Metal Pilgrim knows a lot about the bands he talks about, but his content is made for more casual listeners. If you've been following Maiden or Priest for years, you won't learn anything new from his videos. But to me, his biggest problem is that he's always extremely positive about anything his...

Excellent news. It seems that I'll finally be able to see him live. Balls to the Wall is my favorite Udo-era album and many of the tracks from it haven't been played by Accept for a long time, so I'm sure that I'm gonna have a lot of fun in March.

I agree with the previous posts. On the other hand, a Powerslave-themed tour with a setlist that doesn't include Aces High would feel a bit weird, wouldn't it? It's one of their most popular tracks, so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought it back for a Powerslave celebration.

I've listened to the album 3 times so far. I like it. It's not as good as any of the first 3 records made with Mark, but it's definitely solid and enjoyable. I think that they shouldn't have released the title track as the lead single, it's the weakest song on the album. My favs? Southside of...

Could be since Bruce called it a "big tour". I guess they'll want to show something at least as spectacular as Legacy of the Beast, if not even more advanced than that. And then Bruce will be free to record as many albums and play as many tours as he wants. Sounds like a reasonable scenario.

It's definitely the best one so far. The riff is really tasty, and the track itself is catchy. Nothing mindblowing, but surely satisfying. However, I don't think that the record will beat Saxon's recent album. But maybe they saved some gems for the premiere.

Demolition is a horrible record. There are like 2-3 good songs on it, the rest is awful and ridiculously awful. But I really enjoy Jugulator. Could have been better, but there's a bunch of very solid tracks on the album. I really wouldn't mind hearing Bullet Train live, not to mention Cathedral...

2005-2009 were the worst years in Rob's career. I'm gonna see them at Masters of Rock, they were given 1h15, so the setlist is going to be just a bit shorter than their usual headlining set. I'm hoping for more Ripper-era tracks (Hell is Home, Blood Stained, Jugulator...) and it'd be nice if...

Interesting. Just a few days ago I read a French interview with Wolf and he called Phil "their live guitarist", not a "special guest". It made sense since most of the guitar tracks on Accept's albums are recorded by Wolf himself anyway. This situation sounds weird and it'd be nice to clarify it...

Sneap's production is not for everyone for sure, but it's not like Invincible Shield sounds exactly like Firepower. It doesn't even sound like Saxon's Hell, Fire and Damnation, which was released a few weeks before IS. Of course, people can complain that records produced by Sneap have a lot in...

They changed the original name of the tour from "Metal Masters" to "Metal Masters - Invincible Shield Tour" some time after announcing the album, so I wouldn't pay too much attention to the name itself.

Reckless is an interesting case. They rehearsed it a few years ago during the preparations for the anniversary tour, but it didn't work. I know that Richie is really interested in playing it live. Before the beginning of the current tour, Scott said that they're not gonna perform it "yet" -...

No idea. It was shorter in Leeds too. The show in Switzerland started pretty early for their standards (21:00, they usually get on stage at 21:20 or even later), so perhaps some logistic issues were the reason for shortening the setlist. I guess we'll see in a few hours, they're playing in...

Dublin :) A very nice one too. I never thought I would hear Sword of Damocles live.

The gig was very good. I've never heard a better performance of Saints in Hell than the one they delivered on Saturday. I was lucky to witness one of the first shows on the tour too, so I could notice improvements they've made in the meantime. At this point, Painkiller is boring to me, but this...

I don't see why they shouldn't. This is how we count millennia. Just like the 21st century started in 2001, the third millennium started in 2001. At least that's what I was taught in school... A lot of nice LPs! To me, The Rise of Chaos is the weakest output by the Tornillo era Accept, but it's...

The best metal album of the millennium? Nah. The best heavy metal album of the millennium? Most likely. Blood of the Nations is peak Accept to me. Few heavy metal records released in the 21st century are as good as BotN, the band achieved an amazing thing with this one. Also, if we're talking...

Glenn is the reason why they became a heavy metal band. Most of the revolutionary songs from their first albums are Tipton/Halford. Hell Bent for Leather, Exciter, Sinner... And some are Glenn's only - Running Wild, The Ripper, Heroes End. Both guitarists were important, but Tipton was always...

Phil is still in the band. He just wasn't present for the photoshoot. The same thing happened with some other musician (Motnik?) when they were shooting one of the videos for Too Mean to Die.
