Well, the 90s are back in fashion for gen z. I guess that finally means No Prayer gets some attention! I would like to hear ...Daughter again.
Wonder if Nicko can play Killers, Phantom, Be Quick... and fast tracks like that night after night?
Hopefully the set lost won't just be a mash up of...
Don't get carried away with the sound on Youtube videos.
While I agree Nicko's sound didn't hit as hard as other shows (I recall the AMOLAD shows in 2006 for example, Nicko and his drum sound was the star of the show), the Australia shows were still excellent.
Rod was present at the second...
Would like to see a new album first of all. If not, then a '15 songs that defined the band' tour might be nice...
Fantasy setlist for 2025 (also based on the data...):
1. If Eternity Should Fail
2. These Colours Don't Run
3. Brave New World
4. Dance of Death
5. Bring Your Daughter...
6. Fear...
Another way of looking at it is that Bruce's better material from tattoed millionaire could have been on NPFTD. yes I know that's barely 10 minutes more of good ideas, but one album in 1990 between them would have been better,
Just back from four Aussie shows. I won FTTB to Perth and Brisbane and enjoyed the two Sydney shows from further back.
But I confirm - bruce's rambling intros and tangential song connections are getting worse. Some nights they are awful, other nights OK. I think it started on Book of Souls with...
I felt they pushed the boat out with En Vivo and Flight 666... and then got lazy with the last two.
Agreed, but at least Live Chapter sounds very good for the most part. NOTD does not sound good in many places.
What I suspect is that the live album / DVD package forced them to put alot of...
Wondering about this headline (presumably by Stepjan Juras)
Obviously Bruce saw Paul perform with Maiden. And they were in the same NWOBHM circles including Maiden supporting Samson, I think. So they must have met in the early 80s already.
If anything, this could mean Nicko is more suited to studio work? If Nicko can happily complete the 3 month tour this year the question is does he then need a lot of recovery time before he could tour again?
A 50th anniversary promo campaign to market the new album would appeal to Rod.
As for another hybrid tour, I can see this. POM could be the album they use, digging out Icarus and debuting Sun and Steel for example. They might retain Alexander as well, or dig out To Tame a Land (given a new...
Have a sneaking suspicion you are right. I can see another 'mash up' tour, a new album spliced with a novel retro theme.
Possible... although most of the 80s eras has been mined by now in the reunion era.
At least one thing has changed in the never-ending production debate...
No-one in their right mind is saying 'bring in Roy Z to produce Maiden' anymore! Not after the Mudflap Project.
A few thoughts... unlike several comments above, I dont think the next tour will be a hits tour. In fact, I think Future Past is enough of a throwback tour that the next move will be a new album.
Second, it does all rest with Steve. My expectation is that we actually get something a bit...
Worst first
Sonata
Face in the Mirror
Resurrection Men
Eternity has Failed
Afterglow of Ragnarok
Shadow of the Gods
Rain on the Graves
Fingers in the Wounds
Mistress of Mercy
Many Doors to Hell
I also think so. Bruce will be testing the commercial viability of his solo touring right now, maybe it will give him confidence to step up to small arena level shows in a few years.
If/when Maiden retires around 2026, Steve will hit 70 years of age. Bruce will hit 68, I suspect Bruce would...
I agree, Aces needs resting. What killed its novelty value for me was the Maiden England set for 3 years. It didn't even fit the 7th Son / icecap theme.
Whereas if we had Aces in 1999, 2008, and the in Legacy for 2018-19 and 2022, that would have been enough for me in the reunion era.
Each to their own, it's why the Maiden catalogue has enough variety to keep us all engaged.
Nice to know your ears are happy in an early 90s production style! FOTD is produced in a way that dates it to its era, and lucky for you that is still cool! :bigsmile:
Regarding Empire of the Clouds, it...
