A 2008 version of ME original art (makes sense, they wanted to reissue both DVDs)... I'm glad they used the new Trooper art. Plus, the original ME can't be improved, just the background. This one has some nice details (Seventh Son-esque- floor, colors, moon), but the drawing and Eddie are early...

Happy Birthday Janick! :hbd: One song from each of his bands/collaborations. :rocker: White Spirit - Fool For Gods (an early epic, the melodies would have been perfect Maiden-ized, very cool solo, an interesting song for 1980) Gillan - Bluesy Blue Sea (that ancient-sounding riffing is so...

https://www.instagram.com/misteradriansmith/reel/DT52fqKCMAk/ Adrian plays his ''Life Unchained'' solo. Typical solo of his, he wrote most of the song (iirc). Some footage from the rehearsals: https://www.instagram.com/ironmaiden/reel/DT-5D45jTCy/

Judas Priest - Living Bad Dreams If Rob had changed the way he sang the title line (still effective), this would have been another highlight from the album if it was included, especially the instrumental section. I love the intro (classic Priest), the song has a bit of a Nostradamus vibe...

Agreed. And the band was on fire with the playing. Yep. Odd, almost 2 minutes shorter, and it still works. It's curious when they sometimes change a song live, but I mean in added parts. NP: Blood On The World's Hands (live, TAATG single) I just love the bass solo and I think this could...

Iron Maiden - Where Eagles Dare (live 1993, Vienna) Great close-up footage, very good sound, rare song for the tour. Bruce with strong vocals (not common for this tour) and Janick's additional solo in the middle is odd, but I would have liked it in the original version, it somehow fits oddly...

Wings Of Steel deliver live.

Tailgunner - Futures Lost (live) :rocker: They're a good live band too. This is a really cool and effective song from their debut - a slight power metal sound, fast verses, catchy melody and chorus, strong solos and riffs, and the Maiden-esque harmony is pure gold (the drumming under it...

Some thoughts: A drawn cover for TXF (used live as a backdrop for Man On The Edge) showed that it would be much better (same as DOD), but they wanted a change in the art style just for this album. Even the colors look better. For Man On The Edge, I guess a cover idea wasn't easy to come up...

3 "The Trooper" +3 2 "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" +2 1 "Holy Smoke" +1 0 The X Factor 0 "Man on the Edge" 0 The Essential Iron Maiden Trooper Eddie and cover are just timeless. Like a perfect idea for the band. I guess it will be one of the Top 5 covers in the game. BYD has a lot...

So different than the last tour, the LP as a backup or a specific song?

In this interview, Adrian said (14:35) that he's getting a new Lado guitar made and it's a real beauty (''it's a real metal machine''). Looking forward to it, especially the color (maybe blue like 1988?). I assume for the Maiden tour. He said he rediscovered them. His favorite guitars: Les Paul...

Bruce Dickinson - 1000 Points Of Light I don't think of this song as a filler/lesser anymore. The new version with the keys under the chorus brings the Purple vibe, it stands out a bit more. The thrash-y riff shines more as well. I still think the calm middle part is one of Bruce's best. That...

Solar Angels has a cool and heavy riff, but it's not really a (good, imo) live song. Even for Rob, although it's easy for him. It always sounded like a 70s Priest song to me. Btw, they could have used a more epic screen video/art for it. They could have played the underrated Reckless instead...

:ok: I always thought Rhythm Of The Beast is a cool piece, but this ''Beehive Boogie'' instrumental (written by Nicko and Dave?) is awesome. The harmony is a lost Maiden classic, easily could have been part of an 80's or early 90s song of theirs. It gives me Powerslave vibes. The melodies are...

Tailgunner - Revolution Scream :rocker: What a cool song, very early 2000s vibe. The chorus and the transition (aka the pre-chorus) to it are so memorable. The intro melody is so Bruce solo. A new favorite.

Anguish Project - Reaching The Sky The only good song from their new album imo. It has a nice Skunkworks (and at least melodic) vibe.

Now this is one of the best Maiden fan covers! Great job. :ok: Easily could have been an album cover, we can see an actual part of the wall (and mountain), perfect colors too. Love it. I wish it was done by the band, like SJ Eddie on a horse amidst grasslands and a mountain and Pagodas on the...

Cool from Adrian. :) Some of the different licks he used for TWOTW solo here are interesting and fitting, he always finds the right melodies. Playing recent music is great, some inspiration for a new one maybe. The backing track, the instrumental of the song- the production sounds different...
