I've only seen them once so the repetitive setlists don't really bother me that much. I can definitely see how some of you could be annoyed though.

On that note, have they ever played Alexander the Great live?

No, because it apparently would have been "too complicated".

glaurung · « **Reply #3082 on:** June 24, 2012, 11:01:10 AM »

Some of those vocal melodies could be hard to do live I guess.

Scorpion · « **Reply #3083 on:** June 24, 2012, 11:16:55 AM »

... too bad, I would have loved to see a live version of that song. Easily one of my favourites.

TAC · « **Reply #3084 on:** June 24, 2012, 12:20:45 PM »

I remember being disappointed Alexander was not played on the original SiT your. When they carried over Rime, I was like WTF.

Scorpion · « **Reply #3085 on:** June 24, 2012, 12:39:10 PM »

Well, in all fairness, Rime is pretty awesome as well.

TAC · « **Reply #3086 on:** June 24, 2012, 01:07:33 PM »

Yeah, and the SiT tour might have been one of my favorites but Alex really should've been played.

Scorpion · « **Reply #3087 on:** June 24, 2012, 01:15:00 PM »

Did they play Sea of Madness?

For anyone willing to spoil the setlist for themselves, here's what it is going to look like this tour. God damn, I am so fucking excited for this.

Yeah, we know, the setlist has already been posted. I'd kill to see this, but pretty disappointing set.

Because it's Maiden and I've only seen them once.

wolfking · « **Reply #3095 on:** June 25, 2012, 05:21:53 AM »

I mean, it's a disappointing setlist, but I'd still pay good money to see the band. Hell, I'd pay top dollar to see this setlist;

Wildest Dreams
Quest For Fire
Weekend Warrior
Angel and the Gambler
Gates of Tomorrow
Holy Smoke
Another Life
Bring Your Daughter...to the Slaughter
Sun and Steel
El Dorado
Innocent Exile
The Apparition
Hooks in You
New Frontier
From Here to Eternity
The Number of the Beast
Iron Maiden

Running Free
Drifter

Zantera · « **Reply #3096 on:** June 25, 2012, 05:22:17 AM »

Another "odd" song or two would have been cool. Big props for The Prisoner, SSOASS, Afraid to Shoot Strangers and Phantom of the Opera, but still, they could have added another weird pick IMO.

TAC · « **Reply #3097 on:** June 25, 2012, 05:25:18 AM »

Any Maiden show is gonna be great no matter what they play.

I's just that their setlists seem to lack foresight, and the constant repeated songs are maddening, especially with respect to their live albums. Listening to En Vivo yesterday, and while it's an awesome CD as is, The repeated songs that appear on recent live albums is nuts.

Zantera · « **Reply #3098 on:** June 25, 2012, 05:31:33 AM »

I really don't see why they need to play all of these following: Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, The Trooper, Fear of the Dark and 2 Minutes to Midnight.
And before someone tries to argue that one or two of these might have been switched/skipped over the last 5-6 tours, this is just a general point. They're all classics, but when you have a great catalogue it's a bit of a waste to play some songs all the time, since it takes away the spot for another song.

Anyhow, great to see them play Phantom. Some other songs in their catalogue that I think are underrated and should get played more often: Remember Tomorrow, Killers, Powerslave (I know they have played this one quite a bit lately, IMO it's possibly their best, should be played more), then also a few newer songs, but they seem to focus on older stuff now.

Scorpion · « **Reply #3099 on:** June 25, 2012, 08:56:27 AM »

They should totally bring back Sea of Madness. Such an underrated song.

Zantera · « **Reply #3103 on:** June 25, 2012, 12:37:14 PM »

I'm probably the only one who likes Gates of Tomorrow.

Also, it's sad that Angel and the Gambler is so repetitive, I actually like the chorus and everything, but when it gets repeated 40 times it kinda drags it down overall.

Jaq · « **Reply #3104 on:** June 25, 2012, 12:37:29 PM »

The arena would riot the second they started playing Angel and the Gambler.

Yeah, I actually don't mind 80% of the songs there, shows the strength of Maiden, would be an interesting show though.

Gates is alright, just nothing spectacular. The edit version of Angel is incredible, the album version is disappointing. They could play the edited version I reckon and get away with it.

El Barto · « **Reply #3109 on:** June 25, 2012, 04:46:45 PM »

Another Life was outstanding during the Early Days tour. Drifter was great as an encore, as well.

My disgust with wolfie's S&M demo was mainly with Quest for Fire, Weekend Warrior, The Angel and the Gambler, Holy Smoke, Bring Your Daughter, Hooks in You, and From Here to Eternity. The rest of the songs range from acceptable to great.

Iron Maiden sure has an awful lot of awful songs.

Zantera · « **Reply #3111 on:** June 25, 2012, 05:04:53 PM »

I've always found it interesting with all the hate for Bring Your Daughter. I'm not saying it's a good song, but before I got really into Maiden I was under the impression that it was one of their classics (though from another decade), and that fans generally liked it.
But I mean that kinds says it all about Maiden's early 90's doesn't it?

Hey, as I said, I really like 90% of those songs, I wouldn't even use a whole hand to count Maiden songs I actually dislike. just trying to get my point across that no matter the setlist, I'd still pay to see them
