With that being said, I'm personally happy with the setlist. It's based on the Legacy tour, with all its pros and cons. But it's a good setlist in general. Also,

Leaves the best one out:

He's practical rather than sentimental, the Strat is a great guitar in itself, has a sick design and is highly customisable (much more than the Gibsons). Also he's used to the body and neck. He's played Strats on a practically exclusive basis since when he bought the Kossoff. Unrelated, but I...

Especially.

I am a man, I'm with my blokes And when we're walking down the road At dawn or strolling through the park And when to rise begins the sun I'm brighten'd up very much No more sad, no more dark Enjoying the sun, enjoying the sun I have a constant feel that I am warming up Enjoying the sun...

Enjoying the Light

Could it be a Charvel bridge? Like the one Van Halen mounted on the Frankenstrat for the cover of the first album.

Despite being the band's second most prolific songwriter, and a stable composer of their singles since "Flight of Icarus", it took Adrian nine albums and 19 years in the band for one of his songs to finally be the title track of his tenth record with Iron Maiden (The Final Frontier). For...

The bootleg has been on YT for at least 12 years now: The channel re-uploaded it (in better quality). Btw. Iron Maiden on national TV. And in Italy no less!

Technically Senjutsu, since - unless I am miscalculating - it was played in less shows than Alexander. I also used to know a guy who had been at Prague 2005, the only post-1980 show in which they played Charlotte the Harlot before dropping it off the setlist.

Quick ABA (album-by-album) overview: Gates to Purgatory: this and the following one have little to nothing to do with the rest of their production, lyrics-wise. Best songs probably are the last two: Genghis Khan and Prisoners of Our Time. Branded and Exiled: probably the less interesting of the...

HCW is not in E, it starts in A (intro + main riff 1), modulates to E (main riff 2), the verse is in D Mixolydian ('Can't understand what is happening to me'), then the pre-chorus ('I can't believe that really my time has come') is Bb to C (they raise the chord one step at a time to create...

Might not be the happiest of places, but I was watching the documentary about the 2022 Idaho U murders. Iron Maiden t-shirts appear in ep. 2 (boyfriend of one of the victims is wearing a TNOTB shirt in a pic taken from social media) and ep. 3 (a TikToker making a video about Kohberger's...

Also, I relistened to Black Hand Inn in its entirety, so it's track-by-track time: The Curse: a very much less interesting intro than Chamber of Lies leads us into the dark mood of the album. Black Hand Inn: this would have been their best opener BY FAR, had Riding the Storm not been in their...
