Mick He's been with them for 33 years now. I figured everyone had moved past the whole get rid of Gers thing at this point. His total time with the band is almost the same as Adrian's.

The Analog Cub Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Nicko sounds absolutely fried. I think he's running out of gas. Bruce on the other hand sounds better than he did on the last tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 71 so he might need a little more time to hit his groove on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 On 5/28/2023 at 10:08 PM, J2112YYZ said: For so many years they said they never played it because Adrian couldn't remember something he did in the solo. I guess he finally remembered or they figured out a way around it. It's the galloping bit before Adrian's solo. He switched it around a bit, and I think he's playing that part one octave higher. Also...I did see the footage of them playing that song with Gers not appearing in it. Whenever he plays a solo from the classic period he messes it up - most notably Moonchild and Revelations. I'm really glad he kept his hands off the Somewhere in Time material, except for Heaven Can Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I like Gers in terms of his musical playing. Keep him. Just get him to stop the showboating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough it was listening to Maiden's debut album that got me hooked on that style of music and pointed me in the direction of Rush, so I've a lot to thank them for 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Saw Maiden tonight in Toronto and they KICKED ASS!!! Alex Lifeson was in attendance. As soon as it finished, I went to the Loose Moose pub downtown, and the cover band "Maiden Canada" played a great set with deep cuts like Be Quick or Be Dead, Prowler, Futureal, Remember Tomorrow...you might recognize their guitar player, it's Nico from the YouTube channel Licks of the Beast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure/Hopenosis Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 7 hours ago, grep said: Maiden and Metallica both have grown into prog tendencies . Both bands forgot how to focus on strong songwriting. I'm all for prog leaning tunes but trim the length and get back to bridge, chorus (some kind of hook) for f**k sake! Songs are now long and absolutely none are memorable. Great riffs all over but nothing in a cohesive song structure that makes it stick in your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a review of Piece of Mind from, I think, Kerrang, at the time that said that Where Eagles Dare illustrated what was wrong with Maiden. As someone who discovered them with Killers, I think they slowly drifted from what made me a fan. I’m sure part of that is age (I was 16 or 17 when Powerslave was released). There are songs on all of their albums, except the Bailey era, I enjoy. But if I never listened to anything after 7th son again, it wouldn’t affect my life at all. If Brave New World is someone’s favorite Maiden album, God bless them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
