Rhyming "fire" with "burning higher"
Okay I'm sure there's lots more, but I've got stuff to do |

Let me guess....you dug out your copy of Yngwie's "Trilogy" album for a listen, then followed it up with Ark's "Burn The Sun". [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
I thoroughly agree with you, that rhyme should be made illegal in all HR/HM songs. |

Heh...actually, it was one of the songs on Knuckletracks 51, but yes, those were the songs that came to mind that reminded me how much this needs to stop. |

I thought you were referring to Dio's "Born on the Sun", since its also contains "fire" and "burning higher".
Paul- If rhyming is made illegal, Malmsteen will have to throw away all his rhyming dictionaries...oh wait, it's a great idea, finally Malmsteen will just shut up and let someone else right the songs or only release instrumental albums. |

I think Dio, and golly I just love him for it, is the most mind numbingly cliche lyricist in metal history. Anyone else would come off as an a$$ but Dio somehow makes it work. Take a couple of mystical terms, some events occuring in the night, thown in a sword or something, and bingo...instant Dio classic. |

How about this one:
When a band releases a new album, they always seem to say in interviews that they weren't really happy with the previously released album they did.
I always hated to read that. It's like a slap in the face to those who thought that other album was fantastic.
That cliche needs to be put to rest. |

Typical Dio song: "Holy Rock N Roll Rainbow Children of the Night".
He REALLY needs to stop using ALL of those terms in his songs.... |

Overkill uses that Higher/fire rhyme in Feel the Fire.
Tageryche, that's true and it's definitely annoying. I also tire of bands saying their new album is the best one yet. Just say you think it's a good album and worth purchasing and describe its good qualities. Saying every album is better than the last makes you sound stupid most of the time. |
