I guess it was because they were writing two styles (hard rock and heavier glam metal) for two different albums, the focus was divided. Painkiller is what they were trying to do with Ram It Down, but fully developed. They needed a transitional album to say, kind of like Maiden with SIT and...

It's not the strongest 70s-sounding album (muddy isn't cool at all), but the drum sound is like ''solid'' for that era. I enjoy the sound of the guitars, they have a rather ''nice, clean and kind of warm'' sound that suits the music and themes (almost like for the previous album, but weaker)...

This is next level wrong on his part... we don't know the whole story, it's probably personal (not started by Bruce, I think he should blame only himself), but Bruce made the right decision. Just look at this. The chemistry of his new band is great. TMP is one of the most unimpressive and...

Kevin visited Nicko's RARR (idk if that's rare)... hopefully another reason is to discuss when he will record his parts to participate in a couple of songs on a new album. Early 2027 before Bruce's tour?

https://blabbermouth.net/news/helloweens-andi-deris-says-now-would-a-good-time-for-part-four-of-keeper-of-the-seven-keys-album-saga Keeper Part 4 would be curious, with the current lineup and in terms of art. The Legacy album is different than them (this is its original name, probably) or from...

An interview with Steve and Dave from 1996. They talk about how they were uncertain if the fans would accept the new lineup, that Blaze sounds great live (he's never done 2-hour sets and a year-long tour before), there's a good sound live footage from TXF tour - and among the things, Steve said...

I agree, Rapid Fire is better with Ripper's singing/approach. Definitely more impactful. The middle part of the song is perfect, he also sings Metal Gods with more aggressive vocals. The song fits his style with the band very well, they even re-recorded it for the Demolition album - and the...

Their fantasy covers are captivating, which is cool for their style, and the colors work so good.

Some photos from the 50th anniv documentary promo: Rare ones from the NPOTR tour and a backstage photo from the 2005 tour on DOD's booklet's lounge (I've never seen it before).

A thought: The pose and approach of TBOS Eddie on the cover would have still been impactful if it was with one of the booklet's arts (the jungle setting). Or just a subtle details (the pyramid's entrance, for example) and shadows for even more impact (unlike SJ's). The actual cover is a perfect...

I love both (two weaker songs overall, 6-7 big classics), but SJ has some stronger and slightly more interesting/special ideas, at least for me (plus Hell On Earth is one of my favorite songs ever). But I enjoy them and the balance of the shorter songs in TBOS. Both albums have some parts I...

It sounds classic CG (intro, verses, riffing) and pretty solid (thrash metal riffs), but the chorus' signature is like a different part of a different song. Interesting song though. The vocalist with a very good job. np: Masterplan - Through The Storm Classic power metal (even intro with...

Same here. Is that really true? The original idea was just Eddie and the monks behind him, the figures weren't Patchett's idea or work. Such a missed opportunity if true, for a better and perfect vibe for the theme. I guess they were jumping between the two like with BNW cover, drawing and CGI...

https://blabbermouth.net/news/richie-faulkner-doesnt-see-judas-priest-retiring-anytime-soon-i-joined-the-band-on-a-farewell-tour-and-that-was-15-years-ago It's great to read that Priest are still so inspired by the cycle of doing a tour and then making a new album.

What to say, it makes you feel excited. It's for all eras (Blaze's voice :)) and I think the band members will be shown, it was a long time in the making after all. Btw, we can see a shot of a new animated Eddie in the trailer (I think it's Killers Eddie), but he looks so old and different...

Interesting. Her vocal parts and some of the tempo changes remind me of classic Nightwish, even not being riff-driven. The song makes you feel nostalgic.

1.SIT (no fillers) 2.SSOASS (same, but with one weaker song) 3.Powerslave (some of the material and music are timeless) 4.POM (very solid, but some are not my favorites) 5.TNOTB (only because of two songs... even only one) The last 3 could swap places.

Two songs that felt more studio songs than live cuts for me are: The Legacy (specific structure) and Tears Of A Clown.

It's always cool to see such studio videos. Will they release for the other band members too? I hope so. Tanya is lovely, I expect some interesting and noticeable bass lines, maybe with her new white bass, for which she said she uses for sort of mid-bass sound/parts (another Resurrection...

Adrian said here that there is a good chance SK will tour again in 2027. Let's hope that bodes well with a potential new Maiden album. Since he has the whole 2027 to tour, it could be a fall tour. Btw, he watched Maiden back in the 70s, he really enjoys playing and opening with Murders, and one...
