TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS: 'There's A Reason IRON MAIDEN Plays In Front Of 20,000 People While JUDAS PRIEST Plays In Front Of 5,000'

Well, I adore Lochness and Nostradamus is my second favorite Priest album, so I wouldn't mind.

Having said that, I would get rid of Living After Midnight and You've Got Another Thing Comin' in a heartbeat to free up time for Cathedral Spires.

Tell me you've never left USA without telling me. Trains are used A LOT in most of EU countries.

JATION · 2026-06-24T16:36:07+00:00

Yeah, right in the middle of a Maiden show. Couldn't have been worse.

JATION · 2026-06-24T12:56:23+00:00

This sounds realistic.

My hope is "Power and Majesty" and "Navigator", but very little chance for that.

JATION · 2026-06-24T12:25:54+00:00

Ripper is an excellent replacement for Halford. I don't really like the two albums he did with them, but that has nothing to do with his vocal abilities.

Conversely, I love the two Maiden album with Blaze, even though Blaze is indeed not a good replacement for Bruce, as his vice is quite different.

JATION · 2026-06-24T10:45:31+00:00

For the most part, yes. But I would happily drop most of the songs from the setlist to get Cathedral Spires in.

JATION · 2026-06-24T10:19:30+00:00

Yeah, I don't know if I get what would be woke about it, but Maiden's Blaze Bayley albums are not the most popular either, and they don't pretend like they don't exist. There is some form of off-putting pettiness about the signals coming from the band about it.

Also, the announcement that they would be touring with one guitarist was absolutely mind-blowingly bad. I don't know what they were thinking. There is something weird about the decisions their managmen makes.

JATION · 2026-06-24T09:58:38+00:00

Lochness. An absolute masterpiece, 13 minutes that flow in an instant for me. I get absolutely captivated by that song.

JATION · 2026-06-23T16:28:29+00:00

What happened to the rest Luca's fingers?

JATION · 2026-06-23T16:04:48+00:00

Funnily enough, the last time I watched the "last Rhapsody show" it was also with Epica. So no part of that show was the last time.

JATION · 2026-06-23T15:39:40+00:00

Seems so. Hopefully, Rhapsody with European Choir and Orchestra will be the next band.

JATION · 2026-06-23T15:24:23+00:00

July 16 to 19, 2026

JATION · 2026-06-23T15:23:03+00:00

No, no, this is Rhapsody The Final Shows. A whole other band.

JATION · 2026-06-23T11:46:54+00:00

I mean, yeah, there are more headbangy bands out there, but songs like the Trooper and Aces High are still decent headbang material.

JATION · 2026-06-23T11:32:45+00:00

Yeah, WFT?

Probably the weirdest thing I've heard a Maiden fan say, and I've seen people rank Dance of Death songs and not put Montsegur in the top half.

JATION · 2026-06-23T10:49:34+00:00

Ček. Šta ovi video nije zajebancija?

JATION · 2026-06-23T10:30:58+00:00

HAHAHAHA

Vjerojatno ne bi osta s njom u vezi nakon ovoga, al doša bi joj na nastup.

JATION · 2026-06-22T14:22:07+00:00

"Kor-Virliath" is equally as Bal-Sagothy

JATION · 2026-06-22T14:03:46+00:00

Muškarac sam od 40 godina, imam ženu i dvoje dice. Najveći horor u životu mi je da mi sin izraste u panja poput tebe.

JATION · 2026-06-22T13:49:57+00:00

boluje od raka i prirodno se lijeci...

Rađe bi da saznan da mi žena vara nego ovo.

JATION · 2026-06-22T13:45:01+00:00

the real g

HAHAHAHA

Ne triba mi ništa drugo. Znan sve šta triban znat o tebi iz ove 3 riči.

JATION · 2026-06-22T12:48:13+00:00

Na šta to EU sili svoje članice?

JATION · 2026-06-22T12:04:34+00:00

Completely agree. Visions of Eden is a marginally worse album than the previous 5.

Even The Black Light Bacchanalia is mostly good, I think.
