It's a tempo argument. And since Maiden are not playing songs lighning fast anymore, I don't see an issue with that. Read What Does This Button Do. There is a page about Icarus and it's tempo.Steve and Bruce hate Icarus.... it has a 0% chance since they pick the set lol
Was that before the start of the tour though?On both legs of the TBoS tour at least. Considering we're in the internet era of no secrets I'm imagining it will happen again, even if there's no obvious channel for it like the Chinese government leak in 2016.
Well, obviously. It wouldn't exactly be a leak if we already knew the setlist. In 2017 the set was deduced from an overbright photo of Bruce with the setlist on paper, and from that it was figured out TGU would be played. Also in 2016, Sonor put up pics of Nicko's drums some time before the first show (they were from the already built stage set) and those too had the setlist visible, but I don't think anyone caught that.
The China setlist was almost dead on too, the only song missing was Powerslave (because they had to rename it The Wicker Man on the setlist) and the only other change was BNW getting scrapped, presumably due to set length concerns.
Not everything is a setlist hint.
The mobile game.on pinball machine it's written 'Legacy of the Beast"
I think they're based on what's on the mobile game.e: Not that I consider it a setlist hint, but some of the picks might've been based on what they're gonna play on the tour.
Steve and Bruce hate Icarus....
Nah, not enough “ELLO BOYS N GIRLS!”It's Nicko.
I hope not. We already got a "Here's Two Thirds of Somewhere Back In Time Again" tour in 2012-2014.setlist hint?

Bruce loves the song (he actually goes in quite details about most of the songs on POM in the book, except Quest Dor Fire, I think) and I'm pretty sure that Steve does like it too.
P.S. If you think there is 0% chance, would you bet your left nut? Right kidney, maybe?
