    New album: The Final Frontier!

    Oh, crap sorry, I guess I linked I pic from the official board and since Khan is a member he was able to see it but you guys aren't.  I'll upload it to a separate location and change the url.  Look at my post about it again in 2 minutes.

    Ahhh, ok.  I know you are a professional (you did that Journey album cover, right?) so I will take your expert opinion.  I thought it was just a low quality cell phone cam pic.

    LOL.  It took me like 18 hours for the whole thing to download.

    That is a brilliant line.  I love it. Sorry, still no leak...........or is there?  No, there isn't.

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    I know man, I fall for it every time.  I get all caught up in it.  I know better and I'm not an easily persuaded or impressionable individual, but I have a weakness for Maiden.  I come down with a terrible case of "Oh, I have to buy that too", every time Maiden puts out a new release.

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    Lol.  I can't help myself sometimes.  Too be honest, even though I work form home and take care of our 11 month daughter all day, I still forget sometimes that we have a baby who is about to hit a stage where she becomes a lot more expensive and I spend money I shouldn't every now and then.  On...

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    My wife is actually a Maiden fan and she's very cool, but I purchased two very high end custom guitars this year under the agreement that I was done spending money for the next two years.  Buying 7 copies of the same album constitutes a breach of the agreement as far as she is concerned.  She's...

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    It was easier then.  You knew what day the album was coming out on and that was the day you got it.   Could you please explain that to my wife?

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    Ok, I've now ordered 2 copies of the Japanese Mission Edition, 1 copy of the Japanese limited 1st pressing regular edition, 1 UK Mission Edition, 1 US Mission Edition, 1 Greek edition, and the LP.  I think it's safe to say my wife is going to kill me.

    lets discuss some underrated tunes.

    I should note that there are plenty of excellent musicians who couldn't tell you what time signature they were playing in, and that's fine as well.  It's all about being able to feel it.  But at the same time there is stuff that if you can't count it, you are likely not going to be able to play...

    lets discuss some underrated tunes.

    The difference is this; 3/4 is 3 beats per measure with the quarter note getting the beat, 6/8 is 6 beats per measure with the eight note getting the beat.  You may say "why do you need both since 6/8 appears to be the same thing as 3/4"?  The reason is they have different feels to them that...

    Iron Maiden albums (CDs) pressings with best sound quality

    The 2002 versions are the same version.  The 1998 remasters are also enhanced and when lined up, the spines show Eddie as well.  No difference, though I think they may have changed the packaging to look like the original vinyl? Since you have already paid for all the albums, just go download...

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    Right, I know you and I have discussed on a couple of threads on IMFC forum having copies of AMOLAD earlier than people realize and I've never figured out why it took that album another 10 days to leak everywhere.  I don't suppose TFF will smell like Pez.    ;)

    Iron Maiden albums (CDs) pressings with best sound quality

    Oh man the Somewhere In Time re-master is just brutal.  It is a freaking abomination.  Though all the remasters will give you a headache after 15 minutes regardless of the volume.  The only problem with the Castle 2 disc sets is like I said they had a bad habit of corroding or I guess the more...

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    LMAO.  Khan, are you surprised it hasn't leaked yet?  Did you have any inkling from anyone involved in the Maiden team that they knew this wasn't going to leak?

    Iron Maiden albums (CDs) pressings with best sound quality

    I would agree with you that when you know what you are listening for the Japanese BT's sound more crisp Jeff.  I just think a lot of people have been misled and tricked, and have spent their money on things they will never hear the difference on.  Even the 1995 Castle re-issues are really good...

    Iron Maiden albums (CDs) pressings with best sound quality

    I own all the Black Triangles (they still have their Obi strips too), and I get accused of being an audiophile all the time.  To be honest there isn't much, if any real difference between those and the original Captiol/EMI pressings.  I've compared the files with spectral analysis and they are...

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    That is a damn good question, and Kiss pulls it off too, as does Aerosmith.  They just put out the same album over and over and the fans love it.  But at the same time I would guess the average age of fans at those shows is 35-45.  The Maiden audience keeps getting younger and younger, except...

    New album: The Final Frontier!

    What's so funny about the guys who only like old school Maiden (which of course is fine, I grew up with old school and love the new stuff too, but to each his own), is they don't realize if Maiden was putting out albums like Powerslave now they would be a joke and would not have the success they...
