I suspect that 90% of the time that when a song has 3 writers it's a Smith/Dickinson song that they were stuck for a part and Steve came up with the part they were looking for. TBH I wouldn't be surprised if that was 100% of the time.

Picked up a ticket for Heep next year. I only have the first album, so am looking to pick up a compilation in advance but there's about 20 listed on wiki. Which compilation would be most representative of their best tracks that they are most likely to play at the gig? I'm not looking for the...

Half a million dollars for selling 250 photos, nice work if you can get it

Could be worse, Maiden could be charging 2 grand for the likes of this: https://metallicablackbox.com/products/the-bird?variant=40870046236863

I find if you are going to a second gig (or more) on a tour then Iron Maiden is a good one to go to the bar, as once you've already seen the big Eddie then all you are really missing is a track you've heard before at every gig.

It's just meant as a joke about accents, that some words sound like different words when said in a different accent

It doesn't mean anything on it's own, but it's supposed to sound like "Well I'll be fucked" said in an Irish accent.

Facts of life, if bands want to make money these days they have to release all this shit as people won't pay for albums, singles, dvds etc. I'll take it on the chin, if they release something I like I'll probably buy it and if not then I won't. The Trooper as a comic book looks kinda cool, but...

I'd put money on them being the first 3 off the album, i.e. the title track and the two singles

All songs written by Richie Kotzen and Adrian Smith except Rise Again written by Richie Kotzen, Adrian Smith and Mike Portnoy

I was pretty much the same as you joined around that time, when they brought in paying for the board there was an option to just pay 10 euro for the board only, I went with that option as I thought the internet had made the magazines redundant and that they take the piss out of non-UK residents...

Collection means to go to the store and pick it up in person

I'll check when I get home, didn't look at it so far, not a lot of text on it, inner sleeve is just plain black.

I picked it up last week, first record in years that I bought that's a straight forward black vinyl, no pic disc, no gatefold etc.

Same here, top 2 were the 2 singles, i.e. before the physical copy was out. Spotify for me is almost exclusively for listening to band I'm discovering or albums I don't have, or else letting it play songs as I can't be arsed picking an album, so Maiden appearing shouldn't be guaranteed but it's...
