  1. Murder of Rue Morgue

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Well yes but imagine being with the boys at the pub and "one more for the road lads, Ales High!"

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    It has always been part of the game with signatures—hasn't it? At least half of the price is due to the doodle on the headstock.
  3. Murder of Rue Morgue

    18th Studio Album discussion

    It'd be left there as if the shelves themselves had the force to keep the bottles. The so-called Powershelves.
  4. Murder of Rue Morgue

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Another day, another wasted occasion to make a beer and call it "Ale High".
  5. Murder of Rue Morgue

    Maiden songs you find rather boring

    Seventh Son of a Seventh Son until the solo kicks in. I'm still convinced Steve had a couple of passable melodies and a good instrumental and didn't know how to put them together, so he thought "oh, beef hooked" and used the first thing that came to his mind. Then a gallop under the melodies...

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Demo (not a particularly good one) of Dave's new signature model: This one is a mere presentation but includes Steve's bass:

    The Legacy

    In Martin Popoff's Hallowed Be Thy Name there is a passage where Janick speaks about The Legacy and mentions "a man of peace" having the whole politics of Middle East in his hands and creating all the problems of that area geopolitically, and that he was ill. I don't remember if he addressed...

  10. Murder of Rue Morgue

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    I agree completely, and in fact in the previous pages we saw that the Kossoff actually did not mount a Fender bridge for most of the time.
  11. Murder of Rue Morgue

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Maybe not a Floyd specifically, but one of the criticisms at the time was that they opted for a standard Fender bridge (with all its tuning deficiencies, in a guitar primarily—if not only—aimed at heavy metal playing), when in fact the Kossoff clearly mounted different different bridges when it...

    Iron Maiden Covers

    Strange World homemade acoustic cover. Even more Pink Floyd-ish at times (some acoustic moments of Barrett-era / Ummagumma come to mind).
  13. Murder of Rue Morgue

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    The prototype which is also how they should've done it, but I can understand that the configuration would have probably shot to the stars the price for a guitar that wasn't going to be a best seller anyway. (Not that it was particularly cheap, it was a signature after all.)

    Bands shouldn't do new albums if they don't feel like so.

    Gerris for the win.

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Exactly the point. As I said it wasn't a success, it wasn't popular, it wasn't a single that they've not been playing since decades (like when they unearthed Flight of Icarus), it wasn't the album's big piece that somehow failed to make its way into the setlist (like Alexander). There simply is...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Problem with OTGDY is that it's not an old success of theirs (like Flight of Icarus) and it's not an "elephant-in-the-room absent" (like Alexander). Only reason I can see to justify its inclusion in a setlist would have been playing SSOASS in its entirety on Maiden England Tour.

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    I just re/watched some songs from recent live albums and I cannot but think that Michael Weikath is the less power metal-looking guitarist I have ever seen, if any metal-looking guitarist at all. Yet he somehow shares the title of founder of the genre with Kai Hansen.
