    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    I don’t have a problem with the setlist, even Aces High. We got Rime, Seventh Son, Phantom, and Powerslave on the same show, plus a bunch of hits. I’ll take it. But I didn’t react well to the drum sound. It’s just so different from Nicko. I’ll give it time to grow on me. I hope it will.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    And every single year they were active, with a tour and/or album release, barring force majeure years (Bruce's illness, Covid lockdowns). The reunion era line-up was the ultimate Maiden line-up, a perfect blend of 80s, 90s, and new millenium Maiden. Best metal band ever.

    Good, if true. I'm more sick of that song than I am Trooper or Fear of the Dark.

    No, it’s just speculation dressed up with “spoiler tags”.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I’ve never filmed anything at a concert, and I never will. I get in the moment with the music. BUT I am grateful for the (skillful) filmers out there. I’ve certainly enjoyed many of their YouTube videos of Maiden and other bands.

    What’s Steve thinking here?

    “Dennis was way too tall for Maiden. I made the right choice.”

    50th Anniversary Documentary Announcement

    Yes. But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I hope he plays Eternity Has Failed. I don’t care that it’s a “Maiden song”; it’s the best song on The Mandrake Project album, in my opinion. Plus it’s different enough from the Maiden version. Play it, Bruce!

    Bruce Dickinson

    Yeah, I got GA tickets for Silver Spring, too. I was planning to get balcony seats, but #@€+ those prices.

    How will Simon Dawson change the look and sound of Maiden?

    Without Nicko, Maiden will become 20% better looking overall. Not sure about the sound.

    Dennis Stratton

    Interesting “unplugged” versions of early Maiden songs, but I want these songs at full power. Doogie White does a good job on vocals.

    Best performances from Future Past Tour?

    I was at the Baltimore show in November 2024, and the band was on fire. In all videos I've seen of the band on the 2024 tour they sounded great, even better than 2023. I really hope they release Nicko's final show in Brazil on Blu-ray or at least some professionally produced video release.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    The Chilean crowd in 2011 on the “En Vivo!” DVD is my favorite Maiden crowd ever. Do they still bring the same energy in 2024?

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    The Baltimore show was amazing. Bruce was in incredible form. This band is a machine. Bruce said it was the best crowd on the US tour and that they’d see us in 2 years. Biggest crowd pops of the night were for Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, and Wasted Years. Few things in life are better...
