I got the Bruce Dickinson vinyl box set. Dude on Ebay selling it for $110 and it was still in stellar condition. I'm very pleased to now have this item in my fairly recently started Maiden vinyl collection. That is my story.

Saw clips of Aces High on Quebec, and Bruce was fucking on point. It was the first clip of the show I'd seen of the US leg of the tour where Bruce is back to singing the chorus instead of shouting it. It's minor to most folks I bet, but it's huge to a guy like me who has a lot of amazing...

Coming Home

I meant to comment on this and never did. So now I am. This kind of thinking reminds me of what I call "old people and their goddamn frying pans" theory. See, here in the south east United States there is this belief that if you have a crusty ass 100 year old cast iron frying pan that over...

What's the opinion of Iced Earth with the new not-Barlow singer? I haven't kept up with them too much because I lost interest after Burnt Offerings but am thinking of giving them some spins. I thought Ripper was fantasic with them but a lot of their later stuff kinda bores me compared to the...

I almost wrote this same thing. I like Rammstein and their new album is incredible. To be fair I'm not the biggest Tool fan. I find them kind of boring. I put them in the same class of bands like Opeth where I can admire how talented they are and agree with all the accolades, I just can't...

Don't forget in regards to albums of the year that Devin Townsend already dropped Empath, which unless Maiden does something is the game point.

Man of Sorrows

So I've been on this Metallica kick this last week. I go through this "They had some good albums, they can't be that terrible right?" phase every 7-10 years and go through their discography. Yesterday on the way home from work I popped in (well it's on USB thumb stick, so I just selected the...

Great, time to start guess. Powerslave

The best part is that it was delayed so that it would have "cutting edge graphics" and such and it was just a rail shooter. It was Virtua Cop or Duck Hunt with Eddie instead of Ducks. Legacy of the Beast is a shitty freemium mobile game and is legitimately better than Ed Melter.

Thing about the Trooper that appeals to me is that they updated it to work with three guitarists and it sounds better now than it ever did. First time I realized that solo was TWO guitars at once my mind was blown. This is a toughie. Trooper is by far the better song, but I'm positive I've...

This thread appears to be a nightmare spanning almost 15 years now, but might as well weigh in: I know relatively little about music production in general but Dance of Death has always sounded like a vibrant and heavy album to me. And while the bass is a tad buried, the drums are anything but...
