Me too, I think it should be the norm nowadays. Only time I've done paperless was a Metallica charity gig at the O2 when Death Magnetic came out. Tickets were £5 or something ridiculous. It was easy to get in and the atmosphere was brilliant as the place was packed with fans.

so... any rumours yet on a 2017 UK tour?

I've enjoyed reading DJ, cheers!

Off the top of my head in no particular order: The Evil That Men Do Ghost Of The Navigator Children Of The Damned Judas Be My Guide Lord Of The Flies Childhoods End Hallowed Be Thy Name Wasted Years Wasting Love The Edge Of Darkness That was hard to narrow down to ten.

cool, thanks for the tips, I'll try these out when I get the chance! I've been enjoying messing around with the POD, it's capable of some great sounds - Don't think they deserve all the hate they get online.

I'm trying to get that riff up to speed at the minute. When sufficiently warmed up I can sometimes hit it, but other times I just switch to alternate picking.

Yeah I'm really pleased with the Schecter. I really went to buy an ESP but the guy in the shop suggested I try it and it just felt RIGHT!! I'd like to own more...if only I had space for a mancave!

I have a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser in see through black cherry which is in standard tuning that I use most of the time. That's my baby from my band days and my pride & Joy, locked away when not in use. Then I have a Yamaha Pacifica 112 that I abuse day to day for alternate tunings. It's...

Thanks man, these are home tones only, my band days are currently behind me. You're right about tones with a full band though, what sounds great at home does not work at practice/gigs.

I bought the 'Somewhere Back In Time' tab book and it seems pretty accurate to me, although I'm not good enough to play most of the solos.

...I'll go with Fear Of The Dark (just ahead of Brave New World) purely because it was the first Maiden album I had and I listened to that thing to death! It's not the best album but its a special one for me. BNW is my usual 'go to' Maiden album though, I never get tired of that one.

To be honest I'm not after exact tones, just an all round set of patches to play along to the majority of Maiden stuff. I went back as above and tweaked my rhythm tone (boosted mids etc) for a decent lead sound before switching the effects back on and even though the changes are subtle it's...

I shall try all these ideas, thank you sirs!

Thanks - yeah I basically copied my rhythm patch and added FX - that's probably a lot of the issue. Will definitely give this a try :-) It's a never ending search for tone! Worth it though - I find when it sounds / feels right I seem to play 10 times better!

Thanks, I'll try playing with the mids. How would you (roughly) set those FX? Yeah I'm using a Marshall 800 style amp simulation (same as my rhythm patch). My playing probably doesn't help tbh, I'm not much of a lead guy!

Question for all you guitar players...I've been messing about trying to create some Maiden patches for my Line 6 floorboard. I've got a lovely sounding clean tone & a rhythm tone that seems to work but I'm struggling on a decent lead tone - I've got some delay & reverb in there and a tube...

I'll get my coat, haha! ...was there a video for it at all?

I agree with the votes for 'Ghost of the Navigator' - one of my all time favourites. I'd go for 'Lord of the flies'. I think it's a great little rocker.

I voted new because I find myself listening to the post reunion albums more nowadays, but that's because 1) They're awesome and 2) I've not heard them quite as much as the 80's/90's albums. Silly question though.

I'd imagine all the money goes to a holding company and the band members are like shareholders / directors receiving a dividend depending on profit for each year. But I'd imagine in the spirit of fairness they split it equally.
