Adrian didn’t seem like a jolly guy on Rock in Rio when I first watched it as a 13 year old. He is much more relaxed nowadays.

I’ve been listening to En Vivo a lot during the past few weeks. I haven’t listened to it in ages.

Live After Death

I do. I have always felt they should marked big performances with a CD or download. However, Steve’s ‘perfectionism’ would never let this happen. Pearl Jam have been the champions of this approach for decades. I remember many years ago I bought their new studio album and got a code to download...

Interesting take. I would agree on The Book of Souls. The title track and SOTV are better than the Smith contributions. As I said before, I think H was burnt out writing proggier songs after TFF. Senjutsu I am not sure. Maybe it is a tie. TWOTW and DOFP are great. But so is Stratego. The Time...

Wrathchild just loves to pop up second in the setlist. Here’s what the rest of the setlist thinks.

But what happens if we need more seagull sound effects?

I will second Sanctuary but this version. They were clearly having the time of their life during the instrumental section!

The title says it all. I’ll start. Not only is this performance a complete force of nature, I always get a smile on my face during the final verse beginning with ‘Weary limbs fatigued away’. Adrian’s windmills, Bruce’s stance and the energy. It is just amazing. Plus Adrian is clearly loving...

I really enjoy The Final Frontier but it is such a lopsided album. They should have mixed the shorter songs and epics.

I know what you mean about AC. He lives in Reynosa. A bit sketchy but he loves it.

Sounds brutal! My older brother lives in Mexico!

What’s your AC situation like? It’s non-existent here in the UK.

I love the sound of the clean guitars on this album. The intro to Ghost of the Navigator is gorgeous. Both the melody and chords. I don’t think they have ever matched that lush sound since.

Senjutsu. The overall mix is great, but the arrangements are lazy. In my mind, I am counting that as production.

The weather this summer just sucks. All I want to do is go fishing and it is so hot here in the East of England. Just fed up now. We have had hardly any rain and it is just depressing. I know other parts of the world are struggling badly, but I just need to rant.

This is a tough one. There are several albums that didn’t click with me the first time. I fell asleep during The Final Frontier and The Book of Souls. I will go with Live After Death. I got this album quite late in my fandom. I had been a fan since 1999 and didn’t get it until 2008. To be...

During the LOTB setlist chat with Nicko on YouTube, he heavily implies he does not like BYDTTS. I can imagine that several other members don’t as well. I hope that I will one day see a song from No Prayer performed live. It’s the last one to tick off!

The very same! They call him ‘Big Tone’ not just because this name is Tony. It’s also because of his outstanding attention to detail with the overall sound (or tone) of the albums he works on.

I’m sure Big Tone is already mixing it.
