Same here. Always thought the production was flat yet polished sounding as well.I never thought it was anything really unique; love his playing on that album though
Badlands rehearsal before the 1989 tour. You can hear how loud Jake's stage volume is. Amazing he is not fully deaf by now. Dave Friedman says Jake likes to play loud. I see him in 2019 and he was loud, his Friedman Smallbox was on 10...
The JCM800 starting having issues so he switched to this JMP.
To me it’s way nastier on the gain level . I do like itFantastic album although some people do not like the chorus and polished 80's sound of it. I think the tone was more or less the same as always, his old NMV plexis pushed with an OD-1 and JB (or JB2 possibly). Cabs who knows, could have been G1265's or even G12T75's at that point. but I think the JBL is also associated with him.
If it was JCM800's he would have run them the same way, cranked and then the OD-1 pushing it.
Right here. Man he looks haggardHas Jake ever been seen with a friedman JEL? Any footage of him playing one? Any record of him talking about it? I am usually out of the loop, but I don’t recall him hyping his sig amp at all.

Yep, the Di'Anno era stuff sounds better and better with each passing new Maiden release. The best it ever got with Dickinson was Peace of Mind.On a side note... Iron Maiden is like a fine wine.. they just get better with age.
I laugh because I basically agree with you. There’s good stuff with Dickinson through the 80’s but the Maiden I listen to kind of ends at PowerslaveYep, the Di'Anno era stuff sounds better and better with each passing new Maiden release. The best it ever got with Dickinson was Peace of Mind.
I started with Seventh Son of a Seventh Son as a kid and worked backwards. Once I hit the Di'Anno I couldn't care if I never heard that operatic harpy Dickinson again. He's a good singer but his voice grates on me. Di'Anno is raw, aggressive, in your face, like a good Plexi. So much better. The lyrics and thematics got too corny with Dickinson. Like some kind of kid's medieval fantasy novel stuff. Yuck.I laugh because I basically agree with you.

I just don't get into the theatrics, maybe that's it. Gimme the music and forget the on-stage fluff. The masks and pyrotechnics. It's like Floyd. The first thing out of everyone's mouth is "they have an AMAZING light show". Big deal. *shrugsI have to disagree,
DiAnno has his place in the Maiden history books, but Dickinson took Maiden to a whole different level all the way through 7th Son. I don't mind the theatrical side of their live shows, Eddie was done kinda lame though, they should have him made a fully remote controlled head banging mummy robot and had him scare the shit out of people instead of having them nod and smile and think to themselves, "bless your heart".
I saw them on every tour through 7th Son, some of them multiple times and venues. Dickinson had total command at that stretch, but Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and the Powerslave tours stood out the most for different reasons.
Was not fond of the processed Gallien Kruger live tones, never heard them say why they decided to run those for a bit.
A real wrathchild.Di'Anno was raw. Street level. Like a dude I would've grown up with and gotten my ass kicked by at a bonfire party
Photoshopped for sure.I will add that the woman's ass on the album cover is a 10/10
Ultimate Sin is the Ultimate display of great songs let down by production.
I agree.. except the song Bark at the Moon itself is one of my favorite songs ever.Jake really came into his own on Ultimate Sin. It slays Bark at the Moon IMO. YMMV.
