    True, the silence of certain groups and individuals speaks volumes about their true motivations on this issue.

    Ed Hunter

    My curiosity got the better of me and I decided to install and try Ed Hunter, the game launches to the main menu but on trying to start a game it immediately crashes, I don't suppose anyone else has managed to run the game on modern hardware? I have tried compatibility mode too but when trying...

    USA Politics

    If the video of this incident had been filmed at a protest in Iran rather than in the US, most everyone in the West would be using it as evidence of a barbarous and authoritarian regime. Unfortunately due to deeply entrenched political tribalism, the more dedicated MAGAheads are making fools of...

    USA Politics

    True, but those who are deeply invested in the conspiracy theory that Trump is literally on the payroll of Putin will not brook any evidence to the contrary. Even when Trump's US has just unilaterally taken out a key Russian ally in Maduro, implicitly supported the overthrow of Assad last year...

    USA Politics

    Morals aside, events of the last few days prove something that anyone who pays attention should already know. Might makes right and the farce that is 'international law' is merely something that powerful countries can use as a casus belli to bludgeon those that are weaker.

    So much for Nicko remaining a member of the band

    It is probably the biggest TV show around right now, previous seasons featured Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush and Master of Puppets (although these two tracks were given slightly bigger 'set pieces' to show them off than The Trooper in this instance) and both songs had a massive boost in...

    News IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    Seems like this was a popular gift for Maiden fans this year, I got a copy too and it is excellent, great content but also high quality and nicely presented.

    The 75% figure comes from a threat update given by MI5 in October 2024: https://www.mi5.gov.uk/director-general-ken-mccallum-gives-latest-threat-update There was a similar address given in October of this year but as far as I can tell it does not provide a percentage breakdown, so I am making...

    Worldwide Politics

    The fact that people with such an ideology are present and posing a threat in Western and Anglosphere countries in such large numbers is proof that the threat has not been taken seriously enough up until now, it is and always has been an entirely avoidable problem. For instance in Britain it is...

    Bruce Dickinson

    The headline makes it sound like Bruce has had his own roof done.

    This is true, especially as a lot of big artists will now release a huge variety of colour variants etc. when they bring out a new album (often as they know the hardcore fans will buy multiple or even all of them). I have read and listened to a few pieces stating that this can actually be a...

    Because anyone buying vinyl is not buying it just to listen to the music, which is essentially free nowadays, but as a collector's piece. Therefore, the prices are jacked up to extort as much as possible out of the buyer, especially with anniversary re-issue type scenarios.

    Sabaton

    The show at London was great, cheesy, ridiculous and brilliant in equal measure. I am now very interested to see what reception the historical figures got in different countries, safe to say Napoleon seems to have been better received in France than he was in Britain. :bigsmile:

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    If you are trying to get 100,000 people or thereabouts to make the effort to travel to a muddy field somewhere then in my opinion the lineup has to be of an equivalent stature to that of a major festival main stage day. As others have said, band availability can make this very difficult...

    I remember this circulating around as a 'leaked new Maiden track' around the lead-up to Book of Souls :lol:

    Sabaton

    A lot of self-'inspiration' as others have mentioned but all in all the new album is an enjoyable listen, not many tracks on there would make my greatest hits of Sabaton but it mostly maintains a 7-8/10 level and the switch up in theme after the back to back WW1 albums is also welcome.

    General Iron Maiden discussion

    The first track I was able to play all the way through was actually If Eternity Should Fail, pretty simple song, maybe because Bruce composed the guitar parts on the demo himself. The Clairvoyant is also pretty straightforward and contains a mid-paced gallop which you can use to build speed for...

    European Politics

    I visited Vilnius last year (fantastic city by the way) and whilst there I visited the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights, which is housed in the former KGB headquarters. It was both striking and chilling seeing the Soviet torture chambers and execution room there, with the bullet holes...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Something to do with 'covid bubbles' as I recall, it was during that fairly nonsensical period where we were half-in, half-out of lockdown in the UK and the rules seemed to change on a weekly basis. I am sure I had seen a video from Justin on his channel clarifying he had no beef with Iron...
