I disagree about Maiden not having as exciting opening acts last few years. I saw Halestorm open for them, never listened to that band before, ended buying 2 solo concerts for them

Kiss is absolute trash and I wish that they would retire for goodπ’ thereβs literally no one asking for more kiss music.

The reason that there is NO NEW Anthrax album is that Charlie has been too busy playing in a Pantera tribute band to care about what the Anthrax fans want, which is a NEW Anthrax album and tour!π€π»π¬π§π€

Support acts? I was hoping the βexcitingβ Maiden news would be the band are FINALLY playing songs from No Prayer.

New for Japanese metal fans, Ningen Isu have released their latest album 'Mahoroba' (γΎγ»γγ°). Just thought I'd mention it!

What is the point of Manowar announcing their tours always more than one year in advance?
They are constantly milking their fans! I would go for sure, if it was nearby, but no way I am going to buy tickets to shows more than 12 months in advance, and even then only for very special shows!

Lord of Steel was without a shadow of a doubt the poorest album that has ever been released in the history of Heavy Metal. Itβs beyond awful.

The issue with the hate against KISS is that people are fucking dumb and unable to comprehend a simple information. KISS said they are retiring from touring, from huge full on shows. But at the same time said KISS will live on in one form or another. So… where's the issue? You are the issue guys. Sorry.

A new Kiss album? Dang it, I was hoping that stupid ascot song would be their last one, just for the joke of 'the last Kiss song' being a barbershop quartet number.

I love Manowar and it is great to hear you covering them here but ever since Ross was ousted putting out new music hasnβt really been their specialty. I hate to say it but it might actually be a good thing that it has taken this long to release a new album.

Metal Church just dropped a new song that's killer, like too see them open for Maiden on the U.S. leg. Manowar?! touring is the only thing they've done in what 20yrs? Gods of War was a disaster just packed with filler. A new KISS LP what's the point!? Should have put out a new release to end with. If it does happen will they tour and if so on goes the never ending last tour syndrome cash grab.
