Got a pit ticket for the second Mexico City show. Should be a pretty wild event. Looking forward to it.

That sounds awesome. I'd love to see IM south of the border where the crowds get wild.

Also, Happy birthday Janick!

Hello, Iron Maiden thread.

I'm about to start an Iron Maiden survivor over in Poll/Survivors.

Voting should begin later this week. I have a few logistical questions that I wanted to pose to potential participants as well, so I would appreciate some answers to those in the thread.

I hope that people decide to participate. It should be a lot of fun!

Last time I'll post about this in this thread probably until finals:

Just started the Iron Maiden survivor over in the Polls/Survivors subforum. Round 1 of the debut is running now. We'll be doing albums two at a time, so Killers will start tomorrow. Check it out!

That's pretty cool, but I find myself laughing a bit about just how odd it is to read about.

I really cannot wait for this tour. I would really like to try plane spotting and see if I can catch Ed Force One.

Dude, I'm sure you're being tongue-in-cheek, but seriously, you're not far off.

I don't want to get political (because it's not about politics) but there are a TON of muisicians and actors that show up for the photo-op, and will be more than glad to TELL you what you should be thinking, but Bruce is actually out there DOING IT. He's not standing behind the pilot as they go in to rescue people displaced from a natural disaster, he IS the pilot. He's not behind a microphone telling you what you should believe, he is living it.

Maiden was my first "real" concert and since they were opening up for Priest, Bruce is literally the first lead singer I ever saw, and 33 years later, he is still inspiring to this day.

They are in my country at the end of July. It's pity they're not playing in capital since it's much closer to me but I'd to hear them with newer songs. Last time they were playing setlist from Somewhere back in time tour and I loved it but it would be great to hear songs from BNW, AMoLaD and especially TBoS.

Well said. I was half joking, but half serious too.

Hearing a roaring Ed Force One taking off is pretty damn metal!

anyone going to the first show tonight?? (or is it tomorrow night for you guys? it's Wednesday 24th @ 2:41pm where I live)

No setlist spoilers here? Can we agree on that? Just want to know if I should avoid this thread.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #1731 on:** February 24, 2016, 01:34:25 PM »

^ I think that's fair, although I'm going to look it up, I won't be able to help myself.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #1732 on:** February 24, 2016, 03:51:37 PM »

I'm expecting the setlist to be 80% new stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

TAC · « **Reply #1734 on:** February 24, 2016, 03:58:19 PM »

80%?? No way. Other than AMOLAD, when have they ever come close to 80%?

Or are we talking 80% Reunion Era? Still, that's way too high.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #1735 on:** February 24, 2016, 04:03:00 PM »

On the Final Frontier tour it was like 5 FF songs in a setlist of like 15 songs, I still need to check out Book of Souls and from what I've heard it's very ambitious, but I doubt 80% will be doable.

bosk1 · « **Reply #1736 on:** February 24, 2016, 04:12:04 PM »

They should play Ed Dorado 14 times. Then Speed of Light for their encore.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #1737 on:** February 24, 2016, 04:15:01 PM »

hoping for

Quest for Fire
Gangland
The Apparition
Mother Russia
The Angel and the Gambler
El Dorado
Another Life
Weekend Warrior
Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger
The Duellists
Hooks in You

bosk1 · « **Reply #1738 on:** February 24, 2016, 04:19:09 PM »

Okay, now you're just being silly.

and you forgot Tailgunner

You forgot Public Enema Number One.

A lot of El Dorado hate on here

Mother Russia
The Duellists

Are these supposed to be bad? Because they are not. Especially Duellists.

Public Enema Number One is great too.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #1745 on:** February 24, 2016, 06:05:16 PM »

Not bad, but definitely not as strong as some of the other tracks on their albums. I actually like a good portion of the list.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #1746 on:** February 24, 2016, 06:57:18 PM »

I'd like to hear Stranger in a Strange Land. One of my favs!

TAC · « **Reply #1747 on:** February 24, 2016, 07:55:41 PM »

Tears Of A Clown

Through 4 songs..75% new stuff!

Do we need to put a spoiler warning up for setlist?
