I agree in here with fact A, I'm definitely happy that Maiden are still touring, that they're still in quite good shape (of course, per example I'll always miss Steve running all over the stage or jumping from the drum riser but hey for a 68 year guy, he's doing pretty well and same goes for...

Yes and no. As I've mentionned a few pages before, there are some songs that can easily be played on a traditional drum kit (the five piece one you've mentionned) but there are some others that really need that "extra" stuff, those other toms and cymbals. Since you've mentionned Neil Peart which...

Thirty-six hours later, a quick review and my feelings on the Zurich concert and this tour in general: To start at the very beginning, when I saw the announcement of the tour and the fact that for such an important anniversary tour, they were only going to concentrate on half their discography...

Time for a little update since...I don't know how long in alphabetical order: 2 Minutes to midnight Aces High Afraid to shoot strangers The aftermath Alexander the great The angel and the gambler Another life Blood brothers Blood on the world's hands Book of souls Brave new world Brighter than...

Yes and no...it really depends how the kit is used. The more toms you have the more range you have so the fills are going to sound a bit different hitting different toms versus hitting the same tom (or just two or three instead of five or six). Maybe for some, it won't sound that different but...

I think it was the same guy that filmed Rush at the same venue on the same year (the angle of the camera being exactly the same and the way the camera moves, as well, is very similar...same goes for the quality in general, so 95% sure it was the same guy). Did he film other gigs? I can't tell...

The first camcorders appeared around 1983 and at that time, I presume they were expensive so not a lot of people did have one. Also they were quite big, so to sneak a camcorder into a venue was a challenge. As far as I'm aware there are two audience shot from the World Piece tour one done in...

Best Of The Beast - The double CD and the Vinyl version have a great list of songs, the cover art is awesome and both the book version of the CD's and the vinyl boxset are among the most beautiful things Maiden had ever released. And a new track, even if it was "just" an average song, still cool...

As long as they don't bring back Sanctuary and specially Drifter (one of their worst songs ever) I'm fine with whatever they play. Of course, deep inside, in my wish list there are the following: - Remember tomorrow (I know that in 2005 already, Bruce said they wouldn't playing it again and its...

Live After death: legendary album, soundwise, specially the guitars, its probably their best (thanks Martin!) Maiden England: really nice they had quite a different setlist from LAD. Soundwise, it's great again (but its Martin again so what should we expect) but I feel this time some songs are...

Stevie Ray Vaughan, it's been years and years and I never could find any other guitarist that can play as fast as he does (and hitting the strings real hard) while still getting each and every note he plays sounding perfect. And he plays with such soul...a song like Tin Pan Alley it's just whaouhhh

It's funny because for me it's the full opposite, I'm a huge prog fan and a pure european and Rush is by far my favorite band (with Maiden), love their music and the way they always tried to evolve and develop their it throughout their 40 years of career. And same goes for lyrics, which for me...
