Keep going fast, please. No need to artificially drag out threads like these.

The albums keep getting longer, though. Maybe Steve will decide again to go back to basics. In any case, I hope we get something, sometime. I don't yet have enough Maiden music in my life.

That sounds like the 80s formula. Don’t think they’ll go back to that. The intros and outros alone of each song take up about 5 minutes now.

Okay. I'll let it go. But we have to argue about something while we wait years for the next album..

Yes, he thought so. Therein lies the irony.

Exactly.

Age of Innocence is only a "bad" song on this forum because the lyrics trigger the liberals. In reality it's a very good song. It's probably not a good idea, though, for Steve to write any lyrics of a political nature, as too many fans will get upset. I just thank God that Maiden didn't turn...

I prefer the long, progressive songs at this point in Maiden's career. We'll always have the 80s and early 90s for the short songs. I want Maiden to blow it all out and go way over the top in the last years of their career. The last couple of albums are what I want to hear more of. The...

Face in the Sand is a great song.

I think he means the new British Lion album.

I love The Final Frontier from start to finish. It's Maiden's proggiest album, which appeals greatly to this old proghead. Isle of Avalon, Starblind, and When the Wild Wind Blows are three all-time Maiden classics to me.

If they were “lazy”, they wouldn’t bother touring so much at their advanced ages. They wouldn’t even bother with new material at all. They certainly don’t need the money. The merchandise buck$$$ will keep rolling in forever.

Last night I dreamed it was the opening night of 2018 tour, and I was watching a live feed of it. Here’s what they played in my dream, in order: Powerslave The Trooper Wrathchild Sanctuary Then I lost the feed and woke up. I have had prophetic dreams before, so who knows..

I also hope DoG doesn’t return, but not because Bruce struggles with it. It’s just not really that great of a song. If any TBoS song returns, I think it should be Tears of a Clown. It was missing from the 2017 tour, and it came off really great live in 2016.

After all this discussion, I listened again to Somewhere in Time last night, after having not listened to it in a while. It really is slickly produced and has a great sound. That said, overall the song quality isn't quite at the level of Piece of Mind, Powerslave, or Seventh Son of a Seventh...

Adrian seems like a kind of shy, private guy. Same with Steve. Bruce is a bit too crazy. So is Nicko. Dave is... Dave. So that leaves Janick. He seems like the most normal of the bunch.

Yes, it's still worth buying. It's a great show with great music, despite the drawbacks. As a Maiden fan, I wouldn't miss it.

Bruce can still sing anything well enough. He’s proven that over and over again. And if they could play the guitar parts well enough in 1986, they can do so now (especially with a 3rd guitarist).

Would be great if CSiT came back. Would be perfect as a show opener or first encore song. And I don’t buy that Bruce can’t sing it or that it’s too hard to replicate the album’s guitar sounds. It’s a great song with some of Dave and Adrian’s best solos ever. Play it!
