The Knife Master said:mixed is a bit of an exaggeration. It is much worse than that. I'm glad to see maiden are doing what they want and what the real fans want. But I think the sales for the next U.S. tour might drop significantly due to last year's set.
Donner said:I agree with the reception but I disagree on the attendance for the next tour. That one will most certainly be the long awaited Maiden England set and folks will come out in droves to see it. It'll be like 2006-2008 all over again.
2006: Most fans- "The new album sucks, and they played too many new songs. I'm never going to see them again"
2008: Same fans- "Holy shit, they're gonna do Live After Death. Must see and I'll bring 3 friends along!!"
