This. The repetition is looked over on BNW but VXI is ridiculed for it.

Oh shit. Does that mean I have been playing bass for bands incorrectly since 2012? Better get a hair transplant otherwise my technique will go out of the window…

As someone who began losing their hair at 22, I have spent the last five minutes reading this thread and rolling my eyes.

It’s a shame to hear that you don’t like coming here as much anymore. I can be critical of the band. It’s because I hold them to high standards and sometimes I think they make some head scratching decisions. However it does not stop me from enjoying their gigs and rocking out!

Great review. I agree with everything except for Aces High. But disagreements are part of being a fan!

I woke up early, it’s too hot so I am sharing my thoughts. Pros I thought the band were on fine form. There were a few fluffs and technical glitches, but they recovered well. The setlist is mostly excellent. It has a nice flow. The song of the night was Powerslave. It was so heavy! My other...

On the train home. Great gig. Some grumbles but the band were on excellent form. I will post some more thoughts tomorrow.

I’m on the train down. I’m wearing my Earls Court ‘06 shirt. I’m surprised I still fit into it! I doubt there will be many more chances to do this. COYI!

Game knows game.

It’s a bugger to get to. At least Stratford has a good ‘international’ station, the tube and CrossRail.

I have no idea what they were thinking for the AMOTB tour. It was just the usual classics plus COTD and 5 AMOLAD songs. Although the band were on fine form, the setlist was turd.

I’m so glad I stopped caring about Maiden t shirts about 12 years ago. I walked into the O2 for the Maiden England Tour, looked at the prices, turned to my girlfriend (now wife) and said ‘Fuck that’. Since then I have proudly worn either my Coming Home or Earls Court 2006 shirt at every Maiden gig.

Meet up for a pint beforehand?

I have been thinking about this recently. Are there any Maiden or Maiden-related physical media products you would like to see released or re-released? Of course you can come up with your own desired product! Here’s mine Maiden England on black vinyl. The picture disc has too much noise! They...

I’m up for that! I bought two standing tickets this morning with O2 Priority.

I’m going to get tickets as well!

He still has great technique and a fantastic voice. But he doesn’t have the range anymore. I don’t have a problem with him changing a melody to make it easier on him or for adding interest to a boring melody. There are some great examples of this e.g. No More Lies on Death on the Road...

Robert Plant was 59 years old in 2007. I remember when I first heard Good Times Bad Times from the O2 Reunion gig, I thought ‘Wow they have really down tuned for his voice!’ Of course you they had to. The range of a voice is like a bell curve: You start with fairly limited range, grows over time...
