Yeah i'll be checking. Also considering a trip to either Antwerp/Barcelona, shame they aren't playing in Paris that would of also been good.

I realised i'm a bit late but i haven't seen Maiden since 2013 and would love to see this tour but it seems all tickets in the UK are sold out :(

Does IEM have hearing protection? Must be a reason he doesn't want to switch from ear plugs.

Bruce is 64, has been in a heavy metal band for 30 years, plus some years as an airline pilot(noisy). Plus chemotherapy which is toxic to your ears/hearing. Its no surprise his hearing is probably suffering, I'd estimate he probably has moderate hearing loss at some frequencies.

Thats never happening, at least not in Europe.

Really? It looked like the top tier was empty.

Was it that bad? I can't actually remember

I wonder why they chose to play Download over a doing a stadium gig in the UK. Could of done a medium size stadium like Coventry if they didn't think a bigger one would sell out.

What nonsense, why should people make the effort to listen to new stuff if they don't want too? Still think its mad that they are opening with senjetsu, at least stratego picks up the pace and WOTW is decent enough. Senjetsu is a plodder though. I'm used to seeing Steve charge out to the front...

So now you are being heightist?

The guy with the flare probably was greek, and he was being a c*nt, thats probably the extent of it. I doubt Bruce meant meant anything deeper.

I think its a bit like the Bon Jovi situation, no ones going tell Steve/ the rest that opening with Senjetsu is an atmosphere killer. Likewise no one in camp Bon Jovi seemingly wants to tell him to retire.

he’s saying that it its a bit of a dull start for maiden standards. Compared to the likes of the wicker man, aces high, number of the beast, wildest dreams. Even eternity might fail has more oomf to it than senjetsu which is a plodder.

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"
