- They didn't play Revelations because of Flash Of The Blade. Curiously, he said Revelations originally had 2 more verses.

At least they played Revelations once, second to last song in the set. Good performance by the band, a bit of a different vibe as Bruce mentioned (Mistheria played an extra solo between the two solos, it's odd to hear one there; the solos were very nice renditions), Bruce rules. Philip with a double-neck guitar for it, cool. The keytar adds a nice flavor to the harmonies here. The tempo was steady. What a classic song.
He does indeed and he also looks to be having fun, bodes well for the future i`d say.Bruce rules.
It sure is ,one of Maidens finest, i hope to see it live again before they do pack in.What a classic song.
He mentioned last night all the songs will be recorded "live" with everyone in the same room, not using any studio tricks or technology. Definitely does sound like a return to that more raw energyOf all the possible directions, the one I’d least like to see is a return to that “street attitude” style of No Prayer, Tattooed Millionaire, or Balls to Picasso. That’s just my personal wish and preference.
I really think that Bruce's use of the phrase "recorded live" is pretty loose. I think he ultimately means: in the studio (not tracked via shared files in different home studios). I'll be very interested to see if "tracking live" literally means the final recordings are from the band playing all at the same time in the studio.He mentioned last night all the songs will be recorded "live" with everyone in the same room, not using any studio tricks or technology.

Whatever stylistic direction it takes in the end, the songs are pretty much guaranteed to be heavy and anthemic, with a ballad or two thrown in. This has always been consistent in Bruce’s work.I suggest we start a guessing game about which direction Bruce’s new album will take.

I don’t know anything about the songwriting styles of his new band members, other than Mistheria liking to bring in some more exotic sounds, which I generally liked on TMP. I just hope he doesn’t keep going down this 70s theatrical route with stuff like “Devil On A Hog” and “Rain On The Graves”…
Thanks for sharing! Always good to hear one of the best Maiden songs of all time (shame about the unnecessary keytar solo
Which is funny given his hate for no prayer for the dying album.He mentioned last night all the songs will be recorded "live" with everyone in the same room, not using any studio tricks or technology. Definitely does sound like a return to that more raw energy

That's not easy to say with a new band (it should have a bit of its own unique identity and features), and it's very curious, but we should expect: heavy, anthemic, melodic and some ballad-y parts, as always.I suggest we start a guessing game about which direction Bruce’s new album will take.
Most likely. It's like with Maiden (they will record for 3 weeks), and he said they'll record together playing. He wants the band feel, TMP wasn't like that. The overall production should be more polished though. It needs more punch and bigger drums. And yes, he needs to do more takes in the studio.I really think that Bruce's use of the phrase "recorded live" is pretty loose.

And for the sake of our ears, I sincerely hope Bruce's vocals are not tracked live with the band.
He probably prefers it because it's faster, Maiden's style of recording since 2003.Which is funny given his hate for no prayer for the dying album.
The problem with No Prayer isn't the performances. It is the songwriting and the production, a clear step down from anything else Birch did for Maiden.Which is funny given his hate for no prayer for the dying album.
