Thanks for the response, @MindRuler. I’m glad you managed to get out and find something better. My frustration is that I work across 3 schools and the behaviour varies across them. One of my schools has excellent behaviour and I just want to be there all week (not realistic). I have spent...

I’m going through a rough patch at the moment with work. I am full time but only teach for 3 days. The other 2 days I am working on a range of projects for my organisation, which I have to say I am really enjoying. I came home early from work on Friday after having a ‘wobble’. The kids were not...

Only the last few weeks I have been playing all of the shows from the Strangers in the Night boxset by UFO. I love the concept of this boxset. I wish Maiden would do something like this for LAD. Credit to Phil Aston from Now Spinning magazine. I lifted the photo from his website. He does great...

I love Maiden, but god they test my patience sometimes. This is so tacky.

They should have released Maiden England in 2008 or 2009 like originally planned. I would have happily sacrificed the Maiden England tour for more physical media, interviews and content. I thought the tour was ok, but the set list was mostly a big let down. It didn’t need to be a 3 year tour...

Good catch.

On a slight random side note, The Mercenary is the only song where the guitarist who wrote the song gives the solo up to another player. Janick co-wrote the song but Dave and Adrian take the solos. So if The Mercenary is a Virtual XI leftover, Adrian definitely took a Janick solo.

Just stick an Albatross head on the Icarus from LOTB. I can imagine them looking it at and going ‘That’ll do’.

I am really looking forward to this documentary.

Found it! ‘I think on the last album [Final Frontier] I brought in a lot of ‘strange’ time signatures, a lot of sevens. To be honest, we didn’t really embrace it like I thought we would. I don’t think it really gelled’...

Great post. I’m in the proTFF camp. There are some really interesting songs on there and they were trying some new ideas. I think it is a shame that Adrian said in an interview that he went back to writing shorter songs after the slightly negative press TFF got (citation needed).

‘Some fans are on the stranger side of things’ *cuts to @Vaenyr in their Virtual XI themed living room*

I can’t imagine them ever doing something like this. Also they had an album in the can and just had to ride out the pandemic. Personally think they should have done a better job at releasing good quality live recordings for the fans during this time. NOTD is shite but the Donnignton 07 videos...

Sign of the Cross has a firm place in the greatest tour they have done and one of the greatest sequences of songs from a Maiden set list. Revelations-FTGGOG-The Wicker Man- SOTC- Flight of Icarus. The 2022 set list run of Revelations-Blood Brothers-SOTC-Flight of Icarus was great too.

My best try Prowler Wrathchild 2 Minutes to Midnight Infinite Dreams Killers Phantom of the Opera Children of the Damned Hallowed Be Thy Name The Trooper Rime of the Ancient Mariner Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter The Number of the Beast Run to the Hills

It was played in 2005 (not in 2004) and 2009 as well.

Do you think they will include never seen before photos of Steve recording the drums for Virtual XI in the book?

I’m just cranky at the moment.
