Just looked at the setlist. Wow. Didn't expect many deep cuts or surprises, but to be THAT lame... Not gonna spoil but all you people who hoped for some true unearthing of some gems... You won't be smiling.

Currently the band is asking fans on social media to keep the use of mobile phones during the show to a reasonable minimum. Good luck with that. Appelling to people's common sense, now THAT'S gonna work well, lol. Either ban phones (like Ghost did), or be prepared to meet an ocean of mobiles as...

Martin can't stand Andy Sneap. He has some serious grudge against him. Andy seems to be holding less anger, but is ultimately sick of being attacked all the time. Understandably. I know neither of them in person, but Martin seems to have a history of feeling sidelined and being underpaid. Wether...

As with many Maiden albums, I flow somewhat differently than the majority of fans. To most people VXI rates as their weakest albums, I rate it middle tier. Ironically, the one song that many people consider the only great song here, is one of the weak tracks on the album to me: The Clansman...

Unlikely. Even though I am sure that Tarja would immediately say yes if they asked. They asked Izzy, he declined. Several times. He is still pissed at Axl and it's unlikely he will ever rejoin fully. Steven would cut off his testicles and sell his mom for a reunion, but he is not up to the...

So much better than the original. Same, wipes the floor with the original. Same. Most people think that this is the original (including Sabaton, lol), but it is not.

Transcendence Into the Peripheral is yet another masterpiece of Doom and was quite important to me. The atmosphere is very funereal, but the blast outbreaks place it in the Death Doom category. The album is very overlooked. Most people seem to prefer Into Darkness by Winter, which I also like...

Interesting, as I have a very different opinion. The Sound, while muddy and strange, adds PERFECTLY to the overall atmosphere. It sounds ancient. As if some creature older than time is heaving underneath the earth. Stormcrowfleet is one of the greatest Funeral Doom albums of all time. It's my...

Really surprised to see an Anathema thread here. As I am a Doom Metal musician, this band was quite important to me in their early days. Their first three albums were milestones of Doom, and also the Pentecost III EP. The 4th album was not Doom anymore but still is a master piece. They lost me...

I also think a 100 minutes show is possible and also appropriate for a tour like this, but I guess it will be a bit shorter. As for the setlist, it wouldn't be bad. Kick out TTAL and replace it with something good from 7th Son, and it's fine (not too far from my wishlist). All the boring stuff...

If Maiden hired me as their setlist creator (and they should, they really need consultation, and asking this forum only results in poor advice), the setlist would be: Be Quick or Be Dead Wrathchild The Prisoner Still Life Deja Vu Judas Be My Guide The Trooper No Prayer For The Dying Killers...

I would bet money that most of these hot takes won't actually happen. They won't open with NOTB, they WILL play tracks from SIT, they won't play Infinite Dreams. No tracks from NPFTD will unfortunately probably be true. No Aces High is also likely.

This sentence makes my poor old math teacher rotate in his grave... ...even though I agree there is no chance that those songs won't be played.

Viking Metal IS a thing, it's a subgenre of Black Metal. It's not simply a question of lyrics. Thyrfing, Falkenbach, Einherjer, Turisas, Enslaved, several Bathory albums....

Whatever they are, they are far from "true death Metal". It's basically for people who usually don't listen to death Metal. I don't know a single death Metal maniac who listens to that band. It's mostly people who don't listen to extreme stuff at all. No offense, if you like them it's cool...

Lol, what?! This is factually wrong on every level. Opeth can't be even called progressive death metal. They were melo death in the early days, then turned into progressive rock gradually. Progressive death is bands like Atheist, Cynic, mid-era Pestilence, later Death, Gorguts, Edge of Sanity...

Don't get me wrong, I definitely acknowledge the importance of these albums, but your reasoning here is beyond me. They are "certified classics" so they must be good... This is exactly why bands like Beatles and Led Zep are so overblown. They are certified, so they MUST be good/special/genius...

And I back you up. 70s Priest has much less Hits than 80s Priest. Sad Wings and SAS are rather boring, they get relevant on my map with British Steel.

Opeth is insanely overrated, no matter what era we are talking about. They do have some cool songs on My Arms Your Hearse and Blackwater Park, but not remotely enough to justify their status.

I find Kiss hugely entertaining, I just don't care much about the music.. Their early stuff is a blatant Beatles rip off with some added heaviness. Then they went disco when it was hip, only to become glam when it was big, and then give alternative a try in the early 90s. A total...
