I've listened to the first 3 songs for the first time just now, this sounds like some of Maiden's best material!! A lot better than Final Frontier that's for sure.

Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger, Superunknown Rush: Signals, Grace Under Pressure Yes: Fragile, Close to the Edge Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy, Physical Grafitti Iron Maiden: Piece of Mind, Powerslave Genesis: Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound ELP: Trilogy, Brain Salady Surgery

They'll do a record and a string of 5-6 selected shows (NY, LA, maybe London) I think it could be 1.5 or 2 years before we hear anything though.

One of the best songs from Test for Echo. Only Resist is better

Jacob's Ladder or Natural Science Take your pick....

The Weapon would be my favorite. Nothing beats it. Although I do think Freeze is pretty underrated, it's just the weak lyrics that put me off.

Genesis - Trespass Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here Yes- Fragile

Bill Bruford Neil Peart Bill Ward Carl Palmer Phil Collins John Bonham

Geezer Butler Chris Squire Justin Chancellor Geddy Lee Steve Harris Roger Waters

Sorry to hear that, I'm dealing with the loss of my grandfather at the moment. It's tough but all you can really do is hang in there.

I love A Farewell to Kings, I think it is probably the best thing on the album aside from Xanadu and maybe Cygnus X-1. I would go as far as to herald it as the best 4-5 min 70's Rush song.

Distant Earl Warning Red Barchetta Subdivisions 2112 Natural Science (It could be longer though) Xanadu Tom Sawyer The Camera Eye Freewill Between the Wheels

One of the best songs from Counterparts, along with Animate and Leave That Thing Alone. The chorus is the best part, so powerful!
