    Tears Of A Clown

    First listen: Wow. I adore it! Love the odd-metered riff (is it 7/8?) in the intro and before the solos, love the three guitars playing different stuff for almost the whole song, love the vocal melody and the lyrics and the chorus. Bravo, Steve and Adrian!

    Death Or Glory

    First listen: love it! A nice rocker! Love the slider solo by Adrian! Also funny stuff about the climbing monkey! :D They have to play this live.

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    My first listen: I'm done with the first CD - I gotta say there's a ton of music to process, and I wouldn't rate anything yet. IESF is stellar and amazing, TBOS is a decent epic. In between, I don't know what to think, it seems like a jumble of stuff which I have to listen to at least several...

    The Book Of Souls (song not album)

    A nod to Montsegur at 7:00-7:30, a similar melody is played, don't you think? Anyway, I agree with Foro, upon the first listen, for me this is a return to form after 3 or 4 not so great songs.

    If Eternity Should Fail

    Does this have anything to do with the comic book of the same name?

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    It could be ripped from the CD single... @IronLiam - you can speak freely about it in the commentary section of the forum.

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Why don't these people who have access to the CD just make a direct audio CD copy and then let it out in flac and various mp3 bitrates... The quality of this is really questionable, I am too looking forward to getting my hands on the original CD.

    If Eternity Should Fail

    Agreed, just amazing. It's what Satellite 15 and WTWWB should have been. Amazing atmosphere, reminds me of Blue Oyster Cult's Fire of Unknown Origin. Kudos to Bruce.

    The Red And The Black

    First listen: I don't like it. The faster tempo is very awkward, it feels to me like they're rushing all the time.

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Are you people f##king insane? 40+ pages in this thread alone in less than 9 hours? :D Anyway, listened to IESF, it's amazing. The atmosphere reminds me a bit of Blue Oyster Cult's Fire of Unknown Origin.

    Blaze Bayley

    Hopefully it will sound more like Silicon Messiah or Tenth Dimension, and less like his later efforts.

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg. I hate the slow intro, Bruce's ghoulish singing, the way the slow intro just stops and is followed by the string pull-off and the simplistic main riff, the stupid supposedly "mysterious" lyrics, the uninventful vocal melody which has no connection to the...

    There's no way a professional producer on Kevin's level would let anything leak from the studio, especially not a bad take.

    Do a circle, for example English to Chinese to Spanish to English. It'll work then. :D

    The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

    :p I'm talking about Bruce flying people to a show, not this crappy exclusive studio thing with Bruce introducing the yet unreleased new Maiden studio album where those damn sods @Forostar and @Brigantium are going. ( :D :D )

    The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

    All I can say is - holy fuck! Anyone remember the prices for Bruce Air flights maybe? Was it open to fan club members only? I'm hoping for an European Bruce Air...

    Bruce Dickinson

    If you take a look at the Brazil gig on Anthology, it's the same exact show that was used for SFMB, and some of the harmonies and solos are filled with mistakes - mistakes that don't exist on SFM Brazil.
