I've been a fan of Iron Maiden for 31 years, started listening to them when I was 10. I finally got a chance to see them live this past June and it was amazing. The highlight of the evening was during Fear of the Dark, when Janick is standing center stage and looks right at me, points and then scruffs his chin acknowledging my huge beard.

Saw them in concert back when Powerslave came out. Was epic.

Saw a recent concert recording and I have to ask: who is that third superfluous guitarist they pulled out of nowhere?

Janick Gers. He replaced Adrien when he left Iron Maiden, they kept him along after Adrien came back. He's fun to watch live with all his guitar flipping and prancing. His dad's name is Boleslaw lmao

I keep hoping they'll bring Blaze Bayley back for some anniversary show, so more people can throw beer cans at him.

I was supposed to see Iron Maiden with Anthrax opening in 1991 and Bruce Dickinson ended up getting some throat malady so they cancelled that part of the tour. I was loving crushed. I never did get to see them live and now I feel like I missed out on the prime years.

They are still good as hell live. I saw them for the first time last year and it was amazing. Even after the tongue or throat cancer, Bruce can still sing. It's a little rough, but he can still belt them out. They guys are old, but they put on one heck of a show. They are doing a new Best of the Beast tour starting in Europe later this year and I'd imagine they'd bring it stateside in 2019.

At some point in your guitar learning journey, it'll become inevitable to start seeing your right hand as a metronome, moving up and down with the beats. If you choose the first option now, you'll be a way better guitarist way faster.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

I saw them on their somewhere back in time tour a few years ago, which was awesome as hell. Just hit after hit. Bruce is one of the most charismatic frontmen in all of metal, the dudes enthusiasm is infectious.

I think somewhere in time is my favorite album of theirs, they started using synths more I think which gives it a proggy feel

Final Frontier is solid. Book of Souls is good but a little bloated. Like, it didn't *need* to be a double album but at this point, what producer is going to argue with them?

I was at fourth night (added show) Long Beach Arena on the Powerslave tour. Much of that show can be found on "Live After Death".

I know I'm old. Go ahead and remind me. I also saw them in San Bernardino on the "Final Frontier" tour. Great loving band!

...really? i mean i'm sure i would because like i said it's faster and requires more control but honestly i've played classical piano pretty seriously for almost three decades so i've got a pretty good innate sense of time and have never thought "this would be way easier if i was keeping time with my picking hand regardless of what's being played"
