I bet it's Eddie holograms- would certainly tie in with the "worlds" mentioned in the press release and featured in the game/comic books.
Holograms sound interesting - maybe they could recreate the BMW cover as the 'Big Eddie' during Iron Maiden?
 
I guess having Eddie holograms could be fun, but I'm really worried that the show would be too much in the service of gimmicks then.
It could be interesting a few times but I think it would lack much of the charm of what they have now, with just backdrops, models and themselves.

And pyro ...
 
What they need to do is updating stage construction. It's just painted boxes. Maybe they add a detail, like sarcophagus on SBiT or bulkheads on TFF but the general layout hasn't changed in decades. Notice that Somewhere on Tour stage was very light on graphic details and very heavy on the shapes.
 
Yeah. I like the layout, bad as it is for hiding guitarists and Nicko. Screens and stuff would really add something, though, especially if they'e not trying to cram everything including the band into a 757.
 
IDK about the screens. Consider that Maiden are running and jumping all over the stage, against a static backdrop, where the contrast works, and does not take attention away from the stuff that bandmembers do on stage. They also have 5 members upfront, where bands like Metallica or Sabbath have 3 members upfront on a stage of same size, they need to utilize gadgetry to add some dynamism to the scene. I think this is the reason behind reluctance to "update" the stage.
 
Maybe they should just do like they did the last time they based a tour on a computer game (The Ed Hunter Tour)....... leave the stage design alone but excel in set list picking ;)
 
You are never short of a good joke aren't you ? By the way, how's your French ?

I've done stand-up comedy as a hobby, so I'd better not run out of jokes! :lol:

My French is certainly not as good as your written English, but better than the English of most French people I have met. :lol: As you are so interested, I am certainly not fluent, but I can read French and thoroughly enjoy it. ;)

And as we are in the topic of having a sense of humour, feel free to fart in my general direction though! :D
