Ecuador for me. Been there in 1999 and it was absolutely beautiful, more beautiful than Colombia where I also went to. But Ecuador changed from the once safest country in South America to now the most dangerous.

I noticed a very interesting thing when it comes to returning a shirt due to size issues, dislikes or whatever. Brexit made the returning extremely expensive. From Germany to the UK a shirt retoure would cost me ridiculous 26 Euros - which is more than half price of the shirt itself. The exact...

Yes, and also very different from the usual prices, obviously. 129 € for a TShirt? They missed their today's medication hand out?

Can we expect those bands like Megadeth and Anthrax doing longer gigs than usual support bands do? I mean, those bands are of a heavier weight than e.g. Powerwolf or The Raven Age are. Would be a pity if they were nailed to do somewhat of a 40-minutes-set. And they are announced being "very...

Really happy to see Megadeth again, Hannover. They did a great job opening for Maiden in 1999 (Hamburg), and I also saw Anthrax opening for Maiden in 1990 which was also superb, however, Megadeth were even better.

When I have a bad day I usually don't listen to Maiden. I keep them to have everything about them connected with pure positive spirits. They're too important and too long lasting (in general, and also in my personal life yet) to throw them in a pot together with any kind of negative emotions...

It's nice btw Wasting Love didn't get a single mention here yet, though I was sure it was to be named early. Great song.

I think it's not boring, but they didn't do themselves a favour by having played it live. It didn't work, and that was mainly because of Bruce. No More Lies and The Clansman are both very boring IMHO. They both have interesting intros, but the rest is a whole yawn fest.

Are there any Maiden songs you'd consider boring, and if so, which are these? I personally think The Trooper is utterly boring, and not only because it's overplayed. Lost In A Lost World also does not impress me at all and would be a very boring song - if there wasn't the slow outro (which by...

Anybody out there with some personal experiences micing a 4x12 guitar cab with a Sennheiser e935 dynamic mic? I`m looking for an additional mic for my collection and the e935 seems interesting. Thanks for sharing any experiences! :-)

Will you get it or not? I probably will, main reason is the bad quality cover print of the regular LAD vinyl. I hope they improved the printing this time without cutting lots of the edges off.

I LOVE the LAD shirt, the black one. Just ordered it twice, looks awesome. Probably the best shirt they did in ages.

Aces High and 2MtM indeed were shot in Hannover. They did the shooting when the stage was put together for the first time, few days later they set off to Poland. It was just around the corner from my place. :-)

Hannover 2026 btw was also a clever move for marketing reasons. This year we had Bremen, but if there was Bremen and Hannover announced by the same time, both venues would compete with each other. I mean, I don't mind at all because I am anyway trying to see as many Maiden shows as possible.
