Montsegur Ghost Of The Navigator

The Mercenary Be Quick Or Be Dead

Yep. I like some non-metal music, and once you get over the initial shock that it's Priest playing this, it actually sounds pretty good. The other thing is, it proves that Rob was simply just a great all-round singer, not just a supreme metal vocalist. A truly great singer, can sing anything...

Anyone wondering what that unreleased Priest collaboration with 80's UK pop hitmakers Stock, Aitken, & Waterman sounded like? Here's a taste! lol :)

Ditto that. And thanks Foro for alerting me to this! :) Between these 4 solos, it's an easy decision for me. Both of H's solos in SSOASS are explosive, and really help to maximise the intense feel of that section, after the brooding atmospheric interlude which precedes it. Davey's Phantom solo...

Yep, and it turned out to be the actual final mix! As much as I love Redeemer musically, sound-wise it is like a glorified demo. Very poor for a band of Priest's stature. The sound on that Maiden snippet sounds better than Redeemer's mix in any case!

The start of the snippet definitely sounds like the end of an H solo, and just by that tiny taste, it sounds like it's going to be an awesome one from him! The sound is an improvement over what it was on TFF, and Nicko's snare has more of a "deep" sound than is normally the case for him, but I'm...

That Nile song and video is such an intense combination. It's just sad that some uneducated people would see that, and think that the band are ISIS sympathisers, when the complete opposite is actually the case. Nile are an amazing band.

You're welcome. :) In a way, it kind of makes sense, cos Adrian has been playing in drop D for a while now, and no Maiden song have ever been in D standard before to my knowledge. I need to learn the song myself and see how it sounds in that tuning.

Here you go! :) http://www.musicradar.com/totalguitar/10-things-guitarists-should-know-about-the-new-iron-maiden-album-273572

I read an interview with Dave Murray where he said that all 3 guitars were tuned to drop D for Mother Of Mercy... it does sound more like D standard though.

The song sounds awesome in E tuning too, and the solo in fact, sounds better in that tuning. I didn't know The Legacy was in D tuning, that's news to me! lol Is that the only song on the album in that tuning?

Yep, I've seen that before, but I'm pretty sure it's fan-made. In any case, it looks a lot better than the actual cover. I remember coming across fan-made TFF covers which were much better than the actual cover. lol

The thing is, that cover would have looked a lot better if Eddie was the only figure in it. lol

Bruce could just be downplaying his playing abilities. I recall him saying that he wrote Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter in 5 minutes. And this was a song he wrote outside of Maiden. Whilst BYDTTS is hardly a fest of technical skills, you'd still have to be fairly decent on guitar to...

Dunno why people are mystified at how Bruce can write songs. I thought it was well known that he could play guitar, and he actually plays one onstage during "Revelations" in the Live After Death video. lol

I agree it is the best of the 3 so far. The version of "When The Stillness Comes" we've heard isn't the final album version though, so I'll be interested to hear that. :)

Title track from new album:

Shame I missed out on that, looks like a great conversation was going on there. :( For what it's worth, I do love the SIT cover, but I wouldn't have chosen it as my personal favourite.

True, but even the debut had that gloomy moonlit street behind Eddie. I don't think the new album cover needs lots going on the background, but something simple that suits the album title, and the painting of Eddie would help it, I think. The debut's cover wouldn't have been as good without the...
