Ok, I wasn't gonna say anything at first but this has to stop. Before I switch forums or throw the computer out of the window, for the love of all that is holy please change the goddamn year!
I'm sorry but this is exactly what the expectations should be with this band. And that goes with albums as well as tours. "For the last record, just put out a rocker of an album with shorter songs!", "Maybe change up the setlist a little bit between shows", "Where are the deep cuts??"... The...
For this being a best of arena tour, I am more than happy with that setlist. The meat and potatoes are there but we get the best epics to even them out. Happy they didn't go for either Running Free, Sanctuary or Daughter, but I'm probably alone there.
Honestly, I can do without the constant costume changes and props that Bruce was sporting on the LOTB tour. He became too busy and lost contact with the audience, in my opinion. I know people think highly of that tour, so this is certainly an unpopular opinion.
So, about that phone thing... Just got back from Ghost (where they locked the phones away) and I completely agree. Phones need to either get away or get to a minimum. This was a fantastic experience! It was like being in a well directed music video where everybody was completely into it all the...
I was you 12 years ago, flipping through Ross Halfins photo book with my daughter in my lap and watching mummy Eddie on youtube. Didn't think this day would come, but we will be attending her (now 15) first Maiden gig together in june and we are both stoked! It's truly a life goal for me as a...
It's definately the "Maiden way" to politely ask the fans to be a little restrictive with their phones and not go full Ghost... a band I'm seeing this friday. If anyone's interested, look up Yondr. It's a pouch that blocks signals and your phone is locked inside it during the gig. You can leave...
I'm guessing a whole new big Eddie. Wouldn't mind Mummy and your Phantom idea is interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the original punk Eddie this time around.
So do you think they will introduce Simon in some way before the start of the tour? Maybe a clip from the rehearsals and a bit of a spoken introduction of who he really is... Or do we get the first taste of the new Iron Maiden drummer at the first gig like any other session musician?
You can now get a piece of Ed Force One, BOS edition for the (odd?) price of 66.66 EURO. https://www.aviationtag.com/en-eu/pages/aviationtag-x-iron-maiden-the-ed-force-one-edition
If it was today (or maybe right before being a far right nationalist could get you into office), there would probably be a steeper hill to climb if you did what Phil did onstage. It was 9 years ago and he made a public apology which seem to have worked out. If there would be any hesitation on...
It's like they were planning how they would arrange it when he stepped on stage. It didn't bring anything to the song and you can't even hear Bruce. I don't know what to make of it to be honest.
Why oh why would they ever plan for someone else to take the drummer seat for 2026?! Just because they left that part out when it was announced? Simon must be beyond terrible if that would ever be put out on the table.
Hopefully this will stop the talk about this and that person being cold and not showing love. This is a very heartfelt good bye! Thank you for posting.
