One word: apprehensive Though the mix and production on TXF and VXI was terrible, the songwriting inconsistent, and Bayley's range limited, those albums were an improvement over FOTD and NPFTD. I was ecstatic about Smith returning. Harris is the band's backbone, but Smith is also a fantastic...

Runner up runner ups: New Frontier Blood Brothers (En Vivo!) El Dorado (En Vivo!) Rainmaker (DOTR) These Colours Don't Run Dream of Mirrors Satellite 15... The Final Frontier (En Vivo!) If Eternity Should Fail The Nomad The Mercenary (RIR) Notes: There is some fluctuation. Songs in the top 10...

My top 25, currently: For the Greater Good of God Dance of Death (En Vivo!) The Red and the Black Lord of Light The Book of Souls The Legacy When the Wild Wind Blows Starblind Empire of the Clouds Brave New World Paschendale (DOTR) Isle of Avalon The Alchemist The Great Unknown (TBOSLC)...

Bought The X Factor the day it came out. Found the mix and production lacking, but the songwriting was a step up from the previous couple records (which were mostly terrible to mediocre, though there are a few great songs, the highlight being Fear of the Dark, which ranks amongst their best)...

As long as they don't drop For the Greater Good of God, The Clansman, Sign of the Cross, and Where Eagles Dare, I'll be happy (hopefully they keep Flight of Icarus in the set as well).

Fantasy future setlist of 17 songs that have not been played live, or that I haven't heard live: Caught Somewhere in Time Remember Tomorrow Montségur When Two Worlds Collide The Alchemist Childhood's End Purgatory To Tame a Land The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner Genghis Khan Flash of...

Yes.

Supposedly no more USA shows are being added in the current schedule. I'm hoping for a second leg with a concert in MA or CT.

Thanks for the offer! We got tickets already, so I'm all set. This concert is almost 300 miles away, but with no shows in New England, it was this or pay scalper prices for NYC (which is also a haul). Will be my 8th Iron Maiden concert since 1991 (and the 3rd country I'll have seen them...

Anyone know the Facebook or LiveNation pre-sale codes for the Montreal show? According to http://www.evenko.ca/html/tickets/ironmaiden2016/presale-en.html, those start this morning (while the fan club pre-sale started a couple days ago). Yep, I'm regretting not having joined the fan-club.

I refreshed ticketmaster for 30 minutes and gave up. Tried again a couple hours later, and again just now. Was about to give in and pay $132/ticket (more than double face value) at one of the sanctioned scalper sites, but then a $27/ticket service fee popped up. That irritated me enough to...

I watched the countdown until Noon.

I was logged into TicketMaster right at 12:00:00 and attempted to buy tickets (of any type and quantity) for the New York show, but none are available. I'm sure not all of the tickets legitimately sold through the pre-sales... I'm guessing they sold batches to various 3rd party scalping sites...

Shortly after dropping "Tears of a Clown", I also removed "The Man Of Sorrows", "If Eternity Should Fail", and "Speed Of Light" from my playlist. Since then, I've continued listening to the rest of the new album exclusively, something I typically do with new Rush and Maiden albums for a few...

Is it confirmed that there will be general admission tickets in NYC?
