I'm a Maiden fanatic yet I know they aren't perfect and I don’t fawn over everything they do. I'm sure you all are talking about this dude I put on ignore a few days ago. Ignore is your friend!

So Maiden playing in Wacken in 2026 rests solely on you :D

At PowerTrip every song was a "deep cut" to that crowd :p

I have to resign myself to this. I have a few friends who are artists trying to make a living and I'm concerned for them.

Here you go boys! Air all your grievances here. A special place just for you. :D

It was criticized as well. "Where's Trooper?! Where's this, where's that?" They also played the entire AMOLAD album on one tour and they took a lot of shit from that. too.

:lol: Yes, I would be up for any tour featuring Senjutsu

Or because of the Churchill speech and visuals they thought it was a cool choice for the first encore

I would be up for that!

I'm cool with the merch. I like the Wrathchild shirt actually. It's different style from the usual

I don't believe he would deliberately dupe fans into thinking they were going to play songs they never played before knowing that they wouldn't. In fact it was different socials that took that quote and declared Maiden would play songs never done before.

^^^^^THIS. Folks hear what they want to hear and run with it. Then end up being disappointed.

Most fans rate the 90s albums near the bottom of their catalogue so I understand why they only played FOTD

Encore is good one for the masses/casuals though. Seeing the beginning of the graphics for Aces I was hoping it was Tailgunner. Again I don't mind that they played Aces but it should have been the opener. At least it's being played at the proper tempo.

Fans get in their minds what they want the show/tour to be and if it doesn't match up some will complain. They hear "rare and deep cut" tracks and think of songs they've never played before or only once. Well - Murders, Killers, Phantom, 7th Son, and yes Rime are rare and/or deep cuts that...
