    Mother Russia

    My exact feelings. I never understood why so few seem to like this song. Along with Run silent, run deep and the title track, its the best on the album. Also, as you said, it's 33 years...so I'm not gonna compare it to the present situation, I'm not gonna mix music and political situation/war...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Yeah, my idea here too. I just think when comparing age and performance I prefer the ones of the last twenty years because in the 80's, despite the fact he was younger so it should have meant his voice should have been way better, it sounded like sometimes he didn't know how to control it (for...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I wish I could agree with you but far from it. Having listened to about 120-130 bootlegs from that tour, apart from some nights here and there, it was really not Bruce's best tour in terms of singing. Maybe because he wasn't particularly happy with the album (here comes the story of how all of...

    What is the coolest cover-/tribute version of a Maiden song you've ever heard?

    Definitely I truly love Fear of the Dark by Demonios. It became kind of a ballad that reminds me a little bit of the Scorpions. The voice of the singer has some Klaus Meine vibes as well

    Moments when Maiden really surprised you

    First thing that comes to mind even if it's not a surprise is that unlike many "old" bands, they still play a huge amount of new material each time a new album comes out. Most of the bands their age (or even younger) tend to just play one to three songs from the new album and that's about it and...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I always thought Eric clearly wasted his talent with this band, he has an amazing voice just as good as Bruce, Rob or Geoff (in his prime in the 80's). The problem with Manowar its basically...Joey and the image he wants for his band and it started right from the beginning, all of the clichés...

    Ranking the Maiden show openers

    1. Caught somewhere in time: the amazing Blade Runner Theme that blends in so naturally with the CSIT intro, the futuristic stage design that goes with it, can't get any better than this 2. Aces high: a very close second, let's say I prefer the Blade runner theme to Churchill's speech 3. The...

    Why Judas Priest aren't as popular as Iron Maiden?

    Yeah, I must say I kinda agree with this statement. This is not meant as an insult to Judas Priest and everything they've done to heavy metal but I feel the same way, even when listening to Stained Class or Defenders of Faith that happen to be my favorite JP albums but something about them...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I never spoke about ownership and once again not sure it's 100% Steve's. He owns the name but for all band's decisions, without saying it's 100% democratic (which is not and may never be in any band), I'm sure most of the members and first of all Bruce, have their word to say. Where did I say...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I really don't know in which "reality" you might be living but for sure it ain't the one we all are...Steve decides who is in the band or not? I'm not sure it's that simple. For sure he might have the final word and probably not everyone in the band has the same input but lets say if one day he...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Is this April fool's day??? Do you really believe it? If so, just let me laugh because this might be one of the dumbest things I've ever read about Maiden...if this was Kiss, yeah we all know it but Maiden...give us a break, would you? What is "fun" is that there always seems to be some that...

    Metallica

    Its funny because MoP might have great songs but I simply can't listen to it because of the dry production (for lack of a better word). Even more funny, I think RtL's production is way better (which might sound ironic since its the same producer and done in the same studio!!). When I want to...

    Metallica

    Well, like with each album they've been releasing since the Black, I always try to give it a full listen, then get back to it song by song but as years go by the same feeling remains...it's not plain bad, it's just that most of the times I almost forget I'm listening to it because, well, because...

    Short-answer questions

    Sorry to totally disagree here but Metallica being seen as a collective band makes me really laugh. Just a few points here: Jason said it and both James and Lars agreed (even if it took them some time to admit it) that for a very long time, Jason was never fully considered as a member, more of...

    Short-answer questions

    Well Metallica in the - very - early days, when Mustaine was in the band, not sure James had a lot to say (and for what I read, he was quite shy and not too confident). During the days Burton was in the band, both Lars and James seemed to have a lot of respect for him, specially since he had a...

    Which three reunion tours you personally consider their most interesting ones?

    I'm gonna go with the set-list above everything else 1. The Early Days tour tied with AMOLAD: simply because after a tour focused only on their first 4 albums with some songs that they haven't played in a long time (Murders in the Rue Morgue, Another Life, Prowler, Remember Tomorrow, Drifter...

    Iron Maiden - Huge Bootleg Collection UPDATED

    Some soundboards that I remember for now (among them some might be radio/tv sourced ones, can't remember which. Also some dates might have more than one source, one being an audience one and the other soundbouard/radio, so its better to check): Nijmegen 1981 Tokyo 24th of May 1981 New York 29th...
