Good, if true. I'm more sick of that song than I am Trooper or Fear of the Dark.

No way, 666 is mass-aplause momentum.

Mix of Killers and Run to the Hills, with some Fear of the Dark and other things. But Killers is the vibe I am getting here.
They used to start tours with an indoor show(s), two nights held same auditorium as the sold-out Groupama Stadium.

First show, they want to start in a smaller arena and then they can have the production rehearsals indoors without a unwanted crowd.
The show would get spoiled if it was outdoors.

Phantom Of The Ooera first song….

I doubt it. I can't wait to see that song live but as an opener? Nah.
Personally hoping for BQoBD, Aces High, Moonchild or maybe even NotB (they did it before in 2003 iirc)

I didn't think NOTB worked well as an opener at all when I saw the 2003 Download show. They just walked out anti-climatically into broad daylight, the intro tape isn't a very good build up on its own for the start of a show. I also can't imagine BQoBD...
Rue Morgue (just like in 2005) is a plausible opening song for me. Let's see...

I think there is a reason BQOBD hasn't been played since 93, they don't seem that fond of it, there isn't real justification to randomly pull it out again on a 50th anniversary tour when many other songs could fill it's place.
I think the only reason it's advertised as from Iron IM to FOTD is because the title track was certain to be played, it wouldnt surprise me seeing nothing else from that album or No Prayer tbh

I'm not a big fan of NPFTD. In fact, in my opinion, it's by far one of their worst albums.
However, if they don't play anything from NPFTD, it would be absolutely ridiculous.
But yeah, I think and hope (!) they will play at least one. I'm all for rarities, even though I don't like the album very much.

While I agree partially it got me thinking. On what tour could they have included the song? I personally can't really think of any tour from 93 up until now that would have "fitted" the song.
Then again, they have done some songs on tours thathad no place there at all (Afraid to Shoot Strangers on Maiden England or Dance of Death on The Final Frontier tour) so maybe I'm overthinking it.
Still curious to see what will be the opening song. So many choices honestly!

I don't hate NPFTD at all but I would rather hear songs from the other albums, esp if it meant a rarity from one of the Big 7.

Wasn't there a lot of talk about it possibly making the Legacy set? Not sure where it came from but I did hear that floating around back then as a possible 1st encore track .
out of nowhere, pure fan speculation, same as now tbh
