I very much appreciate the visual consistency and overall style of the The Book of Souls and Senjutsu albums and their representative media, so I kind of wish The Final Frontier also went with that. The album cover isn't the best, but I don't hate it either. The comic-book style "single covers"...

Regarding the discussion around Roy Z, I'll quote myself (full of self-importance, I know): I'm fairly optimistic that they initially had the idea that Roy Z would join them on tour and things would play out nicely, but for some reason, I still think that him dropping out wasn't a terrible...

Navigate the Seas of the Sun - wow! The ending was a bit rusty indeed, but I believe it'll come together when they get some more performances of it underway. I'm quite happy with the setlist and the little rotation there. Might mean that I'll get to hear both, Jerusalem and Navigate the Seas of...

The pre-chorus and the chorus are a bit tough for Bruce there, but hey, first show and the last song. The verses sound bloody good! His "matured" voice really suits some of these songs really, really well! ROCK!!!

Watched a few clips. The band sounds great, Bruce sounds great and he seems really excited. The setlist is absolutely brilliant and I couldn't be more excited for the two shows I'll be seeing in June. YES!

I think Aquarius/Book of Thel is the most likely direct swap! Others seem very plausible too, but I doubt about both The Chemical Wedding and The Alchemist being swapped. We'll see! ...then again, with The Tower and Book of Thel being very likely there, I doubt they'd play four songs from The...

Words "Moonchild" and "unfortunately" in a setlist guess do not belong together... ;) *BOOOM* I AM HE... THE BORNLESS ONE! One of my favourite openers for sure! Would love to witness it again and I'm sure it'd be magnificent performance, given how great Bruce still sounds and how they've...

Okay, so the tour is actually starting this Friday, 12.4, at the "Whisky a Go Go" in Los Angeles! "Tickets can only be purchased at the box office of the Whisky from Friday at 10am!" Source: brucedickinsonhq on Instagram.

It is indeed! I just mentioned the 1986/87 tour as well, as they certainly had a backdrop for Rime back then, but it's not easy to find a good quality pictures or take a good screenshot from the live videos of that time. :) So as far as "official art" for Rime of the Ancient Mariner goes, it...

The 1986/87 show also had a backdrop for it.

I think that was indeed the case with both songs. I'll check if I can find the interview where he mentioned that (if I remember correctly).

I know that many would want to hear Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast and Hallowed, but even without them, the current set still has a plenty of big classics (The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, Wasted Years, Madness...)... so if a speculated hits/anniversary/whatever tour 2025 will not have...

It would, at least, make attracting new listeners a lot harder and I believe there's a significant amount of (especially) younger fans who would, probably, be very disappointed in such a move. That might reflect on the touring market too. Edit: oops, @Jer above was faster!

I do not really dislike them either; I can see why the vocal lines and takes there might be slightly off-putting to some, as they're very rough and dry and kind of underline themselves in... not entirely positive light, one might argue. But I don't really have a problem when it comes to...

Wasted Years makes sense, but it's kind of funny seeing Run to the Hills there, given that Nicko is essentially impersonating Clive's playing there and even the tone of Bruce's voice changed slightly during those four years. :D I'm a bit late to the party, but I'd imagine that the song starts...

I really like the middle section in Resurrection Men too! I like the song overall, although the verses are a bit... rough indeed. bREAThiNG coSMiC inCUBATOr That being said, I actually expect this song to be a rather good live track!

I may have posted this before, but by going through my Google Drive, I came across some concert photos. Taken with my little Olympus pocket camera in 2013, I think this shot is actually very... 'Arry!

I think not, at least not for this year's tour. Silver Wings is probably one of the most realistic ones for that matter, though, but I just don't expect it to happen. Given that he has a very competent keyboard player on the road, I would love a surprise cut like No Way Out... Continued being...

I think there's a fair chance indeed regarding some very cool Seventh Son representation for the tour(s) they have left! The Clairvoyant would be cool, but I don't think it was hinted for 2018; it was just another case of those poster "hints" that could have multiple interpretations. They all...

I'm in the minority (?) that really likes the last Nightwish album and frankly, Noise is probably the least interesting song (for me) on it. That being said, I totally get why some see it the other way round. But on a purely personal level, I love the album (the "Human"/Disc 1 side of it...
