Bruce himself isn't free that whole time, since he's recording his new solo album in early 2026.

I maintain the better approach would've been to replace "Doctor, Doctor" with perhaps a 5 minute edit of "Senjutsu" on tape (like Nightwish did on the Human :II: Nature tour with "Music"), and then blast onto the stage with "Stratego." Then they could've added a third song from Senjutsu in the...

Great points, especially about Eternity being a bonus song. I consider it a Maiden song for the same reasons, though I prefer Bruce's because--as much as people hate the production on Mandrake--at least it doesn't sound as horribly muddy as the BoS version does. It sounds pretty great to my...

If only Sonata was a B-Side. I'm quite sure Bruce and Roy had other songs rolling around in a drawer somewhere that would've made for a much stronger finish to the album. I blame Leana. :lol:

I like Welcome to the Pit as well, but to me it's the one that leaves the least impression. It has been growing on me in recent years, though. And yes, Toltec 7 Arrival is 100% cheating. :nonono:

Possibly, since 2017 100% did sell out. Rod even made a statement about how St. Paul surprised him and the band after having skipped the market for so long.

I've said it before, but the only way I can see them doing a '95 to present follow-up to this tour is by making it a hybrid tour like Future Past. New album + the best from the reunion era and the Blaze era (though they'll likely shaft the Blaze era like they did NPFTD). I agree about the...

Though I wish we'd get a Future Past live album, I'd almost prefer A Real Live One-styled compilation from it with the 2022 Senjutsu songs and the new songs from the tour/SiT songs that haven't been released live yet. That alone is enough to fill a single CD. This is the rough setlist I used for...

I was there and curious whether it did or not. Seemed there were empty seats dotted around, which gave me the impression it wasn't quite there at the time, but my memory might be a bit foggy on that, being a good few years ago now.

I'm guessing they'll stay relatively conservative in the States, same general venues. Here in Minneapolis/St. Paul, they sold out the Xcel Center on the Book of Souls tour (though they'd neglected the market since 2000, so there was built-up demand), didn't quite for Legacy, and Future Past was...

1. Lickin' the Gun 2. Fire 3. Dreamstate 4. Welcome to the Pit 5. Killing Floor 6. Believil 7. Sonata

I always thought Machine Men was the weak link on the album, but my last few listens I've been starting to really dig it. Nowadays, if there's such a thing as a "skip it" track on TCW, it's Killing Floor.

Happy Gilmore 2...well, here goes, and yep, everything you might've heard about it is true. Instead of trying to capture the humor and spirit of the first and offering a fresh spin on it, we got a 2-hour nostalgia bender powered by “hey, remember this, and this, and this” from the first. Not...

Yeah, no wonder he's trying to hit up new artists on Facebook for producing work. Might be a clue nobody established wants to work with him anymore.
