  this time I was talking about this   

not this     

anyway...... a pair of examples of legends (*) and their more of less predictability......

EUROPE and "the final countdown" - at that time they made a huge boom because of this (awesome) album, and it was pretty easy to forsee that, even nowadays, they are still remembered for that keys intro and, like it or not, they still are a symbol of the 80s   just now they are touring the world, after 30 years, to celebrate this album......

METALLICA and the "black album" - at that time, they were a pretty well known and worshipped band, but mostly in the metal circles...... with the "black album", the incredible happened...... I mean, to me is surely a great masterpiece, without any doubt, but after a poker of albums like "kill...", "ride...", "master..." and "justice...", an album in the style like the "black album" was impossible to forsee and, to me, is still difficult to understand how could it have had such worldwide success, even out of the METAL circles...... a band with he word "METAL" in its name    incredible...... maybe just because it was so surprising, as well as good...... someone calls it "mainstream"...... melodic, ok, but still fucking HEAVY...... but maybe they don't know what does "main" mean...... and maybe even "stream" 

even now, after 25 / 30 years, we are still here talking about these albums...... well...... what I can't see NOW is something destined to stay as long as these two EUROPE or METALLICA albums...... why ?? because we've already forgotten things from the last 10... 5... fuck... we've already forgotten things from THE LAST PASSED YEAR !!! FUCK !!! and not because it was not good !! because it was not so good or so surprising to be remembered, and after it, a lot of new things have come and forgotten and again and again......

(*) with "legend" I mean (between other things) something known also by my grandma......
