Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

[Iron Lurker]

Watching the Stockholm show right now. Damn....what a start. Three of my all time favourite tracks at the start of the show. What an explosive kick in. Then the Clansman......why????

Because it's a good, crowd pleasing song they haven't done in awhile....Damn, you're so negative - you must be great at parties

 

[GhostofCain]

@Black Wizard @Black Abyss Babe you two are going to witness a special gig. On the day the whole band turns 60+.

I am tempted to go to that one too.

Haha,I am never invited....I wonder why!!!!

 

[giratina]

It takes too long to start,then it goes on forever.

I agree, IMO Clansman would have been a 10/10 if it was 5 minutes long.

I think this is the problem for over 20 years now.

 

[Whooten]

Well The Clansman was released in 1998.

 

[Gk1]

Indeed but the repetition issues got serious since 1995

 

[Diesel 11]

“Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” has a shockingly high amount of repetition and an instrumental section that easily could’ve been shortened. Why no complaints about that song?

If you are talking about the mid part it is indeed long but at least in my opinion also adds new accents and background guitars as it progresses and provides a good enough built up.

instrumental section that easily could’ve been shortened.

Yeah, not really. It's the perfect amount.
The chorus is repetitive as hell though

 

[Gk1]

But still the chorus fits the song. It has nothing to do with the stale repetition we see in the latest albums

Oh I agree! I wouldn’t change it at all. I just think it’s funny that someone would complain about one song but overlook another that’s doing exactly the same thing when it’s boiled down to that.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Maiden have had repetitive choruses for decades.

*cough* Wrathchild, Caught Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, The Clairvoyant, Fear of the Dark, Running Free *cough*

 

[Number 6]

I don't think "The Clairvoyant"'s chorus is repetitive. It doesn't even repeat the same lines apart from "there's a time to live", and actually ends as soon as it begins.

Why don’t you try cutting back on the constant negativity. It’s okay to express a contrary opinion, but you are relentless and more repetitive than a reunion-era Steve Harris song. Enjoy Maiden for what they are!

 

[Gk1]

I guess I am trying to fight fire with fire

 

[naranja]

Maiden only really became repetitive on virtual XI. Brave New World followed suit

 

[Diesel 11]

The only songs I really don’t think work with the repetition are the ones on Killers. But that’s because there’s only repetition and nothing else. Just look at Another Life.....

 

[Gk1]

But it is different to talk about repetition regarding 3 minute songs and 9+ minute songs,right?

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Maiden have had repetitive choruses for decades.

*cough* Wrathchild, Caught Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, The Clairvoyant, Fear of the Dark, Running Free *cough*

And you can even throw in a repetitive verse and chorus in there. *cough* Iron Maiden *cough*
