    Favorite 80's Maiden album closer?

    Alexander The Great Hallowed Be Thy Name Only The Good Die Young Rime Drifter To Tame A Land Iron Maiden Never like the last two. Drifter is kinda fun. Rime has sections that are 10/10 but also lengthy parts that I dislike. OTGDY is the weakest track on one of their best albums. HBTN is...

    Favorite post-80's Maiden album opener?

    Easy: Futureal. Not only the best post-80s opener. It's the best opener overall. Especially Blaze's live versions with the added harmonies.

    He claimed that he thought it was him as a Red Cross doctor helping people or something :rolleyes: He's also actively antagonizing the Pope, which is kinda hilarious.

    Favorite 80's Maiden album opener?

    In my defense, I was lazy and not happy with it either. There are great riffs in that song, no doubt. The competition is fierce though.

    Favorite 80's Maiden album opener?

    Definitely better than 1086 :D Bruce's voice was in pretty bad shape in 1986 because of the World Slavery Tour. Nicko was struggling in 2023. Seems those songs were cursed to always have problems and issues.

    Apparently (according to Magyar) Orban conceded and congratulated him on the win! Orban is finally gone, it's kinda unreal.

    Favorite 80's Maiden album opener?

    Aces High is really not my thing. Invaders is one of their weakest songs. Prowler and WED are okay, but not great. TIOM is cool, but too simple. Moonchild is the strongest track, imo, followed by CSIT.

    Aces High will not be changed. They created an entire video for it which goes beyond the borderline screensaver that SSOASS got. None of the other songs will be changed either, but Aces High is one of the centerpieces. Come on now.

    One thing that I don't understand (reunion vs. 1980s & early 90s)

    There are certainly more interesting ways to approach harmonies. One of my favorite examples is over 20 years old at this point... Absinthe With Faust, from Cradle of Filth's Nymphetamine album: (It starts around the 2:28 mark, in case the time stamp doesn't work) You have one guitar playing...

    I can reveal that I was not approached to wax lyrical about VXI :(

    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    The two things left in this tour that are interesting to me are the Paris show since it's the next live album, and the whole Eddfest thing, because of stuff like Blaze's set.

    Yup. His endorsements look almost comical right now with most of them being withdrawn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_California_gubernatorial_election I'll never understand how people with such skeletons in their closets are attracted to positions that practically guarantee that every...

    Fair enough, kinda depends on how we define massacre. It's true that, if we're talking about the Dems winning every seat across the board, this probably won't happen. Since the general election in 2024 most races have had the Dems overperfo quite a bit. Many blue seats got a bigger lead, quite a...

    Red because the GOP is going to be massacred, sure.

    It's probably kinda surreal for you to be featured so prominently in a video like that, right? Congrats!

    If Iran gets any of their 10 points it'll be a massive win for them. Lifting sanctions that have been in place since GWB, permanent toll on oil tankers in Hormuz, forcing the US and Israel to cease hostilities... In the end all this destruction and death, and the destabilisation of the global...

    Thanks, I'll give it a watch later! I just remember her floating the idea of "abuse of power" at some point, but as I mentioned, I'm not really up to date on that story. That makes the whole thing even less fitting for a comparison with Trump. Speaking of that lunatic, this is what he posted...

    + the raping of children + destroying the world economy (we are about to really feel the consequences of the Iran war in the next few weeks, this has only just begun) Edit: To be fair though, about the "consenting adult", I suppose that could be argued. Due to the power imbalance between them...
