bill bonham@offical iron maiden bb wrote:Translated by me(Guilherme May) from the brazilian magazine Roadiecrew http://www.roadiecrew.com.br (December 2005) There are some mistakes, but you´ll understand. If anybody still had any doubt about which albuns are gonna be on the second part of iron maiden history´s DVD and tour, here´s the answer.

Roadiecrew:The new live album from Iron Maiden, Death on the road, has off course the classic songs and also some new ones, like Paschendale and No More Lies, besides Lord Of The Flies, from Blaze´s time. Don´t you think the DOD songs sounded a lot better live than on studio?

BD:Yes, this ends up happening lots of times, because the rehearsal that we do for the tour helps a lot for the new songs to sound even better live. When we are going to record an album, we rehearsal, but with the time you get better and better and when we get to the middle of a tour, a song like paschendale is sounding just the way we wanted to. The new songs grow during the tour and even the old ones get better.

RC:What did you think of your own performance on the live album Death On the Road?

BD: I don´t think it was one of my best performancess, not only in the album, but in the wholle tour. I got a cold in many occasions and also in the day we recorded the CD, but even than I think it´s allright. We decided we would record that night the live album , because the DVD would also come from there. But we didn´t have overdubs and I can assure that everything in there is exactally what happened that night.

RC:Everyone knows that on each tour, it gets harder for Maiden to pick up the Set list, and more specifically for the recording of a new live album. In the case of Death On The Road it was really nice to see Can I Play WIth Madness once again. How is the process of selecting the songs today?

BD:The songs that end up in a live album are the ones we choose for the tour. There is no change in the set for the gig we are going to record. We don´t think specifically about these, but the whole tour that our fans around the world are gonna atend. The album is simply a consequence, something like a memory from the tour. There are songs that will always be there and some others we can go changing. It´s not easy to pick, cause each member of the band will have a favorite and others that would like to play. But we gotta be very flexible in this matter and know there will always be some songs that stayed out, but we as a band wanted to play, besides others the fans wants us to execute.

RC:A lot of people in the press comented that this last gig in London was also nice to show how the recent fights between you and Sharon added some extra devotion from the fans to the band. Do you agree with that?

BD:I find this really nice comments, but I really don´t think that what happened in USA affects the Iron Maiden fans in all the world, like it happened in London on the last gig. Everybody read and knows what happened! There were in the place a lot of people from the media and the metal field that saw everything closely. I don´t have any other interest in going on with this, as it´s all very boring. Sharon osbourne hates me because I hate reality shows.

RC:How was the reaction of the fans that were on that Ozzfest gig?

BD:The fans paid to see a lot of gigs, including Iron Maiden, and got pissed when they realised that they weren´t letting us do our presentation propperlly. Most of them got disapointed with a coward attack like that one executed by the Ozzfest crew. A festival that must be fun for everyone that paid to see, for people working there, and the organizers and bands. but that is not what ocurred there. But the fans were not mad at us but with people from event´s organization. We finnished our gig no matter they would throw eggs on us, turn down the PA´s and everything else. After that we went straight to the airport.

RC: And how is the situation today?

BD:As always. Iron Maiden continues with it´s carrer and that she continues with "ozzfest". I have no more interest in commenting any of this things.

RC:In this year´s tour throug Europe and USA you played only songs from the first four albuns. How was that experience?

BD:It was really good to be abble to play sso many songs that were kind of forggoten, like Where Eagles Dare, one of my favorites ever. It´s not new for anybody that one of my favorite albuns is Piece Of Mind. This tour had a connection with the release of the DVD part 1:Early Days and soon we will come with part 2 of this DVD. For this second part we will do a tour playing songs from the next four albuns released from 1984 to 1988, songs from Powerslave, Live After Death, Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. For us and the fans it´s really nice to do these gigs with songs from certain times. We have many plans for the future!

RC:When do you believe you are gonna be abble to do a tour like this in Brazil, playing only classics and not promoting a specific album?

