    When did The Trooper become Maiden's de facto big hit?

    It started when it was part of the Carmageddon II soundtrack. Then it became popular on P2P networks, and they put more into the performance by doing the flag waving and uniform. Many people got into Maiden at the same time, so slowly it became a favorite for many fans. And as it pops up as...

    METALLICA ALBUM RANKING GAME: FINAL LIST

    Kill’em all is a true classic, unlike everything else when it was released. Seeing it this low on the total chart, really says it all that Metallica have some amazing albums in their discography

    Anybody else here who rates NPFTD his/her fave Maiden album? (or among the personal faves at least)

    It’s not a favorite of mine, but it surely is a good one and a fresh album after Somewhere in time and Seventh son of a seventh son. I used to rank it lower, but it has grown a lot the last ten years for me.

    METALLICA ALBUM RANKING GAME: FINAL LIST

    Hardwired is alot better than it’s predecessor, more safe but also tighter, more solid, more melodic. Maybe also a litte one dimensional, it’s not all over the place as Load and Death magnetic. And why was Lords of summer not part of the main album? And I wish we had heard some songwriting input...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    They don’t want to retire, but I can see at least some of the others could want to retire. Bruce will surely continue his solo career and Steve will continue British Lion for more years even if Maiden call it quits.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    Maybe this is just a Scandinavian problem, but big event concerts like Maiden, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Bryan Adams and so on, they are flooded with 55+ year old folks who are basically going out for drinking and talking at these shows, they just stop to talk when they play Run to the...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    All big selling "old" bands and musicians sell really well, cause most of the crowd are casual drunk old farts who listened to their favorite songs from a band in the 80’s, never bothered again, until they either found out that the band are playing in their city, or got free tickets from their...

    Best New Music 2024 edition

    Anyone heard the "new" Michael Schenker album? I like some of these UFO versions. Joe Lynn Turner on Doctor doctor sounds fine, and that Swedish singer from Skid row on Mother Mary rocks, along with Schenker and Slash duel. However, I was most curious about Axl Rose singing Love to Love. The...

    METALLICA ALBUM RANKING GAME: FINAL LIST

    I didn’t know this one was out yet.. However, the start here was a little surprising I think. So here are my thoughts so far (as a Metallica fan for almost 25 years: - I agree St. Anger is their worst of their main albums. I really hate Lulu, but I understand it is not part of this game. St...

    Run For Your Lives tour their last or not?

    Very difficult to answer. I think they want to continue, but their age is catching up on them now. If they want to continue, they should cut down to something like Metallica are doing: two shows a week for about a month. But they don’t have the budget to do that. The theme of this upcoming tour...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I paid about 135 Euros for Maiden in Trondheim. It’s a one day festival with a dozen bands, but still I think it was pretty expensive

    Run For Your Lives Tour: Which Songs from No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark Are in the Setlist?

    I would love it if they pulled out No prayer for the dying, Tailgunner, Hooks in you, Childhood’s end, Afraid to shoot strangers and Be quick or be dead. We just will probably get Bring your daughter to the slaughter, Fear of the dark and Afraid to shoot strangers.

    Replacing Nicko?

    I sure hope to see Nicko on stage next year. At least if he himself wants it, let him continue, he always try his best. Maiden still play better than all other bands there If he is not, then thank you so much for all you’ve done for over 40 years in Maiden!

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I think we can end up with To tame a land, Phantom of the opera, Running free, only the good die young, Tailgunner, Afraid to shoot strangers and Be quick or be dead. Maybe also Wasting love, since it is a "Spotify hit" :facepalm:

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    Damn that would be perfect, thank you for mentioning it. Fits perfect with payday tomorrow as well. If it happens, I can finally say I have seen Maiden three times. Missed the show in 2018 when my kid had to be in hospital, they literally played a couple of stone throwes away from my job at the...
