Frankly, so did I.

Kinda tour-related; Nicko performed "Infinite Dreams" and "The Parchment" with Titanium Tart yesterday, so they absolutely COULD have been played with Maiden ("Dreams," obviously not "The Parchment" on this tour).

This is fair.

The dynamics you refer to are far more reliant upon the drummer's technique and less upon the equipment. Especially in a live environment. A traditional drum kit is comprised of five pieces: the snare, the bass, two mounted toms and a floor tom. The cymbals used are a hi-hat, a ride and a...

For all of our conversations about the setlist, I just looked it up and the RFYL set is identical to the Ed Hunter Tour set but for four songs: The Clansman, Futureal, Man On The Edge and The Evil That Men Do. Huh. I found that very interesting. Murders, The Clairvoyant, Rime and SSOASS are the...

Thanks!

Wow. For someone who's not offended, you sure do sound butthurt to me. FWIW, I'm far from the only guitar player on this forum. I do play and have jammed before with much better musicians than myself; I would namecheck a few but then I'd REALLY sound like a douche. Let's just say that I...
