Then why was Stevie Young at the studios?

Yeah I remember in Dublin in 2006 he said something about the numbers of young kids in the audience, saying “What’s wrong with your dads, they too old to rock?” Or something along those lines. Unnecessary Bruce, many normal people get older and have families/responsibilities. In actual fact my...

Holy Smoke probably charted so high because people thought it was Status Quo

AC/DC played the same set for two years because Malcolm had dementia, so Maiden have no excuse not to change it up. Part of the problem is many bands are not truly playing live, using programmed click tracks, phoned in backing vocals etc so they can’t be arsed to change it. So well done...

I agree DH was preferable to ST, but in no shape or form could he have handled the Painkiller material, even with his extra drummer under the stage. DH’s performance at the US festival is really good. DH was perfect for the more melodic and most successful version of JP, the version many...

I used to have the RTTH book, but sadly sold or lost it. It’s good but it was odd reading Mick Wall sucking up to the band for much for the book, when he often made fun of them in the Kerrang days, sometimes very amusingly, as only Mick Wall can. I see it’s now out of print. I still have a...

The Tailgunner version of No Prayer slays the gravedigger one..and better reverse sleeve too.

The Cult were always the definition of trend hoppers. First they were goth, then metal, then indie in the 90s, Billy Duffy even has the Beckham undercut hairstyle now 4 years too late. I find it really disturbing how STP have hired some young dude to sing like Scott, bleach his hair like Scott...

Listened to the DeGarmo track, sadly it sounded incredibly generic.

Rogue is one of my favourites, actually preferred it to Black Flag. Origins was amazing, I’m not too impressed with the art direction for Odyssey, plus I think it’s a mistake to follow up Origins so soon.

I dont think many fans liked NPFTD at all but the reviews were supringly good at the time. Massive step down from SSOASS.. As for TFF, for sure it was a mixed fan reaction. But worse reaction that NP? It had good reviews, but then bands are guaranteed positive these days. Music scribes have no...

I’m a long time Zelda die hard. Just played through Skyward Sword again for Wii. The temples are fucking awesome, one major thing that BOTW seriously lacks. Plus weapons don’t break, and a great story. Music is good to great. The bad: the motion controls are hideous and make defeating some...

The first 7 albums songs are all pretty much a 10 for me except some of the more filler stuff, I.e Quest For Fire, Ganglang.

I had ASAP on vinyl back in the day. I had Psycho Motel on cd too, need to get them again.

I think there is a rivalry between Janick & Adrian that will always prevent that from happening.

Janick wrote the best song for TBOS IMO...thetitle track I mean.

Don’t be ashamed. Most people have lives and commitments Some fans have never seen them live for lots of reasons but love the band..

I’ve seen Faulkner live and he reminded me more of Zakk Wilde, and very impressive. He seems the only guy in Priest that moves around on stage these days, he was really the show. . But he’s not really my cup of tea for Maiden. Plus they could quickly revert back to two like it nothing happened.

Dave Murray is very underrated with his writing, and is the definitive Maiden guitar slinger.

He was amazing, and I always wonder how much better the reunion albums would have sounded had he been at the helm. Shame they couldn’t tempt him out of retirement. Maybe the 1-2 punch of No Prayer & Fear put him off for life..
