Justice Of The Peace's instrumental section sounds great live. The vocal parts are 50/50. But a cool rocker, it could have been written in the early 2000s too. Blaze, nice job, the studio version is perfect. He didn't play the other 2 B-sides?

8 Judas Priest - Painkiller +1 2 Kiss - Destroyer 2 Tygers Of Pan Tang - Crazy Nights 6 Opeth - Still Life 4 Dio - Killing The Dragon +1 2 Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian Destroyer is iconic and cool Kiss (costumes more live), Crazy Nights is perfect Tyger with its idea, colors and overall...

Awesome news, they're on a roll. It seems they/Richie have the ideas. Taking a year off to write and record is normal for Priest. Album release probably in 2027 or 2028. Their Richie-albums gaps are: 4 years-6 years(because of the anniv tour)-and now 3 or 4 years again. It's great to follow-up a...

It's nice that Blaze upgrades his album covers when he reissue them or for tour arts. Born As A Stranger is a typical single, maybe it would have been with Maiden. Since he's doing it for TXF, it's only fair to do for VXI too, despite the album being less popular.

This art style is so impactful, no wonder Bruce likes it so much. It's perfect for metal, like Helloween's recent albums. Imagine what you could do for a booklet of an album in this style... TCW or for TMP would have been fitting. Like he did with TOS booklet.

Good call, but the other band members who don't have solo projects are curious - Dave and Janick. Taking a whole year break (*especially now) is because they don't know what to do. Continue (with the new lineup, no doubt), write an album, next tour and ideas. Playing just their usual songs for...

Happy Birthday @Mosh ! :hbd:

6 Nightwish - Oceanborn +1 4 Green Day - Dookie 1 HammerFall - Crimson Thunder 5 Savatage - Dead Winter Dead 5 Visions of Atlantis - The Deep & the Dark +1 1 Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin Oceanborn is captivating, that's its biggest strength. Crimson Thunder is very nice, but imo it could...

Very solid album, but maybe if the game was without Maiden albums.

The Final Frontier - easy vote. Probably my least favorite Reunion album, but it's still full of great and interesting songs. An album with a different feel and is the best of the bunch. No pure weak songs. Coat Of Arms - again it's hard not to enjoy their style. You can like every song. Promise...

This is like an essential metal cover. So good, the colors too. And the background ofc. :ok:

Richie Faulkner plays a cover of ''Fear Of The Dark'' with a band with harsh vocals. It's 3 minutes shorter. From last month. The version of the song is faster, almost power metal and it suits the song so well! Richie improvised the solos (more Janick's), but added his style.

Why do you think so? Because they already replaced Nicko? Possible, unfortunately. I agree with you, but it's normal to expect the band not to play the same old songs on every tour from now on and to announce their farewell tour. Playing rare/Reunion songs is probably what they don't want to...

Oh no. Let's hope so. They're still delivering live and in the studio. And it makes sense, dunno about a semi-retirement.
