    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    This is a fair point. That particular clip is from the first show of the tour, though, which Adrian described as probably their "worst ever" (from the playing point of view); however, I think Nicko certainly improved his consistency a lot during the tour, although there certainly were a few such...

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    I agree. I kind of understand the worries about the quality of the performance that e.g @Nomadd pointed out, but it all sounded fine to me when I saw some shows last year. Yes, Nicko's approach to certain songs is a bit stripped-down, but he's very much able to keep the tempo consistent and...

    The Concert Thread

    Turns out I'll be seeing Bruce Springsteen on Friday :) Originally me and my siblings bought tickets to our parents (my dad is a huge fan of the Boss) for xmas and I agreed to drive them there. The tickets were rather pricey and the concert was sold out immediately, so I didn't get ticket for...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Me too. It's not like... my favourite beer ever or anything like that, but I think it's genuinely very good and most of them have enough character and taste to... at least justify their existence. :) In addition to the basic Trooper ale, I'm quite fond of The Red'n'Black and I think Fear of the...

    Bruce Dickinson

    It's rather interesting what is and is not "special" at this point. In my opinion, the Future Past tour is a special tour. The Legacy of the Beast certainly was too, with one of their most grandeur stage shows and a rather brilliant, very balanced setlist structure. It's not uncommon for for...

    No need for that, Bruce. It's just rain, rain rain... (it really is an amazing shot!)

    Which song is a better addition to TNOTB album ?

    ...true. Thanks!

    Which song is a better addition to TNOTB album ?

    This is kind of a tough one. I think that I like Total Eclipse slightly more for its concept and structure, but I think the arrangement could've been improved a bit... say, if the song was reworked for some later release, it might have turned out a bit better. As it is, I think it would fit The...

    As much as I'm rooting for Florida, I've got to admire the "NOTHING IS OVER" spirit of Edmonton at this very moment...

    Bruce Dickinson

    The same person has also captured stuff for the screen. E.g the footage of the crowd is shown during Chemical Wedding and during Frankenstein the band footage is in the spotlight. So my guess is that they're just part of the tour personnel, but who knows... :) Road to Hell is brilliant, but I...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Few thoughts about the show in Oslo - my very first Bruce Dickinson solo gig experience! :) - Bruce sounded very good! He did mention the health issues, but he seemed to be in a good fit and kept high energy thorough the show - Road to Hell took the place of Aquarius and Thel is still missing...

    Just joined the queye outside Rockfeller! I think I saw the bus of Bruce & co. as I was walking here, but didn't bother to stop and stare to confirm it. My first Bruce Dickinson solo concert ever!

    Bruce Dickinson

    Bruce can (and should) be criticized for a lot of things and he is a businessman thoroughly, but I think he seemed genuinely impressed and moved by the warm reception around the resurrection of his solo efforts, both the album release and this tour. In that sense, sync issues and Bruce's current...

    I really like what Panthers have been doing over the past couple of seasons and they're a fantastic team. As a bonus, I also wouldn't mind the Cup visiting Finland this summer (Barkov, Lundell, Luostarinen & Mikkola + Assistant coach T. Ruutu)... So to some extent, I guess I root for them. Then...

    I'll join the line as well. Huh!

    Nightwish

    Listened the new single. Sounds like Nightwish! I like Nightwish. As of yet, I don't have particularly strong feelings for either way, but I enjoyed it anyway. Then again, I'm one of those who absolutely love Human :||: Nature too. ;)

    Bruce Dickinson

    I think it comes down to the song being structurally quite identical with Tears of the Dragon and competiting against songs like Gates of Urizen, Jerusalem and (in a way) Navigate the Seas of the Sun, which all are pretty much established live favourites at this point.

    Huh? It's on Scream For Me Brazil live album, even. :)

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    I respectfully disagree. :) Wildest setlist dreams aside, the Maiden setlist structure after Maiden England run has been fairly fresh and even adventurous, offering quite balanced selection of "hits" & dusted off classic rarities, deeper cuts and if an album tour or such, also new stuff. It's...

    Album covers: alternate versions, different Eddies?

    I very much appreciate the visual consistency and overall style of the The Book of Souls and Senjutsu albums and their representative media, so I kind of wish The Final Frontier also went with that. The album cover isn't the best, but I don't hate it either. The comic-book style "single covers"...
