What's the problem with the guy?

Thank you. That's great. I've checked a few songs and their rendition was better than in the Paris gig.

Do you have specific and reliable info on the way he wrote the songs? I'd be really interested. Btw, though, the songs were written and recorded before the covid crisis and the lockdowns.

Of course. Mediocre song, the only one I always skip on that great album.

Any other generic stop-and-go hard-rock song. Dadaboom, dadaboom, dadaboom, dadada, dadada...

I fully agree. Hellfest don't always negotiate an exclusivity clause (Maiden played Arras just a days after Hellfest in 2014), butthere would be no arena gig for sure.

Revelations is one of Maiden's most overrated song. The music is weak, unoriginal and the lyrics are pretentious. CSIT is in another league.

I don't think Steve writes everything in the studio. He has rough ideas, melodies, whole passages written through the years, and it's in the studio that he patches them together (or with others's ideas) to create proper songs.

Those guys have completely lost it. Berserker was boring, Jomsviking was not really better. I think this has something to do with their declared ambition to fill stadiums. All those so-called anthems can be ridiculous.

Fuck, my heart jumped in my chest when I saw the email advising me of the post. 7 years late, mate.

I chanced upon a Be'lakor a few months ago, and I've since gone through all their discography. Some songs may be too long and some parts repeated too much, but we all know here ths isn't enough to ruin a song.

A few months ago, I've chanced upon a Be'lakor album, and I've gone since through all their discography. I can't believe how good they are. Some songs may be too long, and some parts repeated too much, but we all know here that this can't ruin a song.

Well, putting 2AM and Powerslave on the same level as Rime is just beyong my understanding.

Hell, I'm stunned. 2am, Powerslave ? This is turning into a new "blasphemy" thread. And Revelations won the preceeding round

They used to be chosen by Steve and Bruce, with an eye from Rod. After Bruce's cancer, Steve decided that it was fair to let him chose the songs he wanted/could sing. Steve has explicitly told that in interviews before and during the 2016 tour.

You're right, but did you read anything from him post 2020, appart from those little bits in the fan club mag ?

Steve don't do press for Maiden, neither for British Lion. Or have I missed something ? It seems that he doesn't want to take time for this.

This. Maiden will obviously tour for their new album, although it is not that new.

In recent interviews (say, the last 5 years), Smith seems to try to reevaluate his role in the band. He talks more about himself, about his songwirting. It seems to me he wants to highlight his importance in the band's dynamics.
