Strange you say that when art of life has been sometimes called Japan's stairway to heaven, which also imo works better as "a long song that consists of many parts which would work as short songs. " compared to stairway then rose of pain does.
I NEVER want ot hear some short versions of that song! I actually need the full 30 minutes there to come down from that trip again... really it wouldn't be 'satisfying' to me to listen to short versions... >.>
You misunderstood my post, I wasn't saying Art of life would work better as a shorter song, or that art of life should be several short songs. I'd HATE that, 30 minutes only all the way.
I said that most people say art of life is Japan's stairway to heaven, not rose of pain, and one of the reasons its thought of as japan's stairway to heaven is because of the reasons you stated "I mean they don't sound alike at all but the structure is quite similar I think, it's a long song that consists of many parts which would work as short songs."
I'm saying people think what you think, but with art of life instead, and I just said it was odd you thought of rose of pain instead of art of life like other people. While there could be some brilliant short songs made out of art of life, or art of life would be good as a short song, I'd never want that, ever.
