 And here we are on the metal voice, you know, we're going all the way to Ireland, we're going all the way to Scotland came and my favorite Scotsman and aiming my favorite Irishman guys what is going on. Good day to you and fair Canada there. All right, what are we going to do today? Okay, yesterday me and Jaws we spoke about the new single by Bruce Dickinson. Today I wanted to get dive a little more deeper into the song. There has been some new details that have been released from yesterday. There's a release date actually there's a track listing. There's a lot of fan comments that I want to talk to you guys about and get your perspective on this. I'm pretty shocked at some of the comments, but we'll get into that. So details, fan comments and let's just take apart the song and what you guys thought of it because I know you guys are made in fanatics. Amen, maybe more of a perspective from a musical standpoint and came in more of a perspective from a, I don't know made in Bruce Dickinson fanatic perspective so we'll start things off. Guys, overall just quickly, you know, amen tell me overall, you know you heard it for the first time. What do you think? My first thought when I first saw that video and he quoted William Blake and then you throw in the fact it's a concept piece the Mandrake project was, oh my God, we got to follow up to the chemical wedding. Obviously, we had tourney of souls in between times but chemical wedding I think most fans will agree of Bruce's solar work was his high point. And to me straight away was like, this is exciting. This is a really exciting project. And yeah, as you said briefly, really loved the song and the more I'm listening to it, the more I'm enjoying it. All right, came in briefly. Let's just start things off. First impression, you know. I was just like, like even said about the volume break quote that made me smile because he's he's always pro volume volume break. I really liked it. I think I was expecting considering it's been such a long time. It's been nearly 20 years since since his last album since turning so I was kind of open for a continuation of of that. Something a bit more in your face a bit more bombastic and this this is a lot more kind of a darker and it's slower and there's a lot more going on than just as it comes across at first, you know, it's there's a lot going on. And I think it's quite muddy. Some in some ways like Bruce's vocals are not the focus or the main show it's all the elements of the keys are there. The guitar is obviously driving the song, but it's not really so in your face. And I think that's kind of what I was hoping for. I was really wanting more more more dramatic, I suppose. Oh my God, I think it was very dramatic. Okay, we'll pause right there. Amen. All right, I'll talk to you about this before I go. I was really having trouble understanding the tuning and just we're going to give very high level you're not going to get to technical here. I go is this like a minor key song? Is it switching from a major to a minor? Is this standard tuning? Just quickly explain the sort of the song sort of song structure from a musicals perspective so far that you can hear. Okay, so chemical wedding they famously tuned down. I thought it was drop D they never went even further, which is where you take your standard tuning as an E and you drop that down to notes and it gives you a heavier sound. I sat down with my acoustic guitar to learn this and I immediately went to D and then hit the note was like that's totally wrong. It's actually tuned to B. So that's going way, way, way, way down. So the obvious thing then to me was like, it's not tuned down. It's a seven string guitar he's using. Alla, Steve Vai, Korn, those guys made famous the seven string. So that's where you get that really low that chugging that chuggy riff comes from a B. So I believe that's a standard tune guitar the entire way throughout but he's chugging on a B there on a seven string. Fascinating. So yeah, because the chorus is just to me that's just a B minor and a an F sharp minor and an E so you don't have to tune down or whatever for that so it sounds like you're using a seven string which gives it that really dark heavy chugging sound so arguably heavier than chemical wedding. Let's see what the other musicians think about that comment. I think that's a very fascinating comment right there. Thank you very much. Amen. Kamen, when you compare this song to other Bruce's solo material, what song do you connect with? You say this new song sounds like this song from Bruce's catalogue of his solo material. There's a lot of elements of Trumpets of Jericho of Chemical Wedding and the Book of Thel which is kind of like the centerpiece of that where we're a really big song off that album. I think thematically it's also got a lot in common with Tears of the Dragon as well. The whole song is kind of about we've been