Great thing, you have the power of the internet at your fingertips. This isn't the first time this topic has come up. You can't say "someone would do it anyway" and take the blame off Trump. Biden could have done it but refused. It was Trump who did it. We need to be very clear about this. And...

Every US president has had numerous attempts at their lives, including Obama and Biden. The difference with Trump is that the attempts at his life came from (former) Trump supporters. Netenyahu tried to get Biden to join in and attack Iran. Biden refused. He did the same with the orange...

Over one and a half hours is fine. Remember, the die hard fans are not the target audience. You don't wanna bore new potential fans with the Lord of the Rings extended cut extravaganza. Pacing is important and I'd rather they cut out all the unnecessary fluff.

I think we're talking about different kinds of folks. It's one thing to travel to one concert (or even a couple if it's back-to-back) and combine that with some kind of trip or holiday. It's another thing to chase Maiden on their tour and see them 5, 10, 15 or even 20 times in various cities and...

That's definitely not a normal fan. Those are the super fans and are a tiny part of the overall fanbase. Doing something like that goes well beyond the scope of a "normal" fan, since it takes a lot of time and money.

Weaponize the unhinged ones. Say "We'd love to record an album, but we're being stalked and harassed by a group of people". Then watch a counter-group of fanatics stop the annoying ones from besieging the studio and the band. Maximum chaos.

Remember all those stupid "I did that!" Biden stickers that they plastered all over gas stations? What goes around comes around.

Unfortunately only bluesky posts, but they aren't from some random person. They're from a sitting US Senator. The shitshow is just beginning.

For me TFF has much weaker songwriting on average than the other reunion albums. Never liked Isle of Avalon (except the "fertility mother goddess" riff I guess), and songs like Coming Home or Mother of Mercy have a few cool sections, but quite a bit of stuff that doesn't resonate with me. TMWWBK...

Drummers deserve a little break and a dip in the pool.

Kinda funny stumbling over pictures from 2 years ago. I'm sure all Trump supporters are ecstatic looking at their bank account.

Here's Wasted Years a half step down played by Smith/Kotzen with Bruce as a guest. The combination of him being rested (not worn out on touring) + the half step: Sounds absolutely phenomenal.
