Attended both shows in Krakow. It was my first time without spoilers and it was an amazing (and quite surreal!) experience. The performance was fantastic, I'm just in awe of how great they are at this point in their career. We're really lucky as fans. And Bruce in particular... I couldn't...

I actually like this cover a lot. It's really cool to hear a fun, heavy interpretation of Phantom. Perfect fit for Ghost musically and thematically. I'm glad he didn't try to reinvent the song. As for the vocals, I'm a fan of Ghost so I obviously like Tobias' voice, but I expected a little bit...

Most amps that I know usually feature an "emulated" DI out, which means it has a speaker simulation on it. And usually the simulation is not that great. The point of devices like Suhr Reactive Load or Captor X is to replace the cab, so you're able to send raw speaker out signal directly to the...

You need something like Captor X. With CAB M+ you still need to connect the cab, otherwise you can blow your amp. Captor allows you to do silent recording. Suhr Reactive Load would by a more premium device of this type. I had a very bad experience with CAB M+ and Two Notes in general, I guess...

A big question to me is whether they want to keep the SiT part and the Senjutsu part separate. Personally, I don't think it's worth it, but perhaps they are happy with the idea of "worlds" within a set, which allows for more elaborate theatrics, I guess. If they decide to do this kind of...

For my spot it was 575 PLN (roughly 120 euros) per ticket, both nights. GA tickets are available for around 71 euros.

Whaaaaat, second Kraków date? Wow! Tickets bought! Never thought I'll be able to see Maiden two days in a row, this is great.

From what I see, basic GA ticket is 345 PLN, which is roughly 71 euros. Mine was 575 PLN (in the stands, on the right side of the stage).

Hurray! Got my tickets for Cracow! And I reeeealy hope it’s going to stay first in the schedule. :)

Cool! How is it? Does this rig meet your expectations?

It just seems too unorthodox for a band that has been repeating certain patterns for decades. They opened previous history and album tours with respective openers and there were very few exceptions. They may play DoFP but I don’t see them opening with it. Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be...

Great, great news! I've always wished I could attend the first gig of a tour and now it's possible. Unless they add more dates before June 13... I think they will open with CSiT and I have nothing against slower speed or slightly simplified drumbeats. They might be stubborn enough to do it...

In my experience, all tube amps have been extremely loud when used without attenuation. My EVH 5150 LBX at 3.75W was just crazy. I mean - for me the usable range on the volume knob spanned like a millimeter. Even Marshall DSL1 was super loud. But maybe I'm too sensitive, because I prefer playing...

Yes, it is that simple. You plug your guitar into the interface and either open the standalone app and just play or open your DAW, create an audio track put the plugin on the track and record. The cool thing about recording this way is that you can change the sound after you tracked. You just...

That's debatable, I guess. In my experience, IRs gave better results than me miking the cab with an SM57. High quality impulses, such as Ownhammer or Bogren Digital, are relatively cheap and get you access to a variety of cabs, mics and mic mixes. Perfect for home recording. I recommend checking...

If you're aiming at home recording and you really want a tube amp, I'd advise to go for head + cab (unless the combo can send raw signal), so you could use something like Two Notes C.A.B./Captor or Suhr Reactive Load and record with IRs. Much more convenient than miking IMHO. I've tried a lot...

Warsaw was great, loved the show. The band seemed happy and full of life, the overall performance was great. Bruce was just phenomenal, he's unbelievable... What a voice STILL. The stage design looked spectacular and the 3 new songs + The Sign of the Cross are the highlights for me. The latter...

That's actually pretty tough. The X Factor is a fantastic, often underrated album. The Final Frontier - while not a top 3 reunion album - still represents my favourite incarnation of Maiden and has a lot of great stuff in it. I'm voting TFF but TXF is pretty close.

I love the 80s stuff like most of us, but modern Maiden is my favourite and BNW is probably top 3 albums material for me. So BNW easily.

Definitely Dance of Death. The Book of Souls - aside from the title track masterpiece - is full of uninspired, underdeveloped tracks. DoD is known to have some fillers, but I'd argue that the fillers are pretty decent and based on solid ideas.
