RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

NOTB

No way they will replace this. Iron Maiden, trooper and FOTD neither.

32,000 is a massive crowd for any band. Comparing Maiden to Metallica is absurd. Comparing literally any other metal band to Metallica is absurd.

At least Metallica had the sense to tune down as they got older. Hatfield is sounding great live nowadays. Even Lars is much improved since 2020, either practicing more or playing to a click.

I agree with that, but we've been running circles around this complaint for a decade.

He was saying play Aces in the NOTB slot and play Beast for the first encore.

I just watched Aces from the video above. Honestly, it was painful.

They’ve backed themselves into a corner a bit - being too stubborn about their current capabilities and their age. Not detuning where it would clearly help, not letting certain songs get the rest they’ve earned.

But I do hope some decisions are made sooner rather than later, because this road risks turning them into a parody of themselves.

It is such a shame that a sensational singer like Bruce is ending his career with performances as embarrassing as that.

Stubbornness? Arrogance? Either way, it is somewhat sad to see, especially considering how well his voice had been ageing up until recently.

After Eddfest they have 6 weeks before the tour resumes in Canada. They really should consider tweaking the set and move Aces up. There's time to do that. Would they is the question.

Arrogance from the person who build the setlist. But it can be what you said.

No is the answer.
