Bruce sounds amazing and the band sounds tight, considering it's the first show of the tour. I think the tour will be great. I can't wait for São Paulo show.
I agree. I wish they would open with something unexpected. I think Run To The Hills would be a good opener, wouldn't it? A bit weird, but because it's a sing along song, I honestly think it would work great and set a good mood. I know it's an overplayed song and all, but I'd really like to see...
I often get a bit emotional at the end of this song, especially when the last melodic riff kicks in, as I fear, more and more, that this song might have ended Maiden's studio career. I hope not, but if did end this way, then what an end it was!
I think we share pretty much the same opinion about Bruce's voice. Let me take 2 examples from Powerslave: 2 minutes to midnight and ROTAM. I can't even remember last time I listened to the studio versions, because the live ones after 2000s with a more mature voice are SO much better.
Yes...
I became a fan in 2009. And actually, the thing that prevented me from being a fan earlier than that was Bruce's voice. Especially because before 2009 all the stuff I saw from Maiden was their early stuff, mainly The Number of the Beast / Piece of Mind / Powerslave. To this day, I still don't...
Funny how some opinions can be so different.
I also noticed the verses are kinda 'different' and a bit weird, but I like them and I think they were intended to be this way. The part "We're ecstasy on respirators / Breathing cosmic incubators" did make it obvious for me that it was all intended.
It was always very clear for me that it's 100% Bruce's fault. Too stubborn to admit that he simply doesn't sound good anymore at high register.
TWOTW and DOFP are good examples. Both are his songs and on both of them he never sounded good live, with one two nights that could be counted as...
Good album. It's nowhere close to TCW and AoB, but it has the potential to reach #3 for me, surpassing Tyranny of Souls. It is not there yet, but it has the potential.
Shadow of the Gods really is amazing.
Many Doors to Hell very good.
Mistress of Mercy and Resurrection Men are good surprises...
Amazing section, yes.
I think this song is underrated and I wish they had played it on TBOS world tour. Much better than The Great Unknown, for example. Actually, the only thing that I don't like about it is the wasted years-like intro, but just because it sounds too similar. Solid 8.5/10 for me.
Yes, I'm also kinda disappointed at this point.
Also, I don't think it's a good idea for Maiden to play in Brazil by december (close to summer). Very weird tour dates this time.
The Alchemist is one of my favorite Bruce's songs, but I have the feeling it is not going to sound good, especially if he insists to sing it all on a high register. It simply isn't pleasant to my ears anymore. On this video, for example, he did not sound good. For me, with the exception of one...
