Early Days Tour

I haven’t seen the documentary in forever but my guess is pool. Or snooker, wtf that is.

Holding this space for the eventual new Samael and Moonspell albums set to come out later this year. It doesn't matter how good they are or arent, they'll still be amazing! Also, with luck, we'll get a new Mastodon album.

I'm listening on my tinny tiny teeny teensy work laptop speaker so that could be why I can't hear it. Something I do like about Simon, which I'd taken for granted for now, is just how much the band can benefit from a rock-steady beat. Which makes me even more potentially excited for an 18th...

Wasn't Evil Man Do in the Legacy of the Beast setlist?

Nicko on the Death On The Road DVD/live album is thunderous and quite fast. My favorite version of the Trooper is there complete with Nicko on drums. He even still sounds absolutely phenomenal on the Legacy of the Nights of the Beast in Mexico on the Road live album.

Can't tell if the bass drum is hard to hear or just not present, but I'm definitely not hearing him hit those triplets.

Afraid to Shoot Strange People is a fantastic song and one Bruce can absolutely still nail. I saw two shows on the 2012-2013 tour and loved them both. I’m super excited to see Ghost, but if I could pick only one I’d still choose Maiden.

If there’s one single thing that’s helped the band to last: it’s integrity. They’re honest with themselves and the fans, they stick to their guns, and they play the music they want to. Listen to a lot metal and hard rock from the 80s, and it sounds like it’s from the 80s. Iron Maiden...

Opinions so wrong in here it hurts. Ian Hill not being crucial? Scott Travis slander? Saying every album sounds like Painkiller when, in fact, they've actually been sort of revisiting all eras with Shield and Firepower. Might as well just say you stopped listening to Priest in '84 and leave...

I thought we kind of got that for both DoD and AMOLAD? And Mission From 'Arry.

I asked for it for Xmas. It’s a cheap easy gift you can get at Walmart and I’d never get it on my own.

All is nothing what it seems

Looked at ticket prices for the venues closest to me and cheapest I saw was $150 for lawn seats. What the ever loving fuck is going on? So instead, wife and I used our “concert money” to go see Ghost next month. It’s a fair trade: I’ve seen Maiden five times and never seen Ghost.
