Wasted Years Alexander The Great Stranger in a Strange Land Heaven Can Wait Caught Somewhere in Time Sea of Madness Deja Vu Loneliness

I’m not a big fan of the opening track. It’s different, I’ll give it that, but to me it’s quite a boring intro to the album. Stratego and DOFP are both good short rockers, the kind they have step away from in the last few albums. Hell on Earth took a bit to grow on me, but now I appreciate...

Hallowed pips Revelations. My opinion has gone to and fro on those over the years as to which is Maiden’s greatest song.

When it was released I was getting towards the later years of high school and had just got into Maiden a few months earlier. For the couple of years prior I’d been listening to all sorts to try and find what I really liked, following the crowd so to speak. All of my mates, and most of my year...

The Wicker Man Stratego Days of Future Past Hooks in You Tailgunner

Hell on Earth. Dance of Death was just a bit too gimmicky for me.

The Book of Souls and Brighter than a Thousand Suns are the two standouts. Third is a tougher pick. Possibly Wicker Man as an introduction to the reunion era.

Of the really ‘big’ albums I’d say Dark Side of the Moon.

I thought the sound was pretty good from where we were which was here. As I said, Guns N Roses in 2017 just sounded kind of distant and tinny there. Maybe, therefore, I was expecting it to sound much worse than it did last night. Best outdoor stadium gig I’ve been to for sound quality.

Well I thought last night was excellent performance-wise. I was worried about the sound at the London stadium along with a potential lack of atmosphere (having been for GnR) but that was misplaced. The mix was perfect and crowd was massively up for it. I’d avoided the set list so the 3 Killers...

If we got Rhyme, Phantom and Killers I’d be happy. Personally I’d love to open with Tailgunner, or for Infinite dreams to be performed, but that’s unlikely. I’ve accepted long ago FOTB won’t ever happen. Revelations and Hallowed are in my top 3 songs so I’ll never tire of them. RTTH does...

This is going to have to be a grower.

Having been slowly getting into Rock bands as a 13 year old, I bought a couple of the “First 10 Years” re-released singles when they came out in 1990. I can’t remember why, whether I’d heard one of them somewhere or simply because of the 12” artwork-laden covered. I loved what I heard so started...

Livenation Presale just doesn't let me get any seated tickets at London. Offers them to me and then just says "Unfortunately, we were unable to reserve your chosen seats" edit - its just being awkward. I kept refreshing and randomly picking the first seats it offered me incase someone else was...
