The last basque beer I drank was very special (in a very bad way) and disgusting : it was filled with yeast, a lot of yeast... I hope this one is not like the previous one...

Which Basque beer was that one?

I can't remember the name, but that's my parents who buyed it for me.

I have sampled many different Basque beers over the years and most were pretty good, hence my curiosity.

I don't remember exactly if it was Eguzki or Hizketa. But, it was one of them and the beer was yuk...

Thanks. I have not tried any of those beers. Something to look forward to when I visit the Basque Country again later this month.

I will put something that is in Greek! Since you can see the link in English as well!

According with Blabbermouth. He'd like to write a book about the early days at some point . So West Ham days and his time there is most than assured

btw Just I hope the Croatian guy isn't involved in this.

Meanwhile Ian Hill is not interested in write an autobiography because he's in the Rob and Ken's book. I was there, you know …Laaaaaaaazy man!

Mission From ’Arry: How Iron Maiden turned a sweary argument into the funniest metal “song” ever

Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris and drummer Nicko McBrain had a farcical falling out during a 1983 tour. When they found out Bruce Dickinson recorded it, they decided it’d fit perfectly onto 2 Minutes To Midnight’s b-side.

Finally this interview from 2006 has been found again.

Bruce, Nicko and Steve are big fans of AMOLAD album. They view it as a 70's prog album.

Favorite album covers of the band:

Steve - Somewhere In Time.
Bruce - Powerslave.
Nicko - Somewhere In Time.
Adrian - Brave New World.
Dave - Powerslave (with SIT on close second).
Janick - he likes all of them.

Bruce is not crazy about FOTD cover, while Steve and Nicko are not fans of NPFTD cover.

Bruce called TFF an embarrassment

 

[Vaenyr]

I’d just joined the band in 1982, and Flight Of Icarus was the first single off The Number Of The Beast.

Interesting information there by Nicko lol Or is this a British/regional thing and "off" in this case means "since"?

while Steve and Nicko are not fans of NPFTD cover.

I agree with them as well. I like NPFTD as an album quite a bit but that iteration of Eddie is far too ugly in my opinion. Just like the A Real Live One Eddie as well. The 90's were not kind on our boy.

No he just got the album wrong. Off means what you originally thought it meant, that it came off that album.

I think Maidens next theme for their new album could be something Shakespearean. Something around the lines of Julius Caesar maybe.

I would prefer something more medieval. We never saw Eddie clothed with a knight's armor, it could be cool to see that.

"Which is your favourite colour?"
Janick: Deep Purple

Eddie as King Arthur maybe? That would make for an amazing concept album.

On that tour they could finally play Isle of Avalon.
