If my history is correct, he didn't touch any of the drums on that song. Steve did.I prefer Be Quick or Be Dead as a song, but Futureal would be ideal as it's as straightforward as you can get drumming-wise for Nicko. I don't even remember if he even touches the toms on that song.
Interesting. I knew that the song wasn't without chances. They probably replaced it with HCW. The backdrop for it was the same as for CSIT and SIASL. Or they didn't like how it sounded. I would love to hear Sea Of Madness. They probably chose HCW so Janick can have a solo on a SIT song. Wasted Years was a certain, I guess.@Luisma (writer of some very good books about Iron Maiden and with lots of sources) tweeted that originally Sea of Madness was going to be played but it got dropped at some point.
Nah it ain'tIf they're going to bring back a short 90s rocker, I'd rather get Be Quick or Be Dead than Futureal. It might not fit the theme as well, but it's a better song.
No I think HCW was planned all along. That's when they do the gun battleInteresting. I knew that the song wasn't without chances. They probably replaced it with HCW. The backdrop for it was the same as for CSIT and SIASL. I would love to hear Sea Of Madness.
Maybe it was just in a short list of SIT songs but the set got too long or it didn't sound good, not necessarily replaced by another.No I think HCW was planned all along. That's when they do the gun battle
He's actually been solid since 2020 or so. Think he's been using a clickWell, that's because Lars is an excellent business man, but a very, um... not good drummer
Can we get Mission from 'Arry, part 2.@Luisma (writer of some very good books about Iron Maiden and with lots of sources) tweeted that originally Sea of Madness was going to be played but it got dropped at some point.
He also said that 'Arry went to the drum riser and shouted some nasty words to Nicko at one point due to the recurring errors
Not for me. I think Futureal is a Better Song, I like BQOBD of course but I dislike part of the vocalsIf they're going to bring back a short 90s rocker, I'd rather get Be Quick or Be Dead than Futureal. It might not fit the theme as well, but it's a better song.
"He was out of order."Can we get Mission from 'Arry, part 2.
Death Of The Celts will not be in the 2024 leg, they will see it through this tour but I imagine if the crowds keep being completely dead during it like opening night it's not sticking around.To the setlist complainers, I predict that on the 2024 leg Maiden will swap out 1 each of the SiT, Senjutsu, and classic songs, similar to the Book of Souls tour. I bet it's already planned. My predictions:
- SiT: Heaven Can Wait out, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner in;
- Senjutsu: Death of the Celts out, The Parchment in;
- Classics: Can I Play with Madness out, something else in (maybe Flight of Icarus).
We'll see!
He did imply they would maybe rehearse it , so it's probably on the 'didn't work' list much like it didnt back in 86Distance Runner had also chances, beacause Steve mentioned in an interview before the tour it would be a good song.
Steve played drums in the studio on Virtual XI, didn’t he?I prefer Be Quick or Be Dead as a song, but Futureal would be ideal as it's as straightforward as you can get drumming-wise for Nicko. I don't even remember if he even touches the toms on that song.
Notice, at the beginning Nicko's words about 'get rid of me'. So, he/band is aware about fandom speculations, or there may be internal talks within the band.
