“We paid $30,000 to get bullied like we were in high school!” Trivium were asked to egg Iron Maiden at Ozzfest 2005. They declined and started wearing Iron Maiden shirts onstage

A feud between the Osbournes and Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson came to a head during Ozzfest 2005. Trivium, who paid 30 grand to join the tour, steered clear and started supporting their heavy metal heroes

The bad blood towards Trivium seemingly extended for years, to the point that the band were only “recently” given a very conditional offer to return to the travelling festival. “We were actually told recently if we apologised we’d be allowed to do the tour again someday,” says Heafy.

Wow :facepalm: Just because they did not throw eggs and decided to support Maiden? Some people really need to grow up...

Interesting read btw!
 
2025 calendar. The grouping of some albums is appropriate, given their approaches and ofc the latest album should be ''alone''.

edit: and ofc IM/Killers Eddie will always be the most iconic one.

TBOS would fit better with Senjutsu, but as you said it makes sense for the latter to be represented by itself.
 
Been slowly going through older bootlegs to see what's worth keeping and what isn't and I'm currently listening to the Milwaukee show where they played a festival in 1981. Some neat moments here and there, but their nerves can be heard throughout the show. Multiple mistakes heard on various songs. The transition to the slow solo section in Phantom (around 48:45-ish) almost fell apart. The chorus in Iron Maiden (54:20-ish) had multiple mistakes and a lot of confusion from multiple members. Innocend Exile has both guitarists play the right notes at the wrong time at various points (for example, the lead guitar plays these little three note patterns. Here the first pattern was skipped by mistake and the second was played twice instead. Later the rhythm guitar plays the second power chord twice, instead of alternating. Stuff like that).

It's pretty interesting, considering how polished Maiden usually is live (insert "Bruce can't hear himself on the current tour" joke).


(Sorry if this is the wrong thread, do we have a more general Maiden discussion topic?)
 
this is an old interview from 2020 but posted recently. some guitar talk, some gary moore praise... his comments about martin birch... adrian says martin birch never was into arranging songs. and they talk about the writing of twilight zone... he wrote the harmonies (but he is not credited?) another thing is, interviewer says road to hell's solo is too similar to wicker man's solo and adrian doesnt deny this.

though I couldn't listen to it in full, it's an interesting interview.
