    Rush

    I looked again at Ticketmaster today and it literally didn’t offer anything less than $2,000 USD for 2 tickets. I tried adjusting the filters but they produced zero results. Sorry Rush, I love the dozen or so times I had the joyful experience of seeing you live in concert between Hold Your Fire...

    FUNNY / RANDOM / WEIRD Pictures...

    I realized that something was missing in my life but couldn’t figure out what it was. Thanks to this convo I realized it was the (near) daily laughs from this thread, mostly provided by Mercenary.

    Best Maiden album cover art:

    I think my favorite album cover is Brave New World even if that's not my favorite IM album. My favorite IM album is Somewhere in Time, which along with Powerslave rounds out my top 3 album covers. After that I give honorable mention to Killers for being most iconic, and 7th Son and Virtual XI...

    Songs you love that aren't too popular (one per album).

    Burning Ambition: The B side to Running Free, only played live 5 times according to setlistFM. Sure the lyrics are inane, but I love how it transitions from smooth guitar harmony to frantic thrashy energy and back. Just a fun song, I still go out of my way to listen to this one every now and...

    Ticketmaster presale started today with the lowest price at $250. That was for the original 2 Madison Square Garden shows (before they added two more).

    NOW PLAYING

    I expected to see Bruce run out on stage and start yelling at you.

    Rush

    Yeah that’s real money. Here’s the sad truth: in the 80s and 90s when I was young and broke I would have sold my soul to see Rush. And I often spent myself into debt to do so. Now I’m old and can afford it but I’m just not sure I care enough to schlep into NYC for the show. Other than seeing...

    Rush

    I’m signed up for TicketMaster presale on Sunday 2 days from now so I’ll find out the price for the New York shows soon. I’ve seen them live about a dozen times between the Hold Your Fire tour and the Test for Echo tour. They are my lifelong favorite band but in all honesty I think Power Windows...

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    Do you actually believe that Hell on Earth is one of the worst 5 Iron Maiden songs from their entire discography, or perhaps could you be judging on a curve based on reaction to the recent popularity of this song among Iron Maiden’s fans?

    Rush

    Hmm it’s easy for me to get to Madison Square Garden by train I guess I have a decision to make. I’d love a sneak peek at the 35 songs they have identified for the setlist.

    Who got 'The X Factor'?

    Is there a cd version of the 14 track album that you describe? I don’t hate X Factor but the miserable mood has prevented me from fully embracing it. Based on your description above I’d love to check out this more balanced version

    Rate all songs on Somewhere In Time best to least good

    The album that got me into Maiden in the 80s, and the one that never left my rotation even after I drifted away from the band for several decades. I love how wildly different everyone's rankings are here in this thread, because all eight songs are so great that any tiny aspect can shift the...

    Your initial response to someone being murdered was ‘Welp’. I don’t need to make anything up.
