They could stick Holy Smoke in, it would have no impact on the rest of the set list at all, and you’d still get some No Prayer representation.

Missed out on one of the best new metal bands in Britain ngl

I don’t think their guitar sound has ever been as heavy as it was on AMOLAD. Gloriously crunchy.

The proggy time signature that seems to come out of nowhere for Adrian’s solo in The Time Machine. That really stood out live, in particular.

Mary on a Cross is the better song from that single. I instantly enjoyed it more than Kiss the Go Goat when they were released. Just a shame it’s become TikTokified.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone within the Maiden hierarchy sat down (Steve/Rod) and had a word with him when it became clear that he wasn’t going to get better as the tour progressed, but allowed him to make his own decision about his future. Probably went something like this.

Not weird per say, but I've always thought the "We are cast out by our bloody father's hand" section and the use of the whammy during Adrian's solo in Lord of Light were pretty unique for a Maiden track.

Funeral through to Things Beyond Things is quite possibly my favourite run of songs on any album ever made.

To be fair, sound quality hasn't been high on their priority list for a good few years now.

It’s always confused me why Maiden have never opted for a curtain drop at the start of the show. It would have worked really well on the LOTB tour, the spitfire would have had an even bigger impact if it was hidden during the intro tape.

As much as I don't want it in the setlist. I think if they were to bring back Aces High, it could still work, it all depends on the place in the set. The problem with 2022, was that it was the LAST song of the set. Which was a fucking ridiculous idea, Bruce struggled, and so did Nicko even...

I could probably do without Wasted Years again to be honest.

I very much doubt he'd be able to play the intro anymore, sadly.

The Death of the Celts backdrop is probably the best they've ever had.

I seem to remember Barcelona last year was a good performance, especially for the first leg.