BD:In march of 2006 we will start recording the new studio album and it might be released in october, we will start a tour in this same month through Europe and in the beggining og 2007 we may return to Brazil and south america. That I know is expected to happen. About the tour with only classics, we have nothing planned for Brazil. It could be nice to do something like this if we play in another edition of Rock In Rio, really I don´t know in with moment it can possibly ocurr.

RC:Wich song not on the first albuns did you really miss on the set?

BD:Tough question, but I would say Powerslave, I really like to sing this song.

RC:A lot would say Fear of the dark...

BD: Yes, FOTD, but that we play all the tours. But, without doubt, one of the best maiden songs to interact with the audience.

RC:It seems like you returned to thew stage on the encore from the Hammersmith gig playing Football. Is that right?

Bd:Yes. but it was someone on the crowd that throwed a ballon the stage and then we started playing a little, not much. Just a little joke, as we really enjoy the sport(Laughs).

RC:After the serie of gigs on ozzfest you did a presentation on Reading Festival, in England. Why is reading festival so important to you?

BD:It was there that I was invited to join up Maiden in 1981. I was doing a gig with Samson and Steve and Rod went there to check out my performance on stage, besides being the first festival in wich I presented myself as a singer. We did a really good concert this year there and we left once again a really good impression.

RC:How was the event in the rockwalk of fame in wich you left your hand for the eternity on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles?

Bruce: It was cool, a very american thing, but besides that, there are the fans that put us there to leave our mark. We are very proud of this one more happening and Eddie rightly had his hans registered on the walk too.(Laughs)

RC:How does Iron Maiden fits in your personal life?

BD:Well, I have to travel like a lunatic and do a lot of gigs, and my children can come if they want and watch(Laughs). My children of 13 and 15 years old were in a NEW York gig in the Photgrapher´s place. Suddenly I saw 4 security guys grabbing some people and throwing them out. I thought they were throwing out my children, but suddenly I looked and they were singing and sweting like crazy with a big smile on the face! But I was read to do a mosh!(Laughs)

RC: About your solo carrer, what are your future plans? Do you intend to do a tour next year?

BD:I would like very much to do a tour next year, but for the fans and the press it can cause a little confusion. Iron Maiden returns to the stages on october of next year and we still can do some festivals before. My solo albuns are going well, we re-released all of them with new bonus material and in may 2006 I´l release my double solo DVD. The material is already ready for the release! We put all the videos and it will be very interesting, with about 4 hours of length. But about the solo gigs, as I said it will be really hard to happen in 2006.

RC:But in case you were going to do some gigs, would you have in mind the band thar would be with you on stage?

BD:I have No idea, but I believe Roy Z will be with me, he enjoys playing on my solo band and is a long time partner. I think Chris Dale too, a great friend of mine. I have no news, the people who already play with me and that want to come will remain.

RC:So what are you gonna do until the recording of the new album starts?

BD:I´m gonna go back to my programa on radio 6 music on BBC and my regular work as pilot of wich I´m very proud. Not that I stop flying when I´m on tour with Maiden, but in this time of a break, it gets easier conciliate the stuff.

RC:How was the process of singing in Tribuzy´s album and to come to Brazil and do this gig?

BD: The bassist Chris Dale showed me the sound of the band and than we came to Brasil for the Dance Of Death tour when I met Renato Tribuzy in Rio de Janeiro. So we discussed the details for me to take part on the CD and then he invited me to do these gigs. Very easy and I´m really enjoying being a part of this project.

RC:How did you take the death of two great names that made part of the New Wave Of Britsh Heavy Metal - your partner from Samson, Paul Samson in 2002 and more recently the DJ Tommy Vance?

BD:It always said when people leave us. Paul was with a cancer and he fought bravely against it. I talked to him some time before he passed out and he was very confident that he could heal and that´s really good. Tommy Vance was worst because he died of heart atack and dieing this way just makes things worst than they already are. But the important thing is to know that today, both left their mark and will be remembered by many for ever.

RC:You sang in a band called Shots beforing finishing College and than you joined Samson. What was the style of the band Shots? Why did you have the nickname Bruce Bruce instead of Paul Bruce Dickinson?

