Is anyone aware of any live videos with audio as good as or better than the dude who put up the two Whisky-A-Go-Go shows? There's a lot of footage up on YouTube but I haven't found anything where the guitars are as clear.

That's a really poor excuse in 2024. Lots of big bands and artists have more malleable setlists and still have professional lighting and video packages to accommodate the changes. I think they're just stuck in their ways at this point.

Very cool, thanks for the run down! All the years I've been playing The Chemical Wedding I've never used anything other than E Standard, playing inverted power chords for the intro riff and what not. Thank you again for the info! I just tabbed out the verse section of TCW on Baritone 6 string...

On the tours for AoB and TCW both Adrian and Roy played the Drop A songs (such as King In Crimson and Trumpets of Jericho) on guitars tuned to Drop D then further detuned with pedals. Source: I asked Roy Z on Twitter years ago and that's what he said. Presumably in studio they had guitars set up...

Pointless in terms of critiquing the band maybe, but as a guitar player and avid fan of the 3 styles of playing going in in the band I find the isolated tracks invaluable. There are so many fun live-isms that have grown into the songs over the years and I really enjoy adding them into my own...

I agree there are a lot of mistakes that they left in, and I think that's great. It's a shame that they don't mix live stuff the same anymore (Dave left, Janick right and Adrian "center").

Have you ever checked out Adrian's isolated guitar audio? It's on YouTube and it's fantastic, so many little details!

The making of The Mandrake Project

Are you allowed to say what kind of guitar tunings we can expect across the album? 6 string E standard? 6 string Drop D? 6 string D standard? 6 string baritone in B? 7 string anything? Are most songs in a common tuning or is it all over the place? Thank you!

I feel that AMOLAD did a few fun 3 guitar things that weren't just harmonies. I think it's the best guitar album and overall album they've ever put out.

Thanks! I asked him on Twitter many years ago about playing King In Crimson and Trumpets of Jericho live, he said they were Drop D guitars with a Boss pitch shift pedal to take them down to A but it looks like he hasn't been on Twitter in a couple of years. Thanks for the info.

Cool, thank you for the clarification! Where did he say this, and did he mention anything else about gear or tunings used on the album? Thanks again!

Get off my lawn

Afterglow is either a 7 string in B Standard or a 6 string dropped way down -- the lowest Bruce has gone before is down to A with King In Crimson and Trumpets of Jericho. He's had E standard and Drop D across his other material as well, I wonder what the bulk of the new album will be in, tuning...

Can we request Bruce solo stuff? Isolating Roy and Adrian guitar tracks on Scream For Me Brazil would be pretty rad. Just saying. :D

A soundboard or perhaps radio broadcast recording of the AMOLAD tour. It's absolutely criminal that they never released a professionally mixed show from this tour, as to me it stands as their all time best album. Dave is mixed left, Janick is mixed right and Adrian's "center" comes and goes...

It's sad how out of shape Dave has let himself become, aging and touring can't be easy on the body but when you let your health deteriorate like that I can't imagine it makes things any easier. I used to think that Nicko would be the one whose health would be the thing that stops the band but it...

Metallica mixes up their setlist every night of every tour and doesn't shy away from the more challenging and obscure stuff in their back catalogue. Maiden tours on the same set list of safe songs for 2 or 3 years at a clip and minus the odd obscure track it's kept pretty tame, they're hardly...

They were my undisputed #1 for many years but their decision to do multi-year oldies tours ("we'll never become a cabaret act" they said, as they became a cabaret act) has really hurt their standing in my books. AMOLAD was peak Maiden for me and that ranks as one of the best albums of all time...

AMOLAD!!
