For whatever reason, Nintendo gets a ton of similar doom and gloom to the point that nintendoomed has become a meme: We need a Maiden version of this gif.

At least he stayed with the double-reeded instruments. Imagine if he called it a clarinet instead :D

Which is weird, since the very same setlist they are playing right now has multiple songs that are tougher to sing, yet those have been in multiple tours or are outright forever staples. Lesson learned: Don't assume things Steve, let Bruce decide what he's comfortable with. Get rid of Aces High...

Well, The Trooper isn't going anywhere either, so that one is safe to assume as well. Then there's stuff like TETMD, an obvious classic, that took an extended break. It's due for a return. Fan-favourites that were played on LOTB like Revelations or The Wicker Man/Blood Brothers have good chances...

I never doubted that we'd get at least one more album out of them, but for me the most exciting part of that interview is this quote: I'm glad that they're unwilling to settle into a cabaret act and are seemingly thinking about fresh and exciting themes for future tours.

Uh, no. It was not specifically about the studio version. It was about the song in general, so talking about both versions is fair game. Quit the semantics, there's no reason for that. You might be talking about the studio version, others talked about the live version. Chill out. Come on...

That's obviously not what I was implying. Maiden are one of the few bands, where many of the songs are much better live. Hallowed or FOTD for example, I only ever listen to the studio versions if I'm listening to the entire album. If I wanna hear those songs, I go for one of the live versions...

Funnily enough Lost In A Lost World is one of my favourites on Senjutsu and I really love that song :D

A friend of mine saw them yesterday at Nova Rock. He's not a Maiden fan, but sent me a text after their show and said "live they're a 12/10, amazing show!". Funny that.

Not a fan of the lyrics in Age Of Innocence, but the music itself is awesome. It's pretty fun how it uses the James Bond chord progression once the distorted guitars kick in.

Damn, I could not disagree more, but that's the beauty of opinions :lol:

Man, y'all are crazy, No More Lies is a 10/10, especially live. The only thing I could see being criticized is the chorus melody being the same each time, which Bruce changed live, so that's a non-issue. One of the few songs where we get a solo by each guitarist one after another after another...

For a long while I used to prefer BNW over DOD. Over the years the latter kept climbing the ranks and despite there being a couple of songs that are weaker imo, there's so much great material on that album. It's in my top 5 nowadays.

Oh no! They are so old it's affecting their memory! /s :D

Great idea to do it this way around. Makes going through the remake trilogy much more rewarding. Agreed! Really looking forward to both of those. It's pretty cool to finally get some high budget Nintendo remakes that actually look like modern games. I enjoyed the 3DS versions of both of those...
