Great gig. I haven't done a front-center thing in a long time and it was intense. The place was pretty packed. Must have been around 300-350 in the venue, which is not always the case for Blaze, so I imagine they were pretty happy with the turnout.

He is supposed to be on 20:40. :D

So Blaze is on early as the second act. I guess the guy wants to get on to the road quickly after his gig, or go to sleep or whatever.

I went last year for the Maiden set. He had both Appletons on guitar.

So this is a consequence of economic neo-liberalism, of americanization, and I agree - it rips the fabric of nations after a certain point. We see that everywhere in Europe, with a sense of hopelessness over a system not really working for your benefit. Now, I wouldn't want to live in the 1970's...

Here's a few bullet points off of the top of my head: * Sweden has subjected education to the market. There is no other country on earth that subjects the education system to free market principles on the tax payer's dime and lets for profit companies run schools. How do they create their...

Living in Sweden, which has gone from what has been described as the most leftist of western democracies, to the probably most americanized economy/market (and ever decreasing social safety nets and infrastructure austerity) in Europe in just a few decades, I really don't see it (and your...

Since you asked ChatGPT A, you might as well ask B. Here's the answer. You're blending two different concepts: capitalism and taxation levels. A country can absolutely be capitalist while having high taxes—because capitalism refers primarily to the economic system, not the tax rate. Here's...

The problem with No Prayer isn't the performances. It is the songwriting and the production, a clear step down from anything else Birch did for Maiden.

It's the same headline, and the same content in the article. The Daily Mail is essentially just parroting BILD. And saying Merkel is a communist is just ridiculous. She is a center-right politician.

I think you're underestimating how many times per hour they can play Wrathchild.

Considering there are three support acts, I'd say we're in for a late night. Doors at 7, three support acts. I don't expect Blaze to hit the stage earlier than 9:30-10PM and then maybe he's finished around 23:30? I'd suggest you'd get a room if you can manage it - I got one. Hotels in Jönköping...

This is nothing short of amazing.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15164671/Ex-German-Chancellor-71-blames-Poland-Baltic-states-Putins-war-Ukraine.html While I do think she simply is wrong in making this a factor (and to be clear, she has lamented Putin for the war many times before), I think you're taking the...

He doesn't need to end it, as they will never go to war on his watch.

Terrific news.

I think the concert t-shirt culture is a niche thing within a niche of music. Like me, for instance. I have very rarely bought a gig t-shirt. So my point is, there could be loads of other, older BD fans, but they just haven't bought any Bruce merch back in the day - and I take it many older fans...

I'd agree with that, but I don't believe that is what is happening here on Maidenfans, except for Vaenyr being argumentative in an arguments thread and you two are having a posting fight.

I have very fond memories of Edward the Great, as it was the first Maiden CD i laid my hands on, right before the release of Dance of Death. I think "best of" is a bit misleading though, as it's exclusively a compilation of album singles, save for the Fear of the Dark live track.

You could argue Vaenyr is being aggressive, dismissive and is behaving poorly from your point of view, sure. But saying Vaenyr is bullying simply isn't true. This is a heated thread which everyone here chooses to participate in, which in essence is all about the members proving that others of...
