I did not know where to post this. Really sad news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz0np02znezo

I know. It also landed at #1 on the chart for releases including a replica 24 page World Slavery Tour programme. ;)

That is not the official albums chart, just a subsection of it. You can find the top 100 here: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/20251205/7502/ It got to #10 on the album sales chart and the physical album sales chart, and #5 on the vinyl albums chart...

Yeah. I would have thought they could have told Rod: “We are not playing that song”, but it seems that after the lacklustre performances they are quite eager to blame him. “He is a Yorkshire man, he can take it” to (partially) quote them.

You are such a party pooper breaking the PR hype!

If that is the case, it beggars belief that the manager and not the musicians playing the song drove the decision based on some kind of stage set gimmick!

If we want to be anal, we can highlight that Where Eagles Dare was dropped from the selist during the 1993 tour and was not played in Dublin (I am assuming this is the show you went to; sorry if that was not the case). Definitely an unplayed rarity for you (and me) until 2005. :P

What about For the Greater Good of God and Where Eagles Dare? Those surely were played live fewer times than Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son post-1993…

He is still very much part of the band, hence them getting the Iron Maiden support slot.

Nice to see Eddie with Nicko!

Agreed. The overlap with the setlists of some previous tours was significant (12 of those songs were already played on the SBIT tour in 2008 and 11 on the Maiden England tour in 2013). Legacy of the Beast is probably the best tour they have ever done, from the stage props to a set representing...

Managed to get a ticket for this after some stressful moments with the different ticket sales platforms. I can't wait to see the band at such an iconic venue!

I contributed with my money to that: I went to two shows of act #2 and one show of act #3. Act #6 will be lucky to see me twice in 2026!

Maiden is undeniably a big and also commercial band! A heavy metal one, but big and commercial nonetheless.

That was definitely a great idea. I do not think they would be so huge without those history tours revisiting the 80s. I am also grateful, as it gave those of us who became fans in the early 90s a chance/many chances to hear those songs performed live by the band.

Please, don’t be ridiculous. There are a good number of rock bands on the list, and some hard rock and heavy metal too.

Metallica’s charitable efforts are commendable.

It has the advantage of not being a muddy field though! Out of the different great outdoor places I have been to gigs over the years, the most special ones have probably been Cardiff Castle (Suede and Manic Street Preachers; it started raining heavily when the Manics were playing Tsunami and at...
