I got Iron Maiden's new live album, Death on the Road. It kicks ass, as expected. I can't wait for the DVD next month.
I know some people will get up on their ass about them releasing another live album, but my philosophy is, if you don't like it, don't buy. I didn't buy Edward the Great or The Essential Iron Maiden, but I will buy live releases because I love live recordings.
I especially don't see why people could complain when so many Iron Maiden bootlegs are available. I have several soundboard or FM audio recordings and pro-shot videos. It would be hypocritical to collect these and not buy the official live recordings. The Early Years was fucking awesome and I can't wait for the next volume. Hopefully that either includes Live After Death and Maiden England or else they re-release those on their own. (And yes, I do have DVD+R copies of them.) I also wouldn't be opposed to an official DVD from the Early Years tour, as that setlist was unbeatable. (And yes, I do have the pro-shot bootlegs from that tour as well.)
My only "complaint" would be the setlist on DOTR resembles the Rock in Rio setlist a little too much. 8 of the 16 songs were on RiR. Hopefully next tour they can spice up the setlist a little bit. Play "Still Life" damnit!!!
