What are the sources for these rumours? I'm just rather curious. I could definitely see "the band is unhappy with Simon" becoming just another "a tour with Judas Priest in the works" and "Dave wants to retire" if they'll be around with this line-up for a handful of years, heh.

As I barely missed the ticket sale and couldn't quite make sure that I can get to see them in 2008 and couldn't make it for their festival appearance here in 2010 either, 2011 The Final Frontier tour was destined to be my first Maiden live experience. Helsinki Olympic Stadium, 8th of July 2011...

Big thanks to @Eduardo Cabeza for the scans! Very interesting comments by the band. I've always found the Virtual XI era particularly intriguing and the tour productions of 1998-99 as well, as there clearly was an attempt to recapture the essence of the classic stage sets and kind of a strong...

I've expressed my love for Tears of a Clown in various topics here and I'll do the same in this one. :wub:

I really like Tears of a Clown. I think it's one of the songs that would've benefited immensely from a more focused approach in the studio. More takes, sharper/brighter sound and just a tad bit more space for vocals, guitar parts etc. It's got a nice solo too. I don't know, maybe I'm just...

Apparently they've done Eddfest in 2007 too! :o Okay, it was actually EDD-FEST. And in Bangalore, but regardless.

Well those little posters include all the CGI Eddies seen in the film, as far as I remember. I think those shots are directly from the animations, actually.

Haven't seen Maiden shows this year, but judging by the videos, I think they actually are playing very well indeed and even the encore part of the set doesn't sound quite as "tired" as it has occasionally been on the past few tours, last summer included. That being said, I acknowledge that...

Brilliant idea. I think there could be three price categories, covering different materials (wood, steel etc.) and other features. Standard Casket - No Prayer for the Dying Deluxe Casket - The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg Premium Casket - Live After Death* *Comes with a lightning rod...

I like this one a lot! Pleasantly chaotic at times.

Absolutely. Infinite Dreams, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son... Powerslave & Rime sound fantastic too. Then again, I'd buy a live album from every tour..

Around the release of The Final Frontier I never particularly fancied to hear Isle of Avalon live, although I liked the song from the start. Looking back though, it might have been pretty nice live number with all that Smith & Harris™ groove and some neat little stage show effects, probably...

Might be, certain events tend to have recurring concepts with varying levels of execution. E.g. Vikings has been a safe bet for a Nordic even shirt for... well, since event shirts became a thing? :D

Infinite Dreams sounds f*cking phenomenal. Wish I could see them this summer!

How about playing Sheriff of Huddersfield live in 2030 in order to celebrate Rod's 80th birthday? In all fairness, Bruce's impersonations of Rod are pretty good. The reason I never took up martial arts is because I was immensely fearsome and I'd probably kill everybody that I came into contact...
