As far as I know, splitting the pit in two parts is the genral rule. You really need to go there early to get that bracelet. Then, be patient, and you will be able to slowly progress to the stage, taking advantage of those who go and buy a beer or go to the toilets. That's my tactics at Maiden gigs.

During BL gig the day before he he repeatedly gave advices/instructions to his bandmates. It looks as if he is not yet fully satisfied with how things are going.

Good reviews, that mentions the few timing mistakes committed by Bruce and Steve's miscontent about it.

I was so pleased to meet Doug Samson. The guy is charming. Their bassplayer is quite a character, but their singer stole the show. What a showman and what a voice. And after that, he spent the British Lion gig in the pit singing and headbanging. You've got to love those bands. Airbourne, on the...

:notworthy:LiaLW is a fantastic song. The vocal melodies are awesome, the guitar parts are fuelled with so much energy, and those lyrics...

I'm not a big fan of live albums, but Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous is fantastic, and I will never get tired of Motörhead's No Sleep 'till Hammersmith and Scorpions' Tokyo Tapes.

That reminds me of articles about football transfers in the italian press: no substance. They could not skip all the festivals, so they cannnot play only their last album to a casual audience, so they must choose, so they must add other songs among which Alexander because they said they want to...

Dave was fantastic yesterday, all his solos were amazing, while Adrian's were not fluid at all. Bruce butchered two songs, The Number of the Beast and Ace's High. I agree the venue is way too large, and I really hope to see them in a more "intimate" setting for the album tour.

Any gig from the Killers tour. But the idea of reliving a gig I had attended is pretty appealing too: Paris 1986 was great.

In retrospective, it's nice to have such an album in their discography: it brings diversity and shows thats, no matter how big they were then, they had not lost all spontaneity. They (Steve at least) felt the urge to release a more direct album after not playing for a year. At the time, I would...

"self plagiarism" is very strange concept. A composer is perfectly entitled to reuse his own ideas in another context if he thinks it works. It's not only bad memory or laziness. I really wouldn't mind Harris writing a song entirely based on former ideas, as long as the dynamics works. How many...

Given his absence from the last British Lion tour, I thought he had retired. Happy he didn't.

You will have to get accustomed to Ghost's relentless irony and cynism :D . This man believes in nothing , and I hope you are not a British Lion fan:p

Obviously, I agree Maiden is a greater band than Sabbath. However, I don't view their career in terms of "eras". Several members of this forum convincingly showed that the reunion era was in germ in Virtual XI, and I'm more convinced by an interpretation of their production in terms of cycles...

Thank you. The real notice is "Iron Maiden voted greatest metal band of all time ahead of Black Sabbath". Metallica were never a serious contender for the title.

Steve and Dave need a few sport sessions :innocent: And Mrs Smith is less enjoyable to watch without all those Instagram filters.

I don't know. I've never seen him but onstage. They all get shorter with age. I'm 52 and this is stunning. Steve may be short but he such charisma and self confidence that when he enters a room, he looks much taller.

No. I'm 175 cm, I've stood numerous times next to Steve, and he is significantly shorter. I'd say 170.

For me, nothing can surpass Rome's Pantheon. Both externally, with the surprising association of a rectangular porch and a circular room, and internally, with the superb color marbles, the niches, and all the historical layers that are represented here. I paid a visit to it 8 days ago, and that...

I was just pointing at an inconsistency: voting a songwriter, and a song by his band, but that he has not written. And TWotW is not in the same league as the Harris' tracks.
