RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

Also :

In watching the videos it’s clear that they are now making the focus of the show be on the massive screen and the animations, and the band themselves are barely moving anymore, even Steve and Janick.

They are likely playing to a click track since the video is such a massive part of the production now. Be interesting to compare a few shows later on and see if the tempos are all identical, that’s the giveaway to bands using a click.

With their age, a new drummer, and a new video setup I wouldnt be surprised if they are using a click. I dont think itll be permanent

So this was greatest hits setlist for larger audience. It seems they just made set of most streamed songs online without Evil and Wasting love

Shame that they did not play some songs that they were not already played in reunion era.

My biggest problem is that they overhyped production. They discovered big screens and animitaion in 2025. Wow, other bands are doing that for years already.

I was writing about that years back, how I would like to see Eddie worlds in big screen and they are fantastic, but Bruce dont make it such a big deal.

It was about time!! It look gorgeous and they get less tired a

Honestly disappointed with the setlist. Feels like they’re doing a Killers & Powerslave world tour. Really expected some deep cuts but it’s mostly the same ol mainstream tracks.

Which, again, is kind of the whole reason for this tour

• Wrathchild

has it ever been on a compilation?

Buddy, its first release was on a compilation.

 

[gazda]

Legacy, Ed Hunter and Early days tours had the best setlist.

 

[Iron Lurker]

Murders, Killers, Powerslave, RIme, SSOASS, Phantom all in the same set. Works for me! only missing Infinite Dreams, but that was a longshot

As it was 70% of their touring since reunion.

 

[gazda]

I bet they play Aces only because of spitfire combat animation.

Not what I meant and you know it. Metal For Muthas LOL, who cares about that.

Intro and first song from the second row.

Not sure I agree to that. If you’re doing a tour to celebrate your golden era, you gotta get out some of the deep cuts or stuff that wasn’t played live in a while. Honestly I’m still bummed out by the fact that they just have 1 song from POM. Easily could have brought out Revelations, Die with your boots on, still life.

If they did a pro-shot of every tour like they used to do on BluRay (or put the shows up on streaming platforms like Netflix, if they want to join us here in the modern world) people would be less apt to film everything. First night aside.

Nah. Metallica often upload pro shot songs to YouTube from pretty much every gig they do when they tour. So they have camera everywhere filming professionally and it's still a sea of phones in front of James and co in the crowd

Holy shit balls!!!!! This was goosies all the way!!! Cant wait to see em in Vienna.

The ice on the screens is cool.

Slightly tedious sitting through two epics with three minute bass breakdown sections in the middle, both this and Mariner grind to an absolute halt in the middle. Suggest just doing one of them would be better for the flow of the show.

Man, Steve took a double dose of the black hair dye. Should have shared half with Simon.

I didn't understand why they played both these epics either to be honest. I love both but feel only one should be in a set. Again I'd swap out Seventh Son for Infinite Dreams and something else cool.

 

[Meliegree]

Encore for that show was like warm beer after great dinner. I’m dissapointed that they didnt played anything from NPFTD. Promos were saying about first nine albums. Thank god main set is good. And Simon, what a drummer.

Devil is in the details. Choosing from the first 9 albums doesn't mean at least a song from each of them, just that the selection pool would be from 9 first albums.

Haha!

 

[Maidenhell]

Sorry to say that Im happy I sold my tickets. This has to be the most overhyped yet most dissapointing setlist ever. And 3 epics is just waste of time. Rime is more than enough. Instead of 7th son,FoTD and Phantom we could have had rarely played hits like Infinite Dreams, Be Quick, Still Life, Sea of madness and No prayer for the dying. Oh well at least I can listen to Raphael Mendes and his band playing the deep cuts lol. This is just my opinion Im happy for all of ya who likes this set!

 

[MindRuler]

After all a pretty great setlist with some songs they didn´t play live in a while.
Very happy with Phantom, Murders, Powerslave, Rime, SSOASS and Hallowed all together in 1 set! The encore is abit pale but what the hell: I´m looking forward to the Helsinki gig so much!

Up the Irons!

 

[Meliegree]

Encore will be a great moment to rush back to the parking before the crowd.

With the Fan club message I really thought we'd get Boots in the encore.