through turmoil at the end of the world and I'm back. I'm here with you all. I mean it's all from this perspective of this is what I've been through and here I am again and you're with me and you can take what you want from it and that I'm rising with the shadows and I'm coming out of the night and I'm the sun. It's all these elements, nature. This is the kind of stuff Bruce writes about on Accident of Birth as well, Dark Side of Aquarius, all these kind of... So thematically and musically you're saying, right? So the two together, right? So the theme of this afterglow of Ragnarok sounds similar to these songs thematically and musically. We were talking about this yesterday, riff based sort of chugging along, right? That side of Aquarius has that exact same kind of chugging riff, noisy elements to it. I think it does a really good and it also has that kind of doomy feel of believable and stuff of turning their souls. There's that creeping darkness to, you know, contrasted with the the big anthemic choruses like on Tears of the Dragon. Amen, vocally. When you're listening to this song versus let's say another a maiden song or the way Bruce sings his maiden work versus he's singing this song, what would you say is different and maybe the same? Well, before I talk about that, I just want to pick up on something you were both saying about musically being, you know, thematically. I think you're all right. You're right. It's all about Roy Z. You know, it's the Roy Z sound and that meshes with Bruce Dickinson as it has done since not even balls to guess it really since Accident of Birth. So now we'll have four albums where it's identifiable as Bruce Dickinson. Very different. It's all downtuned. And like, that's one great thing I would say about Bruce's solo career since Accident of Birth is, you know, it's him. Like the first album was kind of classic Rocky. The second one was all over the place. Third one Skunkworks amazing album, but totally different again. So now, yeah. This song is a combination of all these guys right here. Definitely found his signature sound. Yeah, so to answer your question and vocally, I think it's what the first thing I will say is about the production. There's much more production to the album. Look, to answer your question about what's the sound like compared to made and stuff. It's Bruce. He's given it as all he's singing like totally from the chest and given it as full. I find and I'm going to throw this at you. I find on the bridge, he's kind of doing that operatic made and stuff. Whereas on the verse and the chorus, it's Bruce Dickinson solo, sort of just, you know, it could have been you two bono singing those verses and that chorus, right? I mean, it's a big chorus. You would never get that kind of bright. It's such an optimistic chorus. You would never get that dynamic. It's upbeat. The chorus is really like positive in a way that made and made and have that kind of uplift, but there's a real contrast between it being like a balls out metal riff into that chorus. I think that's the most interesting part of the whole song. Yeah, it is. It is uplifting musically, but I think I think vocally, the most interesting thing for me is the production of the vocals. You've got a lot of atmosphere going on. There's reverb on there. The vocals are layered as well. Now, that's not to say that that kind of thing doesn't happen on Maiden, but Maiden, it's recorded a lot drier. They obviously jam together and they do it. I like that. The production of a lot drier from Caveman versus Roy Z, right? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think Roy's obviously a different producer. And I love that. Like, you know, like I'm old school, I love the sound of those Morton Burch albums. You know, I like a bit of reverb on there, a bit of atmosphere. And I think it does, it differentiates it from the Maiden stuff as well. But I think vocally, like Bruce is, he's just incredible no matter what he does. To me, the bridge could have been a Maiden song, but the verse could have been a U2 song. I don't know. I don't want people to freak out on that, but I'm just trying to say a very big, dynamic sort of chorus, right? And that note that he hits, it's not one of those falsetto notes that Rob Halford hits. It's a big note. It's just this great, he chose the right note there. Yeah. Okay. Caveman, this is for you now, production-wise. People have been complaining on YouTube. There's a version on YouTube. It feels compressed and a lot of hissing. You have the album. Show us the album. I have the single. The single, yeah. Yeah, okay. Show us that first. I got it this morning. Okay, open it up. There it is. What do we got? I'm going to put it on the back with the Affirmation Fail demo as well. And so, I can just show you a wee bit. Nice. Beautiful. You know what? We should all get a copy just for doing this video, this unveiling. So