At this point even a rock solid triple album would only just about redeem Axl's artistic credibility. Saying that, I wouldn't put it past him to have 30 or more good songs ready to go. We'll probably never get to hear them in his lifetime though! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably make me buy the new album! Artwork is excellent, I agree. Some of their covers veer into 'naff' I think, but this one is great. Yeah mate - really don’t like it. Brave New World is brilliant and AMOLAD was great too but Dance Of Death and the other post-reunion albums have a couple of good/great tunes but mostly are boring to me. The Book Of Souls title track is brilliant but it’s the only one I liked on the whole thing! They are still an excellent live band and get respect for being a creative entity (most fans seem to love what they do now so I’m in the minority it seems 🤣).

Brave New World was actually the last one I bought - I've sort of dropped off them a bit since then, and just bought a couple of the live ones. I was going to ask your thoughts on which album to get of the ones after that to catch up a bit, but you've sort of answered that with AMOLAD! Yeah, they really have to be admired for their ability to continually push forward while maintaining a great fanbase all across the world. Rock In Rio is still me 'go to' DVD after a few drinks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMOLAD was a rarity in that they played the album in full on that tour - ballsy and showed how much they really believed in that album. A few long tracks on there but the different between that and most of the other reunion era stuff is that it doesn’t feel like it’s too long a song. Talking about it has made me realise I haven’t listened to AMOLAD in a while…..I’m gonna bust that out over the weekend. 👍 And agreed re Rock In Rio….great live show. Sign Of The Cross is quality on there. Edited July 22, 2021 by DTJ80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) This thread is about a new GN'R record fellas... And we all know there's a lot to talk about in that regard. Someone needs to leak CD2 already. If we had the entire CD era vault, with Bucket's magic, my life would be nearly complete from a musical standpoint.

So they have held it for a while before releasing - all part of the Covid strategy as Bruce puts it. So for those folk who still think an album could be released/has been recorded but held back etc….here is an example of a major band recording and keeping it (most folk knew they were working on it but early 2019 is a surprise to most folk). The new Maiden single is terrible but the album art is absolutely awesome. wow loved the single. weak vocal performance and mix but hell, great tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Kevin Shirley's production has two features: 1.Murky sound 2.Bruce vocals buried in background He completely sucks and it's embarrassing that Maiden was releasing better sounding albums in the early 1980s than the 2020s. I get that Martin Birch is gone but surely they can get someone better? Just pick a random homeless crack addict off the street, they'll do a better job than Shirley.

Was aware it had been a few pages since somebody had made mention of a multi disc release. In an age where physical sales are really low. And most bands have reverted back to a standard 40 minute length album. But I think we are all in total agreement on this point that GNR would buck that trend. Personally I favour a quintuple album as they are generally really really good value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally played on a handful of CD tracks and was in GNR for 2 or 3 years. And there's boys creaming their pants over the collaboration! 😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one often hears of the plethora of bands releasing successful triple albums these days which gives me real hope that you're right! An overlooked format the triple album. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing priest has come out with for decades. Amazing production, songwriting and execution. Better than any post-reunion Maiden album and I really like them. And Book of Souls is really solid. Could be a bit shorter and more to the point but a strong record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see some different musical experiences than a vocally worse show I already saw back in 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
