    Iron Maiden in the strangest places

    It was so unexpected. Plus, who doesn’t love Paula Radcliffe! I used to run lots, but I have been struggling with injuries for two years :(

    Ranking the Maiden show openers

    It has to be Aces High in the number 1 spot for me. There’s nothing like the roar of 20,000 singing along with ‘Run, live to fly!’ I don’t think I could rank the rest. They have all worked well for their respective tours. Even Satellite 15… The Final Frontier was a cool live song. It felt like...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I’ve been watching the videos of Hell on Earth live. Stunning. I’m not sure how I’ll be able to remain dry-eyed during this one. Whenever I play it at home, my daughter sits on my lap and listens to it. She occasionally does a little dance as well! It’s such an emotional song, and it stirs so...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Bruce has chosen the set lists since his cancer scare.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I was one of those saying this, and I’ve eaten my hat after seeing the live videos. The man is a freak of nature. His singing so far on CSIT has been better than 86-87 by some margin.

    It’s the ‘Can I Play With Agnes?’ version.

    Which songs never worked live as good as in the original studio version?

    Rainmaker is one of my favourite Maiden songs, and I agree it is not that great live. Bruce just struggled to sing it. Controversially, I always thought Moonchild was not as good live as in the studio. I loved seeing it live in 2008 and 2013, but the studio version is so good.

    What songs do Maiden change live?

    Good shout. I was recalling it from memory.

    What songs do Maiden change live?

    Also, Killers seems shorter or longer at different times in the bands history. I seem to recall the ‘99 version is shorter.

    What songs do Maiden change live?

    No clean intro for Out of the Silent Planet. It goes straight in with the snare roll.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I wouldn’t class myself as over sensitive. I get that we are allowed to criticise the band. Hell, I am always criticising Bruce on this forum for his stubbornness and ego. I am happy with the band replacing Nicko if they need to. If he is struggling or his health is stopping him from...

    We’ll have to agree to disagree. Personally I find it more obnoxious to whinge about a 71 year old drummer who is simplifying things to make his life a little bit easier. I think he has earned it. A couple of mistakes, missing drum fills and snare rolls is not enough to get my pants in a bunch.

    ‘I scream, you scream, we all scream for missing snare rolls on CSIT’

    Christ the whinging about Nicko is insufferable and borderline weird.

    Unplayed live songs and the future of Maiden: what's next?

    If we get another tour, the only song I potentially see as joining the ranks of played songs is Only the Good Die Young.

    I know I often rip on Bruce for being stubborn and sometimes straining, but fucking hell is he nailing this song. We are so lucky to be fans of a band that sound this good in their late 60’s. I see he is not moving as much and has extra monitors. Good choice, Mr Dickinson.

    I got two nice Maiden related items for my birthday: Maiden England on picture disc and The Trooper 10th Anniversary stout.

    I love how all the boys abandon Adrian for his solo in the middle of ATG. They are like ‘You’re on your own mate!’

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I am not disappointed with the set list at all. I thought HBTN was a bit rough last year. If Bruce is going to strain, at least do it on songs we have never heard live or haven’t heard in a long time.
