Why don't you just read the news? Then you would be better informed.

I generally don’t have time for that, nor is it of the highest priority for me. Between school, social relationships and hobbies I rarely find myself feeling the need to read the news. The only news I read is the entomological journal, which is a subject I find more intriguing and important. Also I don’t understand politics very well —which is, from my experience, the most covered topic by the news. My inherent lack of understanding of politics lead to a disinterest in the subject, as I feel I don’t understand the foundational facts. I am trying to better in this department, but for the time being it is a roadblock for me.

Trying to better yourself is the key, so good job. Politics have become very confusing indeed for the uninformed (probably on purpose), so the more work you put in the better. The worst outcome is never learning and thus becoming easily fooled by politicians who prey on the uninformed (like our incoming second term president).

Well, if you want to be better in understanding something, the first thing to do is to educate yourself. You're in school, so I get it - but once you're out of school, you're entirely responsible for your own education. Learning can be a lifelong habit and you can choose to grow that habit now.

Yes that was partly what I mean when I said I should conduct further research. But you are correct and I will read up more. Although I will do it selectively because certain political subjects I find very boring, like economics. I think a good starting point for me is climate change related politics, because of my interest in ecology. Anyway I’m a bit of topic here so I’ll say this: I hope Adrian is doing alright and that these fires may stop.

Here's the first video btw.


And the second.


Not to move the subject away from a serious situation but his house looks surprisingly modest for a millionaire rock star.

Even small houses in that area with around 1500-2000 square ft go for upwards of 5 million. And the footprint can be misleading. Many of those homes built on hillsides can be 2 and even 3 levels.
 
In the last Metal Hammer Germany, the preview of the next issue announced an article about the new Smith/Kotzen album, possibly also an interview.
Now I'm looking through the new issue and there's - nothing! Not even the standard, a short review in the soundcheck.
Nothing at all.
And Metal Hammer Germany knows very well that their readers like everything related to Iron Maiden.
Maiden also won the readers' poll 2024 as best band again, this poll is in the new issue.

Has Adrian listened to the album one more time and decided that this collaboration has no new ideas and that it would be better to hide the album? :D
Very strange.
Or am I blind now? I'll have another look through the magazine.

The release date has been pushed to from early March to April sometime, so I think its a bit to soon for reviews. I ordered the vinyl from Sweden Rock Magazine, and it includes a signed poster. Very excited to put it in the office next to my signed Bruce Dickinson poster!
 
I rather liked the first album and went to the Manchester gig. I imagine they will look to tour it again, got the second LP on order.
