    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    Actually for me the fun fact was that I was just browsing through the website I mentionned and I just put play on that song and I was like "wahouhh, this is very similar to a song I know very well". And what is "fun" as well regarding these riffs is that when some bands just try to sue others...

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    Ah this bring back memories, there was an article in a french magazine a few weeks before BNW came out and the writer of the article had the chance to listen to four songs of the album, including The Wicker Man and he mentionned "Spreading the disease" as well. I almost forgot about this one.

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    Yeah I fully agree, its a very basic riff as well. Its just that not only this time its exactly the same but also the building of the song as well (intro riff used also for the verse and the rhythm is almost identical). Its more or less the same as the 2 minutes to midnight riff, Im sure there...

    The Wicker Man - another inspiration?

    This is a subject that has been talked a lot before, the fact that the main riff has a lot of similarities with many other metal songs (since this is a very "basic" riff), specially Running Wild of Judas Priest as fas as I remember but while I was browsing a "traditional heavy metal discovery...

    Eddie Van Halen vs. Randy Rhoads?

    Same feeling about Ozzy here btw...Randy is one of very favorite guitar players but I can't stand Ozzy in general (so I mainly focus just on the music itself while listening to these two albums!)...always thought he was one the luckiest guys on earth, that was just there at the right place at...

    Senjutsu - 20 Months Later

    Very interesting analysis I must say. Months and years go by, and feelings stay the same (or became even stronger): it's one hell of an album! I never get tired of listening to all of it (maybe minus The Darkest Hour, while not bad at all, its still on the same level as other calm songs they've...

    Eddie Van Halen vs. Randy Rhoads?

    It means that in just two albums and I'm talking stricktly from a guitar technique point of view (been playing guitar for more than 30 years now...I'm that old!), its difficult to explain it with words rather than showing it but when you take a guitar and try to learn EVH stuff and RR stuff...

    Those that have been to 10 or more Maiden gigs

    Its hard to just list the 3 favorites because basically there are great memories attached to each gig I've attended so I'll go with a very quick overview for each: - Geneva 95: I became a fan around the end of 93 so just 2 years after that I had the chance to see them a few km from home. Of...

    Eddie Van Halen vs. Randy Rhoads?

    Randy Rhoads without a single doubt. In just two albums with Ozzy, he has achieved way more than EVH ever did. Of course, EVH was way more popular (actually more in the US than in Europe, btw) because Van Halen was clearly more mainstream than Ozzy (playing the Beat It solo helped a lot as...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    It remembers me of a song that I can't remember the name but some of the lyrics were : "dreams are my reality..." yeah, Jay Jay, keep on dreaming, for "sure" Maiden were really intimidated by Twisted Sister fans ::)

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Moments I'm embarassed to be a Maiden fan...when I read comments like this one...I tend to think Maiden fans are intelligent or at least way above some low-level behaviors like yours...it seems like I might be wrong...oh well there are exceptions everywhere, thanks to prove that! Btw, one day...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Looks like someone forgot to take his appropriate medicine. Take a break from being so rude, would you? As for Bruce's comments maybe he went a bit too far but in the heat of the moment, specially when he knows what this may mean for the future (for example, throat problems, not being able to...

    Maiden's Biggest Missed Opportunities Live

    If I was the one that would have had the privilege to create their set-lists, here's what I would have chosen per album, to be played at least once or more often: Iron Maiden: Strange world. I know this is not a typical Maiden song but I like the dreamy aspect of it Killers: Purgatory and...

    Moments you thought Maiden were ridiculous and embarrassing

    What I can see as truly embarassing and ridiculous is that some feel that after 30 years...more than 30 years actually that Janick doesn't fit the band...are aware of everything that he brought to the band??? Not only in terms of songwriting but at a lot of levels!?!! Yeah, ok some of his stage...

    Moments you thought Maiden were ridiculous and embarrassing

    I couldn't have said it better...Bruce is clever enough to know what is doing when he's on stage. He's there to entertain the audience, maybe sometimes he speaks about subjects that may upset but really you don't need to be the new Einstein to understand that he doesn't it too seriously. He's...
