Opening with LOTLDR, a deep cut from an album that they've just dedicated a tour to, is PURE fantasy.

Retiring after LOTB 2019 would have certainly been going out on a HUGE high point in terms of performance and stage show. But we wouldn't have had the Future Past tour, which despite Nickos stroke was still a fantastic fan service tour.

Yeah we've got Raven Age in Glasgow. They're like a more generic Bullet for My Valentine. Still better than Shinedown though. I loved having Killswitch Engage on LOTB, and enjoyed Funeral for a Friend on Dance of Death tour.

Simon will be under a fairly tight contract regarding interviews, social media etc. I have no doubt there are magazines and websites looking to speak to him, but it's not just a case of messaging him on socials and getting a response. Any interviews with him will have to go through Maidens...

Whats everyone's thoughts on the stage production for this? I think the chat about them using big screens in the place of backdrops is likely accurate. TFPT was almost like a test run to see what they could do with it. I'm looking at things like the giant CGI characters and landscapes that are...

Yeah we did have it as song 7 on Eddie Rips Up The World tour. Definitely refreshes things when they play stuff in a different order.

Ok here's my prediction. Be Quick or Be Dead 2 Minutes to Midnight Killers Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Only the Good Die Young The Trooper Wasted Years Rime of the Ancient Mariner Phantom of the Opera Number of the Beast Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden The...

Yeah I reckon BYDTTS is the only NPFTD pick. FOTD we'll get thr title track and maybe BQOBD.

Realistically it's just a reference to them putting on a very big production to celebrate their 50th. I do think Rime has a good chance of being played, but this isn't a hint.

Simon will have roughly zero input on the setlist. He's very much a hired gun at this point.

I expect the set will be full of classics with a couple of deep cuts. Maybe one song that hasn't been played before. I think Bruce's comments about thing never done before is referring to the staging/production.

Realistically that's just not going to happen. If it was worthwhile to do then Maiden management would have already done so.

Aye its just the typical Bruce stubbornness, ego and arrogance. Who cares that I've clearly been unable to hit some of the high notes for a decade? I'm more interested in bragging about doing a sub standard job in the original tuning than dropping down a step and knocking it out the park...

Dave seems very happy there. No doubt it will do nothing to stop all the idiots saying he's about to retire at any minute!

I reckon Nicko could do well doing some kind of Maiden Fan Club Podcast. Almost an extension to listen with Nicko.

Not sure if this has been posted already? Bruce did a 2+ hour podcast with Rich Roll. Lots of interesting stuff: I wish Maiden did more long form interviews like this.

Yeah, loads of bands downtune a bit live and no one notices. Not that Maiden will do it anyway.

The sets have been roughly the same length for a while now I think? Didn't seem to have anything to do with Nickos stroke so I doubt it will change.

At the end of the day I'm sure Joe wanted to go out and build his own career as a drummer/drum tech rather than just get paid to be on standby for several more years with Maiden. So he's made some connections and is out doing his own thing. Because of this Simon was put on standby, and as...
