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

    Steve with BL the other day. He usually uses the blue spider bass, right. Maybe an outing for the Maiden tour?

    Favorite 80's Maiden album opener?

    It should be Aces High, what song. Tempo, riffs, melodies, solos and chorus. CSIT is up there too, what a special way to open the album. As for the others: Prowler is a perfect opener for the first 2 albums (love it), Ides sets the mood, Eagles' drumming is just amazing (powerful), Moonchild...

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    I assume they'll use some footage from the 2025 Paris shows and other (outdoor) shows as usual ( :S ). As for the setlist, maybe they could change one song, after all Bruce dropped one of his toughest songs during his solo tour last year. I'm thinking Aces (they want such a version on a...

    Nicko McBrain

    The Knebworth show is special with the inclusion of Blaze and everything, so who knows. He probably really wants to play with the band again, even a couple of songs. Maybe that's also why his solo dates are in September. Let's wait and see if they eventually record in the studio with him. In...

    NOW PLAYING

    Their tradition with the album covers is so cool - and their upcoming new album Aurora is one of their best in terms of colors and theme, imo. Well Steve and Bruce like the band, Bruce was talking about a Yes-like intro part to a new solo song. Curious...

    Flor De Loto - Eclipse (feat. Roy Z) New guest appearance from Roy, he also mixed the song. The production sounds similar to his recent ones, maybe with a bit more power. The flute touch is really cool, great Maiden-esque longer melody and 2 shorter solos from Roy (very solid ones), his...

    Interesting cover, the colors work really well, but it would have been even better with one central figure.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    They are really awesome live and the production looks classy. I like that Kai sometimes sings some parts of some songs live, like Future World or Twilight Of The Gods. Well...the classics from these albums and the other eras will always be forefront.

    NOW PLAYING

    Pantera - The Art Of Shredding One of the most notable thrash metal songs, big fan of the heavy riffs (the production is perfect for them, you won't get the same feel with a modern sound), the intro sets the mood really well. I would like such heaviness in at least one song on every album.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    https://blabbermouth.net/features/andi-deris-is-the-mvp-of-helloweens-historic-reunion-its-incredible-what-weve-achieved-by-sticking-together Nice interview with Andi. Some curious stuff: how do they choose the setlists: ''We decide as a band. We have a band list, a management list and a fan...

    Tailgunner (UK band)

    So far - 2 killer and great albums, very strong live band. I'm a big fan. If there's one band that could have a Maiden/Priest future, for me it's them.

    What do they have in the Video vault?

    Niiiice. It's not one of my favorite tours at all, but it's good to finally hear and see some of the solos better and the better camera work. Seventh Son with a backdrop, Adrian playing WY's intro faster, Bruce with a stronger performance in 2012 (at the end of the dates) than in 2013.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    First official live video from the tour, one of the (popular) rare cuts. That's how you do it...! Idk if they'll release another live show so soon (from the previous 2 tours were released), so them continuing to release live songs is great. The sound is better than last time, and the footage...

    Judas Priest - Fire Burns Below From the '88 sessions. It would have been a nice/setting the mood ballad-y piece (and for that era) - instead of trying to write a longer ''Defenders Of The Faith'' in the form of ''Monsters Of Rock'' for example (or the cover, ofc). Love the acoustic string...

    Induction feat. Kai Hansen - Gods Of Steel (live 2026) No studio version? Straight from the Gamma Ray's textbook. The chorus work really well. The band makes very good power metal, their music with Tailgunner's vocalist Craig is also worthy of praise, classic power metal writing.

    Maiden soundalikes

    This actually sounds like a Bruce solo song, from the his ''Trilogy''. Good job. It's also if Maiden got heavier in the 90s, very nice to hear. Simon will like such style. All the songs and albums shared here are enjoyable, Maiden influenced and in vocals can't be mistaken.

    One thing that I don't understand (reunion vs. 1980s & early 90s)

    I don't understand it either (even more than the ''live in the studio'' approach), especially with 3 guitars. I think Steve really changed his writing style around 1995. Maybe he always wanted more prog rock with melodies (long intros and outros too, ofc) than classic harmonies and their 80s...

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    Maybe Nicko will make a guest appearance live this year? He's announced a short solo tour in September. Knebworth would be perfect. He said he would do it if the band play near him. Playing Wasted Years, ofc.

    Maiden soundalikes

    Very 80s Maiden, plus a little early 2000s vibe. The gallop never gets old! Well done, Dark Forest. Thanks for sharing. Love the harmonies, classic stuff.
