    Simon is using a click in his inears. Not the whole band, but they indeed have to play with the drummer.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    They are definitely using click now. You could feel a few moments where the band did not sound used to it in Clairwoyant or Iron Maiden, where Nicko used to speed up in some parts.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Went to the show on Saturday in Prague. It was the best Maiden have sounded since like 2008. Simon was on fire and the band as a whole was just simply killer, even Aces High sounded good and the flow of the setlist worked very well. The plea for leaving phones in the pocket was impactful and ppl...

    Blaze Bayley - The X Factor 30th Anniversary Tour

    Agree. Blaze´s bands always sounded bad on Maiden songs. It is because the over gained sound of the guitars. If they will be doing this set with just one guitar than it would be more of a butchering than a celebration.

    The "uninspired" encore block is probably an amazing thing for first time goers and the casuals. I am sure I´ll have a good time even if I don´t have any desire to see these 3 tracks again. It´s a little bonus after like 90 minutes of the amazing main set. Honestly I am stoked to see the opening...

    I do not think Bruce would be able to sing the song nowadays. The lyrics are extremely fast and tonguetwisting and the middle part has got some incredibly high notes. But yeah, I´d love to see that one again.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I am afraid we are indeed getting it as an opener. It is the most signature Maiden opener. :( Still better than opening with Wildest Dreams. :D

    Gimme Icarus, Killers and Infinite Dreams and I won´t care about the rest. I´ve seen Icarus in Prague 2018 and it was unbelievable. Definitely their best hit song ever.

    Best Live Album?

    If only Maiden Japan was released in full, properly mixed by Martin Birch, it would probably be the greatest live album in metal history. I love Bruce, Nicko and Janick, but there is something completely magical about early maiden in full force. The rawness, uncompromising speed and the groove...

    Ah, I see. I just misread the word area as arena.

    So you think they will announce an opening tour date less then two months before the tour? Highly doubt that.

    I would reeally love to not hear 2 Minutes again. It always felt very boring to me live.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    It really just seems that they are aiming the documentary release at the same time as announcing the North American leg of the tour tour, because they strictly do not need that buzz in Europe hence the 1st leg ticket sales. They will try to make it as big as they can in the US is my guess.

    The X Factor : 30 years on

    I might be the only one really liking the production on this. I think the original CD sounds the best. It is very dynamic and it shows a differrent side of the band where groove is up front in the mix and I personally love it. The only weak thing on the albim is Blaze´s performance in some...

    Back in 1993

    He was also the singer for Rainbow in mid 90s.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    I really hope for the return of the original disco drums pattern in Hallowed!

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    No it really is not. Blaze Bayley wasn´t a skilled session musician with knowledge of complex techniques etc.

    Live After Death anniversary this year - do you expect anything interesting?

    I´d love them to release a twin live album with all songs played at the Hammersmith run in 1984. Bruce was in much better shape and I even like the performances and setlists better than the original LAD Long Beach album. I always wondered if they also filmed some nights at Hammersmith. Does...
