    The Future Past tour 2023

    Honestly I feel ATG is actually quite easy to memorize, I feel like there's a clear order of the events and I guess for Bruce that makes it even easier. DOTC and Parchment are both more challenging imo but I also have a harder time remembering DOTC's lyrics in order as it's basically just one...

    Worldwide album sales

    I'd say Live After Death sold somewhere around the POM/Powerslave numbers, so that would boost up the numbers a bit as well.

    Iron Maiden Covers

    This might be my new favorite Maiden cover band.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Yeah, I'd say that is more likely than changing the current setlist for the whole NA/SA leg next year.

    Yeah, and those changes (Maiden England 2014 and TBOS 2017) were also when they were revisiting markets they already went with the same tour. On ME 2012/13 and LOTB 2018/19 where it was one continent and the other the following year, they kept the same setlist. It will probably stay the same.

    Alexander instead of TWOTW.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I don't really know why but Geddy was an instant click for me despite its uniqueness. LaBrie and Mustaine however, never tolerated it.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    The guy from Iron Maiden Brasil on IG said he talked to Charlie Charlesworth, Nicko’s roadie, and indeed CSIT’s arrangement just before the solo was changed and some of the fills were removed to keep the performance stable and at a better tempo. I do feel FOTD and Trooper are slightly faster...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I’d say early 2022 at most, I think they decided to play the Senjutsu trio at LOTB 2022 after changing plans.

    But are you a true fan to prove it?

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I doubt we would get a SIT tour. Nicko did say in 2021 at a Rock N' Roll Ribs party that the 2023 tour would be the Senjutsu tour and also that Steve asked him not to play Alexander with his band Titanium Tart because they would still play it with Maiden. That just points to a Senjutsu tour with...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    It would also help making Maiden England more special with return of some 7th Son songs after a while, even with the same setlist as it happened. But yeah, the way it happened it was basically SBIT pt. II featuring Prisoner and 7th Son (and ATSS). Such a missed oportunity for playing Killers...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I'd say CSIT as well. Ok, being the opener counts, but everyone around me was just shouting the intro riff when it was played on the PA. When the band entered it was madness.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Such a fun setlist. I wish Maiden did more non-album tours like this one and LOTB, with more unorthodox songs picked and more career spanning overall. History idea was nice but Maiden England was just a SBIT part 2 which really sucked imo. I'd personally love a new album and an album tour right...

    They did, yes.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Like Lego said, the Trooper intro fill isn't really that hard, it can be wondered if it is a stylistic choice. But of course, specially on the first 3 shows it was reaally basic. However, I think he already sounded a lot better today, it's concerning but let's watch the tour unfold.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I agree that Parchment would be a better choice but I think that actually Steve was the one that pushed Celts to be played. Might be a little harder, but I bet he likes playing those patterns.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I think he sounded a lot better today actually, but yeah, noticed that on the screens as well. However I think if he wasn't feeling well he wouldn't be there, genuinely think he's enjoying even if playing a little simpler.
