That YouTube guy was rather harsh on Nikko. I know there are fans who prefer Clive, but I’ve never heard anyone slam Nikko like that. Disagree with a lot of his opinions, especially about reunion-era Maiden mostly sucking. I personally love modern over-the-top proggy Maiden. It would be sad if...

Check this out - Totally amazing!

TRATB live was the highlight of the BoS tour for me. I wish the 7-minute instrumental section was 20 minutes! It was pure bliss.

Okay. But my point stands that that approach only works if government is accountable and trustworthy. Do you trust the Canadian government? Do they really represent your best interests? That's for you to decide. It's in the American DNA to distrust government, which is why we cling to our...

Probably a conservative. Unchecked corporate power is as dangerous as unchecked government power. But for your idea to work, you need a government that is trustworthy and accountable. Otherwise what happens is that government, while pretending to "regulate" big business, just becomes a...

Call it nationalist vs. globalist, or whatever you want. The terminology may change, but the divide is real between those who desire greater individual freedom and those who desire greater centralized control over their and others’ lives. My point was that Bruce seems to have a foot on each...

Don't worry, liberals. You still have a claim on Bruce. Here he is going off on an anti-gun rant at a concert in the US:

You sure about that? Be careful calling other people idiots.

THESEVENTHMARINER - I'm referring to the opening bands in the US on the 2 tours. You can figure it out.

Maiden at their best to me is about Truth and and an incredible love energy. I'll never forget going to the Madison Square Garden show in 2016 by myself. The energy was so positive and joyous. The guy next to me, whom I didn't know, on 2 or 3 occasions just turned to me and hugged me out of...

Dance of Death > ... all the other ones are about the same to me. I like the lyrics of Dream of Mirrors. Steve is really onto something with that one. Lots of hidden truths unveiled there. The Talisman is almost great, but it needs to take a breather. It's too intense. It could have used a...

Book of Souls is a great song, but it's a little too "wordy" for me. The long vocal part that ends in "destruction begins..." is a bit tedious. But after that from the point where the Losfer Words-y riff kicks in, the song is A+++ guitargasm. Plus the story told by the lyrics of Book of Souls...

Dance of Death is a top 5 Maiden song to me. It's one that could easily be played every tour, it's so good. Janick's best song by far, in my opinion.

Moving the fuck on, sir! I guess we can go back to setlist speculation, then. I hope they play Alexander the Great!

Yeah, I know. I accept being mocked for my viewpoint on this issue. But it makes me uncomfortable. But I'll still go. Will probably close my eyes during Iron Maiden..
