This is pretty clearly the guitar going out of tune after the solo rather than someone playing the wrong thing.

I honestly don't think significantly upgrading their shows/production for bigger venues would be a smart move for Maiden financially. It would require significant investment and increased touring costs with no guarantee of success. They can make some tweaks to what they do to keep things fresh...

The casuals don't even know the setlist ahead of the gig, hence them moaning when they get the setlist that was promoted rather than the greatest hits that they expect every time.

What update? Is it just that they've put up the latest tour artwork?

Yeah this was a really dull interview. Basically half an hour of hero worship.

No. Compression is used to control volume and dynamics. (there are some shades of grey here, e.g. multi-band compression) but the result and objective isn't to make all frequencies the same volume. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but as someone who's worked in audio for well over a decade...

It's clearly not a money thing with Maiden. The cost barriers to high quality recordings are basically zero these days. But they choose to book a huge studio for 3 months with basically zero songs written. It's actually a very expensive way to do things. They could easily get together at one...

Daves solo's clipping are almost certainly a result of the mastering process. X Factor isn't a loudness war casualty, it's simply poorly mixed.

The only blessing we might get from Nickos stroke. It could make the band abandon the "record everything live as we write it" approach. They instead could spend time writing so that Nicko can then go away to work out and practice his parts. He still might need a good amount of takes so they...

Little bit from Nickos interview that's relevant. About 54 mins in: Talking about meeting the drum corps after the Mountbatten gig he said:

To be fair I did comment that his sudden change in performance had to be something other than age, it was a huge change after only 7 months. At the time I expected an illness like the flu, or a back injury.

I'd imagine releasing it before the tour would help ticket sales rather than after. All depends on the format, how it's released etc.

For a farewell tour I'd expect Run to the Hills or Hallowed to close.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/i2uyJZ4N49q3girB/ The band just released their summer collection, everything in the video is Powerslave themed. A hint for next year?

To be honest it really just comes across as trolling at this point. I can't imagine spending all my time posting about something I clearly don't like anymore. I'll be putting him on ignore, I would encourage others do the same.

Honestly I have to agree. I'm all for lively discussion and people expressing their opinions, but the CONSTANT "the sky is falling! Everything is terrible! Maiden are doomed" is just getting so fucking tiresome.

He's definitely using the word set interchangeably with setlist there.

I hope that Kevin posting about the Maiden live albums is a hint that he'll be mixing the new one. Though I'd be happy with Pooch doing it too. As long as it isn't Newton. I think the talk of the ATG artwork being a new album/song hint is still a bit of a stretch. But interesting speculation...

Some videos here. He's playing very well. https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-nicko-mcbrains-titanium-tart-kicks-off-july-2024-florida-tour-in-sanford
