So that's the special art for the show Eddie festival (right to be called)? Nice nod to the SSOASS era, what a wild shape of the head. Oh well, we'll have to wait for the tour art. Cool event for the fans, but it could/should have other interesting stuff, surprises (setlist-wise, a NPFTD song)...

They seem to use a similar spoken word tour intro to Bruce's MP tour one (named Invaders, iirc). They also use the same official recording company. Let's hope both solo projects release live shows or at least some videos.

Masterplan - Chase The Light New single from them (their last one was a standalone song in 2024 called Rise Again - a nice power metal, but not fast). The singer's timbre is not really my cup of tea, but the cool keys intro, the heavier riff/tempo in the verses, the classic pre-chorus with...

Favorite drummers? Hmm, probably: Nicko McBrain - I just love his unique style. Dickie Fliszar - that energy and wild drumming in Dive! Dive! Live! Eric Carr - his feel between rock and metal was perfect. ...others whose parts in their style I enjoy, at a first thought - Dan Zimmermann, Vinny...

This outfit fits Bruce's solo works mystical vibe, it could have been used for the next lead single video. Let's hope the song is cool and ofc melodic, I mean Rainbow and Maiden. His outfit for Maiden's next (album) tour is curious, more so than for his next solo tour, he prefers leathers and...

Second in a row cool cover of theirs for the imagination. It could have been even more detailed. The colors work.

Ha, they're using a different art live as a show backdrop, instead of the latest album cover weak creation... not surprised. That would have been better. It seems they also released 2 standalone singles last year (Bark To Hell and Hellfire Crusade) - and besides the cool riffs and verses speed...

Special art for the Knebworth show? Something about the stage?

Agreed, but the sound of both it and the previous classic album is a continuation (like the Keepers), only some different parts like the outro of ''Shine On'' are the ''new'' in the sound. Their sound was slightly different for the first 3 albums, they don't really have one album with that...

One more album is our hope, I doubt about Steve's thought for semi-retirement but still releasing new music. Bruce is still a beast. It would be ironic for them to do a final Hits tour after a year-long break with songs from all eras after replacing Nicko and doing the RFYL set. We don't know...

https://www.instagram.com/realkaihansen/p/DUIfXTdDQNF/?hl=bg Kai hints at a GR return to live shows? He can't wait to play the song ''Pray'' from the SOIS album, a surprising choice (not played live since 1997 iirc). A different kind of song for the band, even for its album, typical 80s/90s...

Disappointed, not sure (it would be bittersweet if you know, the surprise factor), I'd want it ofc, but it's how they feel. The stage would be curious. An idea: They could release a new album (in 2027 or early 2028) plus a support tour for 3 years and do -> 1 year with 5-6 new songs and some...

Idk if they would do it, but what if ''The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg'' is Eddie? It would be odd methinks. Bruce and Steve have said so before, but let's see. Some unexpected decisions lately. Possible scenario. Good call, but at the same time I guess he'll miss Nicko more in the...

Both Reunion albums are like equal for me, but G&M has 3 of my absolute favorite songs of the band, all written by Kai. I also like Skyfall a lot. More fun? I think they are both the same in that respect, the latest one has more breathing space compared to the previous one. The guitars are low...

Tailgunner - Midnight Blitz Definitely one of the best classic sounding new bands. Album of the year so far for me, no fillers(!), every song is memorable and high quality - and that's not easy. Pure 80s/90s influence in their sound (from Maiden to Priest to HammerFall), love it. I wish their...

I agree it's underrated, and some songs are fitting for the band and Tony Martin era: ''In For The Kill'', the worthy title track (a classic heavy and mid-tempo epic; the keys!), ''Danger Zone'', ''Angry Heart'', ''In Memory''... it's not like the others are that far off from their 80s style...

The inlay imagery is indeed noticeable. It would have been fitting for the band, such mystical arts are always cool to me, and for metal. Imagine it with colors, perfect storytelling and weird stuff vibe. Especially for a comic-like inspired release... ^From the booklet (it's different...

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.
