Hints collection thread for 2023

Walking On Glass is more than just one bootleg title of that song. It became early something like a a semi-official title for that solo (or song, if you will. It's very much worked out, so it's really more a song than just a guitar solo, in addition of drums and bass later in the song it's actually more Maiden last instrumental track yet, even if not released on an official album).
Anyway, I seriously doubt they're gonna play this one since Nicko stated not long ago that they won't do a drum solo again because of waste of setlist time.

It was named like that because the harmony after Adiran and Dave solos is from a song called ''Walking In The Air'' (you can also check Rainbow's instrumental ''Snowman''), but the solos are original. This was a hint for the SIT tour.
 
Yeah but is there any evidence that the band called it this?

My personal opinion is that bootleggers used this name by mistake thinking Walking on the Air was actually called Walking on Glass.

@GhostofCain I've seen a Manic Street Preachers bootleg before featuring a song called Toon Army.

It could have been a raucous Geordie crowd deserving their own track. Or it might be the bootleggers thinking that the chorus in Tsumani goes 'Toon Army, Toon Army" instead. :lol:

Edit: Found it! They apparently renamed Tsunami as Toon Army at a gig in Newcastle Times Square

Bruce apparently stated the following at the end of the Rock in Rio show:

"We wanna see you all alive and well next year" and he closed it by laughing and making a sound that almost sounded like he wasn't supposed to tell anyone that. So there will be a show at Rock in Rio (or in Brazil at least) in 2023.

(at 1:25)

I'm sorry if this has been posted already but I thought it was worth mentioning

How real is this profile? Seen a few hints here and there and been chatting with a good friend about him/ her/ it but do we know who the person behind the profile is?

Not asking these questions because I doubt @Samantas5855 but I'm just generally curious as to who Daniel is and if he's someone close to the band or just an ordinary person trying to stir things up.

Normally I'd take things like this with a grain of salt but ever since the Belshazzar's Feast thing I don't trust these cryptic teasers anymore....

Well good point but I don't expect some guy on social media to spill information like dates, tour names or something like that out of the ordinary. Especially if this "Daniel" is close to the band (which is unlikely).

IF this person really knows something that we don't I think they'll be building up to something. Otherwise I just think we should ignore him as a "valuable source of information" regarding the hints collection thread for 2023.

The only valuable source of informations are, for the moment, Kevin Shirley (through his FB and Instagram TheCaveman! profiles) and Roy Z (also through his FB and Instagram profiles). And, of course, the band itself on its FB, IG and Twitter profiles. ;)

It's the opposite for me.

EDIT: also posting way too often

Isn't that the point? I can't remember well, but the original Daniel (Belshazzar's feast campaign) also posted quite often or not?
