Then I'll have to go with Freak or Starchildren. Probably the former.

It'd be amazing if they added Alex as a one-off for Athens, but they're not that type of band unfortunately. Too set in their ways. Bleh, now you're starting with those pesky facts! :mad::p

1. Zulu Lulu 2. Fire 3. Headswitch 4. Toltec 7 Arrival (Kinda cheating I suppose) 5. Machine Men 6. Believil 7. Resurrection Men Also, y'all are crazy. Welcome to the Pit is one of the best songs on that album :P

Sure, but the popularity of The Clansman and Futureal prove the point that there are songs there that are widely recognized as good in the fandom (not talking about casuals), despite the production of that album.

But the fact that it is not forgotten proves that it is a "good" song, doesn't it? Or are you arguing that even bad songs become fan favorites due to being on legendary live albums?

I'm actually going through their discography at the moment and writing down all the keys and modes used in every song. Most are rather straight-forward but there are some where you can argue either way.

Nah, despite my obvious bias, VXI being my favorite Maiden album after all, there are a few songs on there that the fandom generally agrees are great. Futureal is one of their strongest rockers and The Clansman, thanks to RiR and LOTB, is a legendary track. If some of the VXI were on BNW, with...

Simon bought them quite a bit of time. I'm convinced we're getting another album.

I disagree with it being "total bullshit". A good prouction will elevate a good song. A bad production won't ruin it, but there's always going to be a nagging feeling of "this should've been different". Same thing with a "bad" song; a good production won't make it magically amazing but might...

Gotta separate the kick-ass riffs from the douchebag.

I saw Dream Theater, Maiden, and Cradle Of Filth (as well as Avatar, Naraka, and Nervosa as opening acts) in the span of five days. Ironically enough, despite technically being the most "tame" band musically, Maiden had the rowdiest and most aggressive crowd by far. At least close to the stage...

I know it's not what happened, but my brain connected the high "oooh" at the end of the verse with him stomping out the last of the fire, so my new head canon is that he burned himself and that's what Bruce sounds like when he's hurt :D

For sure? I doubt that lol

While I agree with your point, we should also call out bad faith criticisms that are simply complaining for the sake of complaining. Trying to criticize TFP (of all tours!) on the technicallity of not actually being "predominantly" about new material, when run-time wise a huge chunk of the...

The Future Past does not count in my opinion. Half the promotion and a third of the setlist were focused on the newest album. Another third of the setlist consisted of deepcuts and songs that hadn't been played in literal decades. They played a minimum amount of required classics, going so far...

Absolutely!

To be fair, does Roy Z seem happy about anything nowadays?

There's absolutely zero malice there. Nicko is known for constantly cracking jokes and you can practically hear his laughs and smiles when reading this interview. And of course he can't be replaced, he has his very own style. They didn't look for a Nicko clone (sorry Joe Lazarus), they...
