News Burning Ambition Documentary

I really liked it, and as some people said, it's hard to go into details through all the albums in 2 hours so I quite enjoyed what they did with making it about the fans and our connection with Maiden and why they're so special to many people all over the world. It was nice showing them going to Eastern Europe, South America and also fans from the Middle East or the Balkans. It made me think that I'm so grateful for having had this band in my life for so long and how they've helped me many times go through some hard shit as well.

I am also in need of a LOTB concert released professionally.

Rod seeing another Derek Riggs artwork before the debut album Eddie. I really wish they had shown the original mohawk Eddie picture.

Mohawk Eddie is curious to see, but maybe that artwork is similar. Maybe they don't have it, just Derek.

And by the way i think this movie was just money milking by Smallwood family and others. Does anyone know If Rod has some illness going on? His speech was half slower than before and slurred. Very unlikely that he was drunk when they interviewed him

I don't think so, but rather a slab of nepotism in involving family members, same as the band has done for a couple of decades now.

I think you are wrong on this. I dont have the physical CD anymore , but am 99% sure there was no drum solo there. Only guitar Solo by Dave. Cant find drum solo in YouTube versions either

Just checked, you're right its not, it should have been in the outro, as it was on other dates on that tour.
 
Why is the documentary shown in Germany a week later?

The Metal Hammer podcast review said it was good overall, but I thought it raised a surprising number of criticisms.

According to the review, the Judas Priest documentary does a better job of explaining where the music and the band come from, and of sparking an interest in it even if you’re not already particularly into metal.
Another point of criticism was that the band members are never shown when they’re speaking. No problem for die-hard fans, but strange and confusing for other viewers.
The Metal Hammer editor-in-chief suspects that these interviews weren’t originally intended for the film at all, but were only done for the book.

Then – according to his theory – the original exclusive focus on the fans was changed, which is why these band member quotes were included.
The portrayal of the fans is in his opinion now too superficial and too brief.

An animation of Eddie shown at the beginning was also found to be very strange, even disturbing, and its meaning unclear (Eddie falling from space to Earth?)

First thing I heard about the documentary that wasn't a rumour was that the documentary was about fans. That’s almost two years ago now I believe. It's quite possible they changed the focus quite a bit since then.
 
I’ve been stuck in bed sick for almost three years. I won't be able to watch it in cinemas. Any ideas on whether it would be available in any other format / streaming services?
 
I think the documentary was entertaining and good. Didn't really offer any new info for me but I didn't expect that anyways.

No, that’s it. You will never ever have the opportunity to ever see it again. It’s being destroyed after one week in mostly-empty cinemas.
