That would be cool if pulled out Tailgunner or Be Quick or gave Bring Your Daughter another spin.

I wouldn't be so sure because they played ATSS on ME tour.
That tour was one of those 80s-focus tours that we likely won't see again, as my post said. So ATSS recently really doesn't mean anything for the future.

If that was the case, then they would've played on the Maiden England tour. They clearly thought high enough of ATSS replace Infinite Dreams with it. Stranger in a Strange Land would've fit perfectly in the setlist at some point.
I agree with Bring Your Daughter, that would be really cool to hear that song, I'd doubt it on this tour though.

Yeah but remember in 2007 they pulled out COTD which wasn't played on Early Days tour... Anything can happen (apart from ATG being played, obviously
).

True, but that was the 25th anniversary of NOTB. The band said they would play a few songs from it along with some of AMOLAD. They ended up playing COTD, NOTB, RTTH and Hallowed. COTD just probably didn't fit in with the set.Yeah but remember in 2007 they pulled out COTD which wasn't played on Early Days tour... Anything can happen (apart from ATG being played, obviously
If only they played ATG during Maiden England.
As someone who dove into ATG earlier this year, I agree with Maiden's decision not to play it. I don't think it would really be all that good live.

I disagree..and what do you mean by diving into it?
Earlier this year, some members of the forum covered Alexander. I played drums and bass on this track:

While it's a fun song, I don't think seeing it live would be especially amazing. It's a very good song, but Maiden have many better songs they can play.

Done with 80s influenced tours? Are you serious?? Look nobody loves 2000+ maiden more than I do. But the band knows the 80s material has to be played as well. And "Colin" the classics fan knows every damn song on Pom. All of them, every song on the album. The one good point you make is that nob would be as good or better a choice for full album play. It matters not when the last time certain songs were played.. By the way.
Rush played all of moving pictures. Priest played all of British steel. It could happen, and it would be excellent. Spewing facts about what hasn't been played is entirely irrelevant to this hypothesis. Chill.

I can easily imagine Alex being played live and I'm sure it'd sound awesome. The other highly rated never-played-live song - Starblind... not so much.
No, I don't see Starblind coming across well live at all. And I do like it

You think that Mother Russia is better?
It did say it on ironmaiden.com but it's now changed to September 14.

Ah, it's in the slider! I was looking for it in the Tour section.

No. But that wasn't an 80's song.You think that Mother Russia is better?
Phantom, Hallowed, To Tame a Land, Rime, Powerslave, Seventh Son.. All are better than Alexander in my opinion.

Not that there is anything wrong with ATG, it's a really good song. It's just that the other song are better, so I don't get the obsession people have with it.. Maybe it's because it's never played live.I... I realized I actually agree with this.