there's that too. I did say it came with a comic, but the comic pages are full, double-sided, and they're built into the single. Take out the album. Let's see this. Single EP or whatever they want to call it today. We'll talk about the demo afterwards, okay? I'm not aiming if you heard the demo or not. Wow, look at that. Let's open her up. Cracker open there, buddy. Open her up, or maybe you don't want to open it up because... Oh, look at this. Oh boy. Bring out the Iron Maiden Kleenex here. Okay, here we go. If eternity should fail, the demo? Yep. That because, and just so everybody knows, if eternity would fail, that was originally supposed to be on Bruce Dickinson's solo album, but it was on Bruce's solo. The album was originally supposed to be called if eternity should fail. And then Steve Harris heard the demo and wanted it for Maiden. That's mine. That's mine. We just took it to Steve and Steve said, oh, that'd be great for Maiden. And then they re-recorded it as Maiden. All right. So tell me about, well, we're going to talk about the demo after. Tell me about the production. Okay, a lot of complaints, like I mentioned on YouTube saying, ah man, there's a lot of hits. I can't hear the vocals. I can't hear the mix. The mix is bad. Is this a YouTube compression issue or the vinyl when you put it on, you're saying, ah, this is a great production. Well, I would say, you know, YouTube is famous for compressing the audio. You do get a sense of it feeling compacted. Actually, the original version that went up online wasn't even the full song on YouTube. So buying the actual official single, it's gorgeous. They've put a lot of effort into the product, promoting the album, promoting the story ahead. Bruce has obviously worked a lot with different artists and comic writers to produce this. It's well worth, I think it was £12 or something. So bottom line is, is there an uptick in sound? Is it a much better sound? You're always going to get listening to the vinyl. When you put a vinyl on, that's what you're doing. You're actively listening to the vinyl, you know. So yeah, there's a difference between the compression that you hear when you're streaming a song digitally versus physically hearing the song. And that you're listening to on your turntable. Yeah, there's a difference. Ultimately, the recording and the master is still the same. You know what I mean? It's not drastically different. But yeah, you can hear the fact that it is compressed and it is muddied. But those problems, if you feel like the mix is bad, for example, Roy Z recorded all the bass for this album. You can't really hear the bass, I would say, on Afterglow of Ragnarok. The bass isn't a strong component of the song because of that low-end guitar. You're not getting a lot of physical bass, like say you would from Steve Harris or Rex Brown or somebody. You don't physically get a lot of bass in that song. I would say that's a big criticism. So how about this? Let's summarize this. What percentage better is it, the vinyl versus the YouTube version? Give me a percentage. 20% better, 10% better? No, it just depends on how you feel about these things. If you don't care about production, you don't care about sound, you just want to hear the song, then you'll be happy with YouTube. If you actively want to hear the parts and the elements that make up the song, then physically buy the records. So you're saying a 20% increase in quality for those audiophile people. That's 60%. Oh my lord. Amen. Did you see the video? It certainly did, yeah. Let's talk about this video. Now I'm getting a lot of comments there. Let me pull out some comments and you could respond to these comments. Christian says, new music is better appreciated without watching a video. Is it quite a distraction, like a foreign movie with subtitles? I've been seeing a lot of comments that the video is kind of cheesy. I love the song with the video is kind of cheesy. What are your thoughts? To me, Bruce is giving his all. Not only is he creating a comic book and he's got a concept, but he's putting his effort into creating some sort of context of a conceptual idea. Okay, it's not Steven Spielberg, it's not Star Wars, but man, this guy, I don't know, man, he's going on. It's all passion. What do you think about the video? It's hard to know. I don't know if any of you have watched the chemical wedding movie. It's terrible. We can talk about that after. I bought it and watched it once. I can't remember anything about it. Yeah, like he, look, the man throws his weight behind what he does and turns it into a passion. That's right. Whether or not we get it, that's debatable. I don't know, a point on the video, I suppose, the last time that something like this happened was when we all saw the video for the writing on the wall with Maiden. