LEGACY OF THE BEAST 2019

[Black Wizard]

Don't worry about Snowflake Collin.

As I've said before, I think there is very little chances of any setlist changes. The current set is a combination of songs, props and lights - any changes to the songs would require a change to the light show and potential new props and backdrops. They'd also probably have to rehearse a new/different song which they might not necessarily have the time for considering each band members' often busy schedules. Most importantly, in my opinion, is that the tour is advertised as The Legacy of the Beast with a focus on particular themes based on the game and changing the set would mean one part of the world gets something different from the other part of the world that got the tour. A different package for the same tour means people complain and Maiden have to answer media questions about it. The same package is fair and everyone gets the same thing.

I agree it seems highly unlikely they will change anything. The Maiden "Official Legacy of the Beast 2019 tour playlist" on spotify is made up of the 2018 setlist, and the title is followed by a link to the tickets. It certainly seems as though they are selling the setlist as the one that will be played.

 

[LooseCannon]

Good.

 

[Brigantium]

It's a strong and well thought out setlist

 

[Magnus]

Copycat.

 

[Iron Brody]

For what it’s worth, I would be okay if they dropped “The Clansman.” It’s not that I dislike it or don’t want to see them play it. I just wouldn’t be upset if they replaced it with something else like, for example, Paschendale. I know it’ll never happen though.

 

[Black Bart]

I wouldn't be surprised if "For The Greater Good of God" were replaced by a more popular song (whether it would be a "better" one is just a matter of taste ).

 

[KidInTheDark666]

FTGGOG won't be dropped simply because it's far too big part of the stage set.

 

[Perun]

Now there will be a persistent rumour that they will drop FTGGOG and people will pay no attention to the fact that it came out of nowhere.

 

[Poto]

I heard they are dropping For the Greater Good of God.

 

[Black Wizard]

I heard they are dropping For the Greater Good of God.

I heard the same thing.

 

[Ariana]

I hope you're wrong.

 

[LooseCannon]

People have been saying that since before the first leg of the tour was over. It won't get dropped, nor should it. Not only is the song a masterpiece of reunion-era Maiden, it's the centrepiece of the setlist.

 

[Whooten]

it's the centrepiece of the setlist.

Literally, there are 6 songs before and 6 songs after FTGGOG in the main set, not including encores.

 

[Randalf]

I wouldn't be surprised if "For The Greater Good of God" were replaced

I would be.



Gotta love how there was playing Alexander first and then dropping FTGGOG.

Ever had a conversation that you realize you've had before
Isn't it strange?

 

[mihai]

There’s no reason for dropping FTGGOG. I only recall those majestic moments when thousands of people were singing the chorus in Athens last year.. what a show...

 

[Brigantium]

I was over the moon at getting FTGGOG. I've gradually come to the realisation that I would have loved to have heard AMOLAD live in full, so the more of it they play at shows in future, I'll welcome that.

 

[bornless1]

Marrying my wife. Experiencing AMOLAD live. the birth of my child....the greatest moments of my life. Not necessarily in that order...

I'm pretty sure all it took was a slightly weak crowd reaction on one YouTube video from Tallinn for people to start saying they were about to drop it.
