I like Rainmaker a bit better, but that´s not a minus for Jan by any means. In fact Gers/Harris collaboration album, in my not even that bold opinion, would be stronger than a regular Maiden album.

Said it before and saying it again, obviously I`m by no means alone, but Early Days Tour 2005 should´ve been the first three albums, 2008-09 Piece of Mind & Powerslave, 2012-13 SIT & 7th Son AND 2014 90s tour. Or at the very least SIT-FOTD as a nod to the whichever Real x One it was, I always...

Yeah, in Madrid the venue doors were open for some reason and Bruce caught cold after the gig. Then two days later he was already ill but did the gig and obiously did not fully heal for the Dortmund gig. Interesting approaches to some songs like Lord of the Flies when he was sick on that...

Yes, Bruce mentioned it to Tommy Vnce in VH1 in February 1999 when they were iterating each members background. Bruce wanted Janick to join Maiden but was in difficult position and didn´t have the nerve because they were mates etc, then Nicko actually suggested how about that brilliant greezer...

Well if we have to gossip might as well talk about Bruce´s hair. I don´t think that was the reason, he was already taking flying lessons and tests with long hair. And he has said multiple times that basically he thought he looked old with it, and, well, certainly did look better with bangs. I...

Always weird to read about Bruce´s voice on that album. Head and shoulders above, or at least rejuvinated 2.0 compared to 7th Son voice both album and tour. Actually live in 1988 Bruce´s voice is probably on its worst and in 1990 its quite good. Also in 1992 some of his best ever performances.

Recorded Oct - Nov 1999

As a poor man´s expert if I say so myself: 100% certain: Iron Maiden, FOTD, Phantom of the Opera, Running Free. Also Sanctuary is extremely likely Some classics obviously, probably at least the three amigos from TNOTB since none was played on Future Past Tour and Trooper etc NO songs from SIT...

I guess it still is a mystery if there is anything written yet but I think if not, they will write and record in 2027.

Bring Your Daughter and anything from FOTD except the title track and I am satisfied. Anything, realistically, basically meaning either Afraid or Wasting Love. Practically Afraid. Bruce says that already in Munchen 83 so they didn´t make it up. I only recently figured out that the tour name...

I interpreted it as at least one from the first nine albums, and even in Maiden standards it would be a colossal middle finger to the 90s not to do even Bring Your Daughter* and Afraid To Shoot Strangers*. And frankly the two songs I mostly look forward are the 90s apart from FOTD title track...

By the way, a little humble brag but can´t be from 30th September because if I recall correctly, they were still touring America in October. I would guess 2nd half of November / 1st half of December. Could check in 35 seconds but, as I said, humble brag.

Today marks exactly 40 years since the biggest ever Maiden gig, Rock In Rio on Jan 11th, 1985.

No. As mentioned Still Life was played in the UK and a few European gigs. Never survived a full tour, as it was only played in the UK in 1988 as well. Definitely give this one a go over the weekend, we owe you a beer pal. To Tame Land in soundboard quality more inviting than bucket of ice cold...

I intended to stay silent longer than this to respect Nicko for its quite negative comment but might as well. Getting sick of these "they are finished / they'll retire in couple of years / next tour is their last" etc. Well guess what. According to Maiden fans they have been finished est 1988...

Hopefully the first Iron Maiden single aka Running Free is gonna be the last song on the set and we`re gonna see p*ssed off Dickinson which a stadium tour requires. Extended drum & bass intro during which he hypes up like this: "Allright you little p*ssies, you know this one eh... drop those...

If Maiden played four nights in a row in England at the end of next year to celebrate 50 years: Night One (Senjutsu - VXI) 1. Parchment 2. Speed of Light 3. Coming Home 4. Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeq 5. These Colours Don´t Run 6. Rainmaker 7. Dance of Death 8. Paschendale 9. Ghost of the...

After careful evaluation of nearly two months (note; may differ from setlist competition) : -Starting and finishing with early days songs (Sanctuary & Running Free) to make a full circle -Expect a peculiar choice from the Killers album (so basically anything but Wrathchild) since the Maiden...

The biggest reason In his vocal change was probably simply touring less. Like he said in an interview just before the release of Brave New World in May 2000 that since leaving Maiden he'd only done 4-5 month tours with enough day offs instead of ten months / five nights a week. He then exampled...
