And most setlists are good for the first timers, as long as they contain the absolute hits - which this set certainly does, and more.

Now that is true, though it so happens that these opinions and taste very often convert into a whinefest because Maiden don't cater to one's personal preferences, or become the focal point of all discussions. Detail orientation sometimes gets in the way of ones own enjoyment. It is very fair to...

Well, playing the same song over and over is about as realistic as Steve singing Hallelujah in falsetto dressed in a minister's robe, which is so outrageous an argument that you can't even prove a point with it. :smartarse: Though I would love to see a setlist with Angel, Invaders, Quest and...

No, it really isn't. This could very well be it. Enjoy the moment, because it may be your last gig. We should be happy they are touring this cycle at all, let alone bringing in some killer and epic songs. "More wants More", is however, a bit of a poor argument.

Putin has been offered many defacto concessions. They have tried that, but ultimately he isn't interested in anything other than Ukraine surrendering. Putis doesn't seem to be into saving face, but rather, he has doubled down over and over.

I really, really dislike No Prayer. I can cut Lulu some slack, considering it's more of a Lou Reed album with Metallica as the backing band than Metallica featuring Lou Reed. Maiden should have taken a break in 1990 and saved ...Daughter and perhaps Tailgunner for FoTD instead.

I'd vote for Lulu over No Prayer.

SSoaSS has The Prophecy, which ruins an otherwise perfect track streak. AMOLAD wins.

Sure, but Best of The Beast, which got the ball rolling, Ed Huntour + the game were retrospective and a celebration of the band's career. BNW was a bit of a gamble in terms of viability of Maiden as a (current) recording artist, after several albums of relative flops, especially since Maiden...

I think it is quite telling that he isn’t credited on the physical release. He told them not to credit because he did not want his name on that turd and he wanted to cover his back. No top, or even decent, mastering engineer would generate that level of distortion. I would imagine they had...

Wow. That's a heavy number - congrats!

Oh, I'm not joking. I find that likely if Shirley goes off.

Would love to, but that album is just filled with noise. Heh. Heh.

And that guy just might be named Tony Newton. Ugh.

I am hungry. And seeing Priest tomorrow.

That's a tough one. They are both 10/10 songs in my book, so I can't really articulate fully why I prefer DoD to it, but I just know in my gut that I do. I think it has to do with the buildup in the song and the abundance of melodies in combination with a set of lyrics I find compelling, which...

Sir, this is the Arguments thread, not the Statements thread. :D I take it you are referring to some movie?

Today's list: 1. Brave New World 2. A Matter of Life and Death 3. Powerslave 4. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. 5. The Number of the Beast. 6. Somewhere in Time 7. Piece of Mind. 8. Iron Maiden. 9. The Final Frontier 10. The X Factor. 11. Senjutsu 12. Dance of Death 13. Killers 14. The Book of...

I went with those as well. I'd say I rate Powerslave-7th Son higher, but I find Beast-Powerslave be more of an embodiment, somehow.

It has, as usual, some great riffing. But the songs don't hold up in large part due to a lack of hooks and vocal lines and melodies that don't gel with the music.
