Originally I had hoped that Nicko would play a song then, but I have changed my mind. All the comparisons that would then be made would be an unpleasant thing. And Nicko should have played his gigs in mid-June then, not July.

That was just the good old rule "Don't look for a new band member that is trying to sound like a clone of the former band member“.

It's true that some fans just can't handle line-up changes. Even after years, although the new member is objectively an asset, they still complain. I think it's unfair. I haven't watched this video though and don't know if that's the case here.

Looks like an attempt to find a constellation that relieves Bruce of his monitor problems without having to use in-ears. In other words, an attempt at a compromise. Sorry, I don't really get it. He must be one of the last of the Mohicans? I personally only know musicians who have switched to...

You could say that, of course. I just can't imagine Bruce saying something like that. Let's see what happens.

Yes, the stage is not what I meant with my post. At this point, it would be an unfortunate statement that would be picked up and discussed everywhere and that would unfairly overshadow a lot of positive things.

Replacing a song at this point in the tour is problematic if you normally play the same setlist every show. It's like an official statement that the band couldn’t handle it. It should become clear during rehearsals or at least after the first show, then it doesn't attract so much attention...

Thanks for the summary! I'm a little surprised that 8 August wasn't chosen as the release date. From a strategic point of view, many fans would have been looking for some compensation for the end of the Maiden tour at this point.

PS. I saw it has already been mentioned here. The many versions are starting to confuse me. :D

I've just realized that we will get another additional version of 2 songs that we didn't know before. 1. Gods Of War (Live in the Studio)* 12. Shoot All The Clowns (Live in the Studio)* * previously unreleased

I still can't really get my head around this idea that it would be such an unsolvable problem for a singer to work with in-ears, because most professional singers use them today. Today there are also so many options, e.g. for especially petite ears etc. etc. You just have to get used to it and...

I would say there are no new recordings, but a reworking in the style of today's popular modern production. But of course we have to wait until the rest is published. Was the teaser made available after certain other discussions gained momentum here and in other groups? :D

Yes, that's true. I already wrote in the “Short question” thread why I think this has been done recently.

2) I don't remember any interview where Steve was asked about his hair. I only see comments from fans about “Steve's wig” from time to time. However, I assume that's just a joke? Although I'm incredibly bad at recognizing fake hair. I once made a comment to my own hairdresser about Princess (?)...

Much more likely than fast food and little exercise in everyday life. :facepalm: But what I found really interesting, which I recently heard from a very experienced tour organizer: He is of the opinion that after the pandemic there is a group of people who don't know yet or not anymore how to...

Absolutely. I know from Mark Tornillo that even in the last few years he still gets comments from some fans that they don't want him as the “new” singer, even though he's been the singer in Accept for so long now. It's definitely better to have a strategy if you want to replace a popular band...

What time did the show start? (I'm trying to find out more about the lighting conditions in which such screens look good). Thank you for the info!

To be honest, when I watch videos of them playing and interacting with each other, it suddenly seems doubtful to me that a band wouldn't want to have this drummer (Simon) in the studio with them also. But we don't know much about another important factor: how exactly Nicko is doing, whether he...

In their press material, Wizard Live (Maiden's event management agency in Germany) tries to make sense of the fact that the band's 50th anniversary is not being celebrated with songs from the band's entire history: “With a setlist from the formative early decades...” (my translation)

I didn't watch a whole show so that I will still have surprises left, but my impressions are very positive. Bruce sounds very good, why did he have to choose “Aces High” as the last song. Now many people are just talking about how he can't sing it anymore and how terrible it sounds, really dumb...
