Are the band not as popular as in Lithuania and Latvia?

Maybe so, but that doesn't make aces high from this tour any less bad than it is. Bruce is 64 though, its totally understandable that he can't do it anymore. A vocalist at the top of their game like Floor Jansen is 41, I wouldn't expect her to belting out ghost love score as well as she does now...

Lets put it this way, if i wanted to introduce iron maiden to someone that had never heard them before, the last time performance i would show them is aces high from this tour.

Oh boy thats rough. I think it should be dropped.

He didn't play for a couple of year??

The same reason his mixes are bad, his hearing is shot.

Peoples attitude to protecting their hearing... " if you take a kid to a show get him/her ear defenders" for yourself- " na dont worry, just slowly bombard yourself with noise and slowly go deaf"

why do they bother to play festivals then?

I’m speaking from the point of view of casual fans which will be in the majority at festivals

If they open with the same 3 songs at download the atmosphere will be rock bottom

hahaha just saw the trooper belgrade video. Bruce didn't give himself enough time to get back to where he had left his mic.

I think one song from Senjetsu would be enough, surely no one wants to hear 3 songs from it over Where eagles date/ 2 mins 2 midnight. Also, slightly off topic but does anyone know how contracts work with guitar/drum techs? When the band isn't touring are they being paid or is it up to them to...

I'm sure they were financially set for life years ago, surely?

Sorry! The only song i like is Hell on Earth, and even that annoys me with the quiet intro and outro. The rest of the song is great though.

Senjetsu , DoD , FoTd, although i do have a softspot for songs like weekend warriot, NPtD

Once and Dark passion play have both sold over 2 million copies each worldwide. Not bad for a symphonic metal band from Finland.

The verses are weird, its almost like its going for that spoken verse vibe that Sabaton to but the execution is bad. Rest of the song is a bit better but overall poor.

Will 70 year old Nicko Mcbrain be able to do a full set? I would be amazed if he does a consistently good job throughout the whole show.

it would be the biggest thing hes done in his career if he joins nightwish. Have you seen the venues they play?

ah yea your right i remember them saying that now. Harvest will be amazing live, thar chorus is so catchy.
