With stuff like the Trooper beer and a mobile phone game it's clear that Maiden's image isn't this sacred thing that will be tainted by more merchandise. I get that this is unprecedented and big news, but personally I'm completely fine with it. Let the boys cash in and secure the financial...

And we're not alone with our mindset either. Saying "others agree!" is not an argument, because we can just say the same. It's a completely meaningless phrase. (In case it's not clear, I'm pro-Simon and find many of the criticisms against him to be quite silly, just as this line of argument :D )

Simon is not the one who dictates the tempos. They have deliberately slowed down some of the songs. FOTD was already much slower when Nicko was still in the band, compared to the 90s or 2000s versions.

Is there any chance that his might result in them releasing live shows from the vault? Stuff like reunion 99 or AMOLAD. Or is this disconnected from that and has nothing to do with the vault?

One of the reasons I enjoy Senjutsu as an album so much. There's still some straining here and there (ironically a lot of it on The Writing On The Wall, which he co-wrote) but there's a lot of prominent middle register on multiple songs. There's a bit of a bluesy touch on this interpretation of...

The one time they announce well in advance that they'll record and release a new live album, everything seems to be going wrong. This project is cursed. Scrap it and release one for TFP instead :D (kidding, release both setlists as a best-of deal, Flight 666 style)

I respect your opinion but I hate you and we are now mortal enemies for life :D That's probably a bit of a special case, since it was recorded and released on the Metal for Muthas compilation.

Argh, phrasing lol I meant that he took the best (in his opinion) material from 75-80 for the debut, and the rest was dumped onto Killers.

Unpopular opinion: Almost the entirety of Killers would count as a filler for me. Which makes kinda sense, since for the first two albums Steve chose most of what he considered to be their best material, leaving Fillers with some literal leftovers. Doesn't help that many songs are blatantly...

Dude, the guy made a throwaway comment, he didn't craft a PR statement. No need to be so extremely pedantic about something that definitely doesn't warrant it lol

Lindsey Graham died rather suddenly. This plus whatever's happening with Mitch McConnell, well it seems evil does indeed not live forever.

I'd give all of your respective left balls to make that happen. Okay, mine could go as well if absolutely necessary, I suppose.

What a coward :D

It probably helped that I grew up in Dortmund and know a couple of people who are the exact kind described in the song! I'm also a big fan of how acoustic guitars are utilized throughout the album, WW being one of the more prominent examples.
