Not Avalon for sure.

Off the top of my head I can think of the interlude between solos in Moonchild (E - B - Bb), of the Wasting Love arpeggio (the second chord is D11/C which includes a C - F# tritone), of Sign of the Cross in the instrumental breakdown before the fast part and of Speed of Light. The solo section...

Fear is the Key? The first picture has Gachnar from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, from an episode called "Fear Itself", while the second is from another Buffy episode in which Dawn (the girl in the picture) learns she's "the Key". So, Fear = the Key, Fear (is) the Key. Fear is the Key is also the...

Revisiting the famous jam with Deep Purple, Once again I find myself wishing Janick was more controlled. Here he's jamming with STEVE MORSE and doing an amazing work. Also if he stuck more to his own recorded work that would be amazing. His solo on Death of the Celts is fantastic, too bad he...

Yes, which almost nobody suspected until that video came out.

Iron Maiden themselves start as a band deeply influenced by the prog / blues rock scene, rather than seminal heavy metal or hard rock. Dave's idol was Hendrix, not Blackmore or Iommi, to say one.

If you follow my self-quote at previous page we discussed why and how Nicko's style is different from the standard HM drumming (specifically because of his models and pre-IM career and of his refusal of double bass).

I'll mention only one sog: Where Eagles Dare. Arguably Nicko's most famous drum part, regarded by many as his best. And it has little if nothing to do with heavy metal drumming.

I quote myself on Nicko:

Great detail on the Japan limited t-shirt: The six of them are wearing The Final Frontier-themed t-shirts. Dave Murray is wearing the special t-shirt which was put on charity sale after the Great East Earthquake of 2011, which forced Maiden to cancel the only two Japanese dates for that tour.

Considering this is one of the songs originally written during the VXI sessions and discarded, it definitely was written with Blaze in mind.

If you're in your mid-to-late 50s and crying unter YouTube videos, I daresay Janick Gers's tenure with Iron Maiden is not the biggest problem you have in your life.

It's common rule in every orchestra whatever its size. The first violin is called concertmaster precisely because he or she is the conjunction between the director and the rest of the orchestra.

I didn't even look at them, what's the tone? Janick should stay home, they were better before Bruce joined?

Yeah, exactly like his idol Ritchie Blackmore. The man in black was an INCREDIBLE rhythm guitarist but he simply hated playing non-solo parts.

Their "obsession with the early days" is a mere marketing move. Vintage never grows old.
