I sometimes have fantasies where I’m one of those obscenely rich oil barons and I could pay millions of dollars to fly an artist in to play my birthday party. Maiden, 20k die hard Maiden nerds and a lot of money. I wonder what that price would be….

I am not wishing it! :) But this convo would be MUCH different if we were dealing with someone with that type of personality.

All this talk of Nicko is that much harder because he is so flipping likable! In fact the entire band (but especially Nicko) are lovable in their own way. Why can’t our favorite band have a Dave Mustaine?

I should thank you. (And will) I’ve listened to the song three times now over the last day or so with your comment in mind and it really helps! It’s interesting how your preconceived notions can taint a listening experience. Now when those pesky mushy guitars come in I just hum the melody. I...

I’ve seen all those tours- and tbh the only one that really sticks out was AMOLAD just because the setlist was so specific. That was an amazing show! But they sort of run together tbh. Maiden being maiden in my book.

DOTC- I just dislike the mushy guitars that come in around 2:20. Like there is no riff and it’s just filler. I think the bones of the song are great- but every time I listen to it that lack of riff just kills it for me.

They would surly do NA and SA together right? Being in the U.S I’m not liking your assessment of the situation! Lol. Next summer is NA / SA- right? …. Right?

I REALLY hope they don’t change their set just for N.A! At this point in their career they shouldn’t pander to an audience like that. I hope they stick to their guns and have a more ‘we’re Maiden, where the fuck you been?’ attitude. If they wheel out RTTH and Number- I would be disappointed in...

I was a bit younger (10) and the year was much longer ago (89) and I swiped a Powerslave cassette out of my older sisters boyfriend’s car. I just experienced life differently after that. Cheers! I trust you will have fun. Up the Irons!

For sure- once the videos hit YouTube. Yikes! (I am one of those people tbh- but it’s all for fun and excitement. Once you are there and seeing them live, those little details don’t matter!)

Man- I am excited for this setlist! But then… the long wait until Tuesday to see if there are any changes.

Maiden Academics Unite!! (With or without hair- as long as you have a tweed jacket with elbow pads you’re in!)

I say no way. Priest isn’t the same imo. This is Steve’s band. I would prefer the go out with the current fella- any subs (save maybe Nicko) would just be a bummer. No way would Smith go through the hassle of a ‘handover’ what would be the benefit? All the maiden baggage and expectations of...

I know all the slots for epics are prolly filled- but I would absolutely love to see A Thin Line Between Love and Hate stuck at about halfway through the show. Such a beautiful song and it would be so cool to hear it live. Sorta where FTGGG was on the LOTB. (It would also give the posers a...

I say bring back the tights / spandex from Live After Death. Bruce (and lil bruce) can go full mic stand and all.
