It is fascinating how so many people’s Saxon rankings can differ so wildly. But at the same time it is not surprising since they have so many eras and so much good music. You have the old school folks who tend to put the classic trilogy at the top. Then you have the folks who love the more...

How do you all feel about recycled riffs? Many bands are guilty of this, using common riffs or chords. But what about when you are copying yourself? Is it okay to rip yourself off so blatantly? I noticed these two Saxon songs from their two most recent albums and had to lol a bit...

I have several I would love: Somewhere on Tour ‘86 (Belgrade) No Prayer on the Road A good Blaze show or compilation AMOLAD Tour Maiden England 2012/13 (would love to hear those updated versions of the SSoaSS songs)

Do you click the upward arrow/carrot thing to collapse the ad? I agree though, the ads on this site are ridiculous.

Bruce’s arrogance and huge ego are so cringey. Maybe he should look back at when he sang Tears of the Dragon with Tribuzy down tuned. And it sounds great. Hypocrite!!

Who is Shacky?? And why do we care?

I’m glad they chose Simon rather than Joe. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed an exact replicant of Nicko’s style. You gotta have your own identity.

Correction: He is Maiden’s best drummer, without a doubt (in my mind).

I hope the new drummer retains some of the classic Nicko sound, but still has a style of their own. We don’t need a carbon copy (Joe), in my opinion. I’d like to hear relatively fresh versions of classic songs.

Precisely, I feel that those recent short rockers are very forced. Even if they are considered “fast”, they in fact are not. The faster tempos still feel very slow to me. Even in songs like The Parchment, the faster part in the end is just not quite fast enough in my opinion. Even 5 more...

I used to think Blood Brothers was just an okay song. I’d instinctively roll my eyes when they’d play it live. I thought it was a waste of setlist space. I don’t know what happened, but I started loving it and I hope to see it live again someday.

For a long time I couldn’t totally get into A Matter of Life and Death. I liked a couple songs (Different World, The Pilgrim, Benjamin Breeg, The Legacy), but still felt that the album as a whole was overlong and depressing. I really disliked These Colours and felt the other songs were too...

Don’t blame Nicko just because Adrian can’t play his guitar ;) In all seriousness though I really dig the fast tempos, Maiden really needs more of that imo. Perhaps these are the first signs of the guitarists’ ages showing though. Maybe the finger dexterity is degrading ever so slightly.

I would consider that as rotating. According to Wikipedia: "Paschendale" (from Dance of Death, 2003) was played rather than "Dance of Death" in Dallas, San Antonio, Albuquerque, San Bernardino, and Auburn. Those cities were every other night, so they were rotating those two songs for the...

Paschendale and Dance of Death were rotating for a bit. I was there on a Paschendale night, but would’ve preferred DoD.

Guess what? This upcoming tour IS a greatest hits tour! (Hopefully with a couple deep cuts. I’m hoping for 22AA, Still Life, Die With Your Boots On, Infinite Dreams, No Prayer For the Dying)

That’s funny, why did Dave want him to hit that?

Maaan, Dennis Stratton’s neck is no joke! Classic picture though.

Janick hate is so boring and played out. He’s a great guitarist and adds a lot to Maiden’s live performances (imo). And he’s one of the most valuable songwriters too. Janick haters should be very thankful that the next tour will be focused mostly on the golden 80s. I personally hope there...

This is decent, but some songs sound kinda weak.
