Wtf is happening?

Wow! Almost the early 90s lineup, unfortunately Janick's guitar is low in the mix for the solo. Some issues with Adrian's guitars? I doubt it. Toilet break?
By the way, is it just me or do they play the riff a little faster here, only with 2 guitars.

These French shows are jinxed.
Was it gear issues or is H ill? There's an Insta of him eating out in Lyon so maybe he got food poisoning? Or maybe it's the heat.

I just saw Joe Lazarus's (Joe Lazarus Drummer) recent Facebook post/repost in which he thanked - you're never going to believe who:
"New batch of drum covers incoming!! Starting off with this intense little so and so. Oceansize’s Build Us A Rocket Then...
Huge thanks to Tony Newton as always for recording me and making the drums sound immense, as always
"

So... it really does seem that the snake has slithered deep into the Harris inner circle. I think Newton is now at least a consigliere-type figure for the Maiden camp. Or perhaps he's simply very affordable to work with.
Either way, it looks like we fans* are doomed.
Run, you fools!

It's also worth noting that Joe's recent post was actually a repost from 2019. So he was already working with Tony Newton back then.
Which raises an important question: why repost it now?
Is he trolling all of us poor fans**? Is he deliberately stirring the pot?
What the hell?

Any info about him not playing during the tropper and RTTH at lyon?Adrian with a new vest that fits his new Lado very well.

If lyon encore was not filmed....this is by far bruce best aces high in this whole tour and the 2025 tour

At this point, Adrian is clearly preparing for a ZZ Top audition.Adrian with a new vest that fits his new Lado very well.
Gosh, the whole band's absolutely on one in this. I have to say it's been great to see Simon seems to have got himself comfortable with things really nicely this year, shaken any nerves completely, and does a damn solid job behind the Maiden kit now.
He was noticeably more confident/willing to add flair in Paris than he was in Amsterdam or in 2025 and I'm glad that's persisted. I thought he was doing a good job from day one in Budapest but he's definitely stepped it up this year.

Can't believe it... Aces Almost High!

He forgot to play the rhythm
Here is RTTH:
Aside from one high line in the chorus and no scream (why, Bruce?), one of the best (and probably the best we could hope for) Aces from the tour. Kudos, Bruce! They definitely filmed it.
As for the other encore songs: FOTD was fast enough right (the main stage screens look like were half off during it, unfortunately), while Wasted Years feels the same (not sure about Adrian's riff), which is good.

He just cant do it anymore. Better this way than those annoying vocal variations he usually does.
