RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

If Steve brought than turd in for Brave New World rather than Virtual XI I'm quite sure Bruce wouldn't have gone along with 58 chorus repetitions and told him to get stuffed

Or he could have said: “Why don’t we repeat ‘Rain on the graves’ endlessly instead? :P

Joking aside, there is a fair amount of repetition on Brave New World but Bruce’s voice manages to make it more interesting.
 
Rain on the graves isn't repeated that much, is it? It didn't bother me at all.

It was the fact that he repeated the same line several times more than anything else.

For fuck’s sake Bruce, we know it can rain a lot in England, but be more imaginative:

Heavy rain on the graves
More than drizzle on the graves
Getting soaked standing there
It’s just rain, rain, rain
 
I Think on virtual xi they reached the top.

Nothing can beat the ad nauseam repetition of

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

and

Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger

(Hope Steve is not reading this so he does not get any silly ideas!).
 
Does anybody know why there were only in one location iron maiden beer cup ? I collect them and no cups in my two live events :/ and on pictures i also cannot see them in the uk gigs.
In London they sol the Aces High cup (friday in the Dive Bar) and Saturday the Run for Your Lives Eddie cup in the Dive bar also. They didn't sell IM cups inside the stadium
 
Nothing can beat the ad nauseam repetition of

Don't you think I'm a savior?

Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger

(Hope Steve is not reading this so he does not get any silly ideas!).
I don't mind the latter. I think Eyes/Stranger and Educated Fool are two underrated songs.

For me the two most puzzling musical choices in their entire catalog

Seems like most of the songs on BNW, DOD and FF have endless chorus repetitions, wish he had nixed them.

Many puzzlers around that time.

Hey Steve the bands not doing too well really but they've got two genuinely good songs on Virtual XI, Futureal and Clansman. Futureal is the obvious single, it might win back a few fans who didn't care for The X Factor.

What's that? Angel and The Gambler is the first single? Oh.
The studio version of it is ten minutes with infinite choruses? Oh.
Don't look to the eyes of the stranger does the same thing? Oh.
You're producing again? Oh.
You're tying it into football somehow? Oh.
Still not going to tune down for your baritone singer on the subsequent tour? Oh no.
