I realized that something was missing in my life but couldn’t figure out what it was. Thanks to this convo I realized it was the (near) daily laughs from this thread, mostly provided by Mercenary.
I think my favorite album cover is Brave New World even if that's not my favorite IM album.
My favorite IM album is Somewhere in Time, which along with Powerslave rounds out my top 3 album covers.
After that I give honorable mention to Killers for being most iconic, and 7th Son and Virtual XI...
Burning Ambition: The B side to Running Free, only played live 5 times according to setlistFM. Sure the lyrics are inane, but I love how it transitions from smooth guitar harmony to frantic thrashy energy and back. Just a fun song, I still go out of my way to listen to this one every now and...
Ticketmaster presale started today with the lowest price at $250.
That was for the original 2 Madison Square Garden shows (before they added two more).
Yeah that’s real money.
Here’s the sad truth: in the 80s and 90s when I was young and broke I would have sold my soul to see Rush. And I often spent myself into debt to do so.
Now I’m old and can afford it but I’m just not sure I care enough to schlep into NYC for the show.
Other than seeing...
I’m signed up for TicketMaster presale on Sunday 2 days from now so I’ll find out the price for the New York shows soon.
I’ve seen them live about a dozen times between the Hold Your Fire tour and the Test for Echo tour.
They are my lifelong favorite band but in all honesty I think Power Windows...
Do you actually believe that Hell on Earth is one of the worst 5 Iron Maiden songs from their entire discography, or perhaps could you be judging on a curve based on reaction to the recent popularity of this song among Iron Maiden’s fans?
My favorite Beatles songs:
Paperback Writer
And Your Bird Can Sing
Here Comes the Sun
Day in the Life
Rain
I Saw Her Standing There
The End
Edit: Favorite Beatles Solo Song:
It Don’t Come Easy - Ringo Starr
Hmm it’s easy for me to get to Madison Square Garden by train I guess I have a decision to make.
I’d love a sneak peek at the 35 songs they have identified for the setlist.
Is there a cd version of the 14 track album that you describe? I don’t hate X Factor but the miserable mood has prevented me from fully embracing it. Based on your description above I’d love to check out this more balanced version
The album that got me into Maiden in the 80s, and the one that never left my rotation even after I drifted away from the band for several decades.
I love how wildly different everyone's rankings are here in this thread, because all eight songs are so great that any tiny aspect can shift the...
These are your words:
How is that a gloating statement? He was killed by policies he pushed.
I didn’t put them in your mouth.
You indicated that his policies - gun ownership- was what killed him.
No, a murderer killed him .
And it’s true that at this point nobody knows what insane viewpoint...
You’re not inciting violence, you’re just justifying it.
And burying your head in the sand to ignore the violence created by left wing policies that unleash repeat violent criminals on the innocent public again and again.
How about we all just obey the laws and don’t hurt anyone else?
Then you’re the problem.
And when the other side uses ‘nuance’ to excuse political violence, remember your words.
I’ll continue to advocate freedom of speech and denounce political violence.
So get to the point and unequivocally condemn the murder instead of defending statements that he kinda / sorta deserved it.
You said “I’m not saying that Charlie deserved to die.”
But that’s very weak sauce. Denounce murder without mealy-mouthed qualifications.
What I read was some comments saying he essentially had it coming for advocating legal gun ownership
I’ve no doubt that if someone murdered a prominent left-wing figure there would be months of outrage here. And to be clear, I’d agree unconditionally.
Political violence is always wrong...
