Here’s something promising, especially for this of us who aren’t able to catch Maiden in 2025 They’ve got the picks labeled with 2025-26…

BoS Live Chapter has the best Adrian Smith solo in Number of the Beast IMO. His use of the wah is so expressive, and the last big high note ringing out is pure ecstasy. Other than that Live After Death is hands down the best overall.

I disagree - the tour is supposedly all encompassing. It probably depends on what songs surround it (or follow, if it's the opener). Moonchild into Die with your Boots On would be awesome (imo)

My opinion - Moonchild is the best opener song - the way the track builds up to an explosive intro for the band. Not many other Maiden tracks have that. Aces High a close second, and I'd be happy to hear it again provided Bruce's vocals are in good shape (possible but maybe not). There are a lot...

That means half the casuals there do know it. cheer up

It could be for sure. There's a number of tracks that could be closers, but DWYBO would be particularly good I think

Die With Your Boots On will genuinely be a great closing song, hasn't been played by the band in 20 years, and I think is a underrated-fan favourite. And the big middle section with the Davey > Bridge > Adrian solo section is one of their strongest I think. And a big ending. What's not to love!

I"m assuming you found that info via Companies Registry? - I had looked there a while back and was wondering if Simon would show up anywhere, but as you say, he'll 100% be on a contract. Even if he does an album with Maiden, I'd say he will be credited as performing drums on the album, but will...

Iron Maiden covers Dream Theatre covering Iron Maiden - Gangland

I think it's just a spare in case the hardwired has an issue. Charlie would be wireless to be able to move around as you'd expect.

Ahh yep thats a good point - I just wonder if the L & R signals are perhaps coming from the on stage cabs (at least for H) as I'm not sure what other audio source his rig would have that is able to be provided to FOH in stereo.. When I saw them in September last year, I of course waited for 10...

Yes - Charlie is tech for Simon.

Yeah all pretty straightforward - except the pedal between the two TS808s is a switch, not a chorus. I believe the Peavey TubeFX rack unit was doing modulation, (chorus..) Davey's rig is pretty similar to how it was with the JMP1's - just that the Axe FX III is providing the JMP1 sound rather...

I also think the Somewhere Back in Time and En Vivo tours had some of Adrian's best live tones. In my opinion - followed closely by some of the 2016-2019 lead tones - there's a video somewhere (I can't find anywhere now though..) of some shaky phone footage from 2018/19 I think, of the solo...

All good - I had made some edits to my original repsonse, * double switch between TS808s is a Whirlwind Multi selector. The units on the top of the rack - * blue unit - that's a Peterson strobe tuner unit I think? * 4 button switch - I believe that is used to select between the wireless...

- Unit above the pedal rack (right at the top of the rack) is the Wireless receivers. - Black utility pedal between the TS808s - Whirlwind multi-selector. - Unit below Lexicon is a Peavey TubeFX - I think for SBIT the rig was similar but using the 6100 series 30th Anniversary heads? Or he may...

I think there could be a case for just drumming up general excitement and social media engagement.. I think we forget sometimes that outside of the forums, there are a LOT of Maiden fans (albeit maybe more 'mainstream' Maiden fans) who won't necessarily have been talking about them on here for...

I don't know if it would be realistic for a whole tour, but as a special 1-off (or a run of nights..) that would be insanely cool.. Imagine Rime, middle section, with orchestral instrumentation.

There's the video of Hallowed from a few years ago where Janick's rhythm patch amp failed, so he went off stage to sort with his tech, and H ended up playing the solo. Jan's solo patch worked so he also played it anyway, but it was SO cool to see H play the Hallowed solo again. It does make me...

There is a photo from Maiden England tour that shows the Voodoo GCP on the stage, so I would assume the GCX switching system may also have been present in the rack? Of course H could have had the GCP unit but not the GCX switcher, but makes sense that they changed together.
