@Diesel 11 - thanks for spending the time to organize this countdown. I've been (gradually) diving into Blaze's solo career over the past couple of years, and this has been really helpful. On a semi-related note - I'm old fashioned and like making mix CD's for long car rides. Here's what I...

I saw Blaze Bayley at the Rockpile in Toronto last night. Another great show (he did the meet & greet before the set). Great energy and crowd interaction. My only complaint was the set list was very similar to the show he did here two years ago (if I counted correctly, 11 of the 15 songs he...

Have there been any updates on when their second album will be released?

The 2019 North American tour dates have just been released: "After several delays, we are delighted to finally confirm our shows for North America this Spring. The schedule focuses principally this time on the Eastern side, but also includes a west coast area exclusive, returning by popular...

"Public Enema Number One" / "Fates Warning" / "The Assassin". None of them are offensively bad, but they're all forgettable.

Even though the 2019 North American tour hasn't been announced yet (as far as I can tell), tickets are now available for Blaze's show at the Rockpile in Etobicoke (western suburb of Toronto) on Friday May 10th. Tickets are $30 including service charges - I just bought mine.

My top two picks have been mentioned several times - "Made in Japan" and "Live and Dangerous". A good choice that hasn't been mentioned yet - King Crimson's "Absent Lovers". It practically renders their three 1980s albums irrelevant - the songs are played with so much more passion and energy...

Agreed - the pit at Budweiser Stage can hold 250 people at most. Pit tickets appear to be sold out for Saturday, but still available for Friday.

Absolutely you can. I just bought tickets to three different shows using the same presale code. Just remember you have a limit of 4 tickets per show. Most of the tickets are being sold on Ticketmaster, but there are a few exceptions (Montreal is one, I believe Philadelphia is another - it was...

For sure. I'm going to make a long weekend out of it - probably come in on Friday and head back to Toronto on Tuesday.

I had good luck with my orders this morning: 1 floor ticket for Montreal 2 excellent seats in Toronto on the 9th (6th row, dead centre) - going with my 18 year old cousin who's never seen Maiden before 3 fairly good seats in Toronto on the 10th (5th row, towards stage right) - going with two...

Last year I paid $123 (CAD) for good seats at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, and $128 (USD) for floors at the Wells Fargo centre in Philadelphia.

I've always had the same problem with The Clairvoyant. For Phantom - I hold down the 14th fret of the D and G strings with my index finger, then I use my pinky to push down on the 16th fret of G on the third/final beat of each gallop. (I do the same thing when the riff descends). It's still...

I'm pretty sure it will be Montreal and both Toronto dates for me.

Eight dates in Canada! I'll probably do both shows in Toronto, and the one in Montreal.

I do - I'll post them later on. I was really excited to meet him after waiting in the cold & rain for over an hour. But thinking back, I feel somewhat bad - he looked pretty tired and I'm sure I wouldn't want to be accosted by strangers at 12:30 AM either. Although I recognize I being selfish -...

Officially there are no meet & greets on this tour. @harrisdevot and I may have had some luck in finding him after the show (while debating how stalking laws work in Canada)...

I went to the British Lion show in Toronto last night - it was a great experience. It was my first time at the Great Hall (a smaller venue - it has a capacity of 400-500, and it didn't look like it was close to selling out). The biggest negative? The bar closed right after the set ended, and we...

Children of the damned?

It looks like the Toronto show has been moved from the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (capacity - 1,250) to The Great Hall (capacity - 480). I've been checking Ticketmaster and it looked like the seats just weren't selling (I don't think more than 250-300 or so). I've never been to The Great Hall, but...
