Correction: He is Maiden’s best drummer, without a doubt (in my mind).

I hope the new drummer retains some of the classic Nicko sound, but still has a style of their own. We don’t need a carbon copy (Joe), in my opinion. I’d like to hear relatively fresh versions of classic songs.

Precisely, I feel that those recent short rockers are very forced. Even if they are considered “fast”, they in fact are not. The faster tempos still feel very slow to me. Even in songs like The Parchment, the faster part in the end is just not quite fast enough in my opinion. Even 5 more...

I used to think Blood Brothers was just an okay song. I’d instinctively roll my eyes when they’d play it live. I thought it was a waste of setlist space. I don’t know what happened, but I started loving it and I hope to see it live again someday.

For a long time I couldn’t totally get into A Matter of Life and Death. I liked a couple songs (Different World, The Pilgrim, Benjamin Breeg, The Legacy), but still felt that the album as a whole was overlong and depressing. I really disliked These Colours and felt the other songs were too...

Don’t blame Nicko just because Adrian can’t play his guitar ;) In all seriousness though I really dig the fast tempos, Maiden really needs more of that imo. Perhaps these are the first signs of the guitarists’ ages showing though. Maybe the finger dexterity is degrading ever so slightly.

I would consider that as rotating. According to Wikipedia: "Paschendale" (from Dance of Death, 2003) was played rather than "Dance of Death" in Dallas, San Antonio, Albuquerque, San Bernardino, and Auburn. Those cities were every other night, so they were rotating those two songs for the...

Paschendale and Dance of Death were rotating for a bit. I was there on a Paschendale night, but would’ve preferred DoD.

Guess what? This upcoming tour IS a greatest hits tour! (Hopefully with a couple deep cuts. I’m hoping for 22AA, Still Life, Die With Your Boots On, Infinite Dreams, No Prayer For the Dying)

That’s funny, why did Dave want him to hit that?

Maaan, Dennis Stratton’s neck is no joke! Classic picture though.

Janick hate is so boring and played out. He’s a great guitarist and adds a lot to Maiden’s live performances (imo). And he’s one of the most valuable songwriters too. Janick haters should be very thankful that the next tour will be focused mostly on the golden 80s. I personally hope there...

This is decent, but some songs sound kinda weak.

Run For Your Lives Tour

Ugghhhhh more AI Maiden art :rolleyes:

True, it’s sort of metal pilgrim-esque with that clickbait thumbnail.

This channel is great. He points out so many little details that non guitar players might not notice. Licks of the Beast and Capnharris are the two best Maiden related youtube channels in my opinion. https://youtube.com/@licksofthebeast?si=X50fAGInU2y5gM4M...

He’s a bit too metal-ly.

Regarding CSIT, it seems to me that Bruce’s timing was much much worse than Nicko’s drumming. Nicko sounds pretty darn good here considering. The tempo is pretty great (imo).

This a wild theory, but what if they start with Transylvania? The first minute and 30 will play over the PA, and then it kicks in with the riff/band at 1:35. Or it starts with Transylvania over the PA (like they did with the Legacy video) into the opening riff of Prowler. I also think BQoBD...
