TOPIC: Halford (CD) "Made of Metal"
[guidogodoy] Tuesday, October 12, 2010 1:23:51 PM 
While that message was far too long to spend much time reading, one thing did catch my eye: "Matador" does not use "Indian" music as its model. It is clearly al-Andalus / Arabic in nature. Similar, in fact, to the bridge in "Holy Wars - Punishment Due" which is, indeed, about that similar culture.

That little musical reference in "Matador" only caught my eye (ear?) as it is really out of place as the song tells the tale of a bullfighter in MEXICO (said "Matador" crosses the Rio Grande). Spain, sure....a bullfight with Moorish influence would make some sense. Not in México, however. To say that it is Indian is right out. They wouldn't exactly be ones to hold or even attend a bullfight now, would they?
