WTTW is an underrated album for its style. It seems like they didn't release 2 songs from the 1997 writing sessions and maybe Rain and Underground (the latter is great) are leftovers from the previous album. Iirc, a demo from that era was called ''Winter's Child''. Into The Black is Drop C...

This. BNW's face is timeless, like FOTD Eddie. If the city was a drawing (not CGI), I think it would have been even better. Still it's quite good. The two halves of the cover are done by two different artists. Unique fact. Btw, I want to see a full length of BNW Eddie, I really do.

It was used for a stage Eddie, but I wonder if this Wicker Man art could have been used as an album cover. Is it that strong or appropriate for the band? I guess so. It's better than Derek's one.

I like the exact single cover of Different World better, more of Eddie is shown. The colors are cool in both.

The Great War - might be my favorite Sabaton album as a whole piece. I like all songs but one a lot! Crowned In Frost - Frozen Crown, old school power metal with nice vocals and ideas. It's enjoyable enough. The Eighth Mountain - Rhapsody Of Fire deserve a vote for the quality of their stuff and...

Firepower just smash the albums here. Everything clicked for the band with it, no fillers (only one weaker song)! Such albums are always special. One of Priest's best, no doubt. Blaze's Redemption is the most uneven one from the Trilogy and some of the songs are very short. 5 of the songs are...

Well said. Good remarks. Also, when it's the first compilation album, they/he should have added the other Eddies (SSOASS, TNOTB, FOTD, even TXF), a more developed background would have helped with that. Btw, I remember an interview with Derek from the 90s in which he mentioned having big art...

Such album art game for Maiden is a must! :) Round 1 is already tough. 12 Live After Death +1 8 Fear of the Dark +3 7 Brave New World +2 3 "The Wicker Man" [alt. picture disc] 0 Best of the Beast 0 "Different World" [digital] FOTD is one of the most impactful and brilliant Eddies! Legendary...

https://blabbermouth.net/news/bruce-kulick-on-reuniting-with-kiss-during-kruise-concert-in-las-vegas-it-was-really-magical Bruce Kulick played only 2 songs with the band (Lick It Up and Rock And Roll All Nite). The band sounded nice. A rare song was Take Me (Paul said he couldn't imagine to...

Gamma Ray - Majesty ''Revelation'' could also be viewed as a centerpiece, the last song, the epic, but this one is written solely by Kai - like Majestic from Helloween's new album. Both songs feel like it could have been title tracks. Majesty has a similar vibe with Majestic. Cool...

Nicko's super fast playing here is just amazing (1988). Listen to Where Eagles Dare! I still think the band could have played faster and more powerful metal back then, even though it's not his/their thing. Same with the other drummers.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/nicko-mcbrain-says-he-originally-wanted-to-wait-until-january-2025-to-announce-he-was-retiring-from-iron-maiden It seems that Nicko was ready to retire after the SJ album or the Legacy '22 tour and said that he couldn't play Murders drum intro now. ''To be honest...

https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-sabaton-debuts-massive-new-stage-show-at-first-concert-of-the-legendary-tour The stage set for the new tour is great. Check out the videos too. Props power! No backdrops (or big screen?), just one temple! It looks really cool. It's a big production with lots...

In this old interview from 1983 with Dave and Adrian, it it said that Adrian brought a cherry SG. Used live?? Photos? Only the brown one. There was a black one too. He said he liked their lead sound. Also - he played a 12-string on ''Children Of The Damned''. It seems he didn't use the Melody...

Psycho Motel - Psycho Motel :rocker: I'm in an Adrian mood. I appreciate the PM albums more with time, not just his playing. Imo this song has one of his best ideas for an intro melody and a melody before a solo. Really cool heavy rock. Btw, this is a style, approach and groove that Rain On...

Psycho Motel - Demolition (live in 1996) Only played live song, never recorded. Too bad the quality isn't better, Adrian with some great riffs and playing. Effective enough song, they should have included it in some of the albums. He could have brought such stuff for Maiden in the 90s...

Urchin - My Lady IIRC, this is one of Adrian's earliest songs that Steve liked back in the day. A slower epic from the 70s, I dig the vibe. It would have been curious to hear it as a Maiden song, it would fit the first 2 albums (Strange World type; with different lyrics?), shorter I guess...

Endure And Survive - probably Blaze's best album from the Trilogy. Melodic playing, good choruses and effective songs. I like all songs more or less, which is always good. Some of the songs (at least 5) are some of my favorites from his solo career. Incorruptible - the songs, the heavy music and...
