Effective and modern looking stage, but at the same time it's so KISS. The thing is, props will always be more impressive than screens stuff, for the most part it is. Their new single ''Rejoice'' - which btw is probably one of their strongest since the 80s, their second classic sound (the glam...

Tailgunner - War In Heaven Another single winner, 4 out of 4! This time it's a ballad, the band says that KK challenged them to write an 80s-sounding ballad. It stars with keys, then beautiful calm strings (subtle Strange World vibe). The verses are really good, remind me of HammerFall, while...

So we don't know one or two more of his guitars in the rag? 7-8 in total? Les Paul Classic is the 'SOTC' guitar for me. edit: found some photos - the Gold Jackson is also in the rig.

Maiden are yet to write on themes such as Babylon, Atlantis, Crusaders... I wonder if Steve is interested in them. It would help and be fitting for a Maiden cover (they need it for that, the lyrics could be metaphoric), I would love to see such arts and covers, especially a sea-theme. You know...

Adrian with a cool pure rock improvisation for White Noise solo, I bet he really enjoyed it (echos of TNOTB solo). I want to hear his live version of the Black Light solo. Edit: his Wraith live solo is cooler than the studio version.

Yes, we can't escape from it, no surprises in the 16 songs set (with two singers). I thought they wouldn't want to play cover songs now with 2 albums. 7 new songs, the expected ones. The first 3 songs are an effective start of the show (one of choruses is not lively live, like White Noise one...

It's odd and I think Bruce is just having fun with friends, considering the drums visible in the photo. Imagine some super thrash metal stuff on the album... bring it on, it's classify as something different, right. I love how happy and enthusiastic he looks, like Adrian with SK. Putting energy...

Yes, but she can provide interesting bass lines, good bass player. Imagine something like TCW album bass lines, superb stuff! I loved their duet in Navigate, would love to hear a part like that in the studio. Something with a cosmic/ballad-y vibe?

https://www.instagram.com/ironmaiden.brasil/p/DURp4MWjr4i/ It looks like there will be a guest musician on the album - Andreas Kisser, a guitarist to play drums along with Bruce. What? I really thought Bruce will want the band unit, but given the photos and the taiko and small pieces drums, it...

Maybe that's why Steve loves TXF album, those melodic ideas are still great and strong (and for that time), probably his most personal album. This song seems to be very liked by the fans, maybe they'll play it live.

Yeah, they did previous writing sessions and demos. I probably had more in mind Bruce's vocal takes. He works faster than Maiden in the studio. TMP is the different sound, Bruce said it will be different again (hmm), but songs in the styles of AOB and TCW, I feel it's needed this time, after...

So they recorded really quickly, like 1 month? Bruce probably didn't do many takes like with TMP. Well... let's hope at least there won't be cases when you can hear him catching breath in the production, this is more off-putting than a weak production. With this new studio and Brendan Duffy as a...

Iron Maiden - live 1995 (Vienna) What a gem, I don't think I've seen this video on the net before. The uploader did a great job with the quality and especially the sound. More such stuff (a 1998 show), please. This has to be one of Blaze's strongest performances (mainly on his songs, but...

https://www.loudersound.com/bands-artists/adrian-smith-on-smith-kotzen Adrian on their first tour: ''I had thought that we might pull out a few more of Richie’s old songs and some of my own material, but he said: “No. Let’s just play everything we’ve written.'' Bummer. So we shouldn't expect...

The 2 bonus songs are out now: https://www.youtube.com/@SmithKotzen/videos All The Way Down - alternative sounding riff, Psycho Motel-esque verses, typical chorus, 1 solo by Adrian, 2 by Richie. The Grind - the intro is pure rock with Moonchild's intro vibe, heavier main riff...

The song ''Blindsided'' is used for the promo stuff, I guess they'll play it, it sounds like a cool and good groovy live song, verses and chorus. Btw, the intro licks sounds like 3 Maiden songs from the 90s (From Here To Eternity, Flies, Angel And Gambler), ha. ASAP feel as well. Adrian would...

Bruce may have had the production in mind too, to try something different, but he clearly wanted to explore other sounds since the early 90s. Maiden could have evolved into ''something similar'' or Reunion era Maiden after SSOASS, but he wanted too much experimentation - their own sound should...

Steve liking the Black Album isn't surprising (the approach of clean sound, riffing and drums on it always reminds me of early Nightwish for some reason), he probably prefers that style to pure thrash. Bruce likes it too. I guess that's another reason why they did some songs in FOTD in different...

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bruce-dickinson-favourite-albums/ Bruce's favorite 15 albums, from a new article. Some curious choices.

It's cool to see his rehearsals guitars. Curious info about ''Running'', I bet he still enjoys writing and playing heavier material like Bruce's solo. That's the red Les Paul, right? I like both, but the yellower ebony Jackson is still a really cool and memorable guitar of Adrian's. He easily...
