59. Original Sin
 

This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic.
Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!!

Original Sin (9)

I think this is the best rock in the album. I don't understand why have never been Number One! Why hasn't it video? It's very good but... I think Pandora's version is better (I know you will throw stone to me).
The Pandora's version is a special mood, a progressive pop-rock song. Meat's version is more powerfully but its world of music is simpler.
Well, it's good!

My score: 9



Average: 9.00 (162/18 )

Amazing music en lyrics. More powerfull than Pandora's Box version, also the music. It's just the right version for this song.

My score: 8/9

The lyrics are fantaaaaaaaastic. Wonderful!! The chorus sounds great! The piano is dark (er than sin). I like more Pandora's version, maybe because they were first and i get used to it. Somehow Meat's voice does not fit in the song. But it is still good. Except the "boing"in the end it just makes me laugh a little bit. The end of Pandora's with the backing vocals is superb.

Meats version is an 8.

INdeed a great song. Nice lyrics and great music. Well, you all have said it, and i have nothing to add.

8/10

A mysterious and a bit dark sounding song. I love it! Cool Jim-song. It's a great one! One of the greatest Meat ever did.

10/10

:twisted: I love the strained sound of the guitars in the intro.
Meat's voice sounds very dark in the opening few lines,until the song explodes.
The lyrics are great,very steinmanesque.This album started out to be Bat III,and I think this would have sat on that album very well.
The only thing missing is the darker than sin speech.That would have put the cherry on the cake 8) .
It's a shame that Original Sin was never released as a single.Meat does great rock songs as well as great ballards and I would like to see them pushed more.Life Is A Lemon got to the stage of having a promo made,but I don't know why it was never released 8O .
9/10 Restless.

Did you know that Taylor Dayne recorded a version of Original Sin with different lyrics for the soundtack of the film The Shadow.

In Dance Of The Vampires Jim also used some different lyrics.

The BEST version of ORIGINAL SIN is:

TANZSAAL on the German Tanz der Vampire CD.
It is the most powerful, energetic SOUND I've ever heard.
Steve Barton sings it, with accompaniment from the Vampire Chorus.
TANZSAAL is the scene where Von Krolock (Barton) bites Sarah's throat
And inducts her into vampirehood. The chorus from TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART appears as an interlude.

NOTHING BEATS "TANZSAAL"

Don't think i really need to say what I think about this one :wink:

10/10

great song 10/10

another great song,one of my favourites.
9/10

8 one of my favs

This song is one of my favourites on the WTTN album, ... Original sin, it's so, ... how to explain this, well .... ah forget it, i have to listen to it now, because it always sents shivers down my spine when i hear it.
A wonderful song 12/10
Rushour

Another great song from a great album.

It really captures a sort of teenage rebellion, when you have broken every cliched rule and want to do something really different.

True rock and roll that gets a great sinful:

8/10

A very good tune, good lyrics, good prodction all the way around.
9/10

A brilliant dark song. One of my favourite from WTTN. I think I might prefer the Pandora's Box version though. It's got more to it.

9/10

Great song 9/10 :D

:D 8/10 enough said

9/10 although as Jim expressed,
Dance of the Vampires was maybe a unique version.

This should have been on the "Best Of" album, hands down. Definitely a song I have loved ever since landing my grubby mitts on WTTN.

10/10

My fave on the WTTN album with Left In The Dark.

I love the construction of the song. The way the music brings the lyrics and wraps one word after the other to move into a tornado of drums, guitars, backgroundvocals and most of all Meat's voice!
It almost hurts to listen to it!

9/10

I LOVE this version!

I give it a 9/10 and am soooo grateful for this recording that really helps to purge a certain really baaaaaad experience from last year out of my system..... ;)

Di

Best Song on the album a true masterpice what more is there 2 say

10/10

This is definately one of Jims best songs, although I prefer Taylor Daynes version I think Meat has done it proud. And I agree with Lostsoul, it's the best song on WTTN.

I give the song 9.5/10
Meats version 8.5/10

Pud :twisted:

Ahem... need I say more?

9/10
