Who are you and why are you posting on my friend Trev's account ?!?!??!?!?!?!?tay666 wrote:Yeah. Just a little over 2 months.
It's been over 10 years since I have seen them.
Yeah - it sucks.tay666 wrote: . . . It's not like they come around every year or two anymore.
Hell, it's been three and a half years since I have been to a show, thanks to covid.
Did not know that! (would have guessed at it being KISS, Bon Jovi, Van Halen or another US band).tay666 wrote:Oh, and I came here to impart a little knowledge that I just learned.
Apparently, Iron Maiden was the first metal video played on MTV 41 years ago . . .
Well, I didn't quite make it until October.tay666 wrote:I'm going to try to not spoil i for myself.
Gonna try to make it until October without listening to any of the live tracks.
They did the Rock in Rio 2022 show on Sat 2nd Sept, and BW&BK put up links to pro & fan-filmed stuff the following day https://bravewords.com/news/iron-maiden ... -streamingtay666 wrote: . . . Going in blind, I have had no clue how the band sounds, how Bruce's voice has been doing, or any of it. I know a lot of people online have been complaining that his voice is shot, that he's lost it . . . Bruce sounded fine to me. Yeah, he doesn't have the range he once did. He also doesn't have quite as long of a sustain either, but he is 64. He still hit the high notes, sang most of the lyrics (let the crowd do some chorus stuff), and most importantly, he still had his full stage presence . . .
Hope it goes well tomorrow bud - safe trip there & back - and damn good fun duringtay666 wrote: . . . I am getting stoked for the show in 24 more days!

I've only ever been at ONE gig (over a period of 44 years) where that was not the case - one obnoxious prat & I had a "deep meaningful discussion" about his attitude at one of the UK festivalstay666 wrote: . . . Everyone was friendly and there to just have a good time. I was headbanging with, singing with, and high-fiving people all night long . . .
As you are aware - I friggin' ADORE that album, and the YouTube vids I've seen of the opening songs were great (with the exception of Bruce's voice).tay666 wrote: . . . The setlist. Very slow in the beginning. 3 songs in a row from Senjutsu. Three that I like, and still it was kind of meh. They just aren't exciting, sing-along type songs . . .
