[adrian fn rules]

Yessss, Mexico needs a dvd... Though the travel to Chichén Itzá would be a long and expensive one for most of the fans. But very, very worth it. I'd go

Though I hope that they're coming to Mexico City next year, as currently I'm studying over here hehe.

Well, we can try!

I just sent an email to the Director of Chichén Itzá, lol.

It has been confirmed that they are coming to Mexico in March, maybe i will see you there!

 

[Sebas-hero1995]

Yeah, but there were some that said that it was rumored that they'd go to Monterrey instead... Yet I don't think so, simply Mexico City has more people and makes it easier for more fans to come.

Haven't read that rumor, lucky for me its the same to go to any of those cities, but as you said, Mexico city at "Foro Sol" its just much much better.... Maybe they are not playing on Mexico city because they already thought on playing on Chichen Itzá?

Yeah basically this . It's like a love letter to the fans .

I hope they don't. This weekend has been exhausting.

 

[Forostar]

Don't have it yet, but I'm looking forward to get the new Aardschok!

 

[Josh]

After two days straight I have come to the conclusion that this is the most unique album Maiden has ever done.

 

[FTB]

Well if they play this one I'd be mad. Because why Empire but not ATG?

 

[LooseCannon]

Because ATG is difficult? How many guitarists did we need to cover it?

Where are all the naysayers? Did the banhammer have a good weekend or something?

One person was removed.

The Great Unknown is seeing major repeats here. This song is heavy as fuck!

 

[Meliegree]

The Great Unknown is amazing. Opening has strange feel of Bruce solo stuff.

Spoiler

About EOTC - I think that Bruce will be main "problem" with that song during tour. Can anyone imagine him sitting in one place and singing while playing on the piano? I don't. They can find someone to play piano for him but still - what about Bruce? I feel that this song is too peacfull for him if we speak about stage presence. But hell, that's Bruce and I can be wrong.

 

[Gk1]

The Great Unknown and especially When the river Runs Deep sound quite fine if you ask me!

 

[Meliegree]

I love moonchild intro in WTRRD!
