Keeping Senjutsu would be such a pig-headed move and waste of space on the setlist that I'm half-convinced they'll actually do it.

"Less is more" would be a good theme.

On both shows? They added an extra one.

I doubt the majority of audience members would even realise if they tuned down a step

Very true but I think there are drummers out there who could do his parts justice, it's just about finding a player with the right qualities. Black Sabbath for example made a crucial error when they replaced Bill Ward with a guy who wouldn't know a groove if it bit him in the arse.

He's sounding very tired on this current run so if Nicko's age finally caught up with him and prohibited him from playing Maiden songs to the usual standard I'd rather have a younger guy step in and potentially prolong the life of the band. Never thought I'd say that but he seems to be losing...

Someone should've told these guys.

I'm guessing Rod won't allow them to fork out for a solid plane

Assuming they don't add earlier dates my show is only around 3 weeks after the tour starts, might be the first Maiden tour I'm able to stop myself from spoiling

I'd love to see Futureal back in the set

There's still hope yet

Classic song I hate: The Number of the Beast purely because it's the one I'm least excited to hear these days Hated song I love: The Educated Fool

Drifter is great, what the hell is wrong with you all?

Thank god you're not bitter about it!

Have to admit it would be extremely funny if they still refused to play it, just for the level of rage you'd get.
