Looking back when I first saw them in 2014, it was 8 out of 20 covers (7 GnR) https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/slash-featuring-myles-kennedy-and-the-conspirators/2014/phones-4u-arena-manchester-england-23cdf4bb.html That was despite having 2 full albums with over 30 songs available plus a few...

Saw Slash & Myles Kennedy and co. in Manchester last night. Pretty good. I’m not so keen on the album they are touring but still a solid, enjoyable gig. Preferred them at Manchester Apollo a few years back mind. A few people grumbling afterwards that there weren’t really any guns n roses...

So far I haven’t voted on a round in which I haven’t listened to every song. Admittedly if I get 90 seconds in and it’s not done anything for me I may skim through it, but I’ve given everything a listen even if it’s up against my nominees. For me, that’s the enjoyment in the whole thread...

Looking at how many members picked Stargazer, and how many of the lists it’s on, it has to be one of the most nominated songs so far. It’s really no surprise it’s sailing through.

Agree with what has been written so far. As an album, it was very top heavy. The first side is pretty strong but, once the novelty of All The Young Dudes has worn off, the second side is very weak. The covers of Sin City and Elected from this era are better than the originals on side B.

Saw AC/DC twice, in 96 and at Wembley in 2015. If there had been a Northern England gig I may have considered it, but at those prices with just Angus and Brian left I’ll wish them luck on their final tour and pass.

It’s one of my nominations. I like the ‘87 onwards Whitesnake, but I really dig some of the earlier stuff. Very difficult to choose which track to nominate between Trouble, Walking in the Shadow of the Blues, Love Ain’t no Stranger or Crying in the Rain but I’ve gone for WITSOTB.

Premier Inn Deansgate Locks. It has a large car park which is only £6 for 24 hours and is £54 with free cancellation. It’s a bit of a walk (25 mins) but a couple of bars on the way to break it up.

Manchester booked. Even booked the hotel for just £54. Result.

Hallowed is actually pretty heavy once you get past the intro. But overall I would go with Brighter Than A Thousand Suns.

Just revisiting the solo albums for the upcoming ranking competition and I'd forgotten just how much better and heavier the songs from Balls to Picasso sound on Alive in Studio A / Alive at the Marquee. Bruce and Co. definitely didn't make the best of that material.

Just watched the live stream of Saturday and similar with AC/DC. I’ve never heard Whole Lotta Rosie live without the crowd’s obligatory “Angus”, “Angus” between the opening riff. Just nothing from this crowd.

I’m always going to lean towards the rock-orientated stuff but I’m enjoying listening to so many of these bands I’ve never heard of. The shouty vocals put me off a lot of them, but I really liked that Celtic Frost track in this round. Plus I’ve already had some Gamma Ray on in the car this week...

I’ve got a few coming up that will stir the pot:bigsmile::bigsmile:

Agree on that. Loved that cover as a kid. My favourite wall poster.

The title track is obviously a classic, but the rest of Fear of the Dark is all a bit bland and uneventful to me. Whereas on NPFTD there were several songs I think are really good tracks, here I'd find it very difficult to rate the tracks in any order or preference. Even the singles aren't that...

I’ve a fondness for NPFTD as I was 13 when it came out and just properly getting into music. I’d got into Maiden by picking up a few of the ‘first ten years’ singles that had been rereleased earlier that year so it was the first ‘new’ album I could go out and buy that was currently relevant...

You’re defining me certainly there. There were a few heavier bands than Maiden on my list but most were more rock than metal. This competition (which seems like it will be amazing) will give us a good guide of the musical demographic of the forum, and I suspect that later on it will be the more...

Agree. It’s in my top 5 tracks.

I loved The Book Of Souls when released but it rarely gets a spin now. The title track is superb but the rest of it is all average by Maiden standards. All other albums I’d say my opinion hasn’t really changed.
