For me, A Matter of the Beast Summer Tour 2007 was a disappointment at the time. I was expecting five songs off NOTB. But over time, the setlist has grown to be one of my absolute favourites.

Maiden touring two albums at the same time has been done twice. A Matter of the Beast Summer Tour celebrated the 25th anniversary of The Number of the Beast. The concept was pretty exciting, they planned to perform five songs from that album and five from their latest album A Matter of Life and...

Agree. Both him and Bruce have been on and off about performing Maiden songs solo. I love the Smith/Kotzen albums, but it's really something else hearing Adrian sing the Maiden songs he wrote. Reach Out would be really cool!

Saturday night show in Sweden, fantastic! Hoping for a Maiden track or two, maybe something a bit rarer than Wasted Years like last time.

Justice of the Peace, Judgement Day and I Live My Way confirmed to be part of the set! The Blaze Bayley news letter reads: ”Blaze will play The X Factor album in full, along with the B sides and bonus tracks: Justice of the Peace, Judgement Day and I Live My Way. This will be the first time The...

Should have been an live album. That and the Early Days tour needs to be officially released.

It's a 10 for me. Beyond excited to have it back in Blaze's set later this year.

They've spend 42 years playing with a drummer hidden behind cymbals and toms, I'm sure a meter would not be a problem

I think it would have helped to have had Simon slightly heigher. Not like Mikkey Dee who is fully on top: But maybe just a meter or so higher. Right now he feels somewhat buried: Nicko obviously filled out the space well, but I think the design around the drum riser could use some...

Iron Maiden and compilation albums take me right back to the late summer of 1996, an exciting time. Best of the Beast was on the way, and there were rumours that tracks recorded in Gothenburg in 1995 might make the cut (in the end, only Afraid to Shoot Strangers did). Then came Virus in late...

You’d think that after all the years with Maiden Bayley’s financial future would have been secure. The X Factor reached the top 5 in Finland, Sweden, Italy, and Norway and even earned an honorable #147 on the Billboard 200. Virtual XI also performed decently in Europe and charted at #124 on the...

Simon’s playing is really growing on me. I especially enjoy his version of The Trooper, and while I mean no disrespect to Nicko, it’s a huge relief to hear it performed the way Simon plays it now, especially compared to the 2023–2024 versions.

Will they change a song or two? Or will they keep this setlist? That combo with Rime, Run and Seventh is incredible.
