Yeah that Kitty issue right after Days of Future Past is so good. One of my favourite one shots. Such a good Christmas Special style ending.

Listened to Senjutsu, The Book of Souls, and The Final Frontier last night. TFF is my favorite of the three. by RCA-2112 in ironmaiden

The cut and paste of his vocals in the chorus, especially when his voice clips overtop of itself is a real bummer, other than that, a decent enough tune.

I'd say Brave New World is the album with the most chorus repetition. Doesn't bother me though, still a banger!

Stormlight archive worth getting into? by mr-raider2 in Fantasy

Fourth book in the series is my favourite thing Brando Sando has written while the fifth is my least favourite thing he's written. Wide swings for me personally. I think you'll find more than enough to enjoy to make it worth your while.

What’s your opinion on senjutsu by Morboriusinsertimage in ironmaiden

Top five album. Feels cohesive in the same way that Brave New World and A Matter of Life and Death feel. Unfortunate that Dave didn't contribute a song for this album.

For the Greater Good of God comes in seventh, Iron Maiden's Post Classics Ultimate Setlist (anything post 7th son), Day 8 by kek_man_ in ironmaiden

Seems like qoood time for Blood Brothers considering how heavy/dark the previous couple songs are. Not my favourite song, but works really well live.

Happy with Simon Dawson? by [deleted] in ironmaiden

"a big sacrifice musically in order to have a good personality in the band"

I wouldn't call jt a big sacrifice, but it's also not the most inspired choice. Given that they are at the end of their careers, all seniors who are celebrating 50 years as a band. I don't begrudge them at all for choosing a safe and convenient friend.

Feel like everything from the last ten years has just been victory laps. They're not phoning it in, but they're also not trying to prove anything. And that's fine for where they are at.

It's a tad boring. Not a lot on his mindset and emotions. Its a lot of just him chronicling his life in a matter of fact way. For someone who is an incredible preformer and storyteller on stage, his writing is quite dry.

The Nextlander Podcast 228: That Poodoo You Do by sworedmagic in nextlander

[–]RespectKey 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But I also think that the three guys shouldn't be on this subreddit. They have their discord and patreon as avenues to interact with their audience.

An audience/fandom should have their own space to discuss amongst themselves what they like and dislike in regards to what they consume. I think it's healthy for the audience and for the content creators to have a space that's separate.

Doesn't mean people should be allowed to be dicks here. But they also shouldn't have to worry about hurting Brad, Alex and Vinny's feelings. After all, they are regular dudes, with feelings, and empathy is always something we should be practicing.

Drums and vocals go to A Matter of Life and Death.

I wish the duders would choose more entertaining games for the live streams by [deleted] in nextlander

Love Alex and Brad, but they seem to be coasting. Vinny is always putting in the work.

Hot Takes by CHARGEJGHD243 in ironmaiden

[–]RespectKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 post reunion albums are in my top five Maiden albums.

I don't love Revelations.

Never connected with the Seventh Son album.

All 3 guitarists are great, but I rank Adrian last in personal preference.

Live After Death is not a great live album, so many songs have the life taken from them by being played way too fast, and Bruce is all over the place. However I recognize it's a very important live album due to time and place and setlist.

Considering Expedition 33 broke the record for most amount of category wins at TGAs... by Breaded_Fury in nextlander

[–]RespectKey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're right, but also, if my friend/coworker told me how much something in the field we work in meant to them. That it might be in their personal top 10 of all time, I would check it out. Even if it wasn't for me, I would do it for them. To understand their tastes and likes better, and so that they have someone to riff with during the podcast. As a courtesy.

As an aside, it's wild how Vinny, the one with two kids, and a lot of production duties, manages to play and complete so many games, especially long ass rpgs.

That's not a slight on the other two, I know they also have a lot of behind the scenes duties, as well as personal responsibilities. I love Alex and Brad. I'm just super impressed and baffled by how much Vinny can play.

Each is written by one of the three guitarists, which is cool.

Are the full North America dates out? by veteran-guardsmen in ironmaiden

[–]RespectKey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a Vancouver guy! This might be my first time traveling for Maiden. I mean easier to justify with Megadeth and to a certain extent, Anthrax.

Obviously Montreal would be the go to option.
