    IRON MAIDEN SURVIVOR #7: Results -> Hallowed Be Thy Name wins for the 6th time!

    As good as the 80s albums are and though choices I made during these albums rounds, it was nowhere near the dilemma that I am facing now. For me it shows that I love so much more reunion era Maiden than 80s Maiden. Brave New World vs Ghost of the Navigator, Empire or Red and Black, Avalon vs...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    So what do you think about this scenario - guys are rehearsing and trying to make Alexander work, but it is just not happening. So instead thay opt to play Rime of the Ancient Mariner like on the orginal tour. Would you be happy with that switch or still prefer to witness Alexander? Or worst...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Hypothetically, if Maiden doesn't do hybrid tour, but just focus revisiting Somewhere in Time, what songs would be in the setlist instead of Senjutsu. 5 classics, 5 from SiT and 5-6 empty slots. Phantom and 2 Minutes to Midnight would be nice throwback to Somewhere on Tour. Futureal would suit...

    IRON MAIDEN SURVIVOR #7: Results -> Hallowed Be Thy Name wins for the 6th time!

    Wtf, it's the first time I'm really dissapointed with the round's results. Out of the Silent Planet - one the best if not the best galloping song, the gallop, the melody, just sublime Maiden. These Colours don't run - great intro, awesome chorus, nice instrumental. Song that has highest hope of...

    which one song would you definitely like to have back in the next setlist?

    One song to choose, then most definitely Dance of Death. Songs I would really like to witness live and have somewhat realistic chance: Phantom of the Opera, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Brave New World, Afraid to Shoot Strangers Songs I would like to experience live, but have zero chance: Out...

    Set list stats (reunion era - 1999 to 2022)

    Yeah, to each their own. I don't consider Ghost of the Navigator as an epic, more like extended rocker. It's not a rocker nor epic, somewhere in between. Out of those songs mentioned here lately (Ghost, Blood Brothers, Red and Black and Book of Souls), I would say Book of Souls fits the most as...

    Which three reunion tours you personally consider their most interesting ones?

    Of course, we know that, but it's still fun to play with ideas. Also, I might add this example - Book of Souls tour was about Book of Souls album, but Maiden added Powerslave because it fitted with pyramids stage theme.

    Which three reunion tours you personally consider their most interesting ones?

    In keeping with the theme of Future Past tour I would add Brave New World and Speed of Light and Sun and Steel also to the list

    Rainmaker

    For me top 3 rockers of reunion era Maiden are the same - The Wicker Man, Rainmaker and Stratego. Interesting to think that we have been lucky to hear 2 of them live in the past 4-5 years.

    Set list stats (reunion era - 1999 to 2022)

    Yup, I would also say Book Of Souls and The Red and the Black are in third place in reunion era epics all thanks to one extensive tour.

    Set list stats (reunion era - 1999 to 2022)

    So, if the info on Setlist.fm is correct, then For the Greater Good of God is the most played reunion era epic (thanks to LotB tour), followed closely by Dance of Death. What would you guess is third most popular reunion era epic?

    Rainmaker

    Truly great little rocker. Very nice melodic guitar work and catchy chorus. In my opinion Top 3 song on the album and Top 3 rocker of the reunion era. If Nicko couldn't play Wickerman anymore, but band would want to play another short rocker from reunion era, then Rainmaker would be my choice...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Had a chance to see Accept in my home town today, they were quite good. But I didn't want to talk about them, I wanted to talk about their support act, who was all female tribute band The Iron Maidens. Had great fun seeing and listening them (had more fun than at a Manowar concert few days...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I was looking at the picture Maiden posted on their Facebook page regarding the new collection of Royal Mail stamps. And I wondered, will they use one of the stamps background as a stage set big background cover (on the picture circled with red). It seems similar to the one they used on Book Of...

    IRON MAIDEN SURVIVOR #7: Results -> Hallowed Be Thy Name wins for the 6th time!

    Why only 2 songs got eliminated in this round?

    IRON MAIDEN SURVIVOR #7: Results -> Hallowed Be Thy Name wins for the 6th time!

    I don't understand, why some members don't use maximum number of votes. Because that's what this game is all about. You have to make hard decisions, you have to choose your least favourite songs from your favourite songs. If you can't make though decisions here, can you make them in other life...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Well, one thing for sure. You can't say Maiden always does the same thing. Yes, they are stubborn on some things, they don't rotate their setlist from night to night, they don't post different concerts on their Youtube account, they're not perfect. But playing AMOLAD in it's entirety...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    How would you predict Senjutsu tracks being played if you compare them with other reunion tracks? For example I would say Hell on Earth seems like When the Wild Wind Blows - last track on the album, should be concert centerpiece song, definetly will play it. With show centerpiece status I would...

    Prediction: Does Maiden do one more album? And what's the theme if so?

    It would be interesting to see what kind of Eddie there is to depict? Maybe some kind of mountain climbing Eddie that they haven't done. I would also like to see philisopher Eddie with scrolls or sands of time theme. Or for final album have an actual Iron Maiden torture device on the back...
