This is fantastic.

Rush sold out Halifax in like 20 minutes, so I didn't get a ticket...then they added another show!! What great guys.

 

[Forostar]

Cool.

 

[Mosh]

Well I just looked and they're charging less than all the past tours out here so maybe it's more likely this time around. The high ticket prices is the reason I haven't seen them live. At this point it might be now or never.

And yes the setlist is fantastic.

I'm sure even Halford would agree he didn't do half as good as Baez when doing the cover...

I can't see how that's an argument against me thinking Priests versions are superior.

Its not.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

But I will be forever shaking my head at people who think that Priests version is superior

 

[mckindog]

Priest, definitely

 

[mckindog]

And just got my Rush tickets.
Pricey, but sure to be worth every penny.

 

[Wästed The Great]

You guys suck. I've seen them 3 times I think and they are awesome. So very awesome!

Top 10 songs on my "Favourites" playlist by number of plays is mildly surprising, even to me.

1. Iron Maiden - Starblind
2. Alestorm - Back Through Time
3. Iron Maiden - Paschendale
4. Sinnergod - It's a Wonderful Life
5. Iron Maiden - Killers
6. Iron Maiden - Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
7. Iron Maiden - The Trooper
8. Sabaton - Wolfpack
9. Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man
10. Iron Maiden - Ghost of the Navigator

Is that a specific playlist or just your entire library?

I imagine mine would be a bit different to how it is now but the play stats were wiped a few times due to corruption, and it doesn't include iPod ofc... but currently it's all WASP/Bruce, and Panzer Battalion haha. Doesn't even come close to representing my favourite songs ^^

 

[LooseCannon]

It's my "favourites" playlist.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

The snowfall yesterday has saved the skiing conditions for tomorrow. Hooray!

 

[Saapanael]

I disagree. I love the version from Rising in the East.

Oh, And check Live Meltdown '98. Ripper does an amazing rendition. Beuatiful slides from chest voice to his top range.

Why didn't they play the intro solos of Metal Meltdown at Meltdown '98 (on disc 2)?

My recent top ten (according to lastfm) isn't very metal. At least it has Maiden

 

[The Flash]

About Diamonds & Rust, Priest > Original for me too.

 

[Night Prowler]

Acoustic version with Ripper is da best.

 

[Forostar]

Yes, I saw your message.

Alright, good to know.

Why didn't they play the intro solos of Metal Meltdown at Meltdown '98 (on disc 2)?

Around that time I found their leads sounding more sloppy, especially K.K.'s. Like he couldn't do it anymore. His solos on Jugulator are quite forgettable. So I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the reasons.

Considering whether to go to a concert tonight or not...

How did your night go? Did you end up going out at all?

 

[Moon Child]

How did your night go? Did you end up going out at all?

Erm...this question is for you Sixes.

Also, I happen to like the Baez version and this is a better face palm

 

[Moon Child]

Oh geez, don't start a war now.
I assume you had fun. Anything interesting happen?
