I find it very funny looking back, I was definitely in the "hate grunge" camp when I was 14, I remember being delighted when Cobain died because I thought now my music was back (remember I was a stupid teenager at the time). But when I hear bands like Pearl Jam or Soundgarden now, they aren't my...

Grunge definitely was a factor, but it was kind of something that all bands go through after they've been out for about 10 years or so. They aren't the flavour of the month band anymore and younger people getting into music are going to be looking for their own generation of bands. There's a...

Agree with Dennis comments re: Blaze. It's also implied that grunge had an impact, but Cobain was dead before Maiden had even done anything with Blaze

It should have been taken off the US when ICE started all that carry on, there's probably going to be issues on every entry point to the US but I for one wouldn't fancy having to cross the border from Mexico to the US. It's not even a case of them sending you home, you could be stuck in a prison...

ha ha, I had the same old man thoughts alright!

Both those pictures have different dimensions, which is why Eddie covers up the spitfire on the narrower picture. No more to it than that. If they were purposely hiding the spitfire they would probably hide the spotlights too

I remember the same article alright. I think I'm more triggered by the phrase "rock bottom", it conjures up images of when Bart was fantasing about being in a band

There's also an MTV clip from Rome I think that I've seen before, where he was singing great, so it was a bit selective when his heart wasn't in it. I'm a bit sceptical about Halfin's story, because you would think that Wembley would be one of the big gigs with media there where he might have...

Agreed, but also the american guy saying Maiden had to sink to rock bottom to come back to the top, was a bit OTT, they played to 50,000 in a stadium in Brazil with Blaze, both albums were number 1 in Greece. Relatively, it's obviously Maiden's least successful period, but it's hardly rock...

Powerslave, Senjutsu, Somewhere in Time, A Matter of Life and Death

my spoilt bastards comment is a bit over the top :lol: I was just a bit wound up after seeing I'm the only one who'll be avoiding set list spoilers in @Dick Brucinson's thread!

Also it would mean one night couldn't finish with Iron Maiden, throwing away 50 years of a tradition of every gig ever finishing with Iron Maiden just to please this generation of spoilt bastards doesn't square up with what my image of Iron Maiden is.

I'll try and be surprised, I'll leave the forums and try to avoid youtube in case there's accidental spoilers thanks to algorithms spying on me. I literally can't understand why people would check beforehand, and the people who scroll the internet looking for mobile vids every night of the tour...

Sad Wings of Destiny but thats if you count the fact that they put the side 2 sticker on what should have been Side 1. Joking aside, The Number of the Beast clearly, Powerslave arguably.

amazon.ie has a paperback listed, which is not mentioned elsewhere

Would be the equivalent to selling 125,000 dvds @ $20 a pop

Plus it wasn't released until most of the tour was over

36 now, Malahide, London Stadium and 2 nights in Paris, last year.

Just checked, you're right its not, it should have been in the outro, as it was on other dates on that tour.

I think the Mohawk Eddie is the original album cover, he just painted more hair on it
