    That's kind of the thing with conventions though. You pay to take pictures with folks. If you'd meet them anywhere but a convention, a picture would be free. Honestly, there's nothing to be outraged or surprised about here, not more than over water being wet anyway.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Well, the single most prominent feature of that Bruce mix is the massive kick with a massive low end That is the same thing that absolutely makes Live Chapters (which is a good sounding record, unlike Night of the Dead, or, the first K.K's Priest record. No wonder Downing booted Newton from the...

    Who knows, maybe they met for a pint.

    Bruce Dickinson

    He talks about compression first and foremost on his vocal channel and the WL compression from his Shure mic live. So he is talking about specific instances of compression, not in general terms. (and then about how they cleaned up the BTP distortion as a separate matter).

    New Bruce Interview

    My notes: I watched all but the final 10 minutes yesterday. First 40 minutes are essentially the cancer thing and the two of them getting into the interview comfort zone. Talk about how he's an enemy of all things sugar in his diet, and how he hates drinking cold water (which is also bad for the...

    Judas Priest

    I listened to it in its entirety yesterday, for the first time in ages. I think it's a terrific body of work, but a very poor "Judas Priest" album, and especially not an album where you pick and run with the goodies only. You have to treat it as a single work and listen to the whole thing and...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Well, he doe say that he is trying to sing with as much sound technique as he can. Which is like, the number one thing aside from sleeping and drinking water. "Yeah, I'm not doing anything other than making sure I do everything with (massive) skill and I don't damage my body by partying and...

    Blaze Bayley

    Well, The Chemical Wedding certainly is heavier than Maiden.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Nope. He does sing on All You Need To Know though. Edit: Ah, my brain skipped the second clause.

    I'm currently playing through the LP.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    There are two plus a live album (and an EP). Some of Kai’s and Kiske’s finest works as far as I am concerned.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Have you heard Unisonic?

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Yeah, I'd certainly call the first Unisonic album "great" and the second one is very good too.

    Judas Priest

    Honestly - Yes, because again, on the same record, there's Eat Me Alive where's there's no innuendo. It is explicit. It wouldn't be a far reach for me to get the sexual innuendo of Jawbreaker too, although probably not specifically the gay undertones, which requires more context.

    Judas Priest

    Sure, I've boldened all the relevant words and phrases in the lyrics. :D Deadly as the viper Peering from its coil The poison there is coming to the boil Ticking like a time bomb The fuse is running short On the verge of snapping if it's caught And all the pressure that's been building up For...

    I mean... It isn't that subtle.

    The X Factor Vs. Senjutsu

    I think you can make bridging arguments for a lot of albums inbetween two instances in time. This one applies too, sure.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I don't think Doors sounds uncomfortable, just that his voice is a bit husky nowadays with age.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    It was glorious. Bruce had to essentially cue the band back in.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Niche in terms of appeal and viability as a ticket selling act. That's how it has been for almost everybody not named Ozzy Osbourne.
