Fair use rationale for Image:Metropolispt2.jpg

Image:Metropolispt2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"..as many as 100 time signature changes"

As I first read it as "as many as 100 different time signatures" (implying that [as many as] 100 time signatures are used), I feel that this sentence seems poorly worded, and doesn't really specify how progressive the song is; I could make a song that alternates between 5/4 and 4/4 fifty times and say it has "100 time signature changes". Could someone find exactly which time signatures this song uses?

Well now the statement is 123 time signature changes. This is really awkward and there are no citations either. As far as the used time signatures go, a perfect seeming Guitar Pro tab from ultimate-guitar.com has many weird time signatures such as 11/4, 17/16, 7/4, 7/16,etc. But calculating no. of time signature changes is a useless remark, really. Also, the lack of citations is a major issue. I believe there should be a template to that effect inserted into the article.Leif edling (talk) 10:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

6 min 13 sec = 373 sec. With 123 different time signatures it makes a change every 3 sec approximatively ! It seems a lot ! Or did I miss something ? In any case, such a great song it is. Zertrin ^(blabla) 18:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC) (Sorry for my english)[reply]

If you're interested in checking it (I haven't) or providing a citation, here's Mike Portnoy with the actual chart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwkcRTNMsWs 213.213.216.132 (talk) 22:56, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
