2 Minutes to Midnight could work in the same vain as The Wicker Man. Opening the show with a spotlight on H playing the opening riff and the rest of the band coming in with some pyro.
I can see it.
Saw Priest last night, and there aren't enough superlatives in the English language to describe how good they were. When I was watching videos on Youtube from this tour, I was a bit worried about Halford's vocals. He sounded pretty ropey on songs like Panic Attack. But he really pulled out all...
My dad was big fan of Priest in the 80s, and only knows albums from that era. Panic Attack came on Planet Rock, and it blew his mind and is even more excited to see them live next week. I like to think that's a good barometer of how good of an album it really is.
I hope I'm wrong, but I just feel like the machine is being wound down now.
Who knows, they might do an album after a final tour. But I don't think it'll be before then.
We're all assuming that there's even going to be a new album? I doubt there will be, I think they'll see out their career as a live band.
I think they've got one big tour left in them, taking them through 2026 and then that's that.
If one epic is being brought back, it's Rime. Bruce has mentioned wanting to bring it back far too many times for it to be a coincidence.
With Alexander, I can imagine their attitude being "we've played it, now fuck off and leave us alone", and drop it from the setlist.
For an album ten years in the making, it doesn't really feel like he's spent much time making it. It just feels so rushed. Almost as if he's gone into the recording booth, did one take of the vocals, and called it a day.
I'm lucky to have seen Blaze perform this acoustically in a tiny record shop in Wolverhampton a few years ago. Absolutely haunting, such a beautiful song.
For some reason, I don't see this is as a Maiden song, I see it as a Blaze song. He just owns it whenever he plays it solo.
I had a thought when I was looking at tickets for AC/DC. Standing tickets for Wembley are now £300 each, thanks to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing. The last time I was at Wembley Stadium for a gig, that was for Roger Waters doing The Wall in 2013, and my standing ticket was £65 (which was worth...
