I thought what Damian did with the songs was incredible.

So tomorrow starts the Maiden England World Tour!!!

Any thoughts?

To me it´s awesome and that Maiden actually do this kind of rerun of classic tours is just fuckin

. To be able to witness all does magic moments that you have seen at home countless of times live again is a fans wet dream! Big ups to Maiden for doing that!
Sadly for me i have to wait until 2013 for the european leg of the tour!

Scorpion · « **Reply #2977 on:** June 20, 2012, 12:26:53 PM »

Holy moly, I didn't even hear anything about that! Is that a revival of what they did during the Seventh Son tour? Because that would be awesome - it's my second favourite Maiden record, with Moonchild probably being the greatest opener that Maiden has ever written.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #2978 on:** June 20, 2012, 12:34:23 PM »

Ohh yes that is exactly right!! And i´m so with you...7th son is my favourite Maiden album so it´s gonna be epic!

They are playing SSoaSS and The Prisoner, aka two of the best Maiden tunes ever?

Are they coming to Germany? If not, an inanimate object is about to get destroyed. Brutally.

It's a North American Tour with no plans to bring it to Europe yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually do, however. This is basically Somewhere Back in Time 2.0, and that was a pretty extensive world tour.

Anyway, that's great to hear about Seventh Son and The Prisoner. Still have my fingers crossed for Still Life - if the setlist too closely resembles that for Somewhere Back in Time, I won't be happy.

Scorpion · « **Reply #2981 on:** June 20, 2012, 12:51:16 PM »

I don't really care. As long as they don't play Heaven Can Wait and Can I Play With Madness?, I'm fine.

Well it´s not really SBIT part 2, this is a revival of the 7th son tour and most of the tracks from that album will be played including the title track!

Yeah they will and i think the announcement will come in August-September this year with the first european dates in the beginning of 2013!

Scorpion · « **Reply #2983 on:** June 20, 2012, 12:57:46 PM »

I really hope that I get to see them. I was soooo pissed that I missed TFF tour, with DT opening them for them, but I was Iceland while they were in Germany (go figure!).

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #2984 on:** June 20, 2012, 12:59:21 PM »

I'm seeing them Tuesday in Mansfield, MA

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #2985 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:03:09 PM »

Wait a minute, they're playing most of the 7th Son album?

The last few tours have already featured a handsome portion of Seventh Son; I basically look at it the same way I look at Rush's Time Machine Tour, as The Camera Eye was exciting and all, but we'd already heard a major portion of the album in recent tours, so it really wasn't that big a deal. What I'm looking forward to is the deep cuts.

Nick · « **Reply #2990 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:24:39 PM »

Meh, this is the very reason I almost decided not to go to this tour. SiT is much more deserving of the deep cuts being played. I'll set aside for a moment my personal bias of of SiT being the much better album, but Maiden recently did Moonchild and Clairvoyant, along with regulars Can I Play (ugh) and Evil. All that has ever gotten play from SiT in years is Wasted Years and Heaven Can Wait, and if I see this tour and that's still all the play from that album I'm going to fucking rage.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #2991 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:28:09 PM »

Having seen Iron Maiden more times than any other band ( I think this will be my 19th or 20th Maiden show) I'm at the point now where I don't really care what they play any more.

But I would LOVE to hear them do something like "Deja Vu" or "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" or "Alexander the Great"

Unlikely. I don't know if any of these have ever been played live.

It's pretty funny how little of SiT was played even on the corresponding world tour. Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of the album, so I'd be fine if they just brought back CSiT and focused on the more interesting and obscure pieces of the first five albums.

I agree that most songs been played live so i´m getting my fingers crossed for these:

Infinite Dreams
The Prophecy
SSoaSS
Only the good die young (This ones a killer and as far as i know it has never been played live?)

Nick · « **Reply #2994 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:40:08 PM »

I truly hope they don't play the title track. One of the most overrated in Maiden's catalog.

According to their website they're going to play 3/4 of these:

Moonchild
The Evil That Men Do
The Prisoner
Still Life
Die With Your Boots On
Infinite Dreams
Killers
Can I Play With Madness
Heaven Can Wait
Wasted Years
The Clairvoyant
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
The Number Of The Beast
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden

I'm cool with that set list.

theseoafs · « **Reply #2999 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:45:13 PM »

"Overrated"? I don't get that at all. It's not a well-known track, for one, and even among hardcore fans it isn't brought up too often.

Well, 3/4 of this would be 11 songs, which would make the following the best possible outcome:

Moonchild
The Evil That Men Do
The Prisoner
Still Life
Infinite Dreams
Killers
The Clairvoyant
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
The Number Of The Beast
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden

That'd be really cool.

Never crazy about it back in day, but it has aged quite nicely.

I didn't realize you were such a big Maiden fan.

Here's the reason I'm not getting excited about this... 3/4ths would mean they are cutting 4 songs, and while this could be amazing and they could play...

Moonchild
The Evil That Men Do
The Prisoner
Still Life
Die With Your Boots On
Infinite Dreams
Killers
Wasted Years
The Clairvoyant
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
Hallowed Be Thy Name

Chances are they will play...

Moonchild
The Evil That Men Do
Infinite Dreams
Can I Play With Madness
Heaven Can Wait
Wasted Years
The Clairvoyant
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
The Number Of The Beast
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden

Pretty much cutting out anything special and playing a lot of the crap we've seen again and again.

Unless I'm missing something, the website says 2/3, not 3/4 (also keeping in mind that the fractions were an offhand estimation by Bruce and not an actual formula for generating this year's setlist).

Nick · « **Reply #3004 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:59:08 PM »

In either case, they are going to cut the amazing songs they haven't played in awhile so they can keep playing okay songs they've done plenty.

TAC · « **Reply #3005 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:00:07 PM »

Nick, sadly I agree with you. Don't forget Fear Of The Dark is a lock too. And they better. Of play Wrathchild!

Yeah, you're right, but it's still a good group of songs.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #3007 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:09:32 PM »

I guess I've seen them too many times, because I'm really kind of apathetic about the set list. It's Iron Maiden.

I is fanboy

Nick · « **Reply #3008 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:12:37 PM »

It's one of those things where I'll go, I'll enjoy the hell out of it, but after I'll reflect knowing how much better it still could have been.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #3009 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:24:14 PM »

I understand. I have actually felt the same way about the last couple of Dream Theater shows I've seen.
