    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    I know you meant tour/set ideas, but taken out the context, that's rather good one..! ;)

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    Just my opinion of course, but I have never been a fan of this idea. It would absolutely make sure that there's a could of very interesting cuts, but I think it also limits the possibilities with certain material too much. For example, as much as I like most songs on (e.g) The Final Frontier...

    Nightwish

    :) I actually liked this second single a lot. It's not absolutely mind-blowing, but I love its somewhat uneasy, grinding vibe a lot and overall, I quite like it! I still have the same opinion on Perfume of the Timeless... which was not really having an opinion about it. I say it again: sounds...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Damn, Caught Somewhere in Time sounds so good! Nicko is able to keep it together, Bruce's voice just soars so beautifully and those guitars... insanely beautiful! Above there's lots of discussion about the next set and Nicko's ability to perform certain songs. I agree with the most that there...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Referring to the interview above, I think it's kind of sweet how, over time, Bruce has softened up towards Somewhere in Time and has expressed, and is expressing, great enthusiasm towards songs like Stranger in a Strange Land and Alexander the Great and meanwhile Steve also confesses his love...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Maiden posted on social media that there is a chance to win a signed setlist or a vinyl by scanning those "Fan cards" they're giving at shows. The post had a picture of the singed setlist. Reading the comments... inspired me. ;)

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    I don't particularly care if he's not sounding as good as, for example, in 2018 or 2008. I agree that his voice tends to get a bit tired and more strained towards the end of the show, but he's singing most of it very, very well and he can absolutely do justice to the material they're playing...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    That surprised: In addition to: Yeah. :D Frankly, I'm quite happy that they keep doing this rather amazing set. I checked out some of the YouTube clips @onurb posted; pretty good! Bruce sounds very good. I might be in the minority with this view, but I absolutely love Days of Future Past and I...

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    It is certainly true that the Maiden management hasn't pushed to upscale the live production etc. but then again... so what? At this point, I honestly doubt that getting significantly bigger in the US is on their agenda. It certainly was, or might have been not too long ago (SBIT-TFF-ME runs)...

    What songs/albums have you changed your mind the most drastically about, since you started listening to IM?

    I definitely agree with you that the 2015 remasters are, in general, pretty good and certainly a lot better effort than the 1998 ones. I have always liked The X-Factor, but the 2015 remaster certainly gives it a bit beefier sound, which is very welcome. It's obviously not a mind-blowing...

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    I can see what you mean and you made a fair point about many things, like the stage set topic (which I can certainly be wrong about), but the bolded section caught my eye... :P Like, yeah, maybe? But... before the "hints" started dropping in 2022, did anyone seriously think that they'd give...

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    Assuming some kind of a feature is coming indeed, it'll be interesting to see if it's a full-fledged Iron Maiden release, potentially accompanied with some live concert or a selection of live bonuses, e.g like The BBC Archives, or more of a "third party" product with some license blessing from...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Personally, I'm fine with Tattooed Millionaire being neglected. :D I really like those first three songs on it and there's some neat, good-spirited rock'n'roll overall, but to me, it's a bit of a "Sanctuary situation"; effective live tracks, but given the limited time and setlist space left, I'm...

    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    Too early to say anything for sure as of yet (duhh...), but assuming that the 2025 tour will touch the Powerslave & 50th anniversary milestones in some notable way, I'd speculate the following: - as some other(s) have suggested, I think they might, in a way, rehash the LOTB stage set concept of...

    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!)
