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...

Just based on the last posts and some personal ones: - The Beatles: I think the only song of them that I like is While my guitar gently wheeps...and I prefer the version with Prince, not even the original one! All of the other songs I've listened from them (and I listened to quite a lot) are 95%...

Actually, you can hear Bruce back in 1984 saying it during the Milwaukee show (just in the link below at 3:34)

One of the main problems of No Prayer is that it comes after a list of very good/excellent/legendary albums. And also compared to the one that followed, as a whole it may be better but it has no stand out tracks whereas FotD has the title track, Afraid and Be quick . So I think that most of the...

Reading a magazine dedicated to The Number of the Beast, I read in there an info I had totally forgotten. During the US leg of the tour, Clive's father died and Clive flew back to England and stayed there some time with his family and Nicko McBrain replaced him for a few dates before he returned...

Actually there were drum solos in Iron Maiden shows since the beginning until the World Piece Tour. Same for guitar solos but these ones (actually this one since it was only Dave Murray) were still part of the World Slavery tour setlist. Then on Somewhere on Tour, we had the guitar duet . And...

But this recording is from the World Slavery Tour, not the World Piece tour, a great sounding bootleg I must say The 1983 Ipswich bootleg is called The trooper in Ipswich and it's true, is among the very best audience recorded bootlegs (the version released in 2006 by the taper himself is the...

Actually, as it's said on the description on Youtube, this is a compilation from recordings between 99 and 2006. Believe me, I searched for years for the best bootlegs available, specially for this tour and if there are some that are quite good (a version of the second night in New York that is...

Well, on one hand, I'd like to have an official live album for every tour that doesnt have one. But since there are quite some tours for which we may find very good sounding bootlegs (sometimes from radio or television broadcasts, soundboards or even some very good audience ones), if there was...

There are quite a few interesting bootlegs from this tour with good to great quality: Leicester, 2nd of October, with the name of "This is thirsty work" (taped by a guy called Gigaddiction) London, Hammersmith, 18 of October, probably not the best sounding, but still quite one but what matters...

Sometimes I wonder if some fans really know Maiden that well and how they work. There are bands who have no problem replacing some of their members for the duration of a tour or for the recording of certain parts in the studio (Kiss comes directly to mind). This is not at all the way Maiden...

100% chances to be played: Fear of the Dark 1 or 2 of those could happen: Afraid to Shoot Strangers Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter Probably won't happen but they're next in line: Tailgunner No prayer for the dying From here to eternity Wasting love Absolutely Never Gonna Happen In a...

On the one hand, there are bands who, as soon as one of their members isn't suitable or doesn't meet expectations, are replaced, even if it's only when they can't play a song in the studio or when they're not up to touring. A perfect example would be a band like Kiss! Here, what counts is that...

Pure science is maths or physics (or exact science if you prefer), health is not a pure science since everyone's body is different and will react differently to treatments (with some common points of course but never 100%)