BD:Shots used to play some own songs and covers from Montrose. We used to sound like Deep Purple with ian Gillan on vocals, a 70´s hard rock, but the band was interesting and had it´s good moments. That happened more or less around 1978 and 1979. After that I went to sing in Samson and than Iron Maiden. When I joined Samson their manager came to me with idea of using Bruce Bruce because of a part from Mont Python called Flying Circus, in wich there was a bit about the australians Philosophers and there were many Bruces. An idea from their own.

RC:What have you been listening to these days? Some cool bands you would like to mention that you are currently be playing on your BBC show?

BD:There are lots of good bands showing up and I think lots of them doing something new which is not something easy. But from time to time something that calls my attention shows up. Not that that really makes me a fan, but at least interests me. I think System Of A Down is a band that´s been doing something diferent, doesn´t sound like anything else out there. They have almost the same thing as Rage Against The Magine when it showed up, just without much groove. There´s an american band called Trivium that´s also very nice. They are influenced by Iron Maiden, Pantera and do a very heavy and interesting sound.

This tour had a connection with the release of the DVD part 1:Early Days and soon we will come with part 2 of this DVD. For this second part we will do a tour playing songs from the next four albuns released from 1984 to 1988, songs from Powerslave, Live After Death, Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.

Kuulostaahan hyvältä, tietty, kuten sanottu ennenkin, Live After Deathin laskeminen mukaan takaa enemmän ja vähemmän toivottujen hittien mukanaolon. Tästä voidaan olla montaa mieltä tietenkin. Mutta tullaanko toivotuimpia klassikoita kuulemaan kuitenkaan? Ehkä suurimpina Rime of the Ancient Mariner ja Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Maidenin nykyisestä ~90-100 minsan show'sta menee aikamoinen siivu vaikkapa näihin kahteen.

My solo albuns are going well, we re-released all of them with new bonus material and in may 2006 I´l release my double solo DVD. The material is already ready for the release! We put all the videos and it will be very interesting, with about 4 hours of length. But about the solo gigs, as I said it will be really hard to happen in 2006.

Hyvä, että tähänkin tuli hieman valotuista. Aika rankalla kädellä poissuljettiin mm. allekirjoittaneen toivomat kesän festarikeikat Brucen osalta. Toisaalta Brucehan mainitsi, että ei ole mahdotonta nähdä Maidenia festarikeikoilla ennen tulevan kiekon julkaisua. Mikäli (kun?) Suomea ei tässä listassa nähdä, niin onko Rytmiryhmä Brigatin Prikaati lähtövalmiudessa?

EDIT: No saatana, tietty ois voinu pistää molemmista omiin lirpakkeisiinsa, mutta antaa nyt olla toistaseks täällä.

EDIT: +n

Stratocaster · Post by **Stratocaster** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 15:00

^ Oho, Seventh Sonia sitten ottamassa mukaan. Kusen hunajaa kun tuo kiertue koukkaa Härmässä!

Samaa mieltä, erikoisempia korkeintaan Rime ja SSOASS tulossa. Melkeinpä tullaan kuulemaan Heaven Can Wait, Can I Play With Madness yms. kappaleet ja tietenkin Hallowedit ja Trooperit LAD:ilta.
Innoissani odottelen!

darealjyra · Post by **darealjyra** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 15:52

Voi perkele jos pääsisi kuulemaan livenä Seventh Son Of A Seventh Sonin. Kustaan sitä hunajaa. Pystyy jo kuvittelemaan ne lopun kitaratilut livenä, voi jumalauta!

Aloitusbiiseistä ei ainakaan pulaa tule: Aces High, CSIT, Moonchild, anyone? Mikä tahansa noista kyllä kelpaisi ja kunnolla!

Brain Damage · Post by **Brain Damage** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 17:53

Hyvä juttu, että Seventh Son näillä näkymin mahtuu mukaan seuraavaan historiikki-dvd:hen. Tosin pakkohan se on ottaa mukaan, kun kerran Golden Erasta on kyse. Hienoa, että saatiin myös vahvistusta Brucen dvd:n julkaisuun. Hetken jo kävi mielessä, että ilmestyykö pakettia lainkaan, kun niin kauan asiasta oltiin ilman lisäinformaatiota.

