Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

It IS awful, but I tried to cut it so it's clear I'm goofing around. There was a member who made short versions of 'too-long songs' so it was in response to him, I forget who it was

I'm clearly infringing copyright, they'll probably take it down soon again

 

[Edington]

Thanks man, that was really something

(I actually think the instrumental section between the solos benefited from being shortened)

Well, that was disturbing.

I love when Maiden have a bit of tongue in cheek humour. I especially love it when the angry looking guys are triggered by it. It's usually the same people who listen to gimps in corpse paint, having an irony bypass.

Yep, and I like to see them enjoy themselves on stage. I cannot wait until they bring this show to the USA.

 

[Magnus]

Well, that was disturbing.

A little bit too long, I agree.

 

[Forostar]

Please do this with The Red and the Black @frus. Especially shorten the stuff from 4:58 til the end.

Haha that's how I imagine these 'short versions' must sound like

Sure, I don't expect it to last more than 2 minutes

"The Red and the Black" could be longer.

Yes. I even planned to edit the songs of BOS to a more sensible length. Cutting away repeated guitar themes and other unnecessary parts and solos.

There's a dedicated thread for this sort of thing ...

I wonder how much you'd shorten Isle of Avalon or Starblind by doing something like that. Just removing all the guitar solos would put a huge dent on both.

To Steve Harris a song is much more than a poem set to a tune. The long instrumental sections are an important part of the whole composition, and were one of the first things to really impress me when I first started listening to Maiden. One of the things that sets Maiden apart, and makes them a bit special.

That could be extended to, I think, all Maiden members (probably with the exception of Nicko, whose songwriting contributions are fairly limited).

I have always found all these attempts at editing someone else's artistic work quite amusing. What next? The Gioconda wearing a red robe because that is your favourite colour? Making the Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch smaller because you do not like some of the funny characters that he painted?

Any chance we could add a "dislike" button to this forum? Hah

Guilty as charged
