Don't miss out on Nick McBain or Steve cloning himself to play guitar in his own band. Hilarious to see the BBC publishing complete garbage back in the day though.

They should just played the album in its entirety, it's short enough that half the complainers would be stuck in line first at the beer tent and then for the toilets for the duration.

Every band in metal make their profits on tour, from ticket sales and especially merchandise, i.e. t-shirts. Physical media isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to touring, and in that category it's albums (as in on vinyl) that will be the most profitable ventures, since everybody charges a...

Hence why I said DVD. It's also an incredibly strange release since it's officially on YouTube and the iTunes version at least is in 480p unlike the YT upload. It's almost like they weren't going to release the video anywhere else but then changed their mind for some reason and put the janitor...

I think it's pretty telling that the latest Maiden live DVD release is from 2013 and it's Maiden England rather than something new. It was an easy release since the edit is fine and audio-wise all they needed to do was what they did for Live After Death, i.e. a new multichannel mix plus the...

I was thinking very much from a public interest type of perspective, since you can't rely on the hardcore fans alone to sell DVDs. The band was at its lowest point in the 90s and Raising Hell is what I'd describe a particular sore spot because of the context around it being Bruce leaving on bad...

There wasn't exactly a fourth history re-release DVD to attach part four of the documentary to anyway. Don't think it's a huge mystery why it was never finished, they ran out of shit to put out. With physical media sales dwindling fast it's honestly a bit of a blessing we even got Maiden...

I really don't understand how anyone can stand Wasting Love. Incredibly annoying chorus melody, forgettable verses, and the whole product is even more cynical than From Here to Eternity in simply aping a popular rock staple with no original ideas. If it was made by any other band, nobody would...

I demand archive releases of shit like the AMOLAD live album that never was and the missing two cover takes from the album sessions if they're gonna retire.

WotW is easily the best-produced song on Senjutsu and no surprise, they actually re-recorded the guitars rather than using the live off the floor takes. It's so annoying because that's what they should've done all along, preserve the live rhythm section but redo the stuff on top like guitars and...

I think what killed this for a lot of bands was simple physical distance. Convening together to rehearse and livestream or record material would've been easy enough even in the middle of corona if everyone lives relatively close by. Not so easy when the whole band's spread out over the globe...

Powerslave was definitely there just for the hell of it though. There's no reason why they would've played it for another tour after its inclusion on TBOS.

I don't really need 22AA to return. At one point I really wanted it, but ultimately now that I'm aware of the Waldrock performance I've no real desire for a rerun but worse. There's no topping that one. Also after thinking about it: I'm almost tempted to say the same for Killers. We have a...

I dunno. I just noticed after it was pointed out that the vocal line is just yelling in key and the guitars solely seem to mostly just play notes rather than a riff or anything melodic. The middle part sort of gets there, but it's short and mostly copying the bassline so it barely counts. It's...

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about, so either it wasn't me or I was really drunk when I said that.

I used to dislike RTTH, then I liked it, and now I dislike it again. Annoyingly simplistic melody, disco beat, blah. Similarly I enjoyed NOTB until somebody on Maidenfans mentioned that it's a completely unmelodic song and (thanks for that) now I really can't stand it either.

I think it's incredibly funny that we've gotten to the point where somebody vaguely alluding to playing with feel results in others getting upset at the notion, because it implies music isn't just notes on a paper.

I resigned myself to the possibility of yet another instance of Aces Low happening as soon as I realized there really aren't any other opener choices that would have the desired impact on casual audiences. Hearing it used alongside RTTH and NOTB in radio ads furthered this belief. The only thing...

Entirely unrelated but my one wish that there was one decently big name band that would be willing to play nothing but Dio-era Black Sabbath songs on the 5th of July this year. Maiden will not and cannot ever be it, but surely there's at least one act willing to commit to one last bit of...

Thank you for furnishing me with this information ChatGPT.
