Gotta say I can't speak for Sea of Madness, since I've heard very few SIT-bootlegs, but I think both Wasted Years and Heaven Can Wait sound better live than on the album, yeah. I guess it's simply personal, but I find that there's much more energy and erhm... ooomph, in the live versions, and...

Note on Hallowed live vs album: I think both the Rock in Rio version and the Beast Over Hammersmith versions are far superior. And speeding-up has done great things for a lots of songs. Phantom on Maiden Japan is intense as hell. Really the only songs where the speed-up has bothered me is...

I was very confused about the cover. It seems to show the artwork associated with These Colours Don't Run and as far as I know, Riggs hasn't worked with Maiden since Wicker Man/BNW. Is this picture recycled from some older single? I can't find it on his web-site in the illustrations-section, and...

I've said it before that my number one wish for this tour is a three-piece Walking on Glass. It's an amazing piece in itself, but could be even greater with a third guitar.

I'd love to have Dave do some backing-melodies a la Out of the Shadows and Janick replace him in the rhythm-parts. As for the solos, I'd love new ones, or twin-solos (a la The Evil That Men Do). I don't think adding the solos would affect length that much. 20 seconds added to a 13-minute song...

I was just going to say that, Forostar. That's one of Hendrix's best. Though, to be honest, any one of his songs could fit on this list. Voodoo Chile, Little Wing, Purple Haze, Watchtower, Hey Joe etc. all have great solos. Probably my all time favourite guitarist. As for the rest: Dave...

As someone who myself recently ventured into the arena of death metal, I can safely say that Opeth is a great place to start. They have a breadth to their music that makes for a lot of "openings" to get caught up in. I started with Damnation (which is not a metal album, but it wet my appetite)...

As per request:

I'm fairly certain there's a kind of algae/fungus-type organism that can become ridiculously large, acre-sized or something of that magnitude. Don't think it's extinct, though. Nor do I have any more specific definition. Unless I google, that is :p

Yeah, I really hope they stay away from the likes of Wrathchild, FOTD, RTTH etc. I can live with Hallowed because it's probably my favourite track, but I'd rather hear something like Alexander The Great, Infinite Dreams, Stranger in a Strange Land or To Tame A Land which hasn't been played live...

Might get it. Look For The Truth is really my fave song off of X Factor and I think it's a shame they never played it live. And his voice does sound better on his solo stuff.

Damnit, I knew that one, should have checked the thread earlier :p Quantum Physics rules  :smartarse:

The Wheel of Time series were the books that gave birth to my interest in fantasy, scifi, and reading in general. I remember them being the first series that I kept reading, book after book. I think I must have been about 13 or something. I did give up somewhere around Lord of Chaos though, and...

*prays that someone saved the master-clips from the big-screens*

I'm in the last act of Macbeth right now  :smartarse:. Really enjoying it. But it's pretty heavy stuff. It's a "read scene, read scene-commentary, repeat"-process for me :p But there's some really awe-inspiring stuff in there. Li'l Bill was pretty good with words, so to speak. I'm a bit torn as...

Yeah, the bottom of the poster definitely hints at a full eighties line-up. Which to me is kind of weird. I thought that since the first tour was so focused they'd continue on that idea. However, I guess this means that this provides a chance to hear To Tame A Land, Charlotte The Harlot or...

My girlfriend has that picture autographed on her wall, with all her Maiden-tickets wedged in at the top. Disturbing indeed.

To counteract the onslaught of all the romantics, I've got some more modern stuff for ya. This is one of my all-time favourite poems. Mainly due to its simplicity. Oh, and the four letter-word :p They fuck you up, your mum and dad.   They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the...

I was under the impression that Bruce and Roy would be writing it, but the current press-release only mentions Bruce as "supervising", so I don't know. I think that together they could make one hell of a score. I doubt it'd have Maiden-tracks though. I doubt it'll be very heavy on the vocals...

I also disliked TFX and VXI, even after having heard the songs. And I definitely agree that they have a distinct sound that is quite different compared to the rest of the discography. A little while ago, though, I relistened TFX. Sat down with my headphones on, shut the lights, and just...
