All Ripper really has are the screams. I've always found his "regular" singing voice extremely off-putting. Not every song needs a high pitched wail.

Regarding event shirts - I think they peaked with the Book of Souls 2016/2017 tours and have never quite been the same quality art since then. This is likely more to do with the base Eddies per tour but a good deal of those BOS tour event shirts are some of my very favorites. I'm just glad...

An official reissue of the Soundhouse Tapes. I don't have the means to afford a real copy or likely end up with a bootleg, and the reissue like 20 years ago came and went incredibly fast. I wish they would do a larger reissue of this and am actually surprised they haven't done so yet.

Nights of the Dead was so awful I'm guessing they have just decided to not bother with live albums any more. ;) Which is odd considering they were such a guarantee for so many tours. I also assume Nicko not being 100% is a likely explanation. I'd love to have some kind of documentation of this...

I still really enjoy Senjutsu. I also completely understand folks who say it's overlong and could use trimming because it definitely can. I still enjoy it even despite those issues. The title track itself is indeed plodding and repeats sections a bit too much, but Maiden has never really...

At this point I kind of wish they would retire Painkiller from their setlists. It's a song Rob has barely ever been able to perform adequately. Doing an instrumental version or something would be cool. I wish they were doing more newer songs but I don't really care as I'm not seeing them on...

This More Balls to Picasso release will likely be something I stream only. I've never had issues with the original in any way, it's a time capsule of where he was back in 1994. I've always thought it was a very interesting and creative record and am not sure it really need to be metallified in...

Spambot - that was an incredibly well written review. Thank you so much for your insight!

Now we are rehashing the same setlist complaints that have been around since at least 1999 (first tour I remember being online for). The rotational thing is never happening. I don't know why folks think it will. For better or worse, Maiden as a whole (likely just Steve) doesn't want to rotate...

Man, thanks for posting that Aces High video, it never ceases to crack me up. Somehow worse than Anton Maiden haha.

I don't get it, if you don't like this then don't pay for it? It's certainly worth more than 50 Eur if a ticket is also included. I'd never pay for this but I'm sure some fans would for various reasons. I've long thought the Trooper parties were also overpriced and they are. But every show...

Epic level troll job by naming the forthcoming book Infinite Dreams and then never playing that song again.

Are you bored with Murders in the Rue Morgue, Killers, Phantom of the Opera, Rime of the Ancient Mariner and/or Seventh Son? I'd call all of those classics and hardly overplayed ones at that. I get the feedback but it's not like any of those are super common songs. Anyone who has ever seen...

Something like - What just happened to the television? Run out of money, put in the meter, what is this? Why? Who knows haha.

Are you all really comparing barely acceptable cell phone audio to 42+ years of documented Nicko playing to form these opinions? Under those circumstances, nobody would ever measure up. Still seems like a lot of folks had their minds made up before he played a note. Not accusing anyone here...

There's no point in voting for Iron Maiden, it's never not going to be played. You could argue the same for The Trooper as well. I'd say Aces High but only as an encore, I still think it works as an opener even though I don't think Bruce has ever done an amazing job on it. I'll go outside the...

I just listened through a Spotify playlist of the set list and my only real complaint of the ordering of songs is Murders following Ides of March instead of Wrathchild. Why not just start the set with Ides and go directly into Wrathchild? Ides into Murders is something that will never quite...

I'm not understanding how this setlist or show was "overhyped". Overhyped by who and in what context? By Bruce? It's entirely possible he actually believes this is a killer show with unexpected songs and surprises. I don't think the band really has a huge pulse on what the perpetually...

Not throwing in Running Free, Sanctuary, or even Drifter was a big surprise for me. Instead we get Wasted Years...again. Still - Murders in the Rue Morgue! Killers! Rime of the Ancient Mariner! Seventh Son of a Seventh Son!

I will say this, and I give the likelihood of this happening at around 0, but the screens theoretically mean they could rotate songs around since they aren't dependent on physical drapes. Maybe they swap songs for a second night in a city?
