Aces High has gone from being very much missed (no live appearances after 1985 until 1999, and then vanished again for nearly a decade).
Sorry for being lazy, but people keep bringing up To Tame a Land. What's the clue for that one?
No clue honestly. Maybe the Dune films that are currently very popular
When an unexpected setlist was promised? ''Setlist for the ages'' is ambiguous. The production is more curious than ever.I'm AFRAID Iron Maiden fails us on the promises of an unexpected setlist and super-production.
He changed his mind about Icarus, so why not again. It was played. And it's a popular 90's song. Also, they played Caught Somewhere In Time!
I don't think he really did though - Bruce or someone mentioned that FoI on LOTB was somewhere in the middle as a compromise tempo wise, not as slow as it was on the album but nowhere near as fast as they played it live back in the 80s.
Making the set around the album covers worlds would probably be the best and unique approach (although we had History throwback tours). They didn't do it in 1999 and LOTB to be different. Some little tweaks in the stage structure is curious.
They want to make it different, so they need something new and not just backdrops. 3D stuff, animated clips, why not.My guess is that it'll still look like a Maiden show we've grown to love, but more in the vein of... you know, some of the "I wish they did something like this..." kind of fantasy stage sets that often popped up in fan forums.You know, things that don't quite skyrocket the production costs, but utilize the existing show elements to a bit more grandeur extent and add something new too. Whatever it'll be, I hope we'll see more physical, three-dimensional structural props, which could (if done subtly) mask the sleek and "boxy" shape of the good-old stage structure a little bit.
They'll need those features big time to create the vibe. Multiple screens will replace everything.
Still Life more likely than Sun And Steel, idk now. I really hope they won't favor Children or Afraid instead of another rare slow song. Every set needs some ''deep'' cuts. They know that and it would be fresh for them. The point of this tour is to have song from all 9 albums.
For me, the opener for this tour should be one of these:
I like to think that this time not.
Wow. Maybe someone could say something then.
100% Still Life is more likely than Sun and Steel. Still Life was played in the 80s at least. Sun and Steel is not Alexander.
So from Fear they will play only title song??? I don't thing so Be Quick is fan favorite and metal community loves that song too. For many people second best opener after Aces High....and no, Aces High will not open Run for your lives tour
I felt the same way about Can I Play with Madness and The Prisoner for FP tour. Great songs, especially Prisoner, but Sea of Medness or Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner would have been better choices.
Yes, I felt like that too. The good thing is CIPWM won't return again for this tour.
100%.
