I still suspect Hell On Earth. It's Steve's second crack at Maiden song to end all Maiden songs, but better than Red and the Black.

I agree about Red And The Black, but Hell On Earth is nowhere near as repetitive as it (only the intro).

Seen a post on Reddit that Steve was at the Cart and Horses this weekend. Seems likely that the band will be starting rehearsals next week. There's also some chat (pictured) thst some people apparently know where they'll be rehearsing.

Going by that Reddit post (somewhere remote), Maiden will rehearse in Slavonski Brod.

Jokes aside, I think they will be in Zagreb. Makes most sense.

Same. I see Alexander being played in the similar spot as Sign Of The Cross was on Legacy Of The Beast.

If they do finally play ATG I would like to see it as the first encore. First show - Go thru the whole set with people wondering will they or won't they. Set ends and it's well maybe they won't, and then end all doubt. Would build up the anticipation nicely I would think.

If they do play it, the big question is how it sounds 35 years later. It worries me a bit that in the end it might not have so much in common with the studio version. Same has been with Wasted Years ever since. They just are uncapable to reproduce the mood (and the melancholy) of the song on stage in a live situation. The melancholy that carries Wasted Years got lost and whenver they play it, it sounds like a chanting of drunk soccer fans (the chorus in particular). So, I'm afraid Alex wouldn't sound mighty in the end, but more or less strained.

Who knows how ATG will sound unless they actually play it? I've no problem with how Maiden have played WY live. They've made it to be a celebratory song now, imo. It's your golden years, people! Live your life!

Yes.

I'm curious if Steve will push for Long Distance Runner. If it doesn't work in rehearsals for them, no chance. It didn't work in 1986. I think Only The Good Die Young is more realistic than it, only because of Steve's comments again.

That's cool if true. If there's one song that doesn't need a solo/s to be great live - it's Deja-Vu! I guess it would have been a possible song for the tour if it had been played live before, although like almost every SIT song it's not that easy.

Actually quite the contrary. Loneliness did work in rehearsals in 86, just not flowing with the set (whatever that means).
