Wonder if there's a mods only splinter forum. Who polices the police over there? Never considered the social experiment angle. Could be. Maybe they start new profiles in here and troll their enemies. What would they make of the progress, I wonder? The place certainly seems less vitriolic than...

It's weird. I thought England were the better team in the first half. Argentina were dirty. One yellow card when they should have had about 5, possibly a red for 2 yellows. And then England score. Instantly from the kick off the pattern was set. After the game Tuchel said he went with 5 at the...

Well yeah, of course there's differences. The point of the discussion is people's opinion and tolerance of the differences. People criticised them for slowing down when Nicko was still around and they're critising the new drummer now. It's valid. I've not mentioned tempos, it's the feel and...

I dunno, if you watched the 2 clips you'd easily notice a difference, degree or no. It's the importance of the difference that's the subjective issue.

Hoping for some drama and entertainment tonight. Last few games have been dull. Last fun game I remember was Mexico England. I hope the refs/FIFA don't fuck about though. Let's have it fair, you fucks. France limped out and Spain have underwhelmed their way to the final. Boring team but I...

The Red-crested Pochard and The Black Scoter One for the Duckerati, maybe

Well, aaaaaactually, when I posted in here your thread was 26mins old and the other was 35 or something, sooooo, like, suck it baby:ninja::nana:

I've seen Simon 4 times with Maiden and while I'm generally accepting of the new Maiden cos they're still great, there are moments. Each gig, two or 3 times, usually in transition, things fall flat in a way I've never noticed before (except 2006). And it sounds and feels like Simon to me...

The vaults chat recently had me thinking about this and I wondered how much interest the band would have in releasing stuff, what interest would Steve or Rod have in finding and fine tuning the best things from the archives. So I'm with you on this. That vested interest could be key in giving...

Yah, I think we're cut from similar cloth in that these words and notions don't sit well with me either. I'm trying not to be an old man shouting at clouds. It's the way of the world and so long as it doesn't effect the real stuff, the music and the shows then I can absolutely ignore the rest...

You paint a grim, corporate, sickeningly commercial picture in previous posts and yah, it all makes sense and if it were any other band I'd probably agree wholeheartedly. But I dunno, it's Maiden. I'm sure they love coin as much as the next band but I honestly can't see Pophouse telling them...

I knew you were alright, despite what they say :D :rocker:

I really can't argue with any of that but I'm just having strange, alien thoughts today, things I've never considered. 70yr old me might be happy with any kind of night out at some kind of Maiden event. Probably be happy with watching Rock In Rio on a big tv, in fairness.

I can't in a month on Sundays believe that Pophouse will pick songs for an Iron Maiden setlist. In terms of hologram tours. They've always instinctively made my skin crawl. And I made a joke about it earlier but honestly, in say 20yrs, I'd probably go to a Maiden one. Never thought about it...

Makes sense, in fairness. I'm just a sucker for more versions of Running Free really.

I lean to the side of optimism on this and like the quote Snarf posted, it's a turbo charge, not a retirement aid. Fingers crossed anyway. In terms of a money grab, yeah, maybe they are super hungry for extra cash but also they employ a lot of people, friends and family, I guess. This could...

What troubles you, mon amigo? I think it could be exciting, some good events and releases as we slide fully into the final stages of active Maiden. I certainly think it's better than passing the rights on to strangers post retirement. To add, all this is flavoured by the fact that I'm...

Sold!

There's another thread. Don't divide the streams, never divide the streams aaahhhhh!!!!

I certainly don't want to see a Maiden hologram show. Not until they are all cold in the ground and by that stage I'd probably pay top dollar to have a taste of The Good Old Days :lol:
