I hope we beat you today to avoid the Netherlands in the next round but I'd love to see Scotland go through, hopefully 3 points and -1 goal difference is enough. Amazing fans.

To be honest FIFA rankings don't mean that much imo, Egypt is solid but Iran should be beatable even more with the way their players and staff have been treated this tournament (must be so tiring). Although I don't think Belgium should be #9 as well lol

Maybe South America, they have time to plan until these shows. Wouldn't rule out LA or some other NA show as well.

I got this list looking at Anika's personal spotify, she had some playlists with Jeff Beck setlists and then I saw one named Rush. That song you mentioned has been removed from the playlist but they added

So, the staples are: Songs on 3 sets: Songs on 2 sets: Songs on only 1 set:

My issue with Simon goes beyond just the slower tempos; his playing feels like it lacks a natural swing. He hits hard and keeps solid time, but I'm missing that deep groove and those loose fills that make the music feel immersive. Since I'm not a drummer, it's hard to articulate, but his style...

I hate dragging Simon like that, but I agree. The contrast between how the two bands handled finding a new drummer and the final results is night and day. Plus, Anika has probably had to deal with a lot more scrutiny stepping in front of a heavily male-dominated crowd packed with hyper-critical...

Yeah, I much preferred both my TFP concerts than my LOTB 2022.

Yeah, we all know Bruce has some pretty questionable political stances and all, but I honestly don't think he was being xenophobic. I think he was just pissed off and dropped 'greek cunt' because the show was in Greece.

Maiden 2018 was peak. Goated drum sound, Bruce's best year since probably 2009, revigorated band. I still hope for a live release of that european tour, hopefully a video one, even if it's just the screen feed.

I was talking about 2008, it wasn't played since SSOASS tour, just like ID before today.

Rime wasn't played since 1987 when they did it in SBIT. Moonchild was in the same situation as ID (only played on its album tour). Prisoner and SSOASS also weren't played for a long time when ME happened. I agree they started getting a little bit more creative since Bruce's cancer on TBOS tour...

What's the MITRM version?

Bruce is sounding AMAZING, fucking hell.
