YES!!!

Nice interview Ben. You got a lot of good questions in, plus they're going to do another metal album! :dio:

I guess I wasn't to worried about that though.

Excellent interview... I'm almost tempted to play World of Warcraft just to occasionally hang out with bandmembers online; but then I'd be playing World of Warcraft, so no.

Can't wait to hear the orchestral project, and, even more, their next album.

Great interview Ben ! Thanks !

I still don't agree on the fact that they only play 2-3 songs from the new album. In my opinion, it's like you don't have faith in your new material. I understand that every band has their own classics and fans expect to hear them but nonetheless, when you write a new album, I think the fans want to hear what it will sound like.

If you look at Maiden, the Rock In Rio setlist is probably the best example. The new songs blend well with the older ones and you get just enough classics to keep you satisfied. Because if you look at the new tour, playing the whole album live and only 4 classics...that is not enough and the fans go home feeling a bit "screwed".

Still, The point is, I would have loved to hear songs like "Turn the Page" and "This will never End" live and I came back home a bit disapointed...
