I dunno, some of Nicko's worst nights from last year in Australia for example were even worse if you ask me, because him being totally off his game very nearly derailed entire songs like Fear. It was so bad management actually went for the it never happened strategy and forced people to take...

For some reason this kinda got ignored, but for everyone here: you should probably check out Nicko's drumming. He's basically done the impossible and recovered to the point it's genuinely fucking crazy and suddenly any suggestion of him playing a single show with the band in Florida doesn't seem...

It could've been included...but it would've been played at a ludicrous tempo and probably sounded half as good at best with Bruce skipping or shortening lines etc. to get a breath in, and it might've even gotten dropped mid-tour. Those years spent not playing the song is what gave both parties...

He'll say he made a "moral contribution" to Children of the Damned, RTTH and The Prisoner. He'll forget to mention Gangland, as usual.

I don't really have much of an opinion on the topic, but OTGDY is miles better than ATG. Apples and oranges since the only thing in common between the two is they're both the last track on their respective albums, but it's not exactly like ATG vs. SSOASS is going to end up as anything short of a...

See him saying Aces High was a bit much as an encore in some interview, months after he'd hyped the whole thing up to high heaven as the best ever show they did. Still waiting for that country album.

50 euros for a T-shirt that looks worse than the shitty cloth poster of the same cover my brother somehow acquired I have adorning my walls? Yeah, no thanks. What maniac thought it was a great idea to replace the logo for one? Are they so brand obsessed every new piece of merch needs to have...

I think Only the Good Die Young could easily be about the verses being delivered with a more low, dramatic voice which maybe Bruce isn't all that fond of doing anymore. But then again Flash of the Blade also has lower verses and he obviously has no issue with that so who knows what the real...

I mean, if we wanna go down that route of comparing incredibly lackluster performances to find the singular gem, I'm pretty sure San Diego '98 takes the cake. And even that solely because Blaze is breaching on pulling off the impossible and singing an entire song way out of his register, and...

Ozzy's probably the latest example of how we all in fact are bound to our mortal coil, no matter how impossible it may seem we don't live on.

Who the fuck did that horrendous AI upscale job on that? It looks like shit! It's like Bruce is made out of wax or something, he's so smooth and has highlights on him. Not to mention taking a perfectly good video and cropping most of the fucking frame out so you can repost it as a short.

Yeah and even those sessions had their fair share of grumbling (from Nicko at least) since not everyone was as enthusiastic about heading back in the studio in the middle of winter in Paris. I would honestly not be surprised if it turned out that it's really only Bruce who has any real interest...

I believe he also offered an ultimatum: either Blaze goes or he does. Losing Nicko would've pretty much spelled the death of the band anyway at that stage so there was no path forward with Blaze at the helm.

Interesting comment. Care to elaborate?

Well, when you're the greatest metal drummer on earth, I think you've earned some arrogance.
