I must say that I'm getting a bad feeling here, with the mention of all the keyboards. If not used right, it can really harm the music. :eek:

You're absolutely right. The artwork is definitely better presented on vinyls. One of my all-time favorites is Rainbow Rising, which is just not the same on CD. I've never collected things just for the sake of collecting them, but I don't have a problem with people doing so. Growing older, I...

I've been a Maiden-fan since 1988 and never had the urge to own more than one copy of every release. I see that a lot of people here order 2-4 copies of Senjutsu. Why? What is the benefit? Am I not normal? ;)

Nope, you're not the only one. I share the same strong principles. Usually, there is no delivery delay, when going to your local record store. Knock on wood. :)

Exactly, I wanna hold on to this feeling as long as possible. You can't beat the excitement of going to the store. I'll never ever forget the day, when I went to the record store after a long week's work and found Photo-Finish by Rory Gallagher on vinyl. It was long before it came out on CD...

It sounds like the yodel school of the famous German comedian Loriot. :D

To me, playing the vocal melody on guitar works far better on Stratego than on The Red And The Black (where it annoys me to this day).

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm oldschool and need to connect them to my 30-year-old stereo. :innocent:

Thank you, I appreciate it. :ok:

I definitely prefer to listen to new music in my headphones. However, my headphones are very cheap, so I want to invest in some which are suited for heavy metal and rock in general, but I have no clue what to buy. Can anyone please recommend me a good pair at a decent price?

I understand your concern. I always preper to have the lyrics nearby upon listening to the music.

Haha, I was only making fun. Obviously, everybody is bound to know everything there is to know about Senjutsu one day after the release. :D

I had a vision in my dreams last night: on the 4 September, Senjutsu will be available to the public everywhere - all songs - and everybody will discuss it everywhere, even Gods and Goddesses. :innocent:

I have a subscription for Rocks magazine. I believe that they have an overall good quality and a good mix of bands and stories. Six magazines per year suits me just fine. :)

Usually, I need about 7 years to digest a Maiden album as to finally decide, if I like it or not, so if I were working for a magazine, I guess that my reviews would be a bit outdated by then. Perhaps, I could benefit from calling it "Delayed Ejaculation Music Magazine" or something like that...

Even good friends can agree to disagree. Although, it's fun to read reviews and sharing opinions, we all have our own preferences, so in the end we don't know, if we are in for a treat or not. I tend to look for comments and hints between the lines, kinda searching for fans who think like...

Apparently, I used an "alternative" spoiler warning, but I hope that you are able to read it anyway. Else, please let me know, how I have to do this spoiler-thing. :innocent:

Finally, I made it back home from Holland. Here is the translation of the interview with Bruce, presented in the German Rocks magazine. Please bear over with me, if some expressions are not 100% correctly translated. ;)

I hope, my copy is in the mailbox, when I get home from my holiday in Holland on Saturday. It has to, else I'll kill Bill aka the mailman. :innocent: In case FTB or Perun left out interesting parts in their translations, I'll be glad to keep you posted (and get my two minutes of fame). However...

I guess that they refer to the Dio era, cause he used a lot of drama and storytelling in the lyrics. Just imagine, Maiden being able to create Stargazer part II or blend in a little bit of magic from Gates of Babylon. Again, I could die a happy man. :)
