    TBOS Tour Predictions

    Listen to these songs on En Vivo: The Trooper The Evil that Men Do Fear of the Dark Hallowed Be Thy Name Then listen to them on Rock in Rio. I'm not expecting the range, energy, and power we got on Beast over Hammersmith, and he still sang well on En Vivo. But he sounded strained on some...

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    It's not the solos (notice that I don't care for them in some songs), but yeah I generally like proggy instrumental sections.

    TBOS Tour Predictions

    I don't see them switching to "evening with" extended set. Normal Maiden concert length could fit all of the new album plus 2 old songs, but it's not going to happen (fan reaction was mixed to AMOLAD + 5 old songs). Rumor is we'll get 5 new songs, and "Empire of the Clouds" won't be one of...

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    Still absorbing the Book of Souls. My first impression is that there is a lot of cool music on this album, though many of the overall songs are inconsistent. Preliminary ranking/ratings after a couple days of listening: 5 stars: The Red and the Black (masterpiece... 9:10 to 12:30 reminds me...

    The Book of Souls - Deluxe Book Contents

    Never mind, I confirmed on Amazon chat that it does not include it (too bad as I have some Amazon MP3 credit expiring soon). I just purchased at iTunes instead. The "e-booket" looks great, though The Final Frontier artwork was better. (for the record, I've listened to it 5 or 6 times via Amazon...

    The Book of Souls - Deluxe Book Contents

    iTunes specifically lists the digital booklet while http://www.amazon.com/Book-Souls-Iron-Maiden/dp/B010A0PAOU does not. Did you get it from Amazon?

    Maiden's "surprise" for the upcoming tour.

    Differences between 2008 and 1988: Played in 1988 North American tour, but *not* in 2008: Infinite Dreams The Evil that Men Do SSOASS The Prisoner Sanctuary (not on Maiden England) Running Free (not on Maiden England) Changes for 1988 UK tour (and Maiden England): Added Die with Your Boots...

    Dream Setlist

    I listed only songs I haven't heard them play, but that they have played live. So some albums aren't represented. Longer than the typical Maiden show since it's epic-centric. Caught Somewhere in Time Lightning Strikes Twice Where Eagles Dare When the Wild Wind Blows Sea of Madness The...

    Maiden England Tour 2012/2013!

    I was not expecting this at all since: They already played two songs from SIT and three songs from SSOASS on the "Somewhere Back in Time" nostalgia tour. They did a BNW/DOD/AMOLAD mini-tour in the USA in 2010. The "Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour" is when their popularity started to...

    Yet ANOTHER best of - From Fear To Eternity

    Meh.  I'd swap out 11 of the 23 songs: Remove everything from NPFTD, everything from FOTD except the title track, Blood Brothers, Rainmaker, No More Lies, The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, These Colours Don’t Run, and Coming Home. Add Running Silent Running Deep, Fortunes of War, Futureal...

    Iron Maiden - piano covers

    I had assumed that some of her covers were done based on interest and suggestions, while others were from requests via individual donations.  However, it may be the case that songs she does now are only from the latter since I received a friendly response from Vika saying that it's 60 euro for a...

    Iron Maiden - piano covers

    Heh.  BTW, you can download high quality MP3s from http://vkgoeswild.com (including FOTD, DOD, and SOTC).  I donated 5 Euros and requested a few more Maiden tunes.  If enough of us do that, maybe she'll record/post more of them. Mine too (I picked up that CD several years back, before piano...

    Iron Maiden - piano covers

    This one of Dance of Death is particularly good (same guy who plays Sign of the Cross in Abas' link above): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRWwQYyUfPU

    Iron Maiden Song Meaning Spreadsheet

    As Abas mentioned http://www.ironmaidencommentary.com already has some of this, but this is still a nifty idea.  I made a minor update to it.

    Ok, what's all the noise about Maiden England DVD tour?

    By that I meant a 1990s tour is even less likely than a B-sides tour (which I'm also not expecting to happen).

    If they did a 1990s tour, what would you want played?

    I'm not holding my breath since it's widely recognized as Maiden's weakest period, but hypothetically if they did a 1990s tour, what would you want played? The rules are: Show must be the usual 1:45 length (generally 16-19 Maiden songs) Hallowed Be Thy Name, Number of the Beast, Iron Maiden...

    Ok, what's all the noise about Maiden England DVD tour?

    I watched that, but I don't think that means we'll get a "Maiden England" tour given that SBIT had 3.5 songs from SSSOASS and 2 from SIT. Also, the USA got a mini tour last year focused on 2000s material and Maiden England wasn't nearly as big as LAD, so I'm not expecting another period tour...
