It’s one of my nominations. I like the ‘87 onwards Whitesnake, but I really dig some of the earlier stuff. Very difficult to choose which track to nominate between Trouble, Walking in the Shadow of the Blues, Love Ain’t no Stranger or Crying in the Rain but I’ve gone for WITSOTB.

Premier Inn Deansgate Locks. It has a large car park which is only £6 for 24 hours and is £54 with free cancellation. It’s a bit of a walk (25 mins) but a couple of bars on the way to break it up.

Manchester booked. Even booked the hotel for just £54. Result.

Hallowed is actually pretty heavy once you get past the intro. But overall I would go with Brighter Than A Thousand Suns.

Just revisiting the solo albums for the upcoming ranking competition and I'd forgotten just how much better and heavier the songs from Balls to Picasso sound on Alive in Studio A / Alive at the Marquee. Bruce and Co. definitely didn't make the best of that material.

Just watched the live stream of Saturday and similar with AC/DC. I’ve never heard Whole Lotta Rosie live without the crowd’s obligatory “Angus”, “Angus” between the opening riff. Just nothing from this crowd.

I’m always going to lean towards the rock-orientated stuff but I’m enjoying listening to so many of these bands I’ve never heard of. The shouty vocals put me off a lot of them, but I really liked that Celtic Frost track in this round. Plus I’ve already had some Gamma Ray on in the car this week...

I’ve got a few coming up that will stir the pot:bigsmile::bigsmile:

Agree on that. Loved that cover as a kid. My favourite wall poster.

The title track is obviously a classic, but the rest of Fear of the Dark is all a bit bland and uneventful to me. Whereas on NPFTD there were several songs I think are really good tracks, here I'd find it very difficult to rate the tracks in any order or preference. Even the singles aren't that...

I’ve a fondness for NPFTD as I was 13 when it came out and just properly getting into music. I’d got into Maiden by picking up a few of the ‘first ten years’ singles that had been rereleased earlier that year so it was the first ‘new’ album I could go out and buy that was currently relevant...

You’re defining me certainly there. There were a few heavier bands than Maiden on my list but most were more rock than metal. This competition (which seems like it will be amazing) will give us a good guide of the musical demographic of the forum, and I suspect that later on it will be the more...

Agree. It’s in my top 5 tracks.

I loved The Book Of Souls when released but it rarely gets a spin now. The title track is superb but the rest of it is all average by Maiden standards. All other albums I’d say my opinion hasn’t really changed.

It was £33.80 for 2 X 2 pint jugs at Manchester Arena. That was over a quid more expensive than at Epsom for the Derby a few weeks ago, and I believe is more expensive than the O2. I didn't bother , but that's simply ridiculous.

Submitted From the top of my head, I’m just looking forward to looking up and listening to a few things I’ve never heard of once this gets underway.

Saw Saxon last night in Blackburn. First time I’ve seen them live and they were excellent, helped by the fact it’s a really strong album they are touring. The Pilgrimage is a corker of a track.