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I still love that video and I still think it's integral part of it. With this, I suppose he's introducing the entire concept and it's been introduced slowly. So there's guesswork going on and we're only getting a snippet of the story. Look, I don't read too much on that. I watched the video and they go, yeah, it's more about the music for me, but the video is not going to bother me too much either way, to be honest with you. Did you like it? Did you like it though? It was fine, you know. It has take on me. I don't know if it's going to be up there, but yeah, enjoy it. Yeah, it was great. Go ahead, go ahead. This is nothing new for Bruce. If you look at the video for killing floor, you look at the video for shoot all the clowns. He's always having fun. He likes to get in about it and dress up and have ideas and get covered in gunk and hire people to get dressed up as cyberpunk. Sith, Star Wars, Sith Lords. Doctor Who. I think this is his way of making his own Doctor Who episodes really. He's definitely got the British science fiction going there, you know. Yeah, that's true. Even like his first video was Tattooed Millionaire and I can't remember. Somebody's going to mention it in the comments, but he worked with some famous director to do that. Yeah, there you go. Boom. I mean, that was hardly a masterpiece in video, but it shows he was having fun and taking it very seriously from the start. And even to your point about the movie that it's the chemical wedding, the movie, correct? Yeah. That was the name of the movie. Was it called chemical? I can't remember what it was called. Yeah. I've seen. I remember when I first was going to watch it. I go, I can't wait. Bruce Dickinson wrote the screenplay. I think did he direct it? I don't remember if he did or not. It was sort of like. He was involved, but heavily involved. I could have done that movie. You know what I mean? With my camera, like going around the house. But I will say this, the guys got passion. You know, you can't deny. And even though I think it's a great, it was a great script and a great idea that needed a Hollywood production. That's what I think. That's it. I think he had such a hard time with the funding and definitely went to people and ultimately the film didn't really turn out like he wanted. But as just a case of you need hundreds of thousands of millions of pounds to do it exactly how he would have wanted it. And I think even if he got it exactly how he wanted it, it would still be really off the wall. It would still be really weird and have all these crazy concerts because that's, that's what turns him on. You know, I mean, that's what he finds. And I love that about him. I love that about him. I feel exactly the same as is aiming. It's not. Is it something I'm going to go back to? Probably not. Does it distract from the song? Maybe a little. But at the same time, I'm looking forward to the story and the the concepts being told across the album. I don't really need videos to do that. But for him as part of, as part of making spotter who is it? And that's part of why everybody loves him too. Believe it or not. Right. Mark Mitchell says video itself is pretty whack. The credits mentioned it comes together in six weeks. Looks more like six hours. I don't think he understands that Bruce has probably a lot of videos and this is sort of like the, the, the, the short version of what's to come, right? The commercial or the trailer. That's what Bruce probably did because I don't know what came first, whether it was the comic or the video, but it seems like the comic came first. And within this, if you buy the single, the, the comic and the single is, is based on a subscenes and the video. It's really interesting. And the animation and the, the story and, and the comic comes, comes over a lot cooler than, than maybe the, the video with all the. And I, and I should mention this, the comic is going to be released January 17th, 2024. That's the comic. The album is coming out March 1st, 2024. This is a huge undertaking. He's got videos. He's got comic. He's got that conceptual theme for the album. Do you like concept albums in general? And I mean, are you looking forward to the concept or would you have rather have just different pieces and different songs? Do you know what the more I, the more I do this sort of thing and the more, the more I do, you know, reviews and stuff on music and even interviews that I do, I, I'm a music guy. I play guitar. I honestly, lyrics are almost the last thing that comes to my mind. That's just a self, what sort of looking for like a self as I love brave misplaced childhood, seven son of a seven son operation, mine, crime, the wall, dark side of the moon. If they were singing those songs about separate entities, I don't think I would really care, you know, but if it, if it creates, what's the word I'm looking for? I suppose. A mood, a tone. Yeah. Or a universe, I suppose these days is more. I mean, I love the way say the chemical wedding has called back to the song, the chemical wedding towards the end. I love the beginning and end, you know, seven deadly sins on seventh son. When you get themes repeating even the who and quadrophenia, Tommy stuff like that. Again, I'm talking about music, aren't I? So the story wise is something that interests me lesser than the music, but that's just because I'm like, you know what? You bring a lot of good points in there. I'm, you know what the beauty of Bruce is? You could put on the chemical wedding and even though it's a concept album, you don't really realize it's a concept album. Yeah. And I think that's a good thing. See, I'm, I'm, I'm the opposite to, well, not the opposite Damien, but I do always find or what I love about Bruce is his relationship to how he uses language has always really inspired me. He's always able to, to, to mirror it with the music really well. And he writes in a way that is sophisticated and in a way that nobody else does. And especially in metal, you know what I mean? There's a, there's a intelligence to his lyrics that always makes me smile. And he's able to do it in a way that's created. This is, this is so important when you're saying, you know, he, he knows how to use words to the point where you, you could put it on and saying, and this I said to before, you could put it on and saying, wow, this is a concept album. Let me follow the concept or you could enjoy it as individual pieces of music. And that's kind of why Operation Wine Crime works too, because it could be enjoyed on two levels, either as a concept album or as individual songs where some bands come out with concept albums and it's kind of like messy, like they got like 20 inch rows and outros and it's just so messy that you're like, you kind of get turned off by the whole concept album thing. Or cheesy. Or cheesy. Thank you. Nostradamus. Thank you as well. You know, I discovered Bruce when I was about 14 years old. And the lyrics for Chemical Wedding, he's talking about pans or divisions burning in the mud and all these kinds of things that evoke mysterious concepts. And for me, at a time, the music is so dark and so heavy, and he's talking about Satan's Left, he's killing for, and what does this all mean, you know? He's really good at making these worlds feel theatrical, like Shakespearean almost, but in a way that's still metal, like it's still cool and it's relevant. And that's what I like about Bruce's stuff. All right. I'm going to go read some comments and you guys could feel free to sort of add your comments to the comments. Frank Schenker says, love Bruce's new video single, excellent production to guitar. Sound tone reminds me of Dream Theater, train of thought. You're of Iron Maiden. Needs to get rid of Kevin Shirley. I know the boss is loyal to Kevin and replaced Shirley with Roy Z as an ex-producer. Here are my thoughts. I agree with everything you said, Frank, but I don't think they should bring in Roy Z. Let Roy Z be part of Bruce's world or his universe, because that's what separates Maiden. And you guys, would you agree with that? Yeah. I think there's a tendency, you know, immediately people say, oh, I wish Maiden were doing this. This is much better than Maiden. I like this more than Maiden. The whole reason Bruce has a solo career at all was to step away from Maiden, to establish his own, to go near sounds and ideas that Maiden, that Steve Harris felt weren't appropriate for Maiden. So only through Bruce doing things that aren't like Maiden is the reason why we have this back catalogue at all. And I'm a die-hard Maiden fan. I love everything Maiden do. But there's excitement in getting things from Bruce Dickinson's back catalogue that you wouldn't, that you might not get from Maiden at all. All right. Tom says, Tom DeMond says, I like it very heavy and dark, especially the main riff, maybe a little too dark. Still amazing at his age, like Rob Kent still saying, I'm going to go look at some negatives. I was pretty shocked at the negatives, Aiman. I was pretty shocked. There were some people saying, it's okay, it's all right. Now you wouldn't see these comments on the video itself where Bruce was releasing it. You would see them on other YouTube channels, other social media, and people are completely shocked. I mean, what do you want to hear? Like, what do you want to hear? I did read that someone said, they wished that Bruce Dickinson would do some growling. And it made me laugh because you're never going to get that from Bruce. And I think if he was to try and do it, it would come off as ridiculous, you know what I mean? Bruce Dickinson's not Phil Anselmo or Corpse Grinder or Campbell Corpse, you know. All right. But Abigail says, this is Abigail Sherm note was, meh wasn't overly excited. What do you say to that, Aiman? Meh wasn't, would you say meh wasn't overly excited? I think the difference really is that there's a whole concept there. First off, like I wanted, honestly when I got to the video, I was like, how long is it before this bloody thing starts? The things I gave minutes along the video because you've got this atmospheric intro and you've got an outro. Good point. It's because it's introducing a concept and a story. So it's more than just, can't I play this, boom, three minutes, you know. And so in a way, I get it that people are like, you know, because it's building a whole thing and that's almost where you get a chunk out of a concept album, don't you? Which is what's going on here. So yes, it's less immediate, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. I find it interesting as to whether how much of this album even is a concept album. We don't even know that yet, you know. No, no, no. It is a concept album. My thing is Bruce Dickinson with concept albums. Again, Chemical When is a concept album. How much is he actually going to lean into? Is it really going to be like King Diamond with characters and playing female voices and no? Well, okay. Now it's a good segue into actually I want to read one more comment here. John says, John Goldstein says, I like the main riff but not much else. Pretty underwhelming to me. It's no Book of Thel or King of Crimson. Now, I don't know about that comment. I was, I'm going to tell you, I was blown away by this song. To me, the way he's singing that chorus and I'll get back to this. It's dynamic. It's dramatic. I agree with the chorus. This is what's missing in music today. Actual singing. The guy is singing. I think it depends on your perspective. If you're coming at it. My perspective is always the right perspective. That's number one. That's rule number one. Okay. So for example, I'm quite conflicted about it. As a fan of Bruce Dickinson, I'm over the moon that Bruce Dickinson is back. I'm over the moon that Bruce Dickinson is making new music. As someone who, as a diehard fan of Bruce Dickinson's solo work and who has been waiting for this half my life, his half his life. He's been away 18 years when you think how old are you? I'm 34. Oh, it's half your life. It really is half your life. Me, it's a quarter of my life. Amon's about a quarter. So for me, Tony Soles came out in 2005 and it was able to provide me with the soundtrack of being a teenager, you know. And it was so different from the popular stuff that was out at the time that I could really sink my teeth into it. So if I'm looking at it from a diehard Bruce Dickinson fan, I want this new single to blow away. It did. But it did. It blew me away. I don't know. Maybe your expectations were a little higher. So does it have the impact of abduction? No, it doesn't. It doesn't have that killer or Bruce swinging for the fences. I cried. I cried. I cried. It was so good. Well, I mean, I understand that as well. Like I can understand people feeling like joy about the fact that they get anything from Bruce at all. So it depends on how you're looking at it, you know. I know people who feel exactly the same as you. I'm somewhere in the middle because do I think this is one of the best songs Bruce Dickinson's ever put out? No. I don't think after all of Ragnarok is, if you look at the whole, I mean, if you compare it, I mean, you don't have to, you know what I mean. If you take this for just for what it is, then it's great. You know what I mean? Bruce is back and it's new heavy metal. But also, it's very similar to, for example, something black label society might do. I don't know. Don't even go there. Don't go there. In terms of just the riff or like the mood of the song is very like 90s black Sabbath, Tony Martin, virtual death type of thing. You know, I personally think. So my argument would be it's a continuation of this. It's a continuation of this. No, there's not the only thing that I can really criticize is it's nothing exceedingly new. Apart from the chorus. Hey, look, you're entitled to your opinion. That's cool. I mean, if that's how you felt. I mean, to be fair, I would say some of these riffs were recorded a decade ago. He's been working on this for a long time. So probably were. Yes. Yes. Yeah. So probably does tie in and literally tie into Tarnia souls, etc. