King Crimson - Absent Lovers. This was the band's last live performance for nearly a decade. They play all of their best material from their three 1980's studio albums (the songs are played with so much energy that it makes the studio albums feel flat and lifeless in comparison), plus two more...

Paschendale?

The Prophecy?

The Evil That Men Do

Falling Down? (edit - I meant Man on the Edge, based on the movie Falling Down, where the main character snaps after, among other things, being laid off from his job - hence his "services are no longer needed")

The two that stand out for me: "Sign of the Cross" from Rock in Rio is played faster and heavier during the verses and the instrumental part (right after the Harris/Murray section). Harris used far more power chords at Rock in Rio, giving the song more energy. I like Blaze Bayley, but Bruce...

Toronto and Hamilton for me

I was reading the YouTube comments for "Robot". Someone suggested the lyrics to the chorus are actually "I am a yam / I am, a yam". Now I can't un-hear that.

Maybe I'm hearing it wrong (and have been playing it wrong for many years)! I thought the rhythm is E-C-G# (for the riff starting at 0:56). Yes, you're right - under Dave's first guitar solo, it's B (not E).

Here's my take on "Powerslave", the last of the classic seven albums that haven't been covered yet: "Aces High" - lots of key changes, the most prominent is A minor, but we also have F# minor (the intro), and the chorus is in E minor and then G minor. Dave's solo is in A minor, and Adrian's is...

Last one for now. This is my take on "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". I'm not a music theory expert and corrections are welcome: "Moonchild" - I think this is mostly E minor. You briefly get E-C-D ("be the devil's own, Lucifer's my name") but I think that's it. "Infinite Dreams" - mostly E minor...

My take on "Somewhere in Time": "Caught Somewhere in Time" - in E minor, a typical example of the E-C-D chord progression "Sea of Madness" - in E minor, but that progression isn't used "Wasted Years" - in E minor, they come close but don't use this exact progression anywhere "Heaven Can Wait" -...

I'm not an expert in music theory either, but here's my take on "Piece of Mind": "Where Eagles Dare" - in E minor, but that specific chord progression isn't used (a lot of E-D-C though) "Revelations" - in A minor (but the verse is in the equivalent chord progression of A-F-G) "Flight of Icarus"...

It looks like Killers is open now, not Brave New World - right?

This is my attempt at creating a bass tab for "The Death of the Celts". As far as I'm aware, this is the first bass tab anyone has put together for this song. I stand by my previous comments that this is Harris's most interesting and challenging performance since at least 2000. Corrections are...

I have the Steve Harris royal blue Fender p-bass (ie the one he plays on "Live After Death", "Maiden England", etc). Has anyone owned/played that instrument, and also the Fender Olympic white bass (ie the one he plays on "Rock in Rio", "En Vivo", etc)? Aside from the difference in colour (and...

I believe it's "Satellite 15... The Final Frontier" (2:32). The other non-instrumental songs that open with 2+ minute instrumental passages are "The Parchment" (2:09) and "Empire of the Clouds" (2:06).

In general, Maiden songs in the 21st century are easier to play on bass than songs from the eighties and nineties, as Harris became more formulaic. Still, the hardest 21st century Maiden songs to play on bass would probably consist of: "Dream of Mirrors". Yes, two-thirds of the song is very...

I updated the list. There are four instrumental passages on "Senjutsu" that are 3+ minutes long, all of which are on the 2nd disc. Two things to note. First, "The Parchment" is the first & only song in Maiden's catalogue that features two 3+ minute instrumental passages. Second, "Hell on Earth"...
