I haven't posted on here in a very long time, for the tour this year I did 3 dates (Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds). Having seen Maiden 7 times before since 2003 I knew what to expect in terms of performance levels and stage show, but I was still amazed. The setlist was great for people like...

For those who didnt know, Metallica headlined glasto this year to a remarkably pro metal audience (even the arm chair viewers) which as led to people guessing who will headline next year. Well according to bookies, Iron Maiden are the favourites even though Brucie has said many times the band...

I agree with you when you say Metallica are becoming more of a nostalgia act, but at least when Maiden do these history tours theyre sandwiched between albums. Metallica did 2008-10 World Magnetic tour, followed by 2011 Vacation tour (Big Four Tour), followed by 2012 Black Album Tour, followed...

Im not going to deny certain Maiden songs dont sound like other Maiden songs, theyve released 15 albums its pretty hard not to copy yourself. Same goes for Rush, i mean Headlong flight off the Clockwork Angels album has virtually the same riff as Bastille day from Carress of Steel. Same goes for...

If Bruce never left I think Maiden wouldnt of released as many albums. I don't think Maiden would of released albums like BNW, DoD, AMOLAD and TFF if Bruce never left, I think Maiden would of toured im similar vein as Metallica. Maiden needed the new albums to renovate their style and add many...

I apologize about my posts i use my phone sometimes paragraphs come through, im sorry when they dont. My point was about the whole "wanna hear rare metallica" bit, i used Maiden songs to explain it better thus mention songs like 2am. A whole setlist filled with songs played rarely or never...

I think with stuff like "what the best songs are" its very debatable especially with a requests show. First off, not everyone who buys the ticket will vote so imagine if your going wanting the classics and end up with St Anger in its entirety or the vast majority are songs from after the first 5...

When i saw Megadeth they played 18 songs including Cold Sweat that included a 10 minute delay (dunno what reason Dave gave), was a great gig was in June however i have no idea who or if they had support.

They did Remember Tomorrow which is almost on one of the setlists jsut cant remember which. Its a good cover though, Id like to hear them play it live so hope it does get onto one of the sets.

Im gonna vote for a few alternatives, i know which 17 songs im gonna vote for. Im not gonna throw in the alternatives just because though, id still rather hear songs like Orion or Kthulu over songs like Astronomy or Human. I hope people start upping No Leaf Clover though, i might be one of the...

Going to get my Sonisphere tickets next year hopefully the third headliner will be announced by then, Metal Hammer are rumoring Sabbeth, ACDC or Foo Fighters atm. Anyone else going to Knebworth soni? As or the cliches, any great live band today falls into the metal show cliche. Maiden during The...

I think fan vote tours are always a bit dodgey. I mean how do people know what the vast majority vote for when only a minority of voters actually say what they voted for on forum, plus if its kept secret it doesnt really matter because no one can say the vast majority voted for (song) because...

I read this friday when it was published, at first i was confused as to how this as worked as to my knowledge (correct me if im wrong) do any of Maiden actually live in UK long enough to pay tax? But the Iron Maiden LLP is a London Stock Exchange trading company, meaning that the Iron Maiden...

I think over on the Metallica forums, people just want the songs that havent been played to be played. Id much rather have a setlist consisting of great songs than songs that havent been played. Theres a reason why they havent been played and also the songs tallica havent played arent great...

For those of you interested in this Metallicabyrequest stuff the site to see which songs are leading in votes for each gig is http://www.metallicabyrequest.com/. That Hellfest line up is very interesting, lots of great bands. I wonder if Sonisphere is going to get Black Sabbeth and Soundgarden...
