To my mind, I do believe that When the Wild Wind Blows has intrigued me ever since I started listening to it in depth. When listening to the lyrics, it has all the makings of an incredibly dark tone, and is definitely a game changer, throwing The Final Frontier completely off course, and ending...

Damn! I can never come up with a good idea:p

Not if there's a specific list of songs. If Maiden make a number of set lists before the tour, then the band can learn them and rehearse before the tour gets going. This way, they can learn the songs they haven't played, while refreshing themselves with better known ones......if that makes sense?

I'm sure a band would probably remember their tracks, or least rehearse them regularly

No idea earthier Cried. Anyway, I'd probably call mine 'The History Tour' and play songs from every album. Each show will alternate by constantly chopping songs with others. Also, this will be Iron Maiden's on Social Media based tour, where fans who are going to a certain concert can suggest...

"Have you ever been alone at night? Thought you heard footsteps behind. Turn around, no one's there! And, as you quicken up your pace, you find it hard to look again, because you're sure that someone's there" "I'm just a lonely soldier, fighting in a bloody, hopeless war! Don't know what I'm...

I wouldn't be so sure. Not disputing your claim, but there are aspects of Bruce's performance that would put a vocal strain on any 55 year old. At a stretch, I'd say about 5 years. 7 maybe, but there is no way he could continue into his mid-60s

That video of Hallowed is absolutely awful. It feels like nobody wanted to play it, they were just intent on rushing it Personally, Bruce's voice did sound tired at points, to me. But, he can still put on a hell of a show for the audience, and I'd say he still has another 2-3 years of...

I think I have to rectify my list. I'm throwing out IM, and placing Seventh Son on top, with 'Moonchild', 'The Clairvoyant' and 'SSOASS' making up my list

I've suddenly come up with a new album. Simply called 'War' 1) Paschendale 2) Afraid to Shoot Strangers 3) Invaders 4) These Colours Don't Run 5) The Trooper 6) 2 Minutes to Midnight 7) Fortunes of War 8) Mother of Mercy 9) Tailgunner 10) Aces High

So far, out of my albums, I have to say that Seventh Son is my favourite album upon listening to it. It far outweighs Powerslave and NOTB, which were two of my favourites

I'm in the process of collecting all the albums on CD, and then putting them on my phone to listen to when I'm out and about I'm on my iPad right now, so I'm happy to hear any suggestions that you guys have, so I can search it on YouTube

But, it's not played exhaustively, which makes it feel fresh. There are plenty of songs that, to me, sound tiresome played live these days NOTB RTTH Trooper FOTD Hallowed Iron Maiden Running Free Apart from Hallowed, these have been on pretty much every setlist, and it's just boring hearing...

Notice the word 'frequently' after 'never played live'. Then the sentence will make sense
