What are your expectations for Simon Dawson going into the second leg of the tour? Do you think he’ll stick with the same overall approach and playing style, or could we see some changes (improvements)? I’m also curious whether his setup might evolve a bit, different cymbal choices, extra toms, more classic Maiden-inspired elements, or maybe something even more tailored to his own style. I think it’ll be really interesting to see how his confidence and chemistry with the band develops as the tour continues, especially with potential song changes. Expectations are definitely high, especially considering the live album recording in Paris later this summer, which could really push things to another level in terms of performance, precision, and overall energy.

What are you hoping for, or expecting?

So the access to bonus stuff that the label talks about was just a link to a (as far as I know) dead site online.

I know the game was kinda of crap, but I'd love to play it again for shits and grins, plus I'd love to check out the bonus content again. So yeah, does anyone know of any archives out there?

Saw Machine Head live in Glasgow last week and was pleasantly surprised to see them play their cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name, which I filmed a wee bit of. Rob Flynn started by praising Maiden and TNOTB album which was cool to see and the crowd went wild for the song.

Couldn't resist, I pre-ordered. Anyone else?

I’ve been practicing for a little bit now. I know it’s not the best but I’ve been working on it these last few weeks. I’ll probably make a new video soon. I’ve also been working on the solos

Good evening, everyone. I've been a huge Steve Fender fan since I started playing bass 10 years ago, and I even own the Japanese signature model. I've always had a big question about Steve's Precision bass: is the neck still the original one, or has it been replaced? The Fender logo was already considerably worn in the 80s and completely disappeared in the 90s, but the neck looks the same worn-out one as always. However, judging by Steve's excessive sweating on stage and all his usual movements, I can't believe the original neck hasn't broken or something like that yet. There's also the issue of the frets, which also wear out, even though he always used flat frets. I've never read anything about that. I know that the neck on Geddy's '72 Jazz Bass has been replaced at least twice.
