Judas Priest

I go to see the band and focus more on the performance.

And that is one of the reasons why Maiden are unbeatable.

Maiden aren’t delivering in that regard?

I never cared for a big stage show with pyrotechnics and flashy visuals . I go to see the band and focus more on the performance.

So the stage show doesn't make a difference to you? I definitely found Priest to be lackluster in that regard.

Triple post!

They do deliver, but I found myself headbanging more to Priest.

 

[Diesel 11]

Liking Priest more is definitely not a bad thing; I just think that Halford has sounded weaker than Bruce lately, although the musicians themselves are both solid.

Don't get me wrong, Maiden is also great live, but I enjoyed Priest a little better. I was headbanging more to Priest than Maiden.
I'm a simple dude.

Not only would Maiden headline, but there are also countless other bands more worthy than Priest of opening for Maiden.

Not really, I mean Maiden has cool stage shows and they play great, but I still prefer Priest a little more.

I disagree. Halford may be better than Bruce imo, but otherwise Maiden is superior.

'Halls of Valhalla' was the low point of the show. It's not my favorite to begin with and everyone around me didn't seem to know the song.

That's funny, I think it's the best song of that setlist.

Especially since Maiden seems to hold an opinion that they want to tour with younger bands to give them a boost much as Kiss and, yes, Judas Priest once did for them.

Also bands with Steve's kids in them.

That's weird, at the show I went to in D.C everybody got excited for it when the tape intro started.

Yeah, it was definitely not.

Victim of Changes wins this award.

Necromancer

One thing I forgot to say earlier... 'No Surrender' should never leave the setlist. Amazing song!

Victim of Changes wins this award.

Agree, also The Sentinel and Out in the Cold

 

[The Dissident]

I found out in the cold slightly weaker than the rest but the song doesn't feature any high notes so it would have felt that way based on comparisons to the others in terms of vocal requirements. The Sentinel was absolutely amazing, Victim of Changes' high notes were so high that my ears hurt. Overall the show had a lot of people super excited by the deep cuts

I wish this was still the Maiden attitude. Lots of great Metal bands out there that could use the Maiden bump. The reality is that Maiden is more interested in saving money and propping up their kids.

They toured with Ghost in 2017.

Dream Theater in 2010. Wasn't it Shinedown last year? They're huge here.
