Yup. He admitted that he was inspired by Richie, who is a master improviser and he now improvises 80% of the Smith/Kotzen solos live and it seems that some of that has crept into Maiden performances. Especially this year. Agree on the Wasted Years riff/rest of the song tempo part. The riff is...

Watching this compilation Adrian seems very animated, especially during RTTH chorus and actually running on stage during some songs. I laughed at Bruce's "Shall we dance?" during 2MTM after almost crashing with Janick 20 seconds before. They raised the tempo of Aces High that only adds to the...

It seems like the new signature Strat is now a designated Powerslave guitar for Janick. Played again yesterday on that song.

The next bridge was not a stock Fender bridge. Maybe the base of it, but at least the saddles are brass. They look like Charvel ones. But yeah, it seems that since the retirement, the original bridge is back minus the tremolo arm, which is not original.

Best footage of Janick's new signature Strat on stage. As I said before, the middle pickup seems to be changed for Hot Rails, otherwise it looks completely stock. This seemed to be the test run for this guitar, as you can see Janick going to Alan again and again presumably to adjust the guitar...

They did those? Anyways, they look similar to the Kahler ones and mount behind the nut. Do we have any info for how long the Rockinger bridge was on ghe Kossoff before they put the Charvel strat bridge on?

Kahler nut, I mean. Not the Kahler tremolo system...

That "Are you sure?" at the beginning is pure gold.

Gotta be that 1984 Italy drunk gig that featured Hallowed Be Thy Trainwreck. Apparently that gig prompted the band to never dring before going on stahe again.

Dave: Kossoff Stratocaster, 1964 Black Stratocaster, Cream FR Classic Stratocaster/California Series Strat (3rd place tie) Janick: Original 1964 black Stratocaster, Blackie (1964 replica), White Spirit Strat Adrian: 1972 Les Paul Goldtop Deluxe, Original 1986 Jackson Superstrat, Black 1984...

"You are old. Shouldn't you rest your voice a bit more?" "Nah, fuck that. I'll be fine."

Anyways, here is Janick playing the new signature 50th anniversary strat in Bratislava on Powerslave. I was wrong, it isn't reliced (during Powerslave, I pay more attention to the other 2 guitarists...). It seems to be completely stock, except they changed the middle pickup with black Hot...

Maybe, but I think the layout of RFYL was clear from day one. Having 2027 off could be a compromise, so some members signed the plans off. The clearest thing in the whole situation is that there were no plans for 2027 at that point and there still might be none. But I think they will have a...

Then, the original neck was Kahlered...

I think that it's not a democratic vote if somebody vetoes a tour. I think the original plan for 2026 was to be shorter, but in exchange for adding 2nd Euro leg, they agreed to take 2027 off. Also, they might have some kind of internal deal of how many shows per year they would do.

Adrian, Bruce and Steve want to tour with Maiden. I'm 99% sure of that. If that's not possible, they will tour with their side projects. The problem is what do the other two guys want. And nobody, except the inner circle knows that. I'm sure that the 2027 touring hiatus was some kind of...

Knowing how they operate, I think they might make a decision during the course of this tour. That's the timeframe when TFP and RFYL were envisioned (2022 and 2024, both mid previous tour). However, this time they might just determine a meeting date or studio time next year. Or maybe a deadline...

Doubt it. They would do what Rush did with R40. Everybody knew, but it wasn't marketed.

I think if certain members are against extesive touring, the David Gilmour route is the one to go. 4-5 shows in 5-8 cities aroubd the world. Cut down the travel. I do think that there are no plans after this tour, except for a Bruce solo one and that's why he says I'll see you again instead of we.

I think they had a chat after the crash landings in Bucharest and cleared some things up. It showed. Also, Simon seems much more relaxed and is playing with a flow.
