Mother of Mercy is such a great song, but the chorus lets it down.

We all hear things differently. Dance of Death is my favourite album, Powerslave is overrated and disc 2 of BOS is a drag. I will update my list as well at some point. Also, I am not sure why a YouTube channel is being analysed so much. They are just random folks just like all of us. If you...

It used to get a lot of screen time on Kerrang and Scuzz back in the day. Coupled with the 2005 single, I think this helped propel it. The beer has taken it even further.

Physical Graffiti. A great album, but it is bloated and doesn’t deserve the title of LZ best album or the best double album of all time.

I love that Vernon Reid from Living Colour is there. They are a band that deserves more recognition.

Rainmaker is in my top 5 (alongside my top 3 and FTGGOG)

I always remember a YouTube comment about TBOS which said something along the lines of ‘the last 2 minutes of this song is more metal than any young band could hope to achieve’. I have to agree. The way it builds and layers is outstanding.

1. The Book of Souls (obviously) 2. Hell on Earth 3. The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

This. The repetition is looked over on BNW but VXI is ridiculed for it.

Oh shit. Does that mean I have been playing bass for bands incorrectly since 2012? Better get a hair transplant otherwise my technique will go out of the window…

As someone who began losing their hair at 22, I have spent the last five minutes reading this thread and rolling my eyes.

It’s a shame to hear that you don’t like coming here as much anymore. I can be critical of the band. It’s because I hold them to high standards and sometimes I think they make some head scratching decisions. However it does not stop me from enjoying their gigs and rocking out!

Great review. I agree with everything except for Aces High. But disagreements are part of being a fan!

I woke up early, it’s too hot so I am sharing my thoughts. Pros I thought the band were on fine form. There were a few fluffs and technical glitches, but they recovered well. The setlist is mostly excellent. It has a nice flow. The song of the night was Powerslave. It was so heavy! My other...

On the train home. Great gig. Some grumbles but the band were on excellent form. I will post some more thoughts tomorrow.

I’m on the train down. I’m wearing my Earls Court ‘06 shirt. I’m surprised I still fit into it! I doubt there will be many more chances to do this. COYI!

Game knows game.

It’s a bugger to get to. At least Stratford has a good ‘international’ station, the tube and CrossRail.
