He also does a great spitfire impression! :D

Can you finally admit the same, about... hm, let's say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump

Oh, absolutely. Some songs like The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner, Back In The Village or Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger were only played one or two times before being dropped. Other songs were played on one leg of a tour and the dropped. It would also be interesting to look at...

From what we know these are the songs that have never been played live and the resulting percentages of live coverage: Iron Maiden: 100% (played in full) Killers: Prodigal Son 90% (if we exclude Twilight Zone) or 90.9% (if we include it) The Number Of The Beast: Invaders Gangland 75% (if we...

Damn, fair enough lol

Absolutely! I'm always for previously unreleased live songs.

Quite a few things happening at the moment. Mitch McConnell is apparently brain dead but being kept on life support until early August to avoid a special election. Graham Platner finally decided to drop out after raising a million red flags. When you thought you heard everything about the...

The choice of song is still random and arbitrary, the explanation above does not touch upon why that song was used. There are plenty of songs that appeared on specific legs and didn't make the live release of their album tour. TOTC is not unique in that regard. The subject matter isn't touched...

I've looked at it before, but that's a common statistic for most albums. FOTD is a bit of an outlier with only 5 songs being played live. TFF is rather low with only 50% being played live. The rest is closer to 70-80% of an album played live. For the 8 song albums that had 7 songs played live...

This was a perfect chance to release some gems from the vault. There are so many tours that didn't have official live releases. They could've picked some highlights. But no, instead we get the most random release with Tears of a Clown.

Opinions and all, but given how borderline nonsensical some of Steve's lyrics on Senjutsu were I found "very creative with the lyrics" kinda funny. The man truly has two extremes. On one side we have very obvious cases where the lyrics were just a means to an end and he threw something together...

I have to heavily disagree with "he's adding nothing". I saw them in 2022 prior to Nicko's stroke. Then in 2023 after his stroke and then in 2025 with Simon. The band was incredibly rejuvenated by his addition and firing from all cylinders. Dave is on fire, Steve and Janick back to their old...

Well, according to various comments on the internet: - He's too fast - He's too slow - He drags the songs instead of keeping up with Steve - He hits too weak - He bashes the drums - He lacks technique - He lacks dynamics - He's not Nicko - He has no groove - He's a pub drummer Take your pick.

Simon sounds great here. The first thing I noticed were the guitars not being in sync. And, well... Bruce doing his best Blaze impression :D
