Sometimes I'll hear this song on the classic rock station.
The vocalist sounds like the one in Jethro Tull and it's about war but it's NOT WAR PIGS.

Can you recall any of the lyrics?

And Tull doing a cover of War Pigs would be... interesting... [Smile]

Civil War by Guns N' Roses? That gets pretty good rotation on classic rock stations.

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

Maybe, but it's a smoother vocalist... Sort of classical sounding.
I can't remember the lyrics right now though. Just that it's about war.

I guess it isn't by Dir en Grey (or however you spell that)?

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Earl Grey.

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

Dude. You spelled that right... cool...

I didn't find the song I was listening to, but Sweet Dream is an awesome song.

Well, gee, THAT narrows it down... [Wink]

Gordon Lightfoot's The Patriot's Dream could fit the description as well [Big Grin]
