    Testament

    Cheers. Your rig it not much activity lol. Maybe there’s not a lot of testament fans in this forum, shame as I love them and was hoping to read what others thought of the new album. Never mind, back to listening to Para Bellum then :shred:

    Testament

    Done a quick search and can’t believe their isn’t a Testament thread :oops: Maybe I missed it and didn’t search properly but theirs nothing on the front page of this sub forum so even if their was a thread no one’s been talking about them recently which considering their new album dropped today...

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    My first Maiden show was on the X-factour at the Brixton academy in London. Cracking night as I was a big fan of the support band that night, My Dying Bride. Can’t remember much about the stage set up but I do remember Blaze being rooted to the same spot all night just fist pumping while...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    So you had one experience with Nicko once for a few seconds and judged him as completely rude an arrogant all the time :facepalm: I love how fans are so quick to judge an entire personality over a whole lifetime just because for the few seconds they demand attention and want an autograph said...

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    The uk date TBC is a curious one. I’d love it if it’s a sabbath type one off with some big names announced all playing some of their own stuff and each band does a cover of a maiden song not on the maiden setlist. That would be something very special. Be extra cool if they stream it too and...

    Death

    Looks AI to me. Still like it though and I’m not one of these fans who jumps on any band using AI but this does look like someone typed into Chat GPT “sound of perseverance by death, anniversary” and this is what popped up.

    50th Anniversary Documentary Announcement

    Xmas holidays would be an ideal time to release the documentary considering Steve has always maintained he decided to form the band on Xmas day.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Cathedral

    Big fan of cathedral here :shred: I was starting to get into death metal around the early 1990’s which included the death doom movement in the uk. Discovered cathedral around the same time as paradise lost, my dying bride and Anathema. I remember buying the ethereal mirror on release day and...

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    It’s funny reading back the last couple of pages of this thread. Reminds me of when I first got a pc and regular internet access, probably around 1999/2000 I believe. Computers were very expensive and the company I worked at was doing a scheme where you could have the latest intel computer and...

    Senjutsu charts position

    And bands complain they can’t make money from streaming these days :p If Senjutsu alone is doing 50k streams per day then if they only make 10p a stream that’s £5k a day or over £1.8m a year! Or halve that if it’s only 5p a day but that’s still huge. Compare that to selling a cd 30 years ago...

    Megadeth

    Massively average, 5/10 song. Not bad but nothing remarkable about the song at all.

    So much for Nicko remaining a member of the band

    I’ll apologise for the bell end comment previously made. I certainly shouldn’t have jumped in this thread all guns blazing with that as an opening line. I think threads like this are just pointless though and seem to exist just to try and through shade on the band. I get it, this is a maiden...

    So much for Nicko remaining a member of the band

    You’re a bell end plain and simple. Starting a thread for no reason other than to think you’ve got some special info but really you’ve either copied and pasted this from another forum or, you’ve got nothing better to do with your life. This is a business transaction and has no bearing on how...
