    I saw the film yesterday and it was a reeeally fun experience. The concert footage looks and sounds amazing. I expected a little bit more of the story part but it was a nice addition anyway. The tension was building quite nicely throughout the scenes. Rant: Those fucking cinema commercials…...

    Wow, I checked out a few songs and it sounds great indeed!

    Two days since the gig and I'm still excited about that experience! This was the highest concentration of songs I love that I've ever witness live from any band (even Maiden!). It was a gem after gem after gem. Getting Accident, Chemical Wedding, Aquarius, Book of Thel and THE ALCHEMIST is...

    Not my video, but someone has already posted Darkside of Aquarius from tonight, so you can judge for yourself how Bruce did at the very end of the show. It’s a tough song in a tough spot, but I think he did well!

    Just came back from the Berlin gig. The setlist was amazing, all the songs I wished for where there. They changed the order quite a lot from previous gigs. Very surprised they played Darkside of Aquarius as THE LAST song. They didn’t play full Frankenstein but a super short version of it, which...

    Sad to see the setlist shortened - I hope it's just to help Bruce get better. I skipped a festival that's closer to me just to see a solo headline show with a few songs more, as it definitely was likely. I really hope Book of Thel makes a comeback, because it's my favourite.

    Wow! Definitely NOT mixed by Tony Newton.

    I find it totally understandable if he’s more into his own stuff than Maiden at this particular point. He’s just revived his solo career, it’s his baby, it’s more personal. But being more into it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about Maiden anymore. Even if the enthusiasm is not entirely the same...

    Welp, whoever it is, that explains it... Would be cool if it was Dave Murray's solo project but I guess he wouldn't make a guessing game out of something he had mentioned before.

    When it comes to Roy I assumed it could be some health issues and I still think it’s the most likely reason. I don’t mean to be insensitive with speculating on his private problems, but there is a video interview from a year ago or so, where Roy seems worryingly shaky despite his coherent...

    Rotating setlist seems very likely, so I'm curious if there's going to be a fixed rotation of two setlists or something more spontaneous. The songs that I care about the most are: Accident, Abduction, Chemical Wedding, Book of Thel and The Alchemist and it looks like all of them are pretty safe...

    The second setlist is even better than the first one, it has all the songs I wish to see the most. Close to perfect. I much prefer Starchildren over Laughing in the Hiding Bush and Book of Thel is probably my favourite song period, so that's great. I think Book of Thel could take place of the...

    This setlist is freaking fantastic. The Alchemist is literally a dream come true for me. Being used to Maiden not debuting previously unplayed tracks, I didn't expect it. Add Book of Thel and I'm totally over the moon. Damn, I think I would piss myself if I went to the gig blind and heard The...

    For me it's a good album with 8 songs ranging from great to fine, one "meh" track and one that is a total miss. I'd say it's pretty much Tyranny level overall. The two albums have different strengths but I guess I'll end up enjoying them at a similar level after recency bias goes away. It may...

    I wasn't blown away after the first listen, but we'll see how it is after more listens. The video is much better than Afterglow IMO.

    Interesting gear related detail at around 23:12. Sounds like Roy could have used some kind of Chemical Wedding tone profiles. It doesn't sound as good from what we've heard, but interesting nonetheless. I'm curious if they went the digital route overall.

    Blaze Bayley

    I dig the single. I like the vocals, particularly the chorus melody. Blaze sounds great. The instrumental arrangement is a bit simplistic, though, and perhaps doesn't do 100% justice to the overall idea for the song. Looking forward to the rest of the album. The cover is pretty nice, but the guy...

    Well said, I agree. Concept aside, the quality of the video is super low and I think there must have been a way to do it more tastefully even on this budget. But I'm happy if he's getting a kick out of realising his vision. On a positive note, I have to say I liked seeing Bruce in the clip...

    I think that image could have something to do with a potential video for the single. One week from now!
