Re: Iron Maiden - Gotta say I’m more of an old school Maiden fan (still think their debut album with Di’Anno on vocals is their best work), although I must admit I enjoyed most of their work up to 85, I think that was the height of Smith and Harris’ work.

I was also pleased to see it when Dickinson and Smith rejoined the band in 2000 and they returned to Brazil to headlined Rock in Rio again. Found this clip from the 2001 Rock in Rio, I get shivers down my spine every time I hear this intro, 250,000 Brazilians singing a guitar melody in unison, the South American’s sure love their metal

Was having a discussion with a fellow the other day regarding rack mounted rigs (I think he was trying to get me to sell him my old VHT power amp) and he was ranting and raving about the new pre-amp/effects processor he just purchased by Fractal (Axe FX II), looks like a whole bunch of artists have jumped on board with endorsements (Vai, Petrucci, and Dweezil Zappa just to name a few). Anyway when trying to find me an example of what it could do we came across these video’s apparently done by a guitar teacher which I think are pretty cool so I thought I might share

Yes, a guy I jammed with a while back was telling me about his Fractal rig the other day. He swears by it. But truthfully, he never had a great ear for tone in my opinion. Can't beat a real valve amplifier in my opinion.

More importantly, perhaps a minutes silence to mourn the passing of the great John Lord of Deep Purple fame.

RIP,John Lord wrote and performed the organ riff in one of the greatest songs of all-time,Child In Time.His keyboard skills can only be compared (to some extent) with The Doors' Ray Manzarek.Child In Time is one of only three songs EVER that managed to wet my eyes whenever I hear them (in a positive way).In his honor,10 minutes of pure pleasure

Paul Di'Anno is a great vocal,it's his alcoholism that got him fired from the band.Blaze Bayley wasn't bad either,his vocals in songs like Futureal,Virus,The Clansman,The sign of the cross etc. are mind-blowing,it was the poor sales of "The X factor" and "Virtual XI" that got him fired.In my opinion,their best albums include (Killers and Iron Maiden are there by default) Powerslave,Somewhere in time,Seventh son of a seventh son and Fear of the dark.

Risto, are you going to the Adelaide Guitar Festival...?

Risto the Great · 07-21-2012, 02:42 AM

One of the guys I used to play out with puts on a show at the guitar festival. I have been promising to go for a couple of years now. If you come, it will be my pleasure to show you around.

Thanks for the invite brother, probably not this year but maybe next...?
Looking through the program, it looks like a great event.
