) this song, you might like to check out the Sims2 and the Lego-motion interpretations of the music video.
I don’t know any more words for how obsessed I am with this song. Have you ever been so obsessed with a song you could listen to it on repeat all day and not get bored of it?

My iPod woke me up with Somebody To Love, by Queen, last week, and I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since… I must have listened to it at least one hundred times since Tuesday.
Yes. In one point all I listened to was Station to Station by David Bowie, once it was Europe After Rain by John Foxx, recently I have been listening to Rock Rendezvous (which is actually number one in my Last.fm) and Lasse redn by Die Ärzte and Gitarre runter by Bela B. Some songs just are so fabulous that you want to listen to them over and over again… o_o
I can’t remember if I liked or hated this song on Guitar Hero. I’m gonna have to go and play now to find out. :p
That’s what I’m like with dance music. It’s so repetitive and predictable! It’s like a safety blanket :3
I’m addicted to Mark Ronson’s cover album actually. It’s wicked.

It’s the only Guitar Hero song I can play perfectly (with the controller. I can’t play anything with the midget guitar). My friend says it reminds him of me, because it’s kind of dark and rough, but then it gets really light and fun. He also likes to refer to me as a harlot, but *shrug* I don’t know where that comes from.
