Screaming is definitely one of the best Priest albums in my opinion, solid from start to finish and not suffering from all the filler that was on the last two albums. I love Devil's Child, it definitely does have that AC/DC style riffage though, and is a bit different from Priest. Think the Dio...

Man on the Edge wouldn't have made my top 3 either, but I do like the track, remember playing it over and over when it was released. For my top three I've voted, 1. The Aftermath 2. Look for the Truth 3. Fortunes of War

I don't get his point here about Steve Harris having something to hide by saying that if the song is credited to him then he wrote it. To me it sounds like he was asked a question about songwriting, and answered with the fact that if it is credited to him, then he wrote it. Seems quite straight...

Heading Out To The Highway, is a fantastic Priest song and I’d include it in a list of their greatest tunes. Desert Plains I love, it is one of those songs I’d class as, “a brilliant deep cut.” Other than that I have little time for that album, other than watching the promo video for Hot Rockin...

Been doing a few more guitar solos in rehearsal and have gone back to Maiden to have a go at The Trooper -

Thoroughly enjoyed the gig in Aberdeen at the weekend, thought the sound was much better than at the Hydro in Glasgow last year. Highlights for me were Revelations and For the Greater Good of God. Slightly regretting not getting a ticket for London now, oh well, maybe I’ll do more dates on the...

I feel British Steel is lauded more due to containing the bands big hits and really being their mainstream breakthrough album. The first four songs are all classics, though I don’t really need to ever hear Breakin’ The Law again I do realise that it is a great song. After that though the album...

Yeah looking forward to the Nadal Djokovic semi, does really feel like the final now. Not a big Federer fan, but would have been good to see him in the final against either Nadal or Djokovic.

My band recently filmed a promo video for one of the songs from our latest album, Work Work Work. Haven’t fully completed editing the footage yet, but have put up a clip of the guitar solo for now -

Got plenty in the WH Smith in Edinburgh that I frequent.

The new issue of Rock Candy mag, issue 8 KISS cover, has an article on the Blaze years ... https://www.rockcandymag.com/latest-issue Is available in UK today, I usually get my copy in WH Smith.

When Two Worlds Collide is one of my favourite tunes from the two Blaze albums, so I’d love them to play that on tour, and would be great to subsequently get it as a live b-side on a future Maiden single ... alas I doubt either of those things will ever occur ...

Pretty hard to narrow it down to five, but the following are probably the bands I’ve listened the most and had the biggest influence on me in the past 20 years are, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Status Quo, Thunder & Rush

Though the part 3 documentary wasn’t put together quite as well as the previous two, I’ve enjoyed the series and wouldn’t like to see it end there. Definitely want more and obviously it is coming to quite an interesting time in the bands history with first Adrian leaving and then Bruce. As for...

1. Bruce Dickinson – Accident of Birth 2. Psycho Motel – Welcome to the World 3. A.S.A.P – Silver & Gold 4. Psycho Motel – State of Mind 5. Bruce Dickinson – Chemical Wedding Found it hard to separate the top two, both I think are amazing from start to finish, listened...

Bowes and Morley of Thunder. Coverdale and Marsden back in the classic Whitesnake era.

For me it is the Maiden one, though I don’t have it down as one of my favourite albums by them. But I don’t like Zeppelin at all or Sabbath until Dio joined, and for me there are two great songs on Van Halen, Running With the Devil, & Ain’t Talkin Bout Love, the rest is complete filler.

The guitarist in my band, Vantage Point, had a go at the solo for Run to the Hills in rehearsal last week.
