RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026


MAJOR fuckup by Bruce after the solos (started singing immediately) Adrian was trying his hardest to get the band to follow him, but was only partly successful (Simon did and I think Dave did at the end). Janick seemed completely lost. Explains the crash landing at the end.
This video is shorted. The end is even worst the do twice the ending and they go to the drum set steve and bruce to tell simon to stop. There is no video from that and the mariner part but with adrian face and look at steve and bruce

Btw the first part of the show mistakes apart bruce was sounding amazing. Then like they lowered the mic? And at the end he sounded tired.

Yeah. But it was Bruce who caused the chain reaction that resulted in a trainwreck. It seems like at first Simon followed Adrian, who tried to get the band to follow the vocals, but somewhere in the middle he started to follow the bass. Meanwhile, Steve clocked what H was trying to do and followed him. So, the rythm section missed eachother and Killers crashed at the end.

Meanwhile Janick just chugs the low E string with a face of absolute confusion.

The solution is to give Adrian a talkback mic. That way he can communicate to the people on IEMs what to do. Steve (who is the only instrumentalist not on IEMs) will follow shortly as all other instruments will be in unison. The unwritten rule in these scenarios is, follow the vocals.
 
Wow, Simon sounds bad there.
I’d love to see a full video of killers that gets the start of the song too. It sounds like either a.) Simon counted off the wrong tempo or b.) someone (Steve?) started dragging behind the tempo and Simon followed. It sounds really slow
 
I'll never understand how Bruce can sing for one of the biggest bands in the world, yet he can't sort out his timing issues. This has been consistently going on for years at this point.
 
Something else I’ve noticed in the couple of videos from this year: Simon moved his ride cymbal to a higher, more Nicko-ish spot.

Edit: I’m not 100% certain of this, I’d need to see a better photo to compare

I wish he'd tighten it down a bit, it has so much wash it tends to get lost in the mix rather than cutting through in uptempo songs like AH. That and the toms being tuned low are probably the two things I've picked up that really make the sound muddier overall than it should be.

He doesn't want to use in ears and it's easier to get lost. He does that a lot, especially when he's at his platform

He isnt that bad when touring with his solo band. They should do a meeting about this topic. Maybe the click simon is following is the reason, he is really slow in certain moments at the songs during the setlist.

I think its not the guitar trio because you can notice they keep it tight most of the time, but the drum is a little bit behind. If the drum isnt also tight, it can ruin everything else.
 
I would say that in the first part of the show mistakes apart i saw a bruce dickinson at 2008 levels. And he knews becuase he was happy when he reached the high notes. And he was upset after the first chorus of aces when he failed.
 
Maybe because they got a completely different drumming background?
No,no they sound "clear" and less rough. The dont sound like 1999 to 2017 maybe. Someone said here maybe they are using some digital "thing" that i dont know the name and im starting to think that could be. They sound like helloween.
