Point taken for the explanation of songs such as
22, Acacia Avenue, I was merely trying to help those whose knowledge of English is somewhat limited and who may not have understood some subtleties (although I agree that it's pretty obvious in the case of
22...).
Concerning the so-called \"bad-mouthing\", I do not think that being the \"yes-man\" of Maiden is the right attitude either... The review on
Rock In Rio reflects the opinion of many fans and does not try to make concessions. Bruce is an obnoxious character and shows it at every opportunity (Like I wrote, it is a shame that he didn't stay as he was in the 80's).
Janick, although a great composer, is a pretty bad performer live musically speaking. He's great for the show, but when you listen to the live recordings, the quality of his solos is quite mediocre. Many musicians agree on this one, and I was merely airing what those who know guitar (I'm not a guitarist) tend to say all too often. Although I'm not a musician, my ears are good enough to inform my brain, who doesn't quite like the transmitted information anyway!

All in all, I just wanted to briefly point out in this message that having a site on Iron Maiden is not about licking their boots. My commentaries may be sometimes a bit biased (it is pretty difficult to write something like this without some elements of subjectivity), but I leave it to the readers to get back to me and tell me what they think... Which is what you did, Gor, and I appreciate that! [!--emo&

All comments, as long as they are constructive, will be taken in consideration and used at one point or another to fine-tune the commentaries! I'm waiting! [!--emo&
