Honestly, if each album’s song were a player, TFF could bench everyone and just let When the Wild Wind Blows and The Talisman take the field and beat NPFTD on their own.

AMOLAD is the most consistent Maiden album. I don’t have any issues with individual tracks — song arrangements, mixing, and performances are all spot on. Sure, it doesn’t have the classic Maiden sound most people look for, but it’s definitely their most polished album from the reunion era. For...

I think since the FPT they have been using AI. That Alexander the Great poster looks so much like AI.

I haven't really formed an opinion on the setlist yet, apart from the heat of the moment during the live reveal. Honestly, the only bombshell they had was playing three '80s epics. If they thought 'Killers' was supposed to play the same role that 'SIASL' had for FPT, that was quite a...

Of course, there are quite a few Nicko fills that long-time fans will miss. Nicko was just insane in 2008's ROTAM, for example — impossible to replace. But Simon is already doing a spectacular job. The last Nicko version that can be compared to Simon's performance is, in my opinion, TBOSWT...

Hmm, my three favourite songs from the '80s were played — all of them absent for more than 10 years — so I’ll stop asking for too much. Incredible setlist!

YES!!

There's room for one bombastic song now; otherwise, we all know the remaining ones

Ok Bruce, the first 30 minutes didn't blow my mind, I'm sorry.

Simon sounding like 2005 Nicko WOW

I was reading reactions to S.O.A.D.'s shows in Brazil and watching videos of their performances, and this thread came to mind. They have a specific genre—raw and heavy—that doesn't sound like more popular hard-rock/metal-based styles. And yet, they manage to pack stadiums and even have better...

Wasting Love was always included in power ballad collections in Brazil, and I believe in other countries as well. The TV ad would sometimes play its chorus—this was before the internet, when TV was by far the number one source of daily entertainment. The tracklists would always include songs...

1. Be Quick or Be Dead 2. 2 Minutes to Midnight 3. Stranger in a Strange Land 4. Infinite Dreams 5. Rime of the Ancient Mariner 6. Killers 7. Bring Your Daughter... 8. The Trooper 9. Powerslave 10. The Number of the Beast 11. Phantom of the Opera 12. Fear of the Dark 13. Iron Maiden 14...

Alternative fan made version.

The bass intro to Blood on the World's Hands. Then Steve repeated the idea in The Red and the Black, but the former is quite worse imo.

I don't know if anyone on the forum has considered this possibility or if we actually have precise information about it, but could it be that Adrian lost some of his guitars used in live performances during the fire that destroyed his house in L.A.? Or is it the case that the band's main gear is...

To me, there's something about Maiden's weakest albums—they still manage to crank out an all-time classic, even when the rest of the album isn't that great. The Clansman and Sign of the Cross on the Blaze albums, or When the Wild Wind Blows on TFF. But No Prayer for the Dying hasn't a single...

Compared to the TFP Tour, this setlist has many almost certain spots, leaving little room for deep cuts to be included. I don't expect as many novelties as we saw with Alexander, Stranger, and Icarus. I'll be satisfied with Phantom and Rime coming back, two of my favorite live songs from them...

Are the backdrop images to this tour posted somewhere online?

I attended the São Paulo gig last night, and it was an incredibly emotional experience—clearly a disguised farewell from him. Enjoy your retirement, Nicko. You were so brave and professional to continue playing on this tour despite your health issues.
