    Maidens Guitar styles

    I learned to single out Janick's style pretty quick. He's really quite distinct. Well, they all are, but I'd say Dave and Adrian are closer. Janick is really fast and goes crazy, Davey does all those sweeping melodic style solos (listen to Powerslave or Phantom of the Opera), and Adrian has the...

    Is Iron Maiden's Magic touch Bruce

    While Ozzy is still my favourite Sabbath vocalist, I came to completely re-evaluate Dio-Sabbath last year. There's no doubt that Dio was/is the most technically proficient vocalist the band ever had, and H&H/TMR are awesome albums. However, Ozzy was there when it all began, and despite his lack...

    Bootlegs from the Somewhere Back In Time Tour so far

    It'll do so far. The audio is decent. If it weren't for the clapping maxing the mic it would have been good enough to last. Hopefully a better one will surface, but this is still better than what I had for the Scandinavium show last tour. thanks a lot!

    Bootlegs from the Somewhere Back In Time Tour so far

    No news on the Ullevi show? The 2005 one is a definite A+. I know there was no pro shooting going on for the SBIT show, but there has to have been someone recording. I don't have DC++ so I can't check the hub, and I've yet to find anything on BT.

    The Right To Die

    I'm not quite sure I get this. Doesn't everyone have the right to refuse treatment? This would only work in the case of someone being unconscious due to trauma or some kind of acute attack (stroke etc), and when the doctor shows up they can't treat them? So what are the regulations? Pump them...

    My response from Swedens Minister of Education (Well, his assistent)

    That right there is the biggest problem. I think the "brats" hanging around at the mall all day are a very small percentage. The real problem lies in the ones who are apathetic, depressed and just don't care anymore. And I don't think cops will solve the problem for those kids. I myself had in...

    My response from Swedens Minister of Education (Well, his assistent)

    This is a more complex issue than I'd like it to be. And while the current system obviously isn't working. Police won't solve anything. Just like a lot of Björklund's other proposals it's nothing more than a theoretical construct that he puts out there to appease his voter base who think that...

    Ten More Years

    This might be prejudice talking, but hasn't that kind of "male-child-preference" been a factor in China/India for a long while? I know I've heard an explanation for the occurrence in (rural) India which claimed that it was due to female children being less profitable. Dowry, lack of job...

    Death Metal?

    Who, "ask and ye shall receive" indeed :p I'll get to work checking them out. I did hear of MDB when I first checked out Katatonia (which were also doom/death in the beginning), but I never checked them out properly. Gorefest I've heard of but shied away from simply from the name I guess (which...

    Death Metal?

    Long time since I was last here, but I have a kind of follow-up-question. As I said earlier, Opeth got me into the genre. I continued to Katatonia's early albums which I really enjoy, especially Brave Murder Day, then I got into Bloodbath recently (mainly Breeding Death and Unblessing the...

    Donington 1988 videos

    Someone who knows how should really sync these to the sound files from Eddie's Archive. Surprisingly good sound anyway though. Or did they do any more shows?

    Maiden England and Live at Donington appear on Shirley's mixes discography..

    Always found it odd that Adrian didn't have more vocal-work. He's by far the best singer in the band next to Bruce, but it seems Steve sings more often. And Steve himself has joked about himself not being able to sing.

    Maiden England and Live at Donington appear on Shirley's mixes discography..

    I wrote and re-wrote that pretty late, I can see why you'd have difficulties understanding it. I've edited it for clarity. What I meant was this: Does this mean that the Donington 07 show will be the DVD-released as a "companion" to AMOLAD, like RIR was to BNW and DOTR to DOD. Also, if it was...

    Maiden England and Live at Donington appear on Shirley's mixes discography..

    So, this means for sure that Donington show will be the one used for the DVD of the AMOLAD tour? I think that's pretty awful. It was a great show, but when the AMOLAD tour was such a massive undertaking, with the entire album played, it's a shame we don't get the full album live, but only the...

    Official Tourdates Discussion Thread

    Re: More tourdates to be announced on Halloween says IM.com How long does IMFC activation usually take? I'm thinking about joining up to get access to the pre-sale for the Scandinavian shows. Also, if someone could help me decipher the press release, are the Scandinavian dates supposed to be...

    New Bruce Dickinson interviews (last: 29-Jan-2008)

    Re: New Bruce Dickinson interview (spoiler on upcoming setlist!) WARNING! DO NOT VISIT THE "Fanclub"-PAGE OF IRONMAIDEN.COM! There's a song-spoiler. I'll leave it at that, but they state definitely that one song will be played. I won't mention which album, or why they've mentioned it, but...

    If you could meet one person from the past...

    I'm having real trouble narrowing it down to one. So many choices. Lots of great minds would be fun, Milton, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Swift, Newton, Einstein, Blake and so on, but I have a feeling the conversation would be quite dull. Oscar Wilde would have to be my pick. I have a feeling he...

    New Bruce Dickinson interviews (last: 29-Jan-2008)

    Re: New Bruce Dickinson interview (spoiler on upcoming setlist!) I don't want to check out the spoiler-tag. I really don't want to know which particular songs are being played. But is there any info as to which period or albums it's going to be? ie. is it still Live After Death + Powerslave...

    The Legacy

    Re: 'The Legacy' I always took it as being "semi-referential" to Bush/Blair. I saw the death-bed as being a metaphor of the declining popularity of them both, and not a literal interpretation. I also agree that the "promises of peace"-line makes it unlikely to be a conventional dictator. ie...
