Think Roy is talking about Halford - he's doing a new blues album & probably won't tour with it. Interesting to see how the set develops for the next shows. Still hoping for Soul Intruders & something off of Skunkworks. The merch seems a bit of a letdown TBH. Was there a Mexican/South American...

Voted for Confeos. Thank me later.

Of course they'll be playing the singles, don't think there was a scenario where they wouldn't be played. Rain's chorus will sound great live, IMO. Think Afterglow is going to be the opener (if not Accident, as it's been teased so much by the band members on IG) Many Doors to Hell(the most...

IESF is my favourite Maiden songs, doubt I'll never get used to Eternity Has Failed. The background sounds on the intro sound so out of place and stupid, something I could've made after 9 pints. The guitar work on the verses sounds cool, though.

Got like halfway through on the way to work - liked the songs, hard to say anything more after half a listen. Nothing mindblowing though, hope there are some classics towards the end of the album.

I find the album easier to get into than for example TFF, TBOS or Senjutsu - liked most of the songs on the first listen. Maybe it's the lack of (pointless) repetition. Hard to say where this'll fit in my album rankings - beats the first two easily, not sure about the rest, time will tell. And...

After five or six listens I can say I really like the album. Of course it's not gonna be as coherent as Chemical Wedding - the album was made in gaps, over a period of 15+ years. Just glad we got so many cool (and better than the first 2)songs - Many Doors to Hell and Shadow of the Gods being...

Am I the only one who thinks the Chemical Wedding doesn't sound that good? The songs themselves kick ass, but the guitar tone for example in Trumpets of Jericho is just weak. IMO the songs sound much better on Scream for Me Brazil.

So jealous of people getting the new album so early. Decided not to preorder and get mine on the release day instead, as the last time I ordered vinyl from the UK to Finland the delays and taxes were insane.

Listened to Tyranny this morning on the way to work - man I hope there's more songs from it than Navigate in the set list this year. Soul Intruders is one of my favourite songs, Kill Devil Hill and the title track would also kill live. Such a shame there wasn't a proper tour in 2005.

Man I hope there's going to be a presale of some sort for these dates. House of Culture is a small place, might even be the smallest show he's played since TCW tour? Going to Budapest, Helsinki and Tallinn, thinking about Mystic Festival aswell.

Don't you guys think that if H would be joining the tour they would've announced it with the album/tour news? Think there might be a solo or 2 from him on the album if we're lucky, but that's it.

Does anyone have video of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life on the second O2 show?

So by now we have: - A band who organize pre- and afterparties, with lots of young women in attendance brought there by the 'casting director'. Not exactly very '2023', but not illegal. - A woman going to the party, on anti-depressants, taking shots of tequila poured by Till after which she...

1 - Como Estais Amigos 2 - Paschendale 3 - Afraid to Shoot Strangers 4 - Blood on the World's Hands These four are clearly my favourite Maiden songs, the rest could change on a daily basis...if I had to pick today, I'd go with The Longest Day Still Life If Eternity Should Fail Only the Good...
