That particular guitar is from https://www.fendercustomshop.com/ and is no regular production model. This one was made by Fender's custom shop in more recent years as well. And look at the quilted maple in the headstock - very nice.

Thank you. The Bannermans, Edinburgh gig is from 2014 though, but nice to have that one as well! Edit: The Bristol show from April 2004 also has John Slater performing, that must have been one of the last shows he did.

I just found a video bootleg from a gig in Gothenburg in 2001 btw. Horrible audio, but interesting to see the band perform:

That would be cool. Wray left in September of 2004 btw, after completing the summer tour (including a performance at Bang Your Head in Germany). So any gigs before that are very interesting to hear!

Seems like Adrian played that intro with Janick. Look at 0:23 and onwards, he certainly picks some notes.

Just one solo. Dave played it alone on the studio recording and by himself live in 1998, but in 1999 Janick joined in too. Adrian played rhythm.

Thanks! And do you have any from 2004? That was the final tour with guitarist Steve Wray (the last remaining original member) - would be cool to hear Ten Seconds, Blood and Belief, Life and Death performed by him etc.

I would like to get this bootleg!

I have always thought that this song sounded cool when it was mixed with that triggered "Brave New World" snare sound. The dual solo by Dave and Janick in this version also sounded very good.

No, I mixed up that recording up with Dive Dive. But credit to Dickson then, he played that solo very well! I think that Janick's on Dive Dive is rather good though:

Janick played his solos better and cleaner when it was just him alone in the mix (with bass and drums). Edit: Apparently not, that's Alex Dickson. :facepalm:

Out of the Silent Planet - the vocals. Bruce sings a totally different harmonizing lower part on the backing vocals during the chorus, which is layered underneath the main vocals in the mix. I know this from when I used to listen to this song on my old Iphone 4 with the headphones plugged in...

The Raven Age is a suitable act to open up for British Lion on small clubs, like they did in 2015. Enjoyed their show and got their E.P, which had some decent stuff on it. Maiden should have a stronger opening act though. As an example of this, I thought Shinedown were a great choice in 2017...

Gus G practising Killers for the shows with Di'anno.

But you should propably not blame Blaze who doesn't play any instrument, that's stuff that his band members wrote. In Flames - I'm the Highway

The Silicon Messiah album was written by a whole band of 5 musicians working together with producer Andy Sneap, so I don't think you should view any of those songs as lost Maiden tracks really. According to guitarist Steve Wray, cited in "At the end of the Day", Blaze didn't have much material...

No, he said that it was one of his favourite songs to perform and that he would like to do it again: https://thathashtagshow.com/2021/09/17/bruce-dickinson-talks-favorite-iron-maiden-song-to-sing-dianno-songs/ The Prisoner and Stranger in a Strange Land were also mentioned at the same time.

Bruce Dickinson - The Ghost of Cain

This track sounded so much more powerful live. Dave's guitar tone was also excellent for all the lead parts, and I liked his use of the whammy bar here.

What are your opinion on of the use of synths in Blaze's music? This is something that is not featured very often. But for example Andy Sneap actually added some keyboard parts in the background at 5:27 - 5:40 in Stare at the Sun, I think that parts sounds great. You can certainly notice...
