The new album is, well, generic Sabaton. I don't think it's stronger than the previous one. Some interesting and cool stuff, ofc - and solos(!). Best songs: ''Templars'', ''Hordes Of Khan'', ''Maid Of Steel'' (first 2 albums style), ''Lightning At The Gates''. more: cool drumming and...

Good call, even the Keeper is talking lol... their new show is over the top of the things he mentioned. But the moving screen, during this song, is cool and effective in its own way. Imagine the same for Maiden's TFP tour, it would have been noticeable. Not to mention the moving metal eagle. The...

Short version of the ballad?? I think Andi's voice is perfect for In The Middle Of A Heartbeat. The chorus of King For A 1000 Years is pure Keepers era, so it's fitting for Kiske. Btw, is King also shorter? What's the point.

This is one of their most interesting setlist in a long time. They promised rare songs. One of their best? Not sure. Overall it's quite solid for the mixed themes. Btw, combining an anniv tour and a new album tour saves them time. For a 40th anniv/new album tour, they are playing songs from...

I didn't know that I Live My Way was the first song recorded and that Steve considered it to be a single. Curious but correct decision not to be. Agreed about the B-sides. They didn't fit on a single CD is also a good call. Agreed about I Live My Way, but I wouldn't call Judgement Day (it's...

I can't believe the Helloween cover is out! :mad: A true winner. Semi Finals: MATCH 1 3 Mastodon - Leviathan +1 0 Dio - Holy Diver MATCH 2 2 Vektor - Terminal Redux +1 1 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper Holy Diver is iconic, but Leviathan is so beautiful. Instant like. I want to revenge by not...

Venger - From Worlds Unknown First single from Saxon's Doug Scarratt debut solo album. 2 guitarists. A surprise. I dig it. Melodic and riffy (power metal-esque) with nice vocals and solo (Doug deliver with it and the main melody/harmonies), the chorus is interesting. The songs themes and...

KISS - New York Groove (live) Take a bow, Ace! :notworthy:<3 One of the best rock/metal guitarists of all time. Legend!

MATCH 1 4 Dio - Holy Diver +1 0 Rainbow - Rising MATCH 2 2 King Diamond - Abigail 2 Mastodon - Leviathan +1 MATCH 3 2 Helloween - Helloween +1 2 Vektor - Terminal Redux MATCH 4 3 Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell +1 1 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper Easy vote for Bat II, not that I...

I Live My Way is fun live. All TXF songs bring like a unique vibe and all are good imo, for their approach, style or whatever. Not full concert though, Judgement Of Heaven is missing. Blaze is doing well, the songs are still not easier for him though. Why the B-sides weren't included on the...

Turbo and SWOD is an odd combo, but at least it will be something different and it's better than taking a year off. Maybe just for 1 year and the new album will be released in 2028? (or 2027 if they're ready since the ideas are a lot, but Ian said they are in no rush). Turbo is a great combo...

Iirc, live releases were planned from 2007, 2013 and 2005? Notable live releases from tours (live albums, videos) that we still need: more stuff from 1980 & 1981 tours (or maybe Rainbow and Maiden Japan are their only footage). full BOH video (even if darker). 1983 tour. Hammersmith 1984. LAD...

^How do we know this? They announced 2 dates, interesting. It looks like they'll write and record on the road again. Probably one of their most curious choices of a new tour theme for next year then, brand new one for 2 years (another hybrid?) or like a (atypical for them) 3rd year of IS, let's see.

Interesting to think about it, let's see: Transylvania: from the debut every song is popular more or less, but this is pure Maiden, one of their best instrumental ideas. Purgatory: as a 2nd single and being basically a catchy speed metal song, I don't think it gets the attention it deserves...

Isn't the next tour a new album tour with a break in 2026 for writing? Shield Of Pain Tour to continue? Isn't it like a 2nd leg of the IS Tour? Ram It Down is not easy, but they will manage it. Reckless studio vibe (Rob's vocals, agreed with your other examples) is tricky to replicate live...

Judgement Day is very good live, as expected. They even added a new harmony after the solos! I like this feature, it fits so well.

2013 is weak for me. Sacrifice - classic and heavier NWOBHM, what's not to like. It's a consistent album of theirs, a couple of the songs are weaker, but the overall material is solid. Battle Beast - their style and vocals are very likeable, this album's style is classic metal/WASP. I would...

MATCH 1 2 Dio - Holy Diver +1 1 Metallica - Master Of Puppets MATCH 2 2 Nightwish - Oceanborn +1 1 Rainbow - Rising MATCH 3 3 King Diamond - Abigail +1 0 Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion MATCH 4 3 Mastodon - Leviathan +1 0 Megadeth - Rust In Peace Holy Diver and Abigail are much better for me...

The choices (popular, deep cuts, songs to return) from all eras are still quite a few:
