Only an R101 can beat the current stage.

It's a good sign that some of us like a certain song when others hate it. It means that the band manages to keep us together, as we may otherwise hate each other's musical taste. :bigsmile: Btw, the melodic part of Age of Innocence (3.30- 4.10) convinces me to visit it on a regular basis.

Before here, I have just visited the Man of Sorrows thread. Some of the new songs have amazing bits and pieces. The rest of the songs are, however, arguably 'unfinished' compared to the classics. If they need time for the next album, I would be very happy to wait while they are fine-tuning the...

This song grows on me in time. Parts of it are somewhat disconnected, but coupled with some of the darkest atmospheric elements that Maiden has ever had, Bruce's depressingly melancholic voice makes the song flow. The quality of its recording is also excellent.

I know this stereotypical image of British people: they have minimum social contact; give utmost importance to their personal space; prefer not to be attentive to others, especially in the middle of London. I think this expectation works for the most part, but there are exceptions too. While I...

Those are some great snapshots. Last year in London, where I went for a conference, I was wearing my Icarus tshirt, which I got from Firenze Rocks. While walking on the Oxford street, I realized that a group have begun singing Run to the Hills. Then we sang together from a 20-meter distance...

Yes, he sounds a bit more operatic and somewhat less rough/aggressive: "ooOn yoUuur waAaAy" instead of "ON YOUR waAaAy!". I think he keeps re-evaluating the alternative ways to manage his vibrato more effectively. On the other hand, as I noted before, he tried some new things with the "eagle...

Bruce has no time to talk extensively in the LOTB. Maybe it was deliberate at the end of the day, I dont know, but I think not talking too much about the 'real world' is an asset of this last tour. Honestly, I want to pay attention to the drama of Iron Maiden--the voices of the characters and...

Doooooo ooor Dieeeeee!! :edmetal:

What if they print Nicole Kidman's pass? (not very high quality though...)

I think so. In this context, what they described was how immersive the tour content is, such that they have just started playing again as if they practiced it one day before. At least this was what I got when I watched it for the first time. The friends with better English or skill of...

One of those 'short' interviews of Janick, among others. :bigsmile:

I have not yet checked all recordings of the Pittsburgh concert, but so far I think Bruce has done a great job.

I find some of these comments a bit harsh on Bruce. Their tours are very high tempo--travelling every other day, if not everyday, and singing and sweating for 2 hours everyday. Last summer, Bruce was so powerful as he was fit enough, but this year he may not have started well, which is not...

Yes they did, but I do not remember when they announced that they would release Final Frontier. If it is possible that they announce the release-date in Autumn, release the album in May-June, and begin touring between June-Aug, then yes it must be possible! There is no tour acronym in the...

We have already discussed the possibility of another leg of LOTB, but let me note what I have just heard from a more or less reliable source. Apparently, Maiden will go to Turkey in 2020, which, I guess, hints at a LOTB World Tour for those countries which the band missed last year and this...

Btw, Nicko explained why this part was particularly challenging for him.

Great quality. Bruce tries new things with FoI, especially the last part of it. I guess he wants to make the "eaglee!! Flyyyy!!" (10:22-10:25) part more similar to the LAD version, but no precision so far. :p

Nicko has given FTGGOG the credit that it deserves. :)

Yes, but if we consider what he did with the solo albums, half of the 17 songs may be the "first bit...long bit", 12'' extended, acoustic chillout and 7'' extended versions of others. And maybe a japanese version.:bigsmile:
