 And here we are on the metal voice. What is going on everybody? All right big day today last second jumping on the internet. Oops Jumping on the internet last second to talk about the track Been a busy day been a busy day just out of the blue last night I see this track is coming up and didn't even know if I was gonna do this and just out of the blue call Amen and game and let's just do this fast fast. Let's talk about this new song amen Tell us about yourself a little bit We got a little time Hello there James. It's great to see you again my friend Well, I'm over here in the old Ireland and you know when there's rustling through the trees It's all very beautiful over here The best news is I've got a trooper by my side in celebration of today's news All right. Good. There you go. The workday is done. Now. It's time to drink a little bit. All right So let's talk about this. I'm gonna bring it up here on the screen whoa Strategio strategy Joe Stratigo Stratigo, I think it's pronounced like that. So it's or Stratigo. I don't know Is it is it Stratigo or Stratigo or is it? Stratigo, what do you think? I would go I would go with a lot of them. What's I know, you know, the Japanese version Yeah, yeah, that's what I would go with I don't know, but um This is the second track From maintenance long awaited 17th studio album Sinjutsu Sinjutsu which is to be released september 3rd It's one of two songs on the 10 track 82 minute long album And it's written by yarr yannick yarr's garr's yarr's right yarr's garr's And founding member steve harris. All right. So right off the bat The excitement is building up. What did you think? Um, well first off an interesting fact. I went back through I was like, you know, all the singles of late have been idrian smith has basically had a right In most of the singles smith harris This is the first single to have garr's name on it since out of the silent planet. So it's been 20 21 years would that be right? Um Now yannick i'd say personally i'm not a massive fan of his because i'm a massive idrian smith fan boy. However He has contributed some brilliant songs to iron maiden. Uh, probably the finest one. I would have said would be, um Uh ghost the navigator or dream of murrers. I think he called it with the um But yeah, this is a nice second single. It feels like a second single uh with that mid-pace thing going on probably Uh In the same way as say two minutes to midnight something like that So after all the excitement and the burst of energy with writing on the wall, it's nice to follow up with something punchy like this Um, and I think it it bodes well for the album Yeah, by the way, how do you like my new todlatori shirt? You like that? Are you are you advertising is he paying you? I know he's not paying me. He just sent me a shirt. So I figured and you know what? It's soft like bunnies like if you were to wear bunnies. Yeah, this is what it would feel like Well, I've got my todlatori shirt all Different guy Yeah, yeah, different guy completely. All right, here we go. So here's my opinion, you know Put it on it. What is it like four or five minutes long the song? Is that what it is? What's that? Is that the amount of hurt? I think it's a great song. It's tight And it's sort of you know progressive and tight and melodic But the said the production is really that's what sort of like kills it for me The production is out of the word is muddy or thin It just seems like bruce recorded his vocals in his house Not to say that people don't do that, right? But How were you listening to it? Were you on spotify or youtube? So I listened to it on youtube That's probably because someone else said that to me as well. Like just listened to it on youtube But initially I listened to it on spotify. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah And it shouldn't really matter. I mean, I don't I don't say, you know, they're similar You know, I don't know the science behind the technicalities, but it really shouldn't matter But I would agree with you on listening to it on youtube the mix It doesn't seem to be as clear as the spotify version. I listened on spotify. I thought This is a good production. Actually, you know, there's echo on the vocals Bruce is singing harmonies for the first time and god knows how long Um, and I thought it actually wasn't I was speaking to you earlier and said this probably the best would just Uh track that bad since brave new world at era if I ever listened to it on youtube I agree with you. It does sound muddy or maybe it's that fresh years thing where you go I'm all excited to hear the new song and then when you take a seat back and hear it a couple of times you're You're starting to listen Without that Oh my god new toy excitement You know, I would put it as a deep cut song, you know and and and to define a deep cut is basically a you know A really well crafted piece of music That is not as memorable as let's say run to the hills like you know a really deep cut, you know It's it's it's really got it's it's darker. It's it's it's got a lot of meaning It's it's really such a great song, but it'll never be that hit on the radio and And and I kind of put that this song into that category. It ain't no run to the hills It ain't no two minutes to midnight. It's not number of the beast It's just It's just a very good well crafted song and I'm just I was kind of breaking it down for you before this, right And just to understand it like this is the structure and Correct me if I'm wrong about these things. Okay It starts off with a melodic riff, right You know sort of like to to bring the sort of like the tone and the melody to the song Then it goes into a verse and then you comment on this. There's that guitar riff underneath the verse Yeah, I mean not not in trump chair, but to to go along with what you're saying I love that first melody. It's like a two two note chord thing Although I suspect you'll have dave marie playing the lower register young fan higher one And I think that's great at the start of the song But I really dislike the melody under the voice to me the to me it sounds like It's like a guide to go. All right. This is the melody. I want you to sing and then he plays it And it wavers It wavers because they're not bruce isn't singing exactly They and yannick isn't playing exactly the melody. So to me, it's off putting It's almost like the guitar player is playing along Well, I mean, you know, the red and the black is very so what he's doing is he's playing the melody of the vocals That's what you're saying. Yeah, so he's singing it right in a certain way and the guitar is playing the same thing But in the background so they've done that on songs of dance of death. They've done that on On the last album, they've done it, you know, they they they tend to do that a lot So that's the verse so opening melody you go into the verse and then what's really cool They go into like a pre-chorus and a pre-chorus is sort of like it's a chorus But sort of like it happens before sort of like there's two choruses And that's kind of like the open notes and the big notes, right? Correct? Yeah, there must have been listening to abba abba all we said you need two choruses What a great song Right, you've got that's your first chorus and then see that girl And it's clever and it's clever to do a pre-chorus and it's different than a bridge A bridge is sort of like happening once or twice. So you got your your verse You got your pre-chorus and then you got your chorus where he's kind of you know repeating the same Not as much repeating but the phrasing and the phrases are repeated a few times And then you got the back vocals coming in right and it and back vocals and they do it right So he's got his voice On the first round of the chorus and then the second round of the chorus He comes in with the back vocals which sort of creates a more of a larger dynamic, right? Makes it more intense Yeah, I love to hear the harmonies One of my favorite tracks on Brave New World is the closing song with the inline between love and hate Which is it's kind of a deep cut now, but Bruce is singing harmonies the entire way through the voice the verse And it's a very underutilized thing when you've got a singer as powerful as Bruce Dickinson I mean you listen to something like wasted years the chorus of that and all those harmony So it's a to me. It's a fantastic surprise Because they tend not to sing harmony vocals. I can't remember the last time harmony vocals were used on a maiden track Um, so to me that was one of the big losses for this song Yeah, I mean, you know a perfect, you know If you look at uh, Flight of Icarus as an example that's that's like the three-part harmonies on that right You don't see much of that anymore. You see a little bit of it But not as much it's nice to see it and they put in the right place like he sings the chorus And then he adds the vocals on the on the repetition of the chorus right which lifts it up a little more And then it's really cool because after that Where am I now? And then they go back to the pre-chorus from the chorus And then they go to the verse And then from the verse they don't do the chorus again. They go right into the solo. What did you think about the solo? um, well, it's a yannick air solo So He just he fell asleep when he just decided to record it. Um, yeah, I I'm much more fan-adjusted about the works of solos I Dave Murray fires them off without thinking about it too. Although he's got the ticker style that works Yannicks Do you know what I would say this isn't one of his worst solos? There's loads of them in that category. Um There's a there's a melody he used halfway through the solo and I thought that's interesting It sounded like there's some structure and some form to it. So You know, but what can you say? I mean, it's a yannick air song. So he can play the solo. It's my song. I'm playing the solo lads All right, I would agree with you. I mean, it's it's it's okay. It's all right. I mean, you know, it's nothing It's no, you know, it's no eruption. You know, I'm saying it's a great it's good It fits with the song. I wouldn't say doesn't fit but is it memorable? Not so much, but it fits with the song and it's fine and it's not too too long Then there's then from the solo, you got that cool midsection, right? You know and things are changing up and this is the difference between Maiden in the sort of and martin made a good point about this He goes you can't just keep repeating the same stuff and call it progressive Well, this is a this is a good example of a progressive song That's tight and that's kind of like there's a lot of changes going on And this is what a real progressive song is lots of bridges lots of pre-courses courses lots of changes In a tight manner right to make things real super interesting And you have that midsection and the keyboards are coming in now, right? You got a little bit of keyboard in the back. I actually really like that The keyboard backs up the melody at the end the the guitar melody and there's a really nice tone to it and I see michael kenney Doing something, you know I'm between tuning up the bass Yeah, I mean, okay We're not talking about complicated keyboard here just a little bit on a little bit on the top there You know just just to make it sound really yeah, no it no it works. Um, I think it's a nice addition It's not when I heard it. I thought that's not keyboard for keyboard sake. That's not there Oh, let's just throw something else in it's actually a nice little texture. Uh, I just say towards the end. Yeah All right. Here we go. I'm gonna go hold on a sec Okay, we're gonna bring somebody on here. Hold on And just like that Who's that guy? Who's that guy? It's not called a tarry to come on I think Todd a tarry. Look, what do the Todd a tarry? I think I thought that was hysterical. Todd a tarry You'd be there. It's the japanese tribute to queens, right? Turn tide tide turn off the volume on the on the computer Remix mute There's nothing else on just how I normally have it You could hit mute Well, if I hit mute on my computer, I won't be able to hear you It sure you will no You're on zoom. No, you could you could close it. You close it. You're on zoom Oh good. We lost it. But now you got to put on There's a weird delay happening You know, you got to do what now you got to put on put on headphones. All right, let me try that And in the meantime, don't tell me what to do. I'm the singer of queens, right? Let me alone Oh my god, we're gonna hear look at that. Look at that repeat. Yeah I don't have to do here I'm gonna tell everybody fast fast what happened yesterday. Yesterday. We're doing the interview with doro with my todlatory shirt on And everybody fast fast what happened yesterday. Oh god. We're getting a huge repeat There's the man There we go. Can you hear us now? They're still at the way You got to turn off the youtube turn off youtube just close it close youtube Trust me Okay, how about now? Perfect. Yeah, that's good. Now you can take off your headphones too Let's try it now. That's it. Look at that magic I had another youtube up with with an ironmaiden concert paused Yeah, that's weird. Anyway, hey real quick Obviously, I love ironmaiden. I I heard it on my phone and then I was playing it through my I'm in the garage doing some work yeah, and it was uh Crank it through my system through my speakers out here and it sounded better but the vocal does sound a little muffly but uh The first thing that I noticed that You know was that lead under it almost sounded like a lead guide track when you're sending a file to somebody to go Hey, here's a vocal melody Sink just what I said and then he came up with a melody and then they didn't mute the Mute that now I like the keyboard part during the chorus that goes with the melody But the one during the verse take I don't know I don't want to say anything because it'll be it'll be a goddamn blabbermouth headline tomorrow. So no, that was my first thought You know what you you can speak to the parts and it's fine, right? You know, that's all good It's a it's a cool song though and it you what I like is I can hear Like the room especially on the drums Like it has that more old school like recording sound, which I I think people are kind of going back to You know like instead of like sound replacing like you can hear Nico's drums like like Really well and you can hear the natural tone of the drums happening, which is like something you haven't really heard in a long time, but uh it's definitely You know, I like this better than the first single. Okay. Actually, that's what I was gonna ask you just that Do you like this better? What about you? Amen. Amen. What about you? Well, I I actually but is this metal is this metal go ahead. Amen. I I actually I made a few notes of my last note is I much prefer writing on the wall Oh, look at that. So there's the answer A little debate happening here, but then I'm it's the adrian smith thing too. You know, I just think he writes I don't know a bit more melodic songs blue yannick writes melodic songs too, but um, I I prefer that one, uh, even even even a multiple listens to I really like the midsection. I really like the midsection. It sort of made the song more exciting After that, yeah, yeah, absolutely. It just made it so much more exciting Yeah, I don't know and I and I liked how it faded out too Like he's got the chorus and he just stops he doesn't keep repeating over and over he just stops And it's got a little sort of eerie keyboard at the end Which I I liked it must be like a minor key of some sort another Yeah, I like I like the section after the guitar solo. I thought that was a nice change I agree. I agree. I think a surprising thing is that um, It's five minutes long, which really isn't a short song But it feels like a short song and I think that's that's actually a good Okay, I'm gonna look at the comments here because a lot of people are saying a lot of stuff Air is saying all of adrian solos are memorable every minute after every Even minutes after writing on the wall came out people instantly recognize the phrasing of adrian solo And that's to your point, amen And it's true adrian has more and he thinks more about creating those solos not to say that Yannick doesn't but I'm just saying he just seems that way That is that way That is that way adrian crafts his solos and yannick Improvises, you know and yannick comes from he would argue that he comes from kneeing gellin. I'm sorry. I've written blackboard You know just off the cuff kind of player Um, whereas adrian would sit down and construct his solos and that's that's very evident by what he comes out with And sanix is saying good song, but again garbage production as usual and that's to everybody's point here I wouldn't say garbage. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't say garbage. I would just saying thin Here's the thing We're so used to hearing a much more compressed crisp There's just a different sound that we've been hearing for the last 20 years that when you go back And you listen to somewhere in time peace of mind Even seventh son. There's you know, just the older records of all the all these bands This sounds kind of more like what would have been recorded would have what might have sounded like 30 years ago Unless you're talking, you know, there was a couple crazy high fidelity like empire and uh in god we trust there was like a few records that were so Crisp and like Not what you were used to hearing, but I think we're so used to hearing Just what what engineers are doing today sound replacing all the drums Everything is a lot of guitar players using plug-ins. Like you're not hearing that rawness So I think sometimes people are quick to say The production doesn't sound good, but that's subjective and But I don't know the first thing I noticed at least when I had my my phone listening is The vocals sounded kind of like a little mufflery like back there And instead of very present and bright and it it definitely sounded a little further back now when I played it in here in the garage It didn't sound quite like that But it certainly doesn't have the that presence that we're used to hearing But again, that's a very subjective thing and I mean, all right Yeah, well, okay So one of my buddies jay sends me a text today and he goes jimmy, you know, they they should they need somebody like martin birch To sort of like you have Zeus right right Todd, you know, you got a crack in the whip, right? You need someone to say look, I know you love this part, but you need to change it someone to be objective And I don't know. I don't know who produced it or maybe they self-produced after all these years Well, it's Steve harris Kevin surely so harris has got a co-producer credit for the first time since their the the the reunion Wow Yeah, well, what do you aim and what do you feel about the the Do they need do you think steve harris and the caveman is on on course? They're doing well or do they need to bring in somebody with some fresh ears to really crack the wind I mean that Todd was mentioning it there the production on Somewhere in time, which is like what 30 plus years old Is head and shoulders above anything that they've done You know, well seven some was great and then after that no What drives me mental actually is if you listen to an album like say for all kings by anthrax worship music The production on those albums is stunning. I would say they're the best just metal albums of recent times and you go Put iron midden with a producer like that. I was Jay rusting wasn't it done for all king And you could have something magical I think like anthrax are one of the the only bands at the minute that are truly cranking out albums that Easily stand head to head with what they did in the past and that's that's what I think about the production It's like I another another thing is like A great song is a great song a great song with a mediocre mix You know, if you if you take like if you take Sometimes like you could I mean sometimes people say well a bad song is a bad song. It doesn't matter how good you make it sound, but Sometimes you could take a mediocre song with an incredible production and That perception is that maybe it's better than it is, you know, so if you take a really good song With a production that just isn't resonating with people that first thought is ah sounds this Sounds this that that and and maybe the music Like listening to the actual musical composition and the song becomes secondary because they're just listening to how it sounds But you put that with an incredible production and it just elevates it So much like when we write we'll be like, yeah, this is cool like on a demo and our demo sound Dude, our demo sound is good As good as a most bands finished product them when we do the final thing and we're like, holy crap Wow, that really made that come alive. Yeah, and you know, how important Todd How important is it to have Zeus there saying, you know what? I'm not digging it. Do it again You know, how would have like, but I mean Is that so important? How important is it for a band? it's very important because as a as writers and as people in the band you get married to the demos and you've heard that Term a lot. I'm sure you have a personal connection and you have feelings attached to it That's how you heard it in your head. This is how you And then somebody that has zero feelings on it and they just critique it how they hear it. They're like You know, maybe somebody was said dude that guitar you got going on in the back with your vocal on the chorus Get rid of it. You're it's competing with the vocal. It almost sounds like a vocal guide track Um, is it really benefiting and then everybody goes well, no, I think it Emphasizes the melody and then somebody would say you don't need it to emphasize. It's Bruce Dickinson. He he is the he's the guy You know singing that melody. So you get different opinions and then the producer goes I bang the gavel. I have the final say that's an authority that the band grants a producer And you know fingers crossed because again everything's subjective, but there's times where I'll say I mean we will we will Debate for two hours over how I phrase one word and I'll say I like it this way and eddie will go I you know, I don't like it that way. Maybe you should try You know, and there's things that you you do you have your little it's like hetfield. We go Maybe somebody goes dude, you do that every time. Don't do it. And he goes, that's just kind of how I phrase things I don't think to do it. It's just how my my mouth It finishes something and it becomes signature to him so I gotta say very important. It's very important And I gotta say it's even more important in the mix Because what happens is when the band starts mixing stuff and they don't do it consciously You do it subconsciously they start putting themselves louder or they're whatever they did louder because they think no no It's it's it's not loud enough and and and that's why you need a third party just to go in there and And make sure the mix is done properly too Not only that but like when we do when we do recalls on a mix or like a record We all have notes and I'll say hey This this harmony vocal on this one part Needs to come up like two db's too. It's it's just I like it talked but it's almost I don't even know if I can hear it and then You know, so we all but then it goes back to what are you listening on? Put your good cans on Listen to it through your good headphones flat no eq Listen to it that way And then put it in your burn a cd put it in the car drive around listen because that's how people are going to hear it And we go over these but we usually go through about three rounds of notes of little baby stuff Like, you know because again in your head like your eddy might be focused on a bass part or a vocal And you know, but we all try to be very step outside and just listen to the balance of everything Nobody should be stepping or walking on another instrument unless it's a a very deliberate Part that you want to emphasize otherwise, you know, yeah You want a nice full rounded bodied mix where guitars are present But they're not over driving something and fighting with vocals and frequencies and whatever But it's it's very important to have somebody there And I would say and I'm not they're gonna let you say it because you know things happen I'm gonna say that they need to and and amen could say this too Because whatever we say, you know, it's not gonna go viral Uh, I would say they definitely need a friggin producer and I could see even the comments people keep saying they need I think you know, my fresh pair of ears there. I think you're right And I think a lot of people would agree But I think we all just have to accept that it's Steve Harris's band and he that's the way he wants it You know what? Yeah, and sometimes They might say That's the expectation There's a reason why we did what we did and maybe we're just not up to speed with their vision I don't I'm not here to critique That iron maiden. I mean what the fuck but You know as a first listen it did I and I said I got I have work to do out in the garage here I said, I do want to play this song through my sansuis or whatever they are and and And hear this on some better speakers than my phone but Everybody's listening on their phone And so if it sounds good here, probably gonna sound great on a system But it did it kind of sounded like this whereas I'm It just it just had a little quality that sounded like I was kind of doing this And I missed a little bit of that presence and clarity Yeah, yeah, you know what? I was thinking he was actually recording it in his house those vocals and that it sounds like a, you know, a home That doesn't matter. That that doesn't even matter. I record or a poor home home recording You know, like somebody didn't know to hook up properly recording because I want to I get these Band demos a lot and it and it sounds like that, you know, like guys who don't understand how to, you know, record their vocals And that's what you get you get that muffled sound, right? I'd have to listen to it again I only listened I listened to like three quarters in the house and then I came out here and put it on and Right before it was done Uh, you hit me up and then I kind of so you're talking about the fade out I didn't even hear that yet. No fade out. It stops and just like a stop. Yeah I'll listen to it like multiple times today And and have a better assessment, but I do like the song. I think it's a cool song. It's got that traditional gallop That, you know, it's kind of signature to like that Steve Harris Here's a great question for Todd and Raymond sleep betrays me Do you think they've slow they're slowly covering up Bruce Dickinson's register change? I would I would say Singers get older singers change and get more depth in their voice And if they're they're just they're adapting and and I would use a word the adapting then Changing I don't know. I mean from what I heard he hit some Yeah, no, he hit notes that sound like iron maiden. I didn't hear any Anything that sounded like he couldn't do anything. He sounded. Yeah, the You're right. The timbre of his voice has changed a little bit, but it sounds the same as it's been Still sounds great. It still sounds great. No sounds great and yeah, you know, I think I think people You know can be a little harsh with The aging process the guy did have a cancer or something that he was going through so we don't know You don't know anything about any maybe scar tissue or this or that or I mean also like I mean, we just did some shows We've been out we haven't toured done shows in a year and a half And there was a couple nights where I was like, wow, this is I'm a little out of condition here It's not the same as singing in your house as being with the band And so You know they recorded and to me it sounds Bruce Dickinson sounds phenomenal He's still one of the greatest of all time. He still sounds like he's got it. I wouldn't even question it Look at this. So here's a cool comment Jonathan says I heard an interview where he said they were making it during the pandemic at their home studio So there you go. It's maybe I'm a little not off there, right? Maybe you just didn't know the right settings, but then again Dude, we record in our home studio, but it's how you do it, right? It's how you do it, too Right, right, right and as Sydney says I love the new song by far. It has a very 80s feel to it It's cool. I would think it does have an 80s feel to it, you know a little more the tighter. It's tighter, you know It sounds like classic maiden the other first single that they put out did not sound like what I Think of when I think of iron maiden that intro kind of reminded me of something like kansas or It had a different sound with that intro and the way that it developed the song developed Whereas this right out of the gate Sounds like iron maiden Here's to everybody's point. Klaus is saying Yes, love the live room feel of it and I think Todd you are mentioning that totally, you know, it's got that sort of The live it's a live atmosphere to it, right? And that's what I love. I really like that Yeah, and somebody says air is saying you've been wearing that toddler torii shirt since the doro interview Take a shower man. He's saying those. You know what actually Exactly I go to sleep with it and you don't need to take a shower with this first of all It's soft like a bunny like I mentioned, right? And you don't need to take a shower once you put it on your your smell great throughout the day That needs to be your tagline though. Jimmy the metal voice soft like a bunny Well, you know what I put that order in to send to uh to you and alan and yeah, and I was like, oh, I hope you know Because we ordered another hundred because they were they were sold out And and then I was glad that you that you finally got it But I I always say to people like hey, it's it's really soft like I spend it is I wish you guys could feel it out there But it's really soft. It's a good quality shirt and it's bulletproof too At least I think it is it looks cool. It looks good At least look how cool it is Look at that Yeah, it's a runner up to the metal voice shirt. That's for sure. I like your doro interview Yeah, you know, she was great. Oh, man I thought it was funny because when you said Todd sends as bad. She's like, yeah cool I'm thinking she doesn't know who I am And then she says to you finally Oh, you're like, yeah, I interviewed you. She's like, oh, okay. That's you And she's but you know what she is really a sweetheart She's so nice Anyway, yeah, anyways coming up is Wendy Dio Wendy Dio's next Next big interview for everybody out there. All right. So what else on this out on the song? Sorry Uh, I think we talked about everything the keyboards. Nice. It was just enough keyboards, right? We're not getting rick wakeman here. We're not just you know, someone It's just a little bit in the background just to sort of emphasize and create that dynamic in the song Guys any other uh, anything's anything else you'd like to say about the song I I thought that the that the waving Banner flag was a cool I was yeah, I said to myself I wonder if they had a huge like backdrop with this artwork made on it And they just had fans like it looks so real. I'm thinking that I'm wondering if that's real or if that was computer done But I thought it was the same thing. I wondered the same thing who did that animation. It's amazing. Yeah, it looks really looks really good Um, I mean for me all of this I mean, it's great that we're sitting here to be in this and it just reminds me of I went to see Aaron Maiden in Belfast in 1995 With blaze Bailey singing and there was about 400 people there They couldn't even sell it out and for Maiden now to be and that's not a slur on blaze by the way But it just shows how far the bar band had come to bounce right back up And they're bigger now than they ever were and I think that's a fantastic thing I'll always give the rush analogy for all you rush fans out there You know, they started off as sort of this hard rock heavy metal band And then you started to get into this new wave progressive style And then it kind of went into another direction And the fans kept wanting them to go back to 2112 and moving pictures But they never did they go we're gonna do what we like and that's that the end And if you want to jump on you know and join us great if you don't well That's what we're doing and that's what they kept doing throughout their whole career And iron means the same they're gonna do whatever they want. They don't care But you know what? iron Maiden still They didn't go so in a direction that you're so different And they maintained a certain their style and sound So as much as people, you know Can be like, you know, oh, we're gonna get the same record from X band whatever band, you know, but it's like, yeah, but they're you know, there is a sound and a style It's like, how do you still have your sound and style? And after this many decades of a career Not churn out songs that all sound the same. That's really hard Without venturing into new territory. That's why I thought that that Section after the solo was like, oh, that was fresh. Like I wasn't expecting that I like that added some color and dynamics to the song and You know, maybe that's their their venturing and introducing some other sounds I mean, they did do that on the first single, which I didn't think sounded like it But overall this is a band that's maintained their same size same with acdc And they just there's well, I would say acdc was more in a box though Like, you know, like literally like the same, you know, same sound throughout their whole career Parents saying my buddy parents saying, hey guys just off the road and joining in I like the first single better. It was more epic Strat what do you how do you think you pronounce strattagio strattagio? Is it italian pronunciation or is it a japanese strattagio or is it strattagio? Stratigo Yes, it's more of an american that's how I'm reading it. Stratigo, but maybe I'm wrong. I don't know I I am friends with the Steve Harris's sister. So maybe I'll I'll ask her. Hey, we need the pronunciation The correct pronunciation. I have Nico's cell phone number, but I don't ever call him I don't want to bother from give him a shout right now. Ask him what what he thinks Guys, what else is going on Todd? What's happening? Do you have a show tonight? I'm home. We did we were out for a week. I'm home until the 20 I fly out again the 27th to I think california And then home for two days then I'm gone for five days or whatever it is So I'm just doing stuff around the house and Hang it out. Yeah. All right. Okay That's about it guys. Yeah, I don't see if there's any other cool comments here Iron Maiden sticks to their guns. I think they write the music and they love to listen to and hope their fans catch the same vibe They're doing everything right and I got to say oh, here we go. Here's a pronunciation from estibal. He's saying Stratigio Go Go or go go go go Stratigo is a board game in the u.s. About war strategy Oh, oh Stratigio Like I would say Stratigo I would say Stratigo, but Stratigo. I don't know I'm what's all go even though. I think I said Stratigo But if you're talking about strategy, then it would be a just sound Stratigo I don't fucking know I think it probably comes from the Japanese Stratigio I don't know. I'm just making that up Here we go. Jody saying hi Todd. I miss you from our facebook, uh, you know messages and uh hard g Oh, it's a hard g so Stratigo Stratigo Parents giving us a six out of ten by the way six out of ten. He likes the first song better I would go the other way like Todd. I think I like the first song a lot But I think I like this one better because it's it just I don't know it just Is it memorable? No, because I can't remember the chorus. Could you sing the chorus right now, amen? No See see I've got the wall stuck in my hand. I've got writing on the wall stuck in my hand That was more of a catchy chorus.
