Odd for their habits now, but it's certainly better than doing a 3rd leg (usually with European shows). Maybe the 2027 plans play a role. This tour is special and their biggest, the demand is there and they didn't visit some European markets with the previous tour. They always start tours in...

I like both versions of Flash Of The Blade's chorus equally. But the studio one has an impact for sure. He said he won't play co-written Maiden songs. Well, bummer.

Faster and shorter songs can be not exciting enough, yes. Typical formula too. I understand you about it. The album is not that fast or aggressive, only 3 songs are. Not the full album ofc (for me, 8-9 of the songs are good), but they manage to sound fresh enough for me with this album...

For me, the longer stuff is usually not inconsistent like the shorter songs, at least for Maiden. The first two 90's albums are a good example.

British Steel is an iconic metal cover, but I've never been a big fan of it. ...And Justice For All wins this round. Impactful. Even without background.

''Behind the scenes'' like En Vivo. Niice. Expected for this tour/celebration. Hope there will be comments from everyone. It's official by Maiden, right.

Best known, yes. Best visuals, that's subjective. Especially for this tour. Clairvoyant - agreed. Um, because they've done it before on previous tours?

Is there a new trend of releasing half of an album as singles? I don't like it at all. The new single is feat. another band. ''Crossing The Rubicon'' sounds fun (riffs and chorus), but really by-the-numbers (unique style, though), probably more than the other singles.

Not an easy question. Probably: Trooper Aces High Hallowed Be Thy Name The Wicker Man Hell On Earth

It's a bit surprising (given the 1st leg), we're still like halfway through the tour, but I didn't expect many changes for this 2nd leg of it anyway. He has to save songs for the next tour.

The examples are quite a few for me: Brave New World (essential), Aces High (essential too), Out Of The Silent Planet, Hell On Earth, Time Machine, Red And The Black, If Eternity Should Fail, Rainmaker, Dance Of Death, Judgement Of Heaven(!), When Two Worlds Collide, Afraid To Shoot Strangers...

Ok songs, wow. Albums like FOTD, VXI and DOD aren't fun? Agreed.

@Azas , I have some suggestions. It's probably quite the work, but you're the best at it. :) You can basically do a single cover for every Maiden song. But I really liked Primal Fear's new album's booklet - I had a similar idea for Senjutsu's songs here--->>>...

I think you're right with these. There's probably more. I like this feature, as much as I like pure riffs. And it's needed for some songs like Parchment, Hell On Earth, Wild Wind, Silent Planet, Brave New World, Aces High, Prowler...

Woah, the new album has a great booklet - with artworks for every song! It's called Earbook and it's bigger. Now that's how you do it! They may have been made with AI, but they look so cool. And they create a whole world for the album (which is special), plus they're thematic. Eagles, the one...
