I mean, even LOTB was a little bit of that. Flight of Icarus hadn't been played for over 30 years, SOTC and Clansman were rarities, Where Eagles Dare and FTGGOG were total curve balls. For a "greatest hits" tour, it was quite diverse.

I really liked it, and as some people said, it's hard to go into details through all the albums in 2 hours so I quite enjoyed what they did with making it about the fans and our connection with Maiden and why they're so special to many people all over the world. It was nice showing them going to...

Maiden's tickets here in Brazil were R$1,200.00 for the "golden circle" pit, with R$ 261.00 fees. That's €246.56, and to people who earn in R$ (minimum wage being R$ 1,621.00). It's crazy expensive to go to concerts here. We do have something called 'meia-entrada,' where students, seniors...

This is amazing! Thank you so much for that, I do prefer this mix to the ones we got at RIR '13 and RAR '14. And yeah, I assume we have something like this for every show if not post-reunion, at least post-2008.

I don't think a tour in the Americas makes financial sense for Blaze nowadays. I think he’d draw good crowds here in SA, but the huge travel distances combined with weak exchange rates make it pretty much impossible to turn a profit.

First performance with Anika.

I would think they have at least almost all post-reunion shows from the screens feed, like some were leaked in 2008 (Santiago, Monterrey and Porto Alegre).

This only reinforces that they’re not involved simply because they agree with everything the band does or act as blind fanatics, but because they resonate with a segment of Maiden fans, especially younger ones. If anything, their presence adds credibility to the documentary, even though I highly...

I quoted it before reading the whole conversation but then I edited and unquoted it because I felt like I was actually replying to everyone and not just you, sorry.

But as I'm saying, at least on my personal experience in Brazil, it doesn't compare. Metallica is indeed way bigger than Maiden and their hits are more well known, but here, while the Ozzy brand is bigger, I'd argue FOTD and The Trooper are more well known than Paranoid or Crazy Train, for...

Here in South America, while 'Ozzy' is a bigger name for non-metalheads, I think Maiden draw bigger crowds than Sabbath/Ozzy. I would say southeastern europe is similar. I also think that, at least in Brazil, the brand 'Iron Maiden' is bigger than 'Black Sabbath'. It's just that Ozzy is Ozzy and...

Bought Rio thinking the same thing. I’ve also been able to learn the songs they’ve been rehearsing and I quite like it.

I'm Brazilian and I'd say overall Argentina, but Chile specifically for Maiden seems a little crazier, they're very big there.

Same. It feels more like an Axl Rose solo record. My issue with it is how overproduced it ended up, basically stitched together from a dozen different musicians. If it had come out in 2002 when it was basically finished, I think the reception would've been way better.

Slash has lots of riff ideas but he doesn't write lyrics or completed songs.

They haven't and they won't. All those "new" songs are actually leftovers from Chinese Democracy sessions in 1999-2002 with vocals from that time and only with instrumental parts rearranged by the new band. It bothers me a little but not that much, I think most GN'R fans are actually interested...

Thanks guys!
