It is still seen as the odd stepchild of the reunion. I have never understood the negativity towards the album. Ok the mix is not the strongest and there are a few weaker songs, but there is a good balance between long and short songs and the longer songs have some interesting parts to them.

The Final Frontier will always be overlooked by a large proportion of the fanbase. It’s a shame, as it was the last album where Adrian was actually adventurous with his song writing.

Maybe they are hoping the videos for Aces High is a distraction from the vocal performance… In all seriousness, Bruce has admitted in interviews that Aces High is too hard for him that late in the set. Personally I would have preferred a song like Tailgunner in the spot. They could have still...

Referencing my earlier post, Jack Sherman played guitar for the Chili Peppers first album but he didn’t get inducted. I know there was some bad blood between them, but not inducting him was a piss poor move. It seems so random.

I remember the Red Hot Chili Peppers omitted Jack Sherman and Dave Navarro. Both only played on one album. Still it was a pretty douchey thing to do.

Thanks for sharing. Nicko pretty much confirms that the Senjutsu tour would have gone over 2021 and 2022 if the pandemic hadn’t come along. I am still convinced they would have put TWOTW in the setlist for the LOTB 2020 tour. Senjutsu would have come out on September 2020 after the tour.

I don’t think Maiden will record another album, but I will be pleasantly surprised if they do. I am not a fan of bands cashing in on their back catalogue, but I believe Maiden have earned it on my opinion. There have been so many occasions on the past where they could have played it easy but...

Other than band members leaving, the band has never really had that much juicy gossip attached to them. In just intrigued to see what route this goes down. I think it has the potential to be a great film.

I think some elements of the fan base could be a reason for a potential hiatus. I get the feeling that some of them are insufferable and have develop some sort of para-social relationship with the band. Jutty Tylor was hounded out of the band by fans on Twitter. There were allegations that were...

I’m going back on myself. I listened to the mix in the car and it sounded excellent.

Grace Under Pressure is one of my fav spirits albums by them. I was really excited about the boxset. Again it is a hard pass from me. I am not being cranky, but I am sick and tired of bands charging the earth for products like this. I want to support bands by buying physical media, but I can...

Thanks for the details. Hard pass.

Downtuning is good, but it doesn't stop the march of ‘Father Time’. Some songs will just be off limits regardless of tuning.

I dread to think what the ticket prices will be.

I see your ‘X Factor Eddie’ and I’ll raise you ‘Original Wicker Man Eddie’.

Right back at you! It was great to finally meet up and occasionally rip on Bruce! That being said, it was great to see him there supporting Adrian. I don’t think he has been back in the UK for long after recording his album.

Just on the way home from the Smith/Kotzen gig. It was phenomenal! The musicianship was off the charts. It was a full of guests from the Maiden camp. @GhostofCain and I spotted Bruce, his wife, Adrian’s wife and daughters, Shacky and Nicky Campbell. I even had a chat with Noel Fitzpatrick (The...

I gave this one listen on my EarPods this morning and did not get on with the mix at all. I’ll stick to the original.

Personally I think the fan base would have had the same complaints if Maiden had gone down the short songs route. At some point, like the epics, they would all start to sound the same. After all, there are only so many riffs and chords progressions (especially in the keys Maiden stick with) that...

That’s a good find! Return of the King is one of the few songs I ever bought on iTunes back in the day. I have the best of Bruce so I already have Real World. I don’t care too much for Confeos.
