*of the Peace

Thanks again for putting together a tracklist that works and flows well! It's the only way I listen to it nowadays.

I just built the tracklist on my iPod, so no, there's no version that has those songs embedded into it. I based mine on one built by @Jeffmetal I believe, though I may reorganize it again in the near future. Currently, it runs like this: 1) Sign of the Cross 2) Lord of the Flies 3) Man on the...

I've been listening to The X Factor as a 14-track album with those included for years now to help with the dirgey mood and sometimes sluggish pacing.

A friend of mine went wearing an AoB shirt, but he's a relatively new fan. I don't really wear band shirts anymore, so I just went in a Skeletor shirt. B) Brilliant show, though, exceeded all my expectations for it. Bruce sounded excellent, the band were on fire and looking like they were...

Yep, Florida anytime of the year has the potential to suck hard. I went there in late October thinking we were golden going to Disney. Ninety plus degrees, high, high humidity...effing miserable!

Yep, I mentioned on here years ago that Justice of the Peace is the thematic precursor to what became Age of Innocence. It's an okay song, but yeah, I could do without the "old man complaining about the state of things with his old mates at breakfast" vibe those songs give off.

We could've had an interesting new era, one that would've undoubtedly continued the groundwork laid by the proggier nature of The X Factor, one pushed into different directions than the one we got thanks to the songwriting contributions of the new singer. I'm sure the most vital aspect was that...

Since they're sticking with these multi-year tours, I agree, a more versatile setlist is what they should be doing. Excitement goes down on the second leg of a tour with the same setlist, obviously, but that can be tempered by swapping out a fair amount of songs on each leg. Then there are the...

Mainly because--looking at RFYL and a possible latter half of the career followup--they'd be quite flagrantly ignoring the Blaze era as if it wasn't important. Fans understandably would jump all over that, just like loads complained that No Prayer was omitted from RFYL. Realistically, though...

Or, as I've said before, go hybrid again. New album + 1995-Senjutsu, + obligatory classics in the encore. It won't leave a ton of room for new songs, especially with the average length of reunion era songs. The consensus around here, at least, is that a 1995-Senjutsu set wouldn't sell nearly as...

Yep. Nicko wanted to get the eff outta there! :D

Great to hear--I'm seeing him Sunday in St. Paul, and my beaten-up body needed a kick in the butt to start getting pumped about the show!

I totally agree. I know Maiden's Steve's baby, but if he's not feeling up to it creatively or doesn't want the stress, I don't see the problem with letting the others do the heavy lifting on a new album. Bruce and Adrain could easily come up with some great collabs, and Janick's a great...

The story is, Nicko went to Steve with some soundboard tapes near the end of the tour, and basically showed him how well (or not) Blaze was singing. Steve notoriously doesn't have the best hearing, so I imagine Nicko played it for him assuming Steve thought everything was fine live. If I had to...

The first three are pretty solid, I think. TMWWNT had some good stuff, and some filler. I cannot for the life of me get into anything on Promise and Terror, but others love it. King of Metal, like I said, was the low point. Since hooking up with Absolva, it's been good, but not as consistently...

Well, your original post didn't say anything about post-reunion documentation, just live documentation in general. If you were meaning post-reunion, it's mostly the standard ones with Di'Anno: Wrathchild, Sanctuary, IM, maybe one or two more, and then the Di'Anno-heavy opening to the RFYL show...

He changed to Blaze Bayley after his entire original band left, and he had to get a new band. He rationalized the name change because he said people didn't know he was doing any new music under the rather vague Blaze name, and things improved after the name change for a while. There was also...

There's quite a bit of well documented Bruce takes on the Di'Anno era, but yep, only a handful from the Blaze era: Iron Maiden (obviously every live album) Prowler (ARDO, re-recorded in studio) Charlotte the Harlot (re-recorded in studio) Killers (Maiden England) Phantom of the Opera (Live...

13. No Prayer for the Dying: There's some good material here, so it was hard to put it this low in the ranking. I suppose it was down to there being nothing truly outstanding that gave it this spot in the end. 14. Piece of Mind: Like others, I'm not preferential to their "golden age." It of...
