So i went to Iron Maiden Last week...
Setlist was as follows.. 1.The Wicker Man 2.Ghost Of The Navigator 3.Wrathchild 4.El Dorado 5.Dance Of Death 6.The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg 7.These Colours Don't Run 8.Blood Brothers 9.Wildest Dreams 10.No More Lies 11.Brave New World 12.Fear Of The Dark 13.Iron Maiden Encore: 14.The Number of the Beast 15.Hallowed Be Thy Name 16.Running Free I must say, considering I went to the somewhere in time tour, I was quite dissapointed. Loads of energy and all that jazz... but thats to be expected by Iron Maiden. The only songs that I think actually worked were Blood Brothers, These Colors Dont Run and the last 5 songs. There was a point during Wildest Dreams where I was actually kinda bored and I was waiting and praying for Fear of the Dark. Never have I seen a crowd less energetic during the first 3/4 of a set and then picking up during Fear Of The Dark. And its fricken retarded on how many post 2000 songs they play. Also, I though the new song, El Dorado was probably the weakest song they played that night. If you havent bought a ticket yet and you have seen Iron Maiden before, I would recomend not going. Honestly, the first 11 songs all sounded like one giant, long song with some highs and lows. However, if you havent seen iron maiden before, whitnessing fear of the dark and hallowed be thy name live is worth the ticket price alone. |
Doesn't sound very good at all.

Yea that would be like Bon Jovi playing a setlist dominated by post 2000 songs and with encore LOAP, Bad Name, Wanted and Bad Medicine.
PHAIL. |
Maiden post 2000 >>>>>>> Bon Jovi post 2000.
If you ever get the chance to see Hi On Maiden, check them out. They are fantastic. And all the songs Maiden never let you hear!!!! Not sure Maiden themselves ever played Seventh Son this tight. And here they are (earlier lineup) with Nicko! :) |

I like their post-2000 stuff. I never fully got into "Matter Of Life And Death" because I rarely listen to it, but I see the potential to grow on me, when I have my next Maiden phase. And I think it's very brave to play so many "new" songs. Actually, when they did their "Somewhere in Time" tour or how was it called, with only old stuff, I didn't like it for being too nostalgic. But they made up for it with the total opposite of a setlist. Still, they didn't play any surprises, which is a shame. The classics are all obvious.
But what is the concert of that tour anyway? A warm up for the new album, or really the other side of the coin that was the nostalgic tour? By what name does that tour go? |

EVERY gig does need Iron Maiden and Hallowed, but I wish there was more variety with the other classics. Why not Heaven Can Wait, or Infinite Dreams, Flight of Icarus, Be Quick or Be Dead, Die with your Boots On, Bring Your Daughter, Killers, Charlotte the Harlotte, The Prisoner.... There's easily two dozen songs that 90% of any given Maiden audience would go crazy to hear. |
|
You guys are wrong, simple as that. Iron Maiden at Sonisphere was easily the best of the five shows I've seen them do. To hear Dance Of Death, No More Lies, Blood Brothers, Gohst Of The Navigator and The Wicker Man were absolutely magical ... I love the Brave New World and Dance Of Death albums, so Iloved just about every second of it. Although I wish they'd played Paschendale too!
Of course, the first time I saw the band was in 2005, so I can see how older fans might be less impressed. But I was a VERY happy bunny to see those songs played. |

Id give it 7.5/10 on my first listen. But i reckon I need to hear it twice before you get to know it. |
Last song When The Wild Wind Blows is an 11 minute quality piece of music!

UK Number 1 album...........by some distance!

Been listening to the album on youtube and its great!! A lot of people are raving about When the wild wind blows and i agree its a good solid song but i prefer The man who would be king. Anyone agree?

I like them all except one or 2 but the two you mentioned are quality. |

Oh well. |
Afet a couple of listens, the album starts and ends really well (the Sattelite 15 part of the first song is awesome, something completely different from the band, Final Frontier and El Dorado are both good, although slightly Maiden-by-numbers, and When The Wild Wind Blows is epic), but I've not yet decided on everything inbetween. Starblind and Coming Home probably stand out the most for me from that middle section.

The most important part is this: "The set list will be different to this year's tour. Of course we will play more songs from the new album and some other recent material, but we will include a healthy dose of older fan favourites as we will be playing to so many new faces who we know will want to hear those songs live for the first time." Hopefully they realize that WE NEED MORE CLASSICS! |
Anyone doing any of the two O2 gigs this weekend?
|
Right - I see ~20-30 bands every year, but hardly ever do I get as excited as when I am about to see IRON MAIDEN. Two hours of pure energy. And let's face it - there is no better frontman out there than Bruce Dickinson. The only one who was comparable IMO is Freddie Mercury. Presence, charisma, energy, intelligence and most importantly VOICE! Most people can actually learn a thing or two from Bruce.

Cant beleive the "new" album is 3 years old this month!

It's another reminder that my life is slipping away too quickly!:) Only seems like last week that my CD arrives through the post. |
I just can't afford it this time around. Can't believe its been 3 years since I last saw them, between 2005 and 2009 I saw them every year except 2009! Hopefully they'll do an album next year and be back soon.

The new setlist is killer in my opinion. Love it.
I was so unbelievably bored when I saw them a few years back a couple months before their new album came out. Compared to the somewhere back in time tour which I saw 2 years before that, it was night and day. The energy was so low and boring during the nineties and 00's set. Boring and almost lifeless. No Run To The Hills? No Powerslave? No 2 Minutes 2 Midnight? That's like Bon Jovi not playing Prayer, Bad Name and Bad Medicine. But then again I'm there to see the classics, never much cared for their new stuff. |
AMAZIIING! Amazing! Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!
AMAZING!!!! |
