According to Forostar, last November, there'll be five new songs of the album: The Final Frontier, El Dorado, Coming Home, The Talisman and When The Wild Wind Blows. Well, not entirely because I expected a 6th song.
I think WTWWB will be great live, but other than that, I'm not too satisfied. But they'll play what they'll play and I'm most likely going to enjoy it. Now if I just could get that voice screaming "Starblind!" and "Isle of Avalon!" out of my head...
This is why the AMOLAD tour ruled so much, as no new songs were left out. I think those 5 (TFF, El Dorado, Coming Home, Talisman, Wild Wind Blows) will make for good to great live songs though. I mean El Dorado, a rather decent song, was 10 times better live. As cool as Starblind and Isle of Avalon are, and they are my favorites by far, I just don't see them being good live songs.
My ideal Maiden set-list: Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Hooks In You Phantom Of The Opera ------------------------------ Phantom Of The Opera Hooks In You Phantom Of The Opera
Madness??? THIS IZ MAIDENFANNNNZZZZZZZZ!!!! *unleashes POTO* [hr][/hr] That was madness... [thousand_suns] I am to think dat you are rite, mtmccox. I think that POTO is Maiden's worst song, but it's the greatest song ever written. Even if Hooks In You is my favorite Maiden song, it can't save itself from Phantom's wrath, thus Hooks > Phantom[/thousand_suns] So, according to (fake) t_s response, Phantom is the greatest song ever written. .... ... [hr][/hr] I should have saved that post for madness forum... Oh, well... My final decision: Phantom is my 8th favorite Maiden song. Back to the topic: Isle Of Avalon and Starblind would sound really good live.
i know this is an old quote but I found Foro's post about the reason why it almost didn't make the album.
