    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Also, 8431, 8432 and 8475 prototypes's serial numbers were only distinguished from an Ovation photo in 2016 which featured guitar cases with serial numbers. We know that for the first leg of SBIT, H still had Fenders as backups to 1st prototypes. Before the 2nd leg he got the 2nd batch. It's...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    This guitar is gloss white, while the 8431 prototype is matte white. Could be one of the prototypes, but definitely not the first (8431).

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    No. The original neck of the 8431 prototype was smashed on stage in Freiburg 2018 at the end of Iron Maiden and replaced with a new production neck. That guitar is still on tour and can be seen in the rack. The 8431 and 8432 prototypes can easily be distinguished from other Jacksons, because...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Well, there is a lot of layers to that. It's more about the fact that FMIC failed to trademark it in 2009, mainly due to Edward whos company EVH is ironically a part of FMIC. And the current Fender company did create nothing and so didn't CBS. As I said, layers. And to forcefully try to stop...

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    I think Bruce even expressed regret for using the word "Greek" in recent times and stated that it was out of order from him. IIRC he said that he should've just called him a cunt.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Fender started attacking small builders building S-type guitars, despite the strat body being an official public domain since 2009 (there was an lawsuit then and Fender was denied the patent on body style). In short, a dick move. If that is the reason for Adrian playing Lados only, my respect...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Sadly, I think low. Tony Newton is the most likely candidate. AFAIK Pooch mixed all of the Linkin Park live recordings whem they were releasing them to their fanclub when he worked for them.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Well, there is the FMIC lawsuit against small builders that has cost FMIC a good chunk of their reputation. It's not just that H is using the new one as the main guitar, as it's the new toy... The fact that he swapped the Drop D Jacksons with the old Silverburst Lado is quite telling. I think...

    Or the constant growing and shrinking of Bruce's hair during the LOTB live video.

    Nah. They should have someone. He edited the Maiden England video, tho.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    The thing is that most of YouTubers nowadays have better editors than Maiden which is mind boggling. How a corporation like this puts out videos so poorly edited is beyond me. The less said about the video editing on Live Chapter, the better. Also it's completely plausible that they will fuck...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Man, Bruce's voice is fucked at this point. FOTD is one of the easier songs in the set (apart from the DiAnno era stuff) and he is just struggling after Aces High. "But, but it has a cool video and we can't drop it..."

    It is his main guitar. However, we'll see how things develop during the course of the tour.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    That's true. On H's the neck pickup has one row of screw polepieces and one row of flat pole pieces, while the bridge pickup looks like 2 rows of hex polepieces. No Seymour Duncan logo. And yeah, the switch on H's is on lower horn, because he found it difficult to play tapping on the old ones...

    Loads of last year's footage. If the DVD is edited like this... Oh boy.

    Yup, that's a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge position. Hex screws on both coils. Neck pickup looks like Paf 36th anniversary.

    If someone sees a photo on which the bridge pickup cqn be seen, please post it.
