Iron Chic - "Rime of the Good Times"

[@waxaudio]

This is the best mashup I’ve heard in a long time.

[@ns6438]

Hopefully we'll keep on seeing great stuff from you as well. You and Bill McClintock both make great mashups.

[@BillMcClintockMashups]

@Wax Audio thank you. You’ve been a big influence on me. You were a pioneer in the mashup world and when anyone asks who I think is the greatest of all time I always say “Wax Audio.” Seriously.

[@waxaudio]

@@BillMcClintockMashups Thanks man! That's really nice of you to say. I love your mashups too, they have the right mix of irreverence, musicality and technical prowess. More power to you.

I saw it on Twitter, he called Bill a genius. Also, he hashtagged Bill, and then the guitar player from Iron Maiden also commented because Nile Rodgers tagged him. Bill has hit the big time.

The attention to detail is exceptional: matching the keys, carefully editing to match tempo changes... you, sir, are an artist of extraordinary talent!! This is very, very enjoyable, not just a novelty.

[@BillPeschel]

Chic's verse, "A rumor has it that it's getting late / Time marches on, just can't wait / The clock keeps turnin', why hesitate / You silly fool, you can't change your fate" fits amazingly well into heavy metal's philosophy.

[@backslash68]

..... Hmm. Goes exactly against the story of the mariner, who's own actions cursed, then blessed himself.

[@jakewhite3132]

Rock Sugar might be able to.

[@becomingsentient1208]

Rock Sugar definitely could, with Jess on all of the vocals by himself.

[@RustyKnorr]

The first time I saw one of his videos, and subsequently binged all of them I said, “I want to put together a band to do every one of these!” It would literally be the funnest band of all time! 🤣

​@@rikk319 Those numbers are GREATLY inflated. I've seen reports from MANY different sources including EMT's, nurses and customers, that people who have died from gun shots, car accidents and even heart attacks are put down on a death report as COVID deaths. The Gov is paying hospitals money for every admission and even more for every ventilated person, therefore it is an easy conclusion they are being paid for each 'death' they register or there are other incentives because I don't see why a Dr. would put down 'Covid' when a person has an obvious hole in the head or chest from a gun shot. The true numbers are around 20% of any reported figures i.e. 80K not 400K.

[@ObscureStuff420]

Maybe because their vocals are in lower octaves - lower notes tend to have a darker feel. And just about anyone's singing is going to be in a lower register than Bruce's high notes. Also their lyrics are sung slower than Bruce's, and slower music also tends to sound darker than faster music.
