I have two tickets to the Bruce Dickinson lecture in Toronto on November 22nd but I might need to be out of town for work - first row of the balcony, towards the side. I'm selling for face value ($128.50), let me know if anyone's interested.

I haven't seen anything official. At the show in Toronto, it couldn't have been more than about 150 people (similar to the size of the crowd in 2017).

I'd pay good money to see this (though if they didn't play "Still Life", "Infinite Dreams" and "Killers" on the Maiden England tour a few years ago, I doubt they'll ever play them). "Duellists", "Genghis Khan", "Killers" and "TTAL" in the span of nine songs would probably kill Harris (not that...

My top ten, limiting it to one album per artist, and keeping it in the realm of rock/metal, would be: Iron Maiden - Powerslave Wishbone Ash - Argus Yes - Fragile King Crimson - Red Pink Floyd - Animals Black Sabbath - Paranoid The Who - Quadrophenia Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous (do live...

Part of the reason for him continuing to use chords so much - nowadays, with three guitarists, even though Harris is usually pretty high in the mix, maybe he feels he needs the power chords to be heard. So that would explain why he keeps playing them. But that wouldn't explain why he started...

I agree with all your comments. Thinking back, power chords are used sparingly on the first seven albums. Here's what I can think of: "Iron Maiden" - at the start of the climax at the end of the song "Number of the Beast" and "Hallowed be thy Name" - power chords are often added for emphasis...

I happened to see on Ticketmaster that there are still some good seats left for the Toronto shows - both nights. These seats must have been recently released - or maybe turned from platinum into normal tickets. This includes a few dozen seats in section 201, and about a dozen seats in the front...

@Diesel 11 - thanks for spending the time to organize this countdown. I've been (gradually) diving into Blaze's solo career over the past couple of years, and this has been really helpful. On a semi-related note - I'm old fashioned and like making mix CD's for long car rides. Here's what I...

I saw Blaze Bayley at the Rockpile in Toronto last night. Another great show (he did the meet & greet before the set). Great energy and crowd interaction. My only complaint was the set list was very similar to the show he did here two years ago (if I counted correctly, 11 of the 15 songs he...

Have there been any updates on when their second album will be released?

The 2019 North American tour dates have just been released: "After several delays, we are delighted to finally confirm our shows for North America this Spring. The schedule focuses principally this time on the Eastern side, but also includes a west coast area exclusive, returning by popular...

"Public Enema Number One" / "Fates Warning" / "The Assassin". None of them are offensively bad, but they're all forgettable.

Even though the 2019 North American tour hasn't been announced yet (as far as I can tell), tickets are now available for Blaze's show at the Rockpile in Etobicoke (western suburb of Toronto) on Friday May 10th. Tickets are $30 including service charges - I just bought mine.

My top two picks have been mentioned several times - "Made in Japan" and "Live and Dangerous". A good choice that hasn't been mentioned yet - King Crimson's "Absent Lovers". It practically renders their three 1980s albums irrelevant - the songs are played with so much more passion and energy...

Agreed - the pit at Budweiser Stage can hold 250 people at most. Pit tickets appear to be sold out for Saturday, but still available for Friday.

Absolutely you can. I just bought tickets to three different shows using the same presale code. Just remember you have a limit of 4 tickets per show. Most of the tickets are being sold on Ticketmaster, but there are a few exceptions (Montreal is one, I believe Philadelphia is another - it was...

For sure. I'm going to make a long weekend out of it - probably come in on Friday and head back to Toronto on Tuesday.

I had good luck with my orders this morning: 1 floor ticket for Montreal 2 excellent seats in Toronto on the 9th (6th row, dead centre) - going with my 18 year old cousin who's never seen Maiden before 3 fairly good seats in Toronto on the 10th (5th row, towards stage right) - going with two...

Last year I paid $123 (CAD) for good seats at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, and $128 (USD) for floors at the Wells Fargo centre in Philadelphia.

I've always had the same problem with The Clairvoyant. For Phantom - I hold down the 14th fret of the D and G strings with my index finger, then I use my pinky to push down on the 16th fret of G on the third/final beat of each gallop. (I do the same thing when the riff descends). It's still...
