Listening to some Primal Rock Rebellion stuff, wow (I never really gave it more spins because of the vocals) - and Adrian certainly wrote a really good and strong collection of metal riffs and other ideas (in every song). Quality. They would be perfect for Bruce solo, I can't imagine for Maiden...

I don't disagree (especially the last sentence, or that Bruce values his new band a lot), the situation should be clear now after some comments and Roy would definitely want to play his co-written songs in the studio (new, nope), but since the work for the remixes is ongoing I guess both sides...

True about the energy. It's one of those Maiden rockers that are perfect live and has the elements of anthemic Maiden, but I wouldn't call it classic Maiden. Idk, maybe only because of the chorus. It has an early days, 90's and Reunion eras flavor in one! This is the type of rocker Adrian would...

No More Lies is indeed a good example of how the band could have sounded (probably the best example along with Futureal, Judgement Of Heaven, Lord Of The Flies, Sign Of The Cross...) with Bruce and Adrian in the mid-90's/Blaze era, but maybe a (longer) song co-written by the two of them would be...

Glory To The Brave is one of the best debut albums in metal! What an album for the time and it helped traditional metal. And that cover. 8 perfect songs more or less. Most of them are classics and some are underrated pieces (''I Believe'', ''Unchained''). Their first 4 albums are peak. Dressed...

Cool to read this about the creative process behind ''Powerslave'', Steve's input (he said this for the first time?) and his way of writing epics. Thanks. So Bruce combine ideas too, at least for the longer stuff. He had some really great ideas back then. Wow, haha. Bruce asking Steve to help...

Sounding like Edguy is expected, right. Not different power metal after all. Kenny Leckremo, indeed. He looks and sings like 80's Bruce and young Kiske. Very good vocalist, H.E.A.T. are a cool glam-esque band. I'm curious to hear some Maiden covers from him.

Some thoughts: Alter Bridge's Fortress is an effective and solid song from their style. The riff of Armored Saint's Warzone is enough for a win! The Spirit Carries On has a beautiful solo and vibe, Kamelot's Wander is one of my favorite ballads (that chorus!)! Walk In The Shadows should be one...

Here's the answer then, although I still wonder if Bruce will completely stop working with Roy. Both guitarists should be able to write nice riffs and melodies, but I think for future albums he will write alone and with Roy, but he will record with the band. Not because of the remixes, Bruce...

My pleasure. It seems Bruce will indeed record with his solo band, which is fine by me. No more missing parts and stuff, please. Also probably a different producer, right? It's curious to see what he (or they) can come up with 2 guitars in the studio. More melodic interludes/harmonies, should be...

Instagram live with Bruce from yesterday by Z2. It was advertised as a Q&A, but for 45 min, they asked him only like two. Not cool. We can see that the fans' questions were good and interesting. A missed opportunity. Some things to note: he noted that ''Shadow Of The Gods'' is the most...

Like any (classic) guitarists, right. I wouldn't say that about Adrian, he always finds a way to make his solos interesting. The latest album is a good example.

Janick's original solo is best/better, but took all the joy out? Is that possible with Adrian's solos.

I will use your categories now, they are interesting: 10.Futureal (former member) love me a classic melodic and fast Maiden rocker. I wish Maiden would make more ''such'' songs on albums. The melodic riffs shine. 9.Judgement Of Heaven (introspective Steve song) it fits, right. Blood Brothers...

Riot's Outlaw, easy choice for me. Classic melodic metal with cool riffs (that opening one) and solos (plus the melody!). The vocal ideas are nice enough. Stormbringer is proto-metal Purple. The riff is memorable, the vocals ideas are strong and effective. Not to mention the solo. Another easy...
