Spot on for both. The big amount of dates are because of the break, right. Bruce's 1st leg of his solo tour was also 50 dates along with a Maiden tour. The 2026 leg was planned 2 years in advance. Perhaps from 2028, dates will be announced more slowly. Rod: ''It was particularly important to...

Avantasia - Anywhere The first part of the song is a bit too long, but this is one of the most effective choruses in a metal ballad imo. Tobi! Classic from their 2nd album. :) The album cover fits the style and music so well.

This is a compilation of different shows from the tour (Budapest, Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, Bremen, Frankfurt, Prague, Belfort), I watched it yesterday and the selected performances are quite strong. Good job. I enjoyed it a lot. I have to say that the setlist is very predictable and not that...

They don't need pr, especially for SA. Bruce has been teasing big 2026 tour since 2024, so more SA dates are expected (plus Asia/Australia dates in November, 5-6 months, with fewer US shows), and let's not forget that they won't be touring in 2027. The worrying thing is that this break in 2027...

Nice parallel, but this approach is expected for Nightwish style. It's just that with Floor we expected maybe something more heavier and closer to their first albums. In Nostradamus, they just had to cut the intros, that's it. Some different stuff for Priest, but some not in their core, most of...

Fields Of Blood - this is a return to form album for the band. No fillers imo and some favorites of mine in it. Strong album and theme. Abyss - I like the previous album much more, but this is enough for a vote. The style helps, the catchiness. Human & Nature, I only really like 3 songs...

Helloween - Salvation I had forgotten how good and nostalgic this song was. Great melodic riff, typical working verses, pure majesty of a power metal chorus and a classy instrumental section. The Dark Ride album, although being made when the lineup of the band and influences were in a bad...

Most likely Aces yeah, but why a visual should play a bigger role than if the band/Bruce want to play a song live? Just saying, but Infinite Dreams could have a noticeable visuals. It's curious which are the other songs Steve has in mind. Wasted Years? That's probably true. Also, remember...

Live versions of Judgement and Amigos, plus Fortunes and Flies with his current voice. A short live album, but worth it. And with better sound. Now we need from the current TXF/SM tour (mainly for Unbeliever, 2AM, Blood, Aftermath; The Launch), plus Eyes Of A Stranger (Lightning, Educated Fool)...

The factors imo: 1)the talent of the band, ofc. 2)Eddie + the elaborated live shows, touring in general. 3)perseverance, determination/dedication, sticking to the music (and length) they like, and making their own decisions (regarding everything, from the music to promotion). 4)constantly...

So glad to see this, Maiden totally deserved this success after the Reunion. Albums, tours, shows, playing, everything. A pure of example of how it's done.

I see. Eeeh, how the singles have fallen since 2006, it was fun with b-sides, live stuff and more (small) arts that add to the world of the albums. Yeah, the game will be long, but it's curious to have them all. Idk, only the official covers is probably right. I think some have a good chance to...

Making TFF singles comics style was probably the best idea. Not only it's unique and different, but it ties the album's theme, which was hard to do with El Dorado. With the other two, the title track and Coming Home, they could have done some space sci-fi action with Eddie (something from the...

What a weird Round. 11 The Final Frontier +2 7 "The Wicker Man" +1 4 "Different World" +3 2 Somewhere Back in Time - The Best of: 1980-1989 0 "Virus" [alt. 1] 0 "Different World" [DVD] As I said before, I like Different World art- the Eddie is classic, the pose and the colors add a lot. It's a...

Adrian also said he likes to be creative. In this new interview he said he loves what he do with Maiden, but they tour 3 months per year now and haven't really recorded in a while, so that's another reason he wants to run the SK project, besides the love for the more rock music. It sounds to me...

Happy Birthday @Brigantium ! :hbd:

Nicko did another show with his solo band yesterday. Same 10 songs, but Chris from Bruce's solo band was there and they played Moonchild with him. And Heaven Can Wait too. :) They also played with Pat Travers. Moonchild and Clansman were very lively, kudos Nicko.

This. I feel Steve will be inspired by Bruce's new and his best solo material as he calls it. Bruce will probably release his solo album in early or March 2027 (he will do most of the promotion next year, as well as the singles), then tour until August, so the fall (and early 2027, their wanted...

SIT is indeed associated with such harmonies, a timeless sound. On SK's new album, the song Life Unchained has a SIT-esque intro by Adrian and it takes you back. Yeah, the vocals aren't my cup of tea for some reason. This instrumental is cool though, the keys also add. It has a classic melodic...
