So nothing is re-recorded, just added some (rhythm only? by Philip) guitars. I hope for some new parts like melodies, at least. The sounds at the beginning of Gods Of War are hard to hear. The heavier guitars sounds like TMP, the drums mix in the interlude is not done that well, like some parts...

So Gods Of War is the first teaser? I wonder if the album will have a new cover. The new, fatter drum sound is solid, the original has its charm though. I wouldn't say the sound is that much heavier than it, rather full which is always nice. TMP production, maybe with a bit of a difference in...

Wow, I wouldn't say that now. I think Bruce sounds better on Seventh Son now than he did on the ME tour, despite cutting the chorus again. TFP tour was unique, but I guess it's a mix of Nicko not playing (the magic) and the most ''standard'' setlist in 12 years (ofc we've had more of these...

The cover uses the same approach as the previous one. This style of drawing is cool, but for all covers I'm not that sure. The water-like background (the bottom of the ocean?) and the overall idea is interesting, but I'm not a fan of the pumpkin head's decision (it would have been much better...

Bruce dropped the scream at the end of Hills, I wonder if he'll do it for Aces soon. Too much screams in the set? Btw, the main screens with flames would have been fitting for Number, but I guess they did it because of the single's art. Some actual hills would have been cool. Number's is like...

The big screen indeed looks great even in daylight (better than a backdrop), the main stage screens are a bit worse. I like Maiden to keep the screens for the next tour because they have potential and a song can have more than one art, which is always cool. - I just love how the stage looks for...

Dave with a RFYL sweatshirt. Adrian, wow... H The Great! :cool: :D

Another solid track with a melodic and old school chorus from Dirkschneider & The Old Gang. Classic Accept riff (the whole song actually, even the modern feel a bit). Bring the solo, Mathias! This albums so far is only winners! :rocker:

Wasted Years with a Lado, never thought I'd see it without a Jackson. It's like odd, haha. Imagine Adrian starting to use the Lados as main guitars! I think he really likes his green Jackson.

Thank you. :) Celebrated it also with Maiden's full set from the current tour. :rocker:

Off-nights or not, a little bit. Cold? I'll say it again, I can't believe Bruce put the song on the encores again, to do that with his voice! It was kind of a must in 2022 because of the prop. And I'm sure they play it because of the screen show too. Too bad Tailgunner isn't popular. They could...

The second single, ''Hordes Of Khan'' is classic Sabaton. We've heard it before, but it's always cool. Fast rocker with a memorable chorus, the main melody is great and catchy (ofc), effective solo. Interesting and longer music video.

That's a good option. But Nicko to write the drum parts would probably never happen if he won't play. The situation is different than Glenn's. And it's not right to Simon. I would like more fast songs, I admit. Nicko should definitely co-write a song.

A tradition. The art design looks old school or like 2005-ish early days tour. Cool. The same back happened last year too.

Some stuff from the screens: posters of the debut album cover, Killers and ''Sanctuary'' single can be seen on the Wrathchild/Killers art (it is a tradition to have a song written on the wall that is not part of the set, haha). Seventh Son's right corner has the face of POM Eddie, the...

Wrathchild's first fills were usually played by Dave before. They all have a go with them. I think it's because Adrian doesn't have a solo for the first 2 songs. Powerslave's solo is indeed closer to the original.

Probably. Although what's the point? Like with every tour, and the songs are there. They are planning to release a live concert? I guess so. In terms of Maiden's essential show, LOTB is the top.

Realistically, we should expect Simon, but he's been announced as a live drummer (for now), so where's the lack of confidence? It's probably time to move on and he's the solid choice, but Bruce said Nicko is still part of the band. Rod's statement was more ambiguous.

I'll always say Nicko. But I'm not sure he would be able to do it justice. Maybe on 1 song, I doubt it. And the band seems to enjoy and believe in playing with Simon. I guess Simon can change their style in the studio (right), and it's curious, but more straightforward playing from both wouldn't...

I truly believe that no one has Nicko's feel! He is a unique drummer and one that cannot be replaced. Signature style.
