Don't get the line up issues, no way Maiden-adjacent no mark bands like Saxon and Helloween and the likes that people are crying for would pull in any punters who wouldn't have been there otherwise, whereas The Darkness and The Hu might.
Individuals aren't a team. Solo Harris has by far the most classics.
Best team is Smith/Dickinson/Harris, most of the tracks that get the Smith/Dickinson team a high rating are really Smith/Dickinson/Harris tracks.
The original lyric sheet has coming underlined which kind of undermines a lot of it. I'm not a fan of the lyrics for that reason, but like you say, by the standards of 1982 they aren't as misogynistic as they might have been.
Only have Infestissumam and 13. Both good, Infestissumam didn't have the songs of the first record and 13 is hardly an album you pull off the shelf when you feel like putting on Sabbath, but there isn't anything wrong with them
Transylvania
Drifter
No real answer as I wouldn't say I love them, but Invaders and Gangland both get undue stick
Sun and Steel
Back in the Village
Heaven Can Wait
Can I Play with Madness
Hooks in You
Weekend Warrior
Look for the Truth
The Angel and the Gambler
No real answer, if anything people...
Fairly sure that the video footage on my video from back in the day was definitely not all from the same gig, just judging by crowd shots and details from the venues. Not sure what's on the DVD release or the expanded MTV version as don't think I've ever watched either
How is it a wasted opportunity?
They arent restricted to anniversaries to release things. I got the Live and Dangerpus one a few years ago and dont think it was marking any anniversary. They can release a box set in the future if they want, this release wont impede that
Glad they didnt release...
Primal Rock Rebellion is decent enough, British Lion has some great songs but let down by the production, I remember the Van Halen album being fine at the time but I probably haven't listened to it since then.
You have edited my statement there in a way that makes it mean something I didn't intend. I meant "it's ok" as a single statement, and then that as usual since 2004 the lyrics are too dumb even allowing for Mustaine's low bar for lyrics at the best of times.
