A REAL DEAD ONE

Old song, poor atmospheres, great farewell by Bruce Dickinson. And for the future big boubts. Since these words in 1993 I not was between the peoples that wept for this fact. But since I've also a true Metal Heart in those days my mind was not quite happy with what had happened. Sure I'm not surprise for Dickinson's departure? It's logical because with Maiden there was not magic. And a new part of Maiden story was open, a terrifying part of Maiden story for more persons. Not for me (but Blaze was a foreign body).

Logical that the two 1993 live albums are a good farewell for Bruce. But the fans did not seem to understand: no Bruce? No Maiden. And Paul Di Anno? Well? In 1993 Paul is the right Bruce substitute. Or maybe? For fans Bruce is the substitute of Bruce. Eh, no ... OK, but this really is a fundamentalist attitude (by Metallers).

If I speak about this live? I speak of a good album, not without magic at all. Certainly this live is a strange live. Bruce is already a foreign body already in this tour. But because these songs spoke and speak words in automatic logic was that no one noticed this important (and significant) done (another defects by Metallers).

These songs are part of my life, true. But insignificant is the fact that Bruce is already projected for a solo career? For me no, because I'm not a true metaller(!), so that for me these songs not have no magic in these versions. OK, all Maiden concerts are 'Sold Out' but I'm sincere the concert of Blaze era was not 'Sold Out' (OK, de gustibus?) and this is a fucking vice by Metallers to hate an intruder (later intruder is not) suffered to take.

So, this review is the result of reasoning that led me to move away from Heavy Metal, a world that struggles to understand. Also because the return of Bruce... Three guitarists... How sad... They should not bow to this. And sure 'Hallowed (is not) Be Thy Name'.