CharlotteTheHarlot · Post by **CharlotteTheHarlot** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 19:46

Jep, se kyl kuulosti vähän hassulta, että siinä seuraavalla historia DVD:llä olis ollu vaan Powerslave, LAD ja SIT, koska kyllähän nyt Seventh Sonkin tohon joukkoon on pakko lukee. Se olis voinu olla jotenkin hieman irrallinen sitten siinä siitä seuraavalla historia DVD:llä yhdessä No Prayerin ym. kanssa.

BD: - - we still can do some festivals before. - - in may 2006 I´l release my double solo DVD. - - But about the solo gigs, as I said it will be really hard to happen in 2006.

DAMN, ei siis Brucelle välttämäti soolokeikkaa, mut saadaanpahan ainakin DVD ja hyvällä säkää Maiden kesällä! Nojuu, vi får väl se tästäkin..

Mercenary · Post by **Mercenary** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 20:12

Tämähän kuulostaa erittäin helevetin hyvältä! Yksi mielenkiintoinen juttu mulle vaan tuli mieleen: tuleeko tuosta kiertueesta ensimmäinen, jolla ei kuulla kappaletta Iron Maiden? Jos näin käy, koska iso Eddie saapuu lavalle?

Perkele, kesällä Maiden Provinssiin ja Palkkasoturille samanlainen backstage-passi ku tänä vuonna!

Stratocaster · Post by **Stratocaster** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 20:13

^ Iron Maiden soi joka keikalla. Kuten myös tulevalla Suomi-keikalla, onhan mukana Live After Death jolta tietenkin kys. kappale löytyy.

Pentelesh · Post by **Pentelesh** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 21:31

^Kuten myös Hallowed By Thy Name, Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills. Joooooo.

Pentelesh wrote:^Kuten myös Hallowed By Thy Name, Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills. Joooooo.

Nyt täytyy kyllä toivoa että saadaan näiden ja kaikkien muidenkin aina setissä olevien biisien osaltabiisien osalta edes jonkin verran muutoksia.Live After Death tarjoaa kyllä mahdollisuuksia siihen. Aina voi toivoa, mutta ovathan nuo biisit jo niin soitettuja.

Haba · Post by **Haba** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 21:56

Jep, kyllähän tämä nyt näyttää taas uhkaavasti siltä, että ne puhkisoitetut biisit saadaan sisälletettyä mukaan sinne settilistaan. Ei niissä nyt keikalla niin paljon vikaa mielestäni ole, mutta kun tarjolla olisi paljon herkullisempia ja harvinaisempiakin kappaleita, niin...

Respektiä tulisi muuten Maidenille aika paljon, jos "uskaltaisivat" jättää tuolta dvd-part2-kiertueelta näitä hittejä pois. Joku optimisti voisi ajatella, että ei sen Live After Deathin mukanaolon tarvitse tarkoittaa niiden iänikuisten biisien sisällyttämistä settiin, voisihan se tarkoittaa myös lavarakennelmia, Powerslave-biisin vetämistä tyyliin ´84, jne...Mutta, kannattaako olla tässä asiassa se optimisti

Stratocaster · Post by **Stratocaster** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 22:13

^ Niin, voisihan sitä ajatella, että keikalla saattaa kuulua Powerslave, Children Of The Damned, 22 Acacia Avenua yms. herkkua, mutta itse en ainakaan usko. Jos settilista olisi 16 biisiä, oletetaan siinä olevan 5 pakollista hittiä. Hallowed, Trooper, RTTH, The Number Of The Beast, Sanctuary. Jäljellä 11 biisiä. Powerslavelta 2 Minutes To Midnight, Aces High, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner ja Powerslave. Somewherelta Heaven Can Wait, Wasted Years. Seventhiltä Evil That Men Do, Clairvoyant, Can i Play With Madness, SSOASS. Sitten bonuksena vaikka Damned.

Mielestäni tuollainen voisi olla odoteltavissa.

Makal · Post by **Makal** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 22:28

^

Aika pettymys settilista olisi tuommoinen. Toivon, että tajuisivat soittaa SIT:ltä jotain muutakin kuin Wasted Years ja Heaven Can Waitin.

