    What if Adrian played/wrote some of Janick's solos?

    The song being a leftover doesn't mean the solo was already written. They record them wiihout properly writing them as far as I know, even if Smith tends to be more careful than Murray.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Well, Mankind is part of Nature, no doubt. But saying that businesses mimic nature is a pure (maybe uncouncious, I will leave you the benefit of doubt) liberal (in the economic sense of the word) discourse. There is nothing "natural" there, nor in the so-called "market". There are not...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Putting business, organisation and nature in the same sentence to talk about a babd is a real feat. Bands are businesses and brands, but they are much more than that. An do you really think Rod would help build a Steveless Maiden ? Come on... In the songs you are alluding to, Steve did not...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    I couln't disagree more. Motörhead couln't exist without Lemmy. He was the band, and Steve is Maiden. Him not being the frontman is of no importance. He's the band's identity, without him the band would turn into something else. And Lizzy without Lynott is a shame. That was his baby. I guess...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    This thead and your comments has helped me to get into Opeth. I didn't know how to listen to this band: each time I tried something, I fell upon very different stuff and couldn't understand what kind of band I was listening to. After repetedly listening to most of their records (I haven't tried...

    Was Fear of the Dark a crowd-pleaser in the 90's?

    Perfect answer. When I saw them in Paris in 1992, this song wasn't a particuliar stand out. Then, the amazing version on A Real Live One did a lot to improve its status.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Well, given all his past efforts to buy all the royalty rights from former members (which I'm sure isn't only a business move), I'm 100 % sure he has already done everything, with Rod's help, to make sure that nothing could happen without him. Should he disappear all of a sudden, I'm sure we...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Last year, you wrote that basically, the songs didn't suffer from Nicko's disminished technical abilities. And now ypu complain because they chose a less technical drummer. Him and Steve ate really really tight live. That's the point that matters.

    Maiden inspired from a Bollywood song?

    Most Adrian riffs are quite generic, and you can hear them elsewhere (2minutes..). It's Bruce vocal lines that make their songs special

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Sad. I guess this is bad news for those who expect a new Bruce album.

    Nicko McBrain retires

    He wasn't. He almost always leaves the stage very late, just befor Nicko, and waves at the crowd. This time he left early and I'm sure that's because he didn't want to be emotional in front of a crowd.

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Really? Didn't know that. Could you elaborate please ?

    Nicko McBrain retires

    He did, and was submitted to full scale interrogatory by Rod, so tight that Steve had to put an end to it.

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Yes, next time, I will submit my statements to you before posting, to avoid displeasing you. Remember most of you were discussing his downfall and potential replacement a few days ago. The discussion has just turned more concrete and I voiced my opinion without being rude to anyone, contrary to...

    Nicko McBrain retires

    50% of their sound if not more ??? Come on. I don't want to look rude, but sadness alters your mind. What about the bass sound, Davey's tone and Bruce's voice ? More importantly, the guy does not write songs, which means that a good drummer will be able to replicate his parts, and certainly with...

    Nicko McBrain retires

    I didn't realize. I try not to follow them that much when I don't attend any gig on a tour.

    Nicko McBrain retires

    By the way, sensible move form Maiden not to announce his replacement in the same statement.

    Nicko McBrain retires

    He must have struggled terribly on this tour. I didn't expect him to step back in the middle of the tour. Shit, it's so sad, just a few weeks after Paul's death. The pressure on his replacement is going to be terrible.

    Replacing Nicko?

    He can't. He is a solid drummer in a heavy rock band. No way he can play Maiden songs. We all know who is meant to get the job. Anyway, at their age, the most important thing is to be confortable with each other, and for Steve, being tight with is drummer is more important than anything else...

    NOW PLAYING

    I just can't believe some crazy idiots are gonna release very soon a new record under the name Thin Lizzy. Who's gonna buy this without Lynnot. I hate Gorham for that.
