      As long as maiden don’t play new material

      As much as fans would like it such a tour involving Maiden unlikely to happen. When Maiden cease releasing new material they wont want to feel like a band just living off past glories. And they are rich enough to feel like that. The two most dominant members are also Bruce and Steve and they will probably focus on their solo stuff and British Lion material respectively.

    Always say the same. Which is my favourite album...its the one I've got on at the time! Ya know sometimes you're not in the mood for for straight up heavy rock then you put on Innocence or Destiny. Melodic Rock. No other band would dare even attempt it. Totally pulled it off . Masterpieces !!!!

    Awesome interview with Biff! I've been a Saxon fan since Wheels of Steel.
    Saw them live for the first time in the early 80s at The Whisky in Hollywood.
    They brought out what seemed like their full concert gear. A huge wall of Marshall stacks and it was LOUD! Great show in such a small place...
    Interesting opening act...a very young Metallica. This was before they left Los Angeles for Northern California. We thought that they were good...really fast , but good.
    History tells the rest of the story...\m/

    So i was at the Cardiff gig last November and biff signed my battle jacket that i threw onstage(on you tube) Takes pride of place in my crib..As for the New replacement for Paul it happens to be and confirmed by Saxon themselves as the superb Brian Tatler of Diamond Head.

    cool interview,yes,saxon has a new crowd/following,being a fan of the early line up,early albums,i like many uk metal fans,started losing interest around innocence is no excuse album,seemed to have slipped down the ladder,playing venues that they probably started in,then the silly harvey goldsmith thing,but i copped a listen to some of the more recent stuff,watched a couple of gigs on youtube,which renewed my interest,to me they are still one of the best metal bands around,still good on record and live,and thankfully back to playing gigs/venues that they deserve to play,great that some of the older bands,saxon/priest etc are still releasing stuff,that shows the youngsters how it should be done

      I mean aside from some excessively tight pants, it's an 80s "live" music video. No it's not great, but it probably had a really low budget.
      If you mean the lyrics, lots of bands have songs about their musical community. Is it the most mind blowing deep stuff, no.

  • @SCOTTHOWITT1

    How the mighty have fallen, this album is crap ! Absolutely no identity, the production is amateurish, nothing wrong with the songs selected but these versions are poorly covered ! Time to call it a day !!