Höyste · Post by **Höyste** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 22:39

^^ Jos nyt tarkkoja ollaan niin Sanctuaryy ei kuulla koska sitä ei oo Ladilla, mutta sen paikalle tulisi luultavasti RUnning Free...

Strato, unohdit myöskin itse Rautaneidon..

Stratocaster · Post by **Stratocaster** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 22:48

^ Oho.

No, pointti oli se, että Maiden tuskin ikinä soittaa niitä harvinaisimpia fanien todellisia suosikkeja. Toki saa toivoa, mutta uskoisin, että sanomani kaltainen setti olisi tulossa. SSOASS kun tulisi...

-Ossi- · Post by **-Ossi-** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 22:56

Mä en ymmärrä tota että toi LAD on otettu tohon mukaan ja syyhän on tietysti se että ne vanhant hitit voidaan soittaa. Maidenin ukot kumminkin tietää että ura on jo loppupuolella niin miksi ei voisi soittaa jotain vähän spesiaalimpaa settiä.

Jaa, kyllä ne ainakin minun VHS:llä tuon soittavat. Sanctuaryn siis.

*pulkkinen* · Post by ***pulkkinen*** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 23:46

Sinänsä on ihan hyvä että LAD on mukana koska, minulla ei sitä vhs:nä ole enkä aio hankkia kun on tuo golden years dvd tulossa. kyllähän LAD kuuluu oleellisena osana kultaisiin vuosiin, neljä loppuun myytyä iltaa long beach areenalla, tai jotain.

Mutta se on kyllä tosiaankin huonompi juttu että taas varmaan tullaan kuulemaan niitä kuluneita hittejä. Mutta eihän sitä koskaan tiedä mitä siellä tullaan silloin soittamaan.

Peke · Post by **Peke** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 0:40

Elikäs ton tiedon pohjalta seuraava DVD: History Of Maiden Part II sisältäneen:

Live After Death ´85
Maiden England ´88
Live In Philadelphia 87 (SIT TOUR)

EXTRAS:
Behind The Iron Curtain
Haastattelut

Kiertueen settilista sitten onkin arvoitus.... uskoisin, että 7th tour-lista on pohjana, johon kylvetään Powerslaven biisejä ja muutama extra-herkku SIT levyltä

Tosin pelkään, että SIT jää tässä keikkasetissä paitsioon.

Mun arvaus:

Moonchild
The Evil That Men Do
Infinite Dreams
Can I Play With Madness
Wasted Years
The Clairvoyant
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
2 Minutes To Midnight
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Guitar solo (Walkin On The Air)
Heaven Can Wait
Stranger In A Strange Land
Powerslave
Iron Maiden

encores:
Aces High
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Run To The Hills

Tässä nyt selvästikin pitää erottaa seuraavan History DVD:n sisältö ja sitä seuraavan kiertueen sisältö, koska ei mitenkään mene 1:1.

Paddy · Post by **Paddy** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 1:19

^Aika kova, jos neljä ekaa 7th sonilta. Kyllä sieltä tulee toisena tai kolmantena joku Trooper kuitenkin. Ja sehän nyt on selvää ettei SITiltä tule muuta kuin Heaven Can Wait ja Wasted Years, hyvällä mäihällä Stranger In A Strange Land. Sea Of Madness tosin voisi olla kiertueen "Another Life".

Aces Highta ei kiinnosta kuulla. Sen tilalle perkele Caught Somewhere In Time. Vaikka keikan alottajaks ja introks End titles from Blade Runner. Silloin olisi hauskaa.

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:02

No jos minäkin nyt jotain omaa favourit-settilistaa koittaisin vääntää:

Aces High
Infinite Dreams
Can I Play With Madness
The Trooper (Uskoisin niiden soittavan.

