Saw them two weeks ago in Phoenix, AZ. Almost flew to KC (where I grew up) to catch the show again there. Both bands were great when I saw them! Been seeing Maiden since 1984, and they sound particularly good on this tour. I've never heard them sound bad when I've seen them, but I've seen them sound great and I've seen them sound average. Don't know what it is, but they've sounded great every night on this tour, judging from the YouTube videos. Maiden still has it without a doubt. Still putting on a show that stomps all over a lot of bands who are 1/2 their age. Pretty amazing. Also dropped an additional $200 for the Trooper Ale VIP pre-show party and had a great time while getting to meet some new people. (I'm a fanboy for Maiden like that. Lol Plus, the bag of Maiden merch that came with the ticket to the party was pretty sweet too!) I'd love to see Maiden using the Fractal products, but that's gonna be a tough nut to crack. They're pretty firmly tied to their tube rigs and have been since forever...minus the brief love affair they had with the GK 250ML in '86-'88. I was familiar with a bit of Ghost's music prior to the show, and I dug what I'd heard. So I was looking forward to seeing them live. All I can say is "WOW"! Great live show! I will definitely see them when they come around again. Like Jeries suggested, I'd bet that the band (as a company) bought the Fractals. So I'd guess that all the tones you're hearing live from Ghost (which were GREAT, by the way) are Fractal generated. These ARE different nameless ghouls than in the past, but they sounded really damn good. Great energy too, which was something that was missing a little from previous ghouls. (Incidentally, the current bass player is a woman. And she KILLS it live. She was the bass player for all female Zep tribute band, Lez Zeppelin.) I had a blast at the show! Best time I've had at a concert in quite some time. If you're into Maiden and/or Ghost, don't miss this show! Up the Irons!!
