So, Rime, SSOASS, Murders and Killers aren't deep cuts? Because they have each been played on one (!) tour the past 26 years? They are live deepcuts.

Bruce says "what?" Seriously, MoM is probably my least favorite Bruce studio moment.

Lightning is awesome.

I thought it was awesome.

No, I don't think there is a single filler song on AMOLAD. I don't like Prophecy, because the vocals don't gel with the music. I like Madness quite a bit, but even as a new Maiden fan, I certainly wasn't going "wow what a great song". AMOLAD is more even, though I will say that SSOASS peaks higher.

AMOLAD is one of my two favorite Maiden records, and I would agree that there aren't any obvious anthems. Still a collection of some of the best songs Maiden have made though.

Many of us became fans just a few years after, and I distinctly remember Steve saying in 2006, right before AMOLAD, how it might be their last album and that every show can be their last and that's why he treasures every single one. Here we are, 19 years down the road. I am very much happy...

I doubt it. How about a disposable rain poncho?

And most setlists are good for the first timers, as long as they contain the absolute hits - which this set certainly does, and more.

Now that is true, though it so happens that these opinions and taste very often convert into a whinefest because Maiden don't cater to one's personal preferences, or become the focal point of all discussions. Detail orientation sometimes gets in the way of ones own enjoyment. It is very fair to...

Well, playing the same song over and over is about as realistic as Steve singing Hallelujah in falsetto dressed in a minister's robe, which is so outrageous an argument that you can't even prove a point with it. :smartarse: Though I would love to see a setlist with Angel, Invaders, Quest and...

No, it really isn't. This could very well be it. Enjoy the moment, because it may be your last gig. We should be happy they are touring this cycle at all, let alone bringing in some killer and epic songs. "More wants More", is however, a bit of a poor argument.

Putin has been offered many defacto concessions. They have tried that, but ultimately he isn't interested in anything other than Ukraine surrendering. Putis doesn't seem to be into saving face, but rather, he has doubled down over and over.

I really, really dislike No Prayer. I can cut Lulu some slack, considering it's more of a Lou Reed album with Metallica as the backing band than Metallica featuring Lou Reed. Maiden should have taken a break in 1990 and saved ...Daughter and perhaps Tailgunner for FoTD instead.

I'd vote for Lulu over No Prayer.

SSoaSS has The Prophecy, which ruins an otherwise perfect track streak. AMOLAD wins.

Sure, but Best of The Beast, which got the ball rolling, Ed Huntour + the game were retrospective and a celebration of the band's career. BNW was a bit of a gamble in terms of viability of Maiden as a (current) recording artist, after several albums of relative flops, especially since Maiden...

I think it is quite telling that he isn’t credited on the physical release. He told them not to credit because he did not want his name on that turd and he wanted to cover his back. No top, or even decent, mastering engineer would generate that level of distortion. I would imagine they had...

Wow. That's a heavy number - congrats!

Oh, I'm not joking. I find that likely if Shirley goes off.
