As @Revelationer mentioned, Dream Of Mirrors. The lyrics were (at least in part?) written by Blaze. They bought the writing credits off him. True! The concept is pretty cool. Some of the music ideas in that song are somewhat interesting as well, unfortunately the whole disappoints.

I'm obviously biased, since VXI is my favorite album, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: Trying to be as objective as possible, to me no other pair of albums (with the obvious exception of Iron Maiden/Killers) is as similar songwriting wise as VXI and BNW are. Which shouldn't be too...

Definitely! I also really love some of the lyrics: They're saving the souls by taking your money Flies around shit, bees around honey I've lived in filth, I've lived in sin And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in Maiden's writing on NPFTD has gotten a lot of criticisms over the...

Remember how the right always talks about the "leftist mainstream media" and their "narratives"? Well, turns out we now know that CBS at the very least pressures its journalists to lie and change their reporting to push Trump's agenda: As always, every accusation is a confession.

Things are "un-Maiden" until they become Maiden. Rime had several minutes of a quiet interlude, that was unprecedented for early Maiden. CSIT introduced the guitar synths, which was "un-Maiden" at that time. Face In The Sand has the double bass pedal, If Eternity Should Fail is in Drop D, Empire...

Sooo, at what point do we collectively decide to skip the correct answer, even if someone knows it, and to just drag it out as much as possible? :D

Darkest Hour

I'm willing to pay him 5€ for that recording. Only a fool would pass up this opportunity :D

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the in-game hints to catch the three Regi Pokémon (Regice, Registeel, Regirock) where literally given in Braille. I don't remember if the Braille alphabet was provided in the booklet of the game or if you had to look it up another way.

The final part of the FFVII remake trilogy was announced at Summer Games Fest. It's called Revelation and will launch in less than a year from now, Spring 2027!

I actually looked it up, I have a file on my phone where I already reviewed 8 out of the 11 songs (the version that includes One Heart). I last touched it September 18 2025... Yikes o_O:bigsmile:

I didn't see them in 18/19 so I don't know how the banter was back then. And no worries, I'm not blaming him for being less mobile. He had a new hip or something back then. I just remember there being a lot of talk that the first shows after 3 years of no concerts felt somewhat understated...

Yeah, I can see that. Maybe I focused too much on Nicko and Adrian when I wrote the previous comment. The band clearly had to shake off some rust when they started LOTB 2022. Steve was a bit muted, while Bruce was probably the most notable. His timing issues on RTTH are no secret, but even...

All opinions are valid, as long as they praise Virtual XI. Everyone who disagrees shall have Blaze whisper "don't you think I could save you?" in their ears whenever they are trying to fall asleep, for all eternity. Amen. :D

El Dorado

True, but to me he stood out even more on RFYL. During TFP Adrian in particular was much more cautious and stressed, trying to communicate with Nicko to deal with the tempos. During RFYL Adrian was beaming and even joking around with the audience.

While I loved TFP as a tour concept, you could feel the tension because of Nicko's health issues, how they had to deal with changes and Bruce's timing issues as well. If I had to compare the three most recent Maiden shows I saw, it'd be: RFYL 2025 >>> LOTB 2022 > TFP 2023 This isn't based on...

Fascinating, thanks for the info! Is that fan the only known person with access to it? Do Maiden have that recording in their vault?

Do you know what the audio quality of said recording is? Not that we'll ever get to see/hear it, but would be interesting to know.

I'll be on quite the long train rides on saturday and sunday. I'll use the time to really dive into the new album. ... and I'm noticing that I still haven't posted my review for Theories Of Emptiness. Whoops lol
