Or he could just sing it down the octave.

I like the Mandrake Project. There isn’t a song I dislike. My major gripe with the album is the compilation nature of it. You can clearly hear at least 3 versions of Bruce. 2024 post-cancer Bruce with a lisp. 2013 Bruce Pre-2000 Bruce I just find it jarring to hear his voice get younger as...

His drumming on that album is outrageously good. Born as a Stranger is a masterclass in metal drumming.

Do you think he would be scared of what he could find?

The Book of Souls (obviously) The Great Unknown (top 10 Iron Maiden chorus) If Eternity Should Fail Shadows of the Valley The Red and the Black (live version is better) Speed of Light The rest…

I was going through some old FC magazines and this photo was on the back of one of them. It’s a great shot of H with his Sunburst strat with the Roland synth pickup.

I would like to see him on tour next year if I get the chance.

Reading Festival 2005. I had an amazing time and the band were on fire. I will always defend that setlist. I thought it was perfect for representing their Early Days. There was also the added bonus of buying Death on the Road the following day. Seeing Maiden on a Sunday night and buying their...

I see your Infinite Dreams, and I raise you any performance of Hallowed and Aces High from the last two years. He is still a world class singer, but I wish he would adapt to his aging voice better. Ironically, I preferred him altering the melodies at Knebworth. His lower and mid range is so...

I’m sorry, but I am with @GhostofCain on this issue (as with most things!). Bruce is the weakest link at the moment. Not Simon.

I do understand. But Eddie wouldn’t have lived long if the music was shit.

It’s similar to being treated like a toddler.

Maiden have been ramping up their licensing with products a lot in the last few years. This is the natural next step. License their name out to a big company who can slap it on anything they want. Also, if the Infinite Dreams experience was their handiwork, I don’t have high hopes. It wasn’t...

Just reflecting on Eddfest, can we have Phantom and Powerslave every tour please?

Don’t forget Dave using Crate Amps in 1992! That always seemed a bit odd to me.

Aces High was as expected. I was leaving during FOTD but he sounded ok. 2MTM sounded good to my ears.

Despite my usual criticisms of Bruce and song selections, I was completely rooting for him. I uttered the phrase ‘Come on, Bruce’ multiple times in my own little way of showing my support. He handled it like a complete pro. It’s tough to see one of your idols struggling with illness and the...

If 50k isn’t as much as previous festivals, remember there was only one stage where bands were playing on the day. People were not spread out over multiple stages. For the size of the arena, it was packed.

Well I ended up with a ticket and really enjoyed myself. I also couldn’t believe how busy it was. Getting there was crazy. We had a Car Parking pass but ended up getting the train due to the traffic around the venue. If we had gone by car, we would’ve probably missed The Darkness and nearly...
