And the different stories of the dudes recording with Martin Birch were funny, well actually they had some time off from the studio at the near pub etc. The Disappearing armchair and such..really funny happenings
Yeah his magic trick showing only in the hotel roomsThe Disappearing armchair
Love it! These guys obviously have a great sense of humour for putting in the pointless bass outro!Possibly inspired by Maiden.
PS They've won the Internet!
I spent hours watching this. I would sit there transcribing melodies and solos from the video. I could probably tell you what happens frame by frame. That’s even more impressive when you think of the editing.
Have you ever checked out Adrian's isolated guitar audio? It's on YouTube and it's fantastic, so many little details!I spent hours watching this.

It’s still my favourite live album and probably my desert island Maiden disc.
Their best live album for me at least
It’s funny that everyone loves Rock in Rio so much given that it’s a spotlight show for Jannick, whereas Adrian barely has any solos. Still a great show, though.Their best live album for me at least
The atmosphere is unmatched in my opinion, the setlist was very creative at the time, everyone is in top form. There are so many little magical moments on that album.It’s funny that everyone loves Rock in Rio so much given that it’s a spotlight show for Jannick, whereas Adrian barely has any solos. Still a great show, though.
I like this album primarily for Bruce. He sounds like a beast on this album.It’s funny that everyone loves Rock in Rio so much given that it’s a spotlight show for Jannick, whereas Adrian barely has any solos. Still a great show, though.
Not nearly as bad as them miming along to TWM while a bored audience of teenagers stand still waiting for S Club 7 to show up.New video of Iron Maiden in Top Of The Pops UK (1995).
Adrian definitely compensates a ton with how much rhythm guitar stuff he does and how he's pretty high in the mix (on the DVD in particular where the entire center channel is just him, other than during the Trooper and TETMD solos where him and Janick are panned hard left and right). That drop D crunch in particular is majestic in Hallowed for example.It’s funny that everyone loves Rock in Rio so much given that it’s a spotlight show for Jannick, whereas Adrian barely has any solos.

Forever!Their best live album for me at least
Literally everything is top-notch about it (maybe without the stage set). Perfect concert, especially for Bruce(!). Adrian had 7 solos in the set (he doesn't have many solos on BNW album, unlike right away from the next albums), Janick had 10 solos. Trooper and Evil That Men Do are played together. Adrian's rhythm guitar (live fills and harmony) are essential for every concerts, no doubt about that.It’s funny that everyone loves Rock in Rio so much given that it’s a spotlight show for Jannick, whereas Adrian barely has any solos.

The whole song, every part of it - is one of the catchiest long pieces the band has written.Okay. So is the Fade out in Hell on Earth that catchy?! Cause I still can’t stop rewinding to that part after the songs ended. Just love love love it. Just has a very ominous and haunting feel to it.
Amen brotherForever!
