And October 14th at The Royal in Salt Lake City, I see :cool: Yes!!! The time has come to close your eyes, and still the wind and rain

Ha-ha ... Girls Gone Wild!

I was sorry to have missed the show in Salt Lake City late last year, but made it to the one the other night in Draper. It was a blast, as always, and just wanted to say thank YOU! Another sell out show :kickass: I loved the set list. It had a nice dose of Paul Dianno era stuff, and that...

I didn't see this until today, but it's interesting how "If Eternity Should Fail" was actually written by Bruce for his new solo album. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/iron-maidens-bruce-dickinson-has-demoed-six-songs-for-solo-concept-album/ My first impression was that it seemed out of...

I love Bruce's ending to this song, and think they should have opened the album with it, instead of "If Eternity Should Fail". My track pick at this stage is "The Red and the Black". Cool intro/outro and full of great riffing. The guitar solos throughout the album are the most inspired...

The drums in the first 15 seconds of that song are worth the price of admission alone. I still have my cassette of Somewhere in Time from '86. Even better, my friend back then had the vinyl - spent quite a while looking at that cover.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I finally realized that while the Maidens have always had the rock solid bass and drums locked in with the great Wanda Ortiz and Linda McBurrain, the guitar positions are in flex. And that's okay - they're all really good, and it's like they never burn...

Sun and Steel Rime of the Ancient Mariner I actually have no idea, but like those, and am always looking for a good excuse to post a high def "Live After Death" clip. Don't forget the fog machines

That ascending vocal in "Where Eagles Dare" is amazing. Personally, I won't be attempting that one! I remember that Maiden used to open with that song while touring on Piece of Mind. Well, it definitely felt like something special, and I consider myself lucky to have caught the show...

Cool ... and speaking of Venom, that cover of "Warhead" the Melvins put out earlier this year really kicks ass:

That was definitely a good time. I can't believe you out-lasted me on the first "running low" vocal on "Hallowed Be Thy Name". I was trying my best to hang with you, but ran out of air about a second before you took a breath! Have you ever passed out while singing that one? It's gotta be one...

I like the new Clutch album Earth Rocker and most of the new QOTSA (especially after it grew on me a while). I have been itching for a new Mastodon album, and they're about due; it's been almost two years since The Hunter. That one made them one of my favorite contemporary metal bands. That...

Thanks for coming back to Utah, and blazing up Kamikazes - great show last night! I am the guy who was wearing the Sabbath t-shirt, and talked to you at the merch' table at the end. Linda - I was thinking more about it, and it was 8 or 9 years ago that I saw you last, at Liquid Joe's. You had...
