    Bruce Dickinson

    Are you sure he just didn't say "No Prayer for the Dying is an album after The Number of the Beast"? :D

    Best US President by Iron Maiden Activity

    Dubya oversaw the great Maiden Revival. Sure, the Great Financial Crisis came to be under his watch too, but it is eclipsed by the massively positive impact he had on Maiden. ... And we cannot ignore his influence with Blaze's Tenth Dimension, influencing songs like Kill and Destroy and the...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    They should have done that 10 years ago. I don't think they will ever do that, but will rather keep firing in the original keys no matter what.

    Judas Priest

    Rob has said as much.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    No, it really doesn't. They have also said they will not allow themselves to become a parody, or have their performances suffer. They are old, and the performances have dipped a bit in quality (drums and vocals). They have, although Bruce still holds up. We have a few years left, at most.

    RIP Les Binks. What a terrific drummer.

    Saxon

    Saxon do the sensible thing, that Maiden refuse to do, and tune down.

    What if Adrian played/wrote some of Janick's solos?

    Adrian left the band before they recorded the album, while they were looking at what material they had, not while they were laying down tracks. Why would he swoop back in, record the solo and go "bye again guys!". He wasn't in the band, nor were they trying to hide his song contribution.

    Favourite NON-Metal Guitarists

    This is a very good list. I've recently dipped my toe into listening to Toto, and I love his playing. Regarding Bonamassa, while he is famous for his blues stuff, he has released like 6 hard rock albums with Black Country Communion (heavy Deep Purple vibes) with Glenn Hughes. Bonamassa sounds...

    Yes, they see how this idiocy is coming crashing down on them. Yet, somehow, Lutnick said just now (ish) that the exemptions are only temporary and will then be subject to tariffs to bolster domestic production. ... So I guess they want to pay people minimum wage for 10 hours a day to produce...

    More insanity, and essentially a tailor-made propaganda piece.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I don't think Bruce can use the tracks without Z's approval (and his response would probably be "fuck off"), as Z writes the music. You can do a cover of whoever you want, but I don't you can't record someone else's unreleased songs, even if you've worked a bit on them together. Ask Blaze, as he...

    Which Maiden songs we should consider as a ballads/power ballads ?

    Music categorization works by approximation. It's a spectrum with, sometimes, quite heavy doses of potential leeway. Call it power ballad, call it semi-ballad, call it a non-ballad. It all works.

    And if he had issued an EO they would have complied. And if not, he would fire its head. He operates through threats, and it is clear it has worked. Most are at least partially muzzled.

    They aren't free in practice anymore. He has subjugated them through intimidation, through denying them access to the WH, W Post editorial has been banned of being critical by Bezos, You should know that. He has threatened to revoke broadcast rights through EO's

    Checks and balances? :applause: He had turned the damn WH easter reception into a way to get personal donations. He is stacking institutions with loyalists and clamping down on the judiciary. The House talked about gutting funding to keep courts from hearing cases challenging the Administration.
