It's an opinion, not a factual statement. The clue is in the phrase 'I think.' If I say I think red flowers are more beautiful than yellow ones, are you going to ask me for evidence, too?

That's a pretty naive and idealistic view that doesn't align with reality. Putting you on my ignore list for know since you are spamming a NPFTD thread with this nonsense. Seems like a ridiculous idea to be honest. And I love Blaze, saw him perform 7 songs of Virtual XI last year.

I really disagree with that. I think Iron Maiden fans are sophisticated and discerning when it comes to the setlist. Not many bands can challenge their fans like Maiden does with each new album. A Matter of Life and Death was played in its entirety, and The Book of Souls took up a significant...

You should help Maiden with their setlist strategy then! I'm sure "as long as we don't get booed of the stage we can play anything" will go down great in the Maiden board room.

Seems like you are due for a Maiden history lesson. In 1998, Maiden attempted to do a Blaze Bayley-era focused set, but both Don’t Look to the Eyes of a Stranger and Fortunes of War were dropped after just a week of touring. Blood on the World’s Hands and The Aftermath were played once but...

Phantom, Running Free and Iron Maiden from the debut, Wrathchild and Killers from the second album.

I'm sure theres a reason why BNW songs are revisited more often than NP and VXI. But I would also perfer NP and VXI stuff over the best of tour coming this summer.

Having 8 out of 10 BNW songs in the set can not really be compared to having 7 out of 8 songs of VXI in the set lol. There are better and there are worse albums to base a tour on, and even if I personally like No Prayer and Virtual XI they are no where near AMOLAD, BNW and TBOS.

See you in 2035!

! I feel like his extensive touring history doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves.

Janick has and had a 80's look, but he fitted into the 90's Maiden!

Yes, a great recording. The b-sides were overdubbed and I'm sure they did it with the full thing because Blaze messed up a few lyrics that night!

The live album from a few years back is great!

I remember visiting St Nicks and Cart & Horses back in 2009. Very cool read!

In hindsight, it's crazy to think that at times, Maiden played six songs from No Prayer for the Dying live, while other times, they played seven songs from Virtual XI.

Some critics claim that by 1998, Iron Maiden was past their prime, citing that they were out of breath and no longer at their best. However, they proved the naysayers wrong by delivering their longest performance ever that year. On April 22, 1998, they kicked off the Virtual XI World Tour with a...

Not every day you have an actual former Iron Maiden member in the forum.

Just under 3 months to go! Don't disappoint me Simon!

I absolutely love this album. It's such a shame it didn't get more exposure outside of the 1990-1993 setlists. It was incredible to hear some of it again during 'Give Me Ed 'Til I'm Dead' in 2003—the intro and the singalong were amazing. That tour was fantastic, and it really brought the songs...

Great second single. Both Black Light and White Noise has to be in a setlist in future tours. I know Wasted Years has been in the set for a while, but the Smith/Kotzen material is so strong so they could do a more obscure Maiden song. Gangland?
