Metallica is great, they totally did justice to Blue Oyster Cult when they covered it. One great band covering another great band makes for some awesome music!
we played this at my deceased boyfriend's funeral, he was an avid Metallica fan and i know he was proud but it still brings tears to my eyes almost a yr. ago being gone... we love and miss you Troy.......
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it! I was listening to Black Veil Brides, System of a Down, Eyes Set to Kill, etc. and then my dad said look up Astronomy by Metallica (cuz he knows I like Metallica as well as he does) and I looked it up and I fell in love with it.
@elvishodzic0 In "Astronomy", the character of Imaginos comes to realize his heritage and his role as the altered human. References are made to celestial objects throughout the song-- "The light that never warms" being the moon, "The Queenly flux" the constellation Cassiopeia, "My dog, fixed and consequent" being Sirius, the dog star. The "Four Winds Bar" may be a reference to the Tropic of Cancer. All in all, it has Imaginos explaining his position as part of Les Invisibles.
@elvishodzic0 The song's lyrics are selected verses from a poem by Sandy Pearlman, the band's producer and mastermind behind their image, called "The Soft Doctrines of Immaginos". In the poem, which was later released under the BÖC moniker as "Imaginos", aliens known as Les Invisibles guide an altered human named Imaginos, also called Desdinova, through history, playing key roles that eventually lead to the outbreak of World War I.
@ShanePlew I have to agree with you on this one. I thought the original was pretty good, then along came this one. Now, I listen to this one more than I do the original.
@awesomepossum2244 music is a what a person thinks of it. if he likes Metallica best then he does i like dream theater best so does that make me wrong also?
@MrFredric666 i know, i gave my opinion, i wasnt hostile agianst him, so you can go take your wisdom and get lost, and yes it makes you wrong for liking dream theater
2.21 lyrics like a cross.........
