Well the greatest of them all, Hallowed Be Thy Drink from Bologna is there.

That's Janick's Gillan 64/65 Strat probably. That's what Dave played when they jumped on stage during Bruce's solo gig to play Trooper.

1. Simon's timing fuckup 2. Bruce's timing fuckup 3. Adrian's death stare

The guitar was at the warm-up gig, but it wasn't used on tour. Davey played candy apple red/burgundy Jackson, white Jackson and blue ESPs on that tour.

It is Floyded now and was since I think No Prayer On The Road. There was a photo of the original Signature Strat prototype, the 64 and the black FR Classic Strat from 2013 when Dave was apparently thinking about going on tour with those. All were Floyded and all had H-S-H configurations with...

Well, there were no flares in sight, so I guess it was enemy no. 2... Pot smoker in first row. Damn the 2nd half of the song is sloooooow.

IMO the first step is the Destroyer on RTTH and FOTD and then we can talk. I'm just happy that the black Lado is getting justice that was taken from it during World Slavery Tour.

Black Lado on everything Lado tonight. I have a nickname... Black Widow.

Black Lado is back for the start of the show for Murders, Wrathchild and Phantom. 2MTM was played again on the 2016 Green Sunburst Jacko. Edit: Rime was done with black Lado too. Is it possible that the black Lado finally overtook The Silver Lady in preference?

Kossoff's Strat was indeed a partscaster. I think it's a 63 body and a 57 neck.

This. I kinda understand they wanted to squeeze as much as they could from Bruce before leaving, there was also creative struggle between Bruce and Steve, so they just plopped more songs on the album. FOTD with 9 tracks would be great IMO.

Yes. Pickguards moved between those 2 guitars. The 57 never had the original pickguard and still doesn't (it was SSS and mint green, see Free's performance of My Brother Jake).

X Factor. Would be Fear Of The Dark, if they trimmed the fat a bit. Drop 4 weakest tracks (Fear Is The Key, Chains Of Misery, Weekend Warrior and The Apparition) and you have a solid album.

I think I messed that one up. That 64 actually wasn't a 64, but a CBS-era Strat.1979 one. Dave switched the pickguards between it and the Kossoff one multiple times. I think that the angled pickup was to compensate for it not being F-spaced. When DiMarzio released F-spaced pickups, Dave put...

I'd say not just mentally sick, but simply can't do it physically. I think if Maiden toured like Stones do, with a lot of space between the dates, Nicko would still be drumming for them. But Steve and Bruce don't want that.
