I go back to No Prayer far more than I do Final Frontier. Every time I finish that one, it's the weirdest thing where I appreciate a few songs, but overall am not feeling it as an album and just can't fully get into it. I know I should be voting Final Frontier. The title track is solid, El...

Ew...just watched that part. The needless arm flailing screams, "lookit me! I'm here too!" :facepalm:

I've said it before, but Fear is one I get the urge to randomly listen to in its entirety more so than a lot of other Maiden albums. Might have something to do with it being the first Maiden album I got as a new fan, but I still love the album, spotty as it is. Even have a soft spot for the The...

I'd give it to SSOASS, though AMOLAD is a big highlight of the reunion era. SSOASS has a clearer, more vibrant production sound to my ears, and has more standout tracks. Meanwhile, AMOLAD is remarkable for its consistently good-to-great songs...but none that I'm really aching to hear come back...

That part where he's hitting the snare off the actual beat is a weirdly unique highlight of the song.

And Mama I'm Coming Home is NOT his favorite Ozzy song, apparently.

Works for me. Always felt like the title track was severely let down (to the point of making it one of the weakest songs on the album) due to its cop-out of a pointlessly repetitive chorus.

Yes, in that both covers are predominantly blue.

This. Bruce wanted a top producer for the reunion album, and they got a great sounding album in BNW. After that, Bruce got cozy again, didn't put his foot down anymore, and Steve got his fingers back in the proverbial cooking pot. Shirley's a fine producer, but he very quickly just started...

My best guess is they were being conservative with the initial announcement, saying he was the drummer for 2025 and going no further with the announcement. It's likely that 2025 is as far as his contract went, with an option to extend if all things worked out during 2025 (fan acceptance...

Pretty much my same experience. Tiny crowd, 20-30 max, but played it like it was a stadium. I rank it really high on the shows I've seen.

I'm the same with the Blaze era. Loved it, the underdog, back-against-the-wall feel of it...it was a cool time to be a fan. As far as the bootlegs go, there are good ones and bad ones. Unfortunately, the best quality ones from the X Factour were all in South America where his voice was...

The only chances I see of us getting one are twofold: A) post-first leg of RFYL, around the time of the release of the Infinite Dreams book...this as a music release tossed out for something to buy as another addition to commemorating the 50th Anniversary. B) Post-retirement release, which...

The last three times they've been through and I saw them, Bruce insists on shouting, "scream for me, Minneapolis!!!" I'm in the crowd thinking, "we're in St. Paul, bro."

Probably to discourage people from filming with the intention of posting on YouTube, in keeping with the request to be phone-free. If people are filming just to post there knowing it'll just get taken down, those people might not bother. But I agree, it's lame.

Always been a fan of The Unbeliever, mostly because of how unconventional it is in Maiden's repertoire, yet totally works. Blaze gives a pretty standout performance on those choruses in one of the few instances on the album he shows some good fire. Hopefully we'll get some good footage of Blaze...

Wow. I would kill for a live album of that set. Unfortunately, when I asked him years ago about doing a live album of his 25th Anniversary set, he said he wasn't interested. :confused:

That's a nice deep cut. :applause:

I'm still hoping part 2--if there is one--will be a hybrid new album/'95 to present tour...but you're right. The Blaze albums will totally get the shaft if that's the case, even though Bruce likes doing Clansman and Sign of the Cross. They've been fairly well represented since the reunion, so I...

Not really. Glad they went back to the original photo from the 1994 cover instead of the alternate one they used for the 2001 remaster, though.
