Ah right, I thought you meant that a song got dropped and replaced by Wrathchild. Did Wrathchild get replaced or did they just play one less song after that?

What got dropped? I can't recall.

He could have helped steer them through 50yrs of delicious success in a notoriously fickle imdustry. Imagine if he did that... Also, I love how the irony of the OP has been utterly missed by many. Still it's resulted in some interesting chat.

I dunno, how longs it been since they dropped a song after one or 2 shows? Paschendale in 2010? That's like 5 tours with maybe 6 or 7 distinct setlists over 14yrs without any songs being dropped early. Maybe it's time to let this one go, to forgive and forget. Who am I kidding, I'll never...

Slayer would be a legendary band that I've never had any time for. I've tried but no, not a flickering of enjoyment to be had. In terms of the Beatles, I wouldn't say I dislike like them but I just don't care at all. They have some jaunty numbers that I'll enjoy if they come on the radio but...

Yah, totally. A friend of mine was a gig photographer for a while and he said he got full of himself, thought he was important. It's an easy trap to fall into. Especially if you're at a high (coke fuelled) level

It actually felt weird to read you man Chins name the first time. Real Live One maybe. I was thinkin "oooh, what happened to Halfin? Is something wrong?!" Weird levels of fandom, I suppose. Like, I found Derek Riggs book a hard read. I assumed that they were all friends and in it together...

Re Ross Halfin, I connected with the name because it was in all the Maiden credits and felt an affinity with him, as fans do but then I seen 12 Wasred Years many years ago and I thought "this guys a total prick." So yeah, I can get that he's hard to work with. Total iconic snapper though. Re...

I've heard Bruce criticise US adlidiences many times, for their lack of energy and involvement during live shows. So I wouldn't be surprised if the band and Rod intentionally avoid trying too hard in America. They are successful everywhere else anyway so they are in a position of strength...

Nailed it. Although I'd add a couple of hours surfing each day to earn the Pints. Hawaii is good for that. Dave has it sussed.

Was the Dave retirement thing ever substantiated in any way? I can't recall. But yeah, he strikes me as happy enough, he jams with his mates like Alice Cooper when in Hawaii, maybe that's all the music he needs. For all we know he writes plenty of beautiful slow intro pieces and plays them on...

Then there's Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic. Some said he was the natural successor to Hendrix but the booze and drugs got him. I dont really bother listening to Maggot Brain but its impressive for a 17yr old

I like this guys way, John Butler.

I can't remember specifics but I seem to recall good contributions into discussions about the early days and who wrote what when, that kind of thing.

I think this is harsh. Luisima clearly has insider knowledge beyond pretty much anyone else on this forum. I get it if people don't like being sold stuff on here but I don't think that trying to sell his books is a bad thing. This is exactly the place to flog such wares. I've bought his books...

Definitely true, I seen it in one of the Young Guns films

Sex work is work too, bro. You consider sex workers as debasing individuals? How lovely. Honour and dignity? Oh my, this whole sentence is so riddled with repression, holier-than-thou judgement, utter toxicity. And a mod response? For a different kind of advice to a guy who A - suggested it...

Scarred for life. Wow. That's not exactly a shining recommendation haha. It's also not a common reaction, in my experience.

And what exactly is wrong with sex clubs and swinging?! Na, I jest, of course. I see how such chat could be considered as lowering the tone. But also fuck it, its my version of 'dating.' Note - I would have inserted an smiley/funny/laughing type emoji at the end but it was such hard work I...

Can't think of a band with only one album but in terms of songs I'd say Elbow. I think they are garbage but Grounds for Divorce is an absolute banger. I'll say that I've never listened to a full album but they've had plenty of hits that I've heard and I saw them live (free ticket). I intended...
