I saw Maiden on the Ed Hunter tour and they/it sucked hard. Adrian didn't play at the Orpheum. His dad died or something and he didn't do the Boston show. If you enjoy listening to good OLD live Maiden, you will notice how "out of gas" they play now. Their so-called "fan chosen set list was full of shitty songs from Virtual XI. Bruce going "YEAHYEAHYEAH" to Junior's Farm, Imean, Angel and the Gambler. It was pathetic. When Futurereal is the best song they play, along with plodding versions of the Trooper and Run to the Hills played, seemingly, at half tempo, it really sucks. Don't get me wrong here, I was/am a worshipper at the altar of Harris, but it was a total rip-off and like 50 bucks, too. Like the Sabbath reunion, it's good to see old bands if you never got the chance when they were in their prime, but don't be expecting a Beast on the Road-like experience. See maiden if you want your favorite band to let you down. On the other hand, I'd go to see the "good" Anthrax line-up alone. People love to hate old Anthrax, but they were better than your band, whoever you are. On the subject of Sabbath Vocalists. No record touches Heaven and Hell. Die Young, LAdy Evil, Wishing Well??? Gillan singing with Tony is cool, but the Born Again songwriting was just SO weak. Headless Cross is pretty good, for a screwy Sabbath record. I like Tony Martin for that "hard rock" sabbath sound. Don't get me started, though. Nothing I love more than six degrees of Graham Bonnet.
