I like 3-guitar Maiden much better than 2-guitar Maiden. The sound is heavier and more layered, with a lot of subtle embellishments added to the songs. Triple harmonies sound great. So I'm glad Janick is still in the band. He plays his own solos well. As for sometimes butchering Adrian's...

Too bad Steve Harris didn't take songwriting lessons from you. You really sound like you know what you're talking about, so much more than Steve does..

I want to see Bruce open for Maiden, with Roy Z and Adrian in his band. Why not? He could do it, at least for a few shows.

I hope not. I like how in the reunion era the songs keep getting bigger, longer, more complex, more indulgent, more progressive. We always have the 80s material. It's not going anywhere, and we can revisit it anytime we like. There's plenty of it already, and it's perfect as it is. No need...

I think the production on The Book of Souls: Live Chapter is great. Tony Newton should produce the next studio album.

... and a good singer.

"Almost the same setlist" = "might change slightly" = "1 or 2 songs", I think.

Bruce hinted that 1 or 2 songs may be switched on the 2019 tour. People are speculating about what they might be. Don’t see anything wrong with that.

Would it be? Once they opened an encore set with Journeyman. Not exactly a hard-rocking opening. That said, yeah, probably Stranger in a Stranger Land is an unlikely addition. Still, I think The Evil that Men Do is the prime candidate for replacement in 2019. Maybe with Still Life? Nah...

I can see Maiden dropping The Evil that Men Do for a deep cut like Stranger in a Strange Land or Caught Somewhere in Time. That would be most cool. I don't see them dropping any of the songs from the "war" and "religion" sets, as they would have to drop them for similarly themed songs. The...

Мой брат! Я тоже люблю Мать Россию!

Wow, that crowd at the Beat Club sucked. They were waiting for Bruce, I guess.

Updated the thread title to be less provocative. Also in case Bruce Bruce is reading this forum, don't want to offend him. (I've already caught hell from Robert Fripp for some comments on the current King Crimson line-up in another forum. Don't like pissing off my heroes!)

Aaaaggghhhhh!!!!! My eyes!!!!!!! Worst Eddie ever!!!!! Bring on the next one, please!

There’s no escape from Maiden, that’s for sure!

Check out this awesome high-quality video from 1981, which I had never seen before:

Yes, that's what I meant.

Ripped off is probably too strong. But the close similarities are definitively there. Surprised that you don’t hear it. Listen to the opening riff. It’s very close to Powerslave.

Ritchie Blackmore kicks so much ass. Yes, he's a very weird guy. But in my opinion he's the greatest rock guitarist ever. He has incredible feel, mixing blues and classical styles. His solos always sound so.. seductive.

When it comes to rock music, Maiden is #1. However I also love other artists, including Ritchie Blackmore, especially his Dio-era Rainbow work. I honestly never paid much attention to post-Dio Rainbow, as I considered it too poppy and commercial. I'm familiar with the big radio hits, but I...
