em...Trump is president, COVID and fires everywhere, all year -> imploded

No need to be snarky about it...I was only clarifying the comment ;)

Yeah, me too, but that's the only 'once before' I can think of, in terms of what's been released

Probably referring to this one?

Wild Wind, En Vivo is littered with them: Timings taken from: 1:32 - Bruce looks in the mirror 1:58 - Adrian trails the rhythm (2:33, 2:50, 3:22) - Bend/vibrato on last chord of the bar 3:07 - "They tell us...." 3:44 - Nicko, then "Hey! Hey! Hey" (4:41 - 4:59) (5:18 - 5:36) (5:36 - 5:55) -...

I've always found the second verse of "Die With Your Boots On", Maiden England '88, to be so utterly epic. The guitars sound so big - Adrian doing a double accent type thing on each chord creates a kind of 'high end wail' in the mix. Love Bruce's vocals. Nicko grooving, with lovely fills. It all...

The poor letters in those sentences don't know where they should be.

It might have been quicker just to have a single question - "What is your favourite album?" Although tongue in cheek, questions in the line of "Are you a "Can I Play With Madness" or a "Flight of Icarus"?" is a bit too silly. Also, my favourite time wasn't listed. I've always had a thing for...

Are we still talking about things that annoy us?

That is one hell of a guitar sound in the intro (during the cowbell solo). Dave I assume?

I know what you mean about 'other people singing' - in my experience screaming. I saw Maiden in Twickenham 2008, and I was up in the nosebleeds. The 2 teenage girls beside me insisted on screaming after every song. It was that high pitched ear wrenching inappropriate scream that had no benefit...

I absolutely agree. And I have no issue with the audience giving it socks - unless it affects me negatively of course. But it is a case of each to their own, and it would be silly to say that you enjoyed a gig more than some one else because you sweated more than them!

I don't get this attitude. Im an intravert, so never headbang/sing/jump/mosh. I usually stand back at the sound desk for good sound and watch the guitar playing as much as possible. This may look 'lackluster', but it doesn't mean im not a true fan. Then again, maybe im just getting old!

So we all agree then...Maiden are awesome
