Looks like Rod got to it. I take it I didn’t miss much!

This is book #20 for me so far this year. I need some inspiration to get back in shape.

That puts my rig on my last gig to shame. I just rocked up with a DI box and a tuner (and my bass of course!)

I was at Downlod in 2022. Maiden were great although the opening 3 songs went down like a led balloon. I am glad to have seen Senjutsu and Stratego on that tour, but they should have done the original Legacy set. If they had done Download in 2020 with the original set, it would have gone down as...

To be honest, I loved hearing Another Life and Drifter. They are not winning any songwriting awards but they are definitely songs I associate with the early days. The delay to hear Icarus was a shame. It was epic on the LOTB tour but would have been even better in 1999-2005. TTAL is not one that...

I would say they probably were rehearsed. I created a thread a few years ago about which tour rehearsal you would like to sit on. I think it would be fascinating to see them try songs that never made the tour.

I’m pissed off at both my job and my favourite band at the moment. Probably explains why my post was dramatic!

I feel blessed that my first Maiden gig was the 2005 Reading show.

I think I will leave at Iron Maiden to save myself the embarrassment in front of my friends. My mates will be fine without me. They are big kids. I’m sorry but this is just shocking. I cannot fathom their utter arrogance. How can they think that this is an acceptable performance by any stretch...

If you had posted this 2 months ago, I would have given you my copy. I got rid of it as I was fed up of the metal tin.

That’s an interesting key he is singing in a the start.

Where’s the Rod ‘Delete’ meme when you need it?

I’m always interested in remixes of albums. It is cool to hear an album that I love in a slightly different way. It can be done incredibly well. Just look at what Tony Ionmi did to the BS album Forbidden. It’s like a whole new album. I am confused by the physical product options. Bruce made a...

I sort of feel the same way. It’s the first time where I am seeing Maiden where there is only one song that I have never heard before. That of course is Killers. To be honest, I’m looking forward to hearing the classics and seeing my mates pumped up for them as well. Murders, Killers, Phantom...

100% agree. I never really noticed the football pitch until people on here were whinging about it. Like seriously, who the fuck cares? It fits within the theme of the artwork. You don’t hear the same people moan about the football references in the SIT artwork. Probably because they were too...

I was once gigging with a band that played this vegan festival. I have fond memories of sitting by a stage listening to anti-Brexit beat poetry whilst eating a vegan curry. Good times.

It’s actually refreshing to hear that he wants to switch off from music. I think this is one of the reasons he has continued for so long. As a music teacher, people always assume I want to be doing musical things. No is the answer to that!

Every time I see this album, I always think of the radio host on GTA Vice City Stories who shouts at his co-host at the end of the song, ‘Lazlow, get over there and put your balls to the wall!’ I can still hear it nearly 20 years later! That game introduced me to Accept. What a great band!

I think Maiden England 2014 was just a chance for them to get playing together before recording Book of Souls in the autumn.

Surely they will take the show to Download. It will probably be their most Download friendly setlist since 2003. 2020 would have also been a festival friendly setlist.
