Something like this would be a good set list for Blaze Bayley if he opened for Maiden: Ghost in the Machine Escape Velocity Prayers of Light Silicon Messiah Kill and Destroy 18 Flights Calling You Home A Thousand Years Stare at the Sun Nine songs, clocking in at 41 minutes. Mostly greatest...

This is a cover of "Sun and Steel", but it's reinterpreted as a pretty acoustic song with a female singer. There's a weird contrast between the harsh lyrics about death and how upbeat and pleasant this version sounds. This is a mash-up rather than a cover, but I think it still counts. It...

Definitely agreed. I'm certain it's Harris who pushed for "DOTC". He probably had so much fun playing "The Clansman" for the past five years, this would be the next closest thing. I've mentioned a few times that this is probably the most fun/interesting Maiden song from the 21st century to play...

Good catch. I listened again and you're right. Haha! In fairness to Harris, Dickinson interrupted him doing one of the few non-straightforward parts of that song (the descending riff during the pause in Smith's solo). I wonder if he would have been okay with it if Dickinson tried that literally...

My take on how difficult each of the songs is for Harris to play: "Caught Somewhere in Time" - fairly easy for the left (fretting) hand, brutally tough for the right (plucking) hand. This is one of the hardest galloping songs in the band's catalogue due to its length. "Stranger in a Strange...

I'm fairly sure Harris doesn't play any power chords on "Sign of the Cross" on the studio version. But he uses them extensively during the verses, choruses, and guitar solos live.

My final update from Slovenia in case these have been interesting or useful for anyone: Yesterday I visited Piran, on the Adriatic coast. It's a small town, and it felt like I was in nearby Italy. There wasn't much to do - it's more about relaxing by the water. Today, as planned, I hiked to...

I just got back from the show. An incredible night! I arrived at the venue around 19:15, and was in the fan pit fifteen minutes later. (I feel bad for the people in the general admission area. Someone in the fan pit could have arrived at 21:00 and still got a better spot than someone in GA who...

Here's a second travel update in case anyone finds this useful or interesting: I spent most of yesterday exploring Ljubljana. In the morning, I hiked up to the castle. It was worth a visit, and provided a great view of the city (and the distant mountains). After, I explored the crowded central...

Not sure if this will be interesting or useful to anyone, but I've been in Ljubljana for three days now. I think I crammed in a lot of activities: The first day was fairly quiet (my flight arrived late afternoon). Getting from the airport to downtown with public transit was cheap and...

Is anybody going to the British Lion show tonight?

Bumping an old thread. I've seen 50 songs so far (updated as of May 2025): 13 times each Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden The Trooper 10 times each The Number of the Beast 9 times each Wasted Years 7 times each Aces High Hallowed Be Thy Name Run to the Hills 5 times each 2 Minutes to...

Also without too much thought going into it: Powerslave Somewhere in Time The X Factor Seventh Son of a Seventh Son The Final Frontier Brave New World Piece of Mind Senjutsu Iron Maiden Killers Virtual XI The Number of the Beast A Matter of Life and Death Dance of Death The Book of Souls Fear...

Without too much thought/effort going into to: Rime of the Ancient Mariner Infinite Dreams Sign of the Cross Powerslave When the Wild Wind Blows The Clansman Revelations The Number of the Beast Phantom of the Opera Blood Brothers

Sorry you can't make it this year. It's a lot of money to travel overseas for a concert and I was debating whether it's worth it. I tried to rationalize it - I usually do some type of trip each year, and due to the pandemic, I haven't gone anywhere outside of Canada in three full years now, so I...

I'll be there (heading over from Toronto, Canada). I'm really looking forward to seeing the concert of course (and British Lion's), but I'm also looking forward to spending a few extra days in Ljubljana. It looks like a beautiful city, and it's close to a bunch of natural attractions (mountains...

Based on the dates on the shirts now available, it looks like they won't be adding any more shows this year.

You got it! It's "Deja Vu". I'll explain: Clue 1: you suffer before the guitar solo "You Suffer" is a song by metal band Napalm Death. It's about 1.5 seconds long. In "Deja Vu", Dave Murray's guitar solo starts about 1.5 seconds into the song. Clue 2: the song's chorus and key signature...

Keep the guesses going: Clue 1: you suffer before the guitar solo Clue 2: the song's chorus and key signature contradict each other Clue 3: Clue 4: Kasparov and Karpov Clue 5: not the seventh son of a seventh son... but close Clue 6: the writing credit on this song is reasonably common in...
