With the last two samples (I guess being from the same song), I felt quite the same about Dream Theater sounding parts on the 2nd one, but on the 1st one it's rather Pagan's Mind sounding thing.

Buy 10 cases of "Afterglow Of Ragna-Bock" beer and you can be the second on-stage guitarist at a tour date of your choice! Hurry, as band slots are going fast!

That's very possible (''Afterglow Of Ragnarok'', a dark mid-tempo song), the melody and the riff are kind of similar. Although I thought the first sample is probably from the title track.
Yeah, thought it was just mine that did that. At a guess some email services block automated emails better than others

It's livenation who might be up to something regarding pre sales. Tomorrow 8th at 11am according to livenation.hu for Budapest show.
O2 has a presale starting tomorrow morning (10am UK time), but Live Nation's presale for the UK dates wasn't until Thursday, last time I looked
Most of the Download 2024 lineup has just been announced and no Bruce so far. It's still possible. There's a hole in his schedule and not all acts have been announced

Why are you face-palming? This sounds like fucking gold.

It'll be more entertaining than his 'key note' business snooze fests...I mean speeches.

I've seen Chemical Wedding Movie and it was a shame. But I imagine he'll play as a support of his son as director, yes, now he makes movies.
The problem with the meme/gimmicky bands is that once you get past the gimmick the music isn't any good. It's all designed for shortform content on Instagram/TikTok and not for people who actually enjoy music. But there has always been a bit of tongue and cheek humor in Metal that is comparable to what you see in low budget horror/slasher films, so it seems like a good mix.

Fully agreed. Gloryhammer is one of the few bands I kinda enjoy, because the musicians are actually competent. Most other bands only have the gimmick and no musicality to rely on.
Even stuff like death metal, which at first might seem serious, brutal, evil, whatever, is quite cheesy and intentionally over the top. At least there are a bunch of bands that approach it in that way.
As for the movie, it's probably not going to be a masterpiece, but it sounds like a fun premise.

Good point! I'm hopeful he still has the same drive at that point to stay as busy as he has been for the last forty-odd years, and hope he does keep making music beyond Maiden. I remember back in the Balls to Picasso days he was asked if his career in metal ever fizzled, he thought he might become a folk singer.
It's possible more dates might be announced. Guess I've been going by the assumption around here that his solo touring would end in July, and there would be a couple months of downtime/rehearsals before the 2nd leg of Future Past.

AFTERGLOW!!!
You could have MaidenFan meet ups to go see the movie!

Actually, I got some dates mixed up and see as well that there's only a little over a month between Bruce's last show and the start of Maiden's tour so he will definitely need a break. He could do more touring in 2025 though so there's still hope.Good point!
