Terrible setlist

Magnus said:
I'm constantly surprised at how different Maidenfans' tastes actually are. Charlotte, Another Life, Drifter and Twilight Zone are among my favourites, The Assasin, Fates Warning and Public Enema Number One are precisely the NPFD songs I kinda like, and I've always liked Gangland. :blink:

Agreed, although I think Gangland is mediocre and Twilight Zone is kinda meh (still it's an exception regarding the first 2 albums. I like all the rest of them).

All of you putting The Man Of Sorrows in any "terrible" or "worst" list should be ashamed of yourselves.

There are far more serious cases here. The Man Of Sorrows is not in my list but it's not too far. Still an enjoyable song to listen to yet kinda skipable.

Funny enough, the bolded section would be pretty awesome set, even if it could be paced differently. :D

Agreed with the exception of Hooks in you. I don't mind Speed Of Light (just find it lackluster).
Other than that let's see: Revelations, Moonchild, Wasted Years, Flight Of Icarus, Stranger In A Strange Land, Back In The Village, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Flash Of The Blade...







... WHAT??????????????????????????????????????????
 
Intro: Satellite 15 (w/o The Final Frontier)
  1. The Angel and the Gambler - full version, slow and boring start is 100% guaranteed
  2. Tailgunner - IMHO their worst opener
  3. The Apparition - ...
  4. 2 AM - at least, the gig seemed to speed a bit up... so let's fix it
  5. Weekend Warrior - the only good thing in this song is the melodic break between the solos
  6. The Nomad - which isn't really that bad... but the best part is a shameful plagiarism
  7. The Assassin - I always laugh when I think of this song
--- advertising: brand new "Prodigal Ronf" headrest out now!! ---
  1. Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger - RIR restarted with a long song, so we do
  2. Isle of Avalon - actually, with two long songs
  3. Fear is the Key - and I'm really scared by this setlist
  4. The Fugitive - one of the most nonsense songs in their career
  5. Look for the Truth - zzz...
  6. Flash of the Blade - not a big fan of Powerslave, and IMHO this song is the worst
  7. Iron Maiden - it's an IM show, after all
--- advertising: brand new "Sleep on the Hills" mattress out now!! ---
  1. Hooks in You - second worst song by H, IMHO
  2. Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter - extended break with band presentation
Outro: Always look at the bright side of life

This setlist is messy, boring, and the songs that are good don't fit well with the rest.

Nice one!

2. No More Lies
3. Age of Innocence
4. The Great Unknown
5. The Unbeliever
6. The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

9. Futureal
10. Man of Sorrows

IMO The Unbeliever is kinda messy, The Mercenary and Man Of Sorrows are quite a snooze fest and the only awful song here is Age Of Innocence. I also think Blood On The World's Hands and Face In The Sand are tricky to pull out live properly (for different reasons).
Other than that I simply would love to go to that gig. Switch those 6 songs for 6 regularly played tunes (Iron Maiden because it has to be :p , Wrathchild The Number Of The Beast. The Trooper, 2 Minutes To Midnight and Wasted Years) and we have ourselves a gig. Well... opinions :p

This, plus the fact that most of these songs don't have crowd-unifying or even decent vocal melodies and just picture yourselves being there: the sequence is a bit all over the place, apart for the opener. It is not only a matter of liking the songs a lot or not, it is also about dynamics, about the impact they may have as a bulk in a live context. (ok, some of them are bad but 1. we're not supposed to tell; 2. it depends on each user. ;) )

Wrong thread.
 
There's no such thing as terrible/worst Maiden setlist imo.

Only setlist consisting of my least favorite songs from the albums - which still would be more or less curious to see them live.

1.Invaders (only because of the chorus)
2.Hooks In You
3.Fear Is The Key
4.Fortunes Of War
5.Strange World
6.The Apparition
7.Age Of Innocence
8.Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)
9.The Unbeliever (only because of the verses)
10.Prodigal Son
11.Innocent Exile
12.Iron Maiden (because it is in every setlist - otherwise, not)
Encore:
13.Como Estais Amigos
14.Charlotte The Harlot
15.The Man Of Sorrows

Intro: Transylvania & The Legacy of the Beast game trailer

1. The Number of the Beast
2. Wrathchild
3. New Beer Announcement
4. The Trooper
5. Parents having sex joke 2016-17 revisited
6. Children of the Damned intro
7. Bruce halts the performance and starts ranting after seeing some dumbass fan doing something stupid in the crowd. They don't bother to start the song over again and move on to the next one:
8. Run to the Hills
9. "Song about Greece" + ATG tease
-> 10. Fligh of Icarus intro
11. ...Bruce's flamethrower breaks down. He starts mumbling something about it, which eventually evolves into some story slightly related to his book. Bruce's story taking too long, the song is skipped altogether
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden (instead of an onstage big-Eddie making an appearance, a new LOTB game Eddie is revealed in the screens!)

14. Charlotte the Harlot a cappella
15. Another New Beer Announcement
16. Thank you and good night!
