So, I think there'll be a North America addition to be announced later on and the 1st leg of the Future Past Tour will be over for good. Eastern Europe won't receive concerts very likely due to the uncertainties of the war, South America and the Balkans will get a token Bruce concert playing...

Why is everyone so sure that Futureal will be in the set? I joined the hype, to be honest, but now I'm thinking...why? I mean, their usual go-to in the VXI album is The Clansman. Futureal is a quick, go-to song to give Bruce a breather and pump up the crowd, but they'll already need to...

Issue is North America, really. If the European tour rolls up until August (imagining Wacken will be the last concert in Europe), they can always fit South America in 15/20 days. São Paulo, Rio, Curitiba or Porto Alegre, a capital in the Brazilian Northeast; Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima or...

My opinion: no incentive. As a rule of the thumb, an average band will have two major motivations to do stuff: personal views on their art or money. Money-wise, Maiden already has a non-incentive to play any deep cuts (or any band does, really). As much as any social media focused on the fans...

Just read the Nicko interview and I gotta confess I did not remember he was lobbying for Alexander for so long. I gotta think that someone in the band isn't a huge fan of the song, akin to the whole Flight of Icarus debacle. Maybe Icarus working so well softened the moods. I won't complain, I...

Curious on the reasoning here. Other than the fans asking for it every odd tour, I have never seen any interview from the band showing that they foresee playing Alexander any time in the future. Bruce playing with a plastic clarinet was the closest they ever showed to be interested in...

1) Caught Somewhere in Time 2) Sea of Madness 3) Futureal 4) Writing on the Wall 5) 2 Minutes to Midnight 6) The Trooper 7) Stranger in a Strange Land 8) Hallowed be Thy Name 9) Number of the Beast 10) The Parchment or Hell on Earth (It'll be one of the two, but I have serious doubt that both...

Considering I'm moving to Romania this end of the year and won't be able to leave the place for the whole year (nothing serious, just personal reasons), I hope you're right and they schedule a concert in Bucharest. I will be very upset if I finally move to a place that Maiden plays every year...

Jesus, I was kidding. I thought it was clear it wasn't serious. I don't know why the hell are people being so rude, but OK, I learned not to worn out my welcome

Do you know who ate a lot of fish during his life? Alexander the Great. Now, I'm not saying anything here, but...

Phantom can co-exist with one epic on the set. I think even with Hallowed on the game, they could play Hallowed, Phantom and an epic, pending on the rest of the set. But Hallowed, Phantom, Clansman and Rime or FTGGOG, I can't see it happening. The problem is we're considering too many variables...

Previously, my bet was The Clansman. Now, between Rime, FTGGOG and Phantom, I seriously doubt there'll be room for Clansman. Maybe Bring Your Daughter on the encore or, God forbid, Wasting Love

What's the meaning of life, if not overreacting about something you care about? Let us kids be happy, ma'am Before the ad, Wicker Man was my sure bet as opener. I still can't see it away from the set, but, between Wicker Man, Aces High and Moonchild, Wicker Man is the best song in the middle...

That's why I can't see Aces High being played anywhere outside of the opener spot. Bruce just can't sing it at the end of a concert

But Aces High is a very strong candidate for being in the setlist, and I don't think Bruce'll be able to play it on an encore opener. Moonchild, however, is achievable at the end of the concert. I mean, they could play Aces High at the middle of the set, but this is a very unorthodox thinking...
