Hope Blaze does a great job tonight. Will this be one of his biggest UK audiences ever since 1998?

I dont know how many are showing up for the Friday

God damn I wish I was going

To those going to Eddfest, enjoy!

To those not going to Eddfest, enjoy whatever you do instead too!

TBH, this is the right way to do it with almost 70 year old singer... Ask him what he wants to sing.

Which baffles me even more, since Bruce knows, that he is struggling with Aces High and yet they are still doing it. It more and more seems like it was a managment decision rather than a band one (combined with Bruce's pride, ego and stubborness to say NO).

I mean he can choose to some degree, but probably AH is seen as a must for this tour. Bruce probably doesn't want/struggles with TNOTB, RTTH, HBTN, but he must sing them.

Hope everyone has a good one at Eddfest. I'd be going myself if I could get any friends to come. I'm most gutted about missing the museum!

apologies as @Black Abyss Babe pointed out they are a covers band, rather than what I thought was a dj playing a few hits

To be honest, when I first saw the name "Hair Metal Glamageddon" I thought it was another exhibition

Fortunately, Google is my friend ...

I'd love for them to play some of these rarities: The Duellists, Only the Good Die Young, No Prayer for the Dying, and Childhood's End.

And The Apparition

You’ve added Infinite Dreams to the setlist on this leg of the Run For Your Lives tour – the first time you’ve played it in 38 years. How on earth do you decide which songs to play and which songs to drop?

Steve: “A lot of it is governed by what Bruce wants to sing. He’s singing better than ever in my view, but none of us are getting any younger and it gets tougher. He really wanted to do Infinite Dreams. I wasn’t that bothered about it, even though it’s my song, but we did it and it sounded great. I’d have loved to have a couple of deep cuts on this tour, like Only The Good Die Young [a song that Maiden have never played live].”

An epic interview with Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson

It depends on Bruce, but Steve mentioning Only The Good Die Young again, why not as one of the deep cuts for the next tour? Maybe he will suggest it to Bruce. First mentioning of getting tougher(!).

Reading the interview again steve says that they are going to do somerhing special for the songs ( recorded there?)

Different things to some songs? I can only think of Nicko/Blaze live guest, but Bruce ruled it out.

The one with Eddie's head and the inscription, it's similar to the art from '88 era (I think? but Eddie with less hair) with Iron Maiden as an inscription.

This is all looking like everyone involved has put a bunch of effort in to make it a labour of love. I'm so pleased to see it, honestly, it could have been super shoddy.

For Only the Good Die Young to make the next tour, it first has to become the hottest topic on every Maiden forum. Fans need to beg for it day and night. Only then will Bruce start mentioning it in interviews and dropping little hints a month before the tour. After all, he didn't earn the nickname "The Great Bandwagoner" for nothing.
