News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Trevoire said:
British voters left the EU because Tory and Tory-lite (New Labour) governments have asset stripped the country and suppressed wages for decades. Simultaneously the media has screamed that all of those problems are actually caused by immigrants.

British people have been routinely fucked by their own governments since Thatcher, every decision is made in the interests of big business at the expense of working people. But working people were convinced that it was somehow the EU's fault.

You are absolutely entitled to make that argument. I have no idea if you are involved in poilitics but if not I would encourage you to go out and preach to the unconverted. Stand on a platform of readmission to the EU.

That is an honest approach to take and I commend you for it.
 
Why hasn’t this thread been locked yet? The tour is already underway.

My guess: the mods were underpaid, their nerves were hanging by a thread (pun intended)… and in the end they decided to go full Brexit - FORUMEXIT.

Bruce literally just mentioned the setlist in Greece as it was the first show of this run. It's not his fault so many on here worked themselves into a frenzy that it meant they would play ATG.

I didn't say he said anything different, I just said that he said something that could be interpreted as an innuendo to build hype and it did.
 
No it`s not arguing it`s one bloke being `educated` by the others that he`s wrong. Left is right and right is wrong, i was educated myself by them and now i know.

Anyway 3 weeks today until the concert for us in the San Siro. :edmetal:
 
Goodness gracious, I never thought me mentioning that Bruce’s “Greek cunt” comment was xenophobic could lead to such interesting discussions while I am away on holiday! :lol:

Didn’t you have any Aces High videos to keep you entertained??

Joking aside, I hope those of you catching the band on tour this year have a great time!

Yes, as anyone would be, I was offended and still am. And lets attribute it to the heat of the moment for argument's sake. I was doubly offended that he never apologized, even when asked specifically about the incident by the greek Metal Hammer reporter. I will refrain from using any harsh words but I resent him as a person since. We were at that 2022 gig as a family there, this year my wife, who isn't a Maiden or a metal fan, skipped, refusing to go see them again because of that incident, I went with my daughters. All three of us were hoping to hear Alexander after Bruce's hint on the red carpet, which was probably made to hype the first gig of the tour. To see how he smiles saying they won't play Alexander is the last nail in the coffin. My daughters left dissapointed. I've been to enough IM shows to sense that Bruce wasn't feeling easy with the crowd, his between songs talking was minimal, he didn't even introduce the band. Hell, he didn't even complain about the flairs.

Nice to see you back mate! I completely understand how you feel about the whole thing.

8. Sign of the Cross
9. Death of Celts

Oh I like lists!!! Let's go. The 8 min. minimum duration makes it easy for me to be honest, because all my absolute favourites are a bit shorter tracks (5-8 mins) My favourite 8+ min songs:
1. Hell on Earth
2. Seventh Son
3. For the Greater Good of God
4. Dance of Death
5. Alexander the Great
6. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
7. Dream of Mirrors

9. The Book of Souls
10. The Legacy