Poiskin kyllä voisi jättää)
2 Minutes To Midnight
Wasted Years (Tämän haluaisin livenä kuulla, levyn parhaita omasta mielestäni)
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
The Evil That Men Do
Heaven Can Wait
Powerslave
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (Aina saa toivoa)
Iron Maiden

Encore:
Stranger in A Strange Land
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Alexander The Great

(Jos ei niin, sitten se typical Run To The Hills)

Kaiken kaikkiaan tuo DVD kyllä pitäisi hankkia. Maidenin parhaimmat levyt (SIT, SSOASS)
sekä Powerslave, ynnä vielä Live After Death. Kyllä nannalta kuulostaa. Early Daysia en hankkinut, mutta tämä kyllä on jo miltei pakko.

QazKFD · Post by **QazKFD** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:07

Biiseistä voi kyllä aina spekuloida, mutta itse olen enemmän kuin tyydytetty mikäli edes yksi neljästä seuraavasta on joukossa; Moonchild, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Caught Somewhere in Time, Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Yksikin tulee, niin Maiden ylittää kyllä itsensä.

Tulipas dissaavaan sävyyn, no, ehkä aihettakin.

Mercenary · Post by **Mercenary** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 12:37

Ettei menisi ihan offtopiciksi, settilistaspekulointia, yms voi jatkaa täällä:

Bruce's comment about Iron Maiden (album)
"The production is very bad, the guitars sounds bad, but the songs are excellent. That's a shame Martin Birch was not with the band on that moment."

Bruce's comment about Killers
"After Maiden came out Killers, and this one, is one of my favourites. It has a great vibe, and the groove in some songs is excellent. A legend on the band's career."

Bruce's comment about Number of the beast
"The Number Of The Beast is the classic which put Maiden on whole world. What can i say? Classics and more classics on this work and is my first album with the band."

Bruce's comment about Piece of Mind
"The Piece Of Mind I think better than The Number Of The Beast, but it came out after The Number Of The Beast, will be always remembered as second album which made Maiden blow up on whole world. This is the way the things happen, and we can't change anything. My prefered Maiden album."

Bruce's comment about Powerslave
"On the sequence of Piece Of Mind, we recorded Piece Of Mind and this album bring best regards, remembrances, of the tour. The tour was phenomenal, the band was in the best moment playing live. The album itself, has some good songs, but not like Piece Of Mind. I think, we were little bit tired of studio, recording album after album, with no time off."

Bruce's comment about Somewhere In Time
"Somewhere In Time is a very solid album, and which we started to use keyboards and some sinth, stuff which, lots of metal bands already used for a long time. Some songs i feature like wasted years and stranger.... But i didn't write none of them for this album"

Bruce's comment about Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
"Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, I think that a lot my favorite maiden songs came from this album. The title-track é expectacular. I remember the tour that was very nice too, the stage was really well done based on the album´s cover art".

Bruce's comment about No Payer For The Dying
"No Prayer for the Dying: It´s a funny album, but that didn´t have a good repercussion. I wanted to leave tha band and that´s what I ended up doing after No Prayer For The Dying. [Roadiecrew: No, you still recorded Fear Of The Dark before leaving the band!] Bruce Dickinson: Damned!(Laughs) But I should have left after No Prayer For The Dying.(Laughs)"

Bruce's comment about Fear Of The Dark
"A great album, but we didn´t have a good tour. Apart from that, one more Iron Maiden classic came from there, the song Fear Of The Dark, being frequently on our concerts".

Bruce's comment about Brave New World
"I left the band and then returned with one of my favorite Iron Maiden albuns that is Brave New World! I think it´s really a great work. It sounds new, an Iron Maiden off course in the same style as always but sounds like something new."

Bruce's comment about Rock In Rio
"It's brilliant! On Live After Death we had lots of overdubs and on Rock in Rio we didn't use this kind of stuff. The people don't believe, but is just listen to TV version and compare. A show forever in our memories!"

Bruce's comment about Dance Of Death
"I think Dance Of Death is very good and like very much of the song Paschendale. The work is interesting anf full of adventures. It doesn't sound like the other Maiden albums, because of that, I'm very happy with this work."

Bruce's comment about Death On The Road
"After Dance Of Death came out another live album. The Death On The Road, which is a souvenir of the last tour. Nothing, beyond that. The DVD will be very good too!"

Edit: Vain mainituista albumeista kysyttiin.