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Really. I think it does sound like a progression. Accident of birth, chemical learning, turning of souls and now this. And I love that. That continuity that. Yeah. Like you said before, it feels like he's established a signature sound with Rosie and you're getting that. He's delivering on what you expect heavy metal from Bruce. And I think that's the. An exciting thing as well. A lot of people don't know about Bruce's back catalog. And only know him from Maiden. So this is also bringing Bruce Dickinson to a wider audience to say, here I am with my own brand of heavy metal. And that's that's a good point. That's a good point. The track listing that was also released. Yeah. I think that I sent it to, did you see the main man that I sent it to? I'm not sure if I saw it. Yeah. I got the press release. Yeah. And the only comment I have to say about this is we have afterglow is about five minutes. Resurrection man is about six minutes. Eternity has failed. Is 6.59 seconds, which is basically seven minutes. Shadow of the Gods is seven minutes in Sonata. Immortal beyond is nine minutes and 51 seconds. I think what's happened. And I think, you said this. He has and you said this to came in. It's 18 years. They've had time to listen to the songs, re listen to recalibrate the songs. Sit with them. Listen to them in the stereo. Listen to them in the car. Listen to them everywhere. Sit with them, change them, modify them. That's why I think this is going to be a strong album and probably the riffs are 10 years old, but they're being recalibrated. They're being, you know, fixed up. The mixes are being changed. This is going to be a long song. There's a lot of long songs on this album. You know, it's not going to be your, can I play with madness here? Boom, boom, boom. We're in or out. This is the thing. Bruce delivers what he wants. If anything, the criticism that people have for Maiden kind of comes from the idea that Bruce Dickinson wants to do the kind of songs that Bruce Dickinson wants to do. So you're not going to get your radio songs. These are songs that exist to serve the whole of the culture. With the exception of fingers in the wounds is three minutes and 39 seconds. That might be your, can I play with madness on? I don't know. I don't know. Amen. Did you hear the demo for, if eternity should, oh my God, I just lost my track. If eternity should fail. No, I haven't. And I mean, I'm going to go out in a limb here and say Royce Eco wrote that song. That's got to be a certainty there. No, I haven't heard it yet, but I'm looking forward to giving that a spin. Yeah. I mean, I know they came in way in on that, but from my perspective, it's a demo. It's a demo. It's what it is. It's basically, you know, the vocals seem very loud in the mix. But I must say, I'll credit to Royce who has written an absolute bitching song. I mean, you know, you know it from Maiden. Like Maiden took, like Bringer dot, the demo of Bringer dot to the slaughter, Maiden took it and made a fiber, but all the bones, even all the Maideney things about that song are in Royce's demo. So it's interesting. It's very interesting to hear it because it just goes to show how much effort Royce and Bruce has put into that song originally. It's a pretty clever way, right? It's kind of like, hey, this is the song that we wrote before it went and made a find it. You know, like Steve took it. It's pretty nice. To think that he's also doing another version of it, which is he's rewritten it again and called it Eternity Has Failed, just because he loves it that much. And I must say that that song is that good. Like when I was, I got to be honest with you, it was never my favorite Maiden song. You know, it was okay. I love it because it's a Bruce song. That's why I love it. Like when you hear Maiden play it and Bruce sing it, all the things that he's singing about are going to be in the Mandic project. All those elements of good and evil, like humanity succumbing to sin and the end of the world, all that kind of stuff is what this album's going to be about. And Bruce is passionate about it and he's passionate about whoever Nacropolis is. And the effect he has on the world is interesting. It's a good way to get us out of here, aiming final words. Final words. I just realized that yesterday, 25 years ago, I saw Bruce Dickinson and Glasgow in the G2. So it's been 25 years since I saw him live. I'm looking forward to the tour more than the album. I'm very much looking forward to the album. I was 10 years. I think I was 10 when that was. So I've got tickets to see him in May. This is the first time I've ever seen Bruce Dickinson. And it's got to be in the Battlelands. It's got to be amazing. All right. As we get out of here, show us this single once again, K-Man. Show it. Like a supermodel, please. Like a super, like this. And I will do this. This will make a good thumbnail later on. Show us the album cover. I want to see your face. There it is. There it is. Serious face. What do you got, Aiman? You got anything? Hang on. Let me get something. Stay there. The video's on the back showing off his new physique. All right, everybody who's watching, just comment. Tell us. There you go. Hold on. Hold on. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. There you go. It's this, whatever it's called, solo works box set. Nice. Awesome. All right, guys. Thank you so much. Thanks everybody for watching. We'll talk soon, everyone. Thank you. Bye. All right.
