| _______________________________ [Oct 5,2006 2:49pm - retzam ""] whoremastery said:glad i got a show this nite..because i was gonna go...how can they not play aces high! They havn't played Aces High in years... I for one think this is awesome. They've been catering to the people who want to hear the same songs over and over again for too long. More power to them for this, I can't wait to see them on Friday. My only regret is that I'm not gonna hear any of the Brave New World and Dance Of Death stuff. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 2:56pm - Anthony ""] Retzam: Yeah it is cool that they are playing new stuff, but I dont think anyone who paid good money for a seat expected to hear the whole damn new album. I'm still psyched to see Maiden, but I really really hope the setlist is different on Friday. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:03pm - nekrotisk ""] I don't give a shit about the new album. I want to hear the classics! *vexed* |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:05pm - Josh_Martin ""] Hartford was the first show of the tour. I heard that that may have been a "special" set list for the opening show and the rest of the tour will be normal. Don't know if that's true though. I wouldn't want to hear the same old songs over and over either. I would like to hear DIFFERENT old songs. Play Purgatory, play Invaders, play the entire fucking KILLERS album. A friend dragged me to the '99 tour (1st tour with Brucie back, I didn't even want to go for free but somehow he got me to agree to go). When we got to the Orpheum I said "if they don't open with Aces High I'm walking out." That's what they opened with when I saw them on the Powerslave tour (as heard on Live After Death) and it fucking ruled. They opened with Aces High. |

I don't see how fans can honestly have a big problem with this when it's sandwiched between two era tours where they didn't/aren't play(ing) any new stuff at all. I honestly didn't expect the entire new album either, but, having heard a few statements made by Dickenson in the past year or so I definitely expected to hear a good 60% of it at least. |

As much as you try to rationalize it, to 99% of the fans that setlist still fucking blows. Fans matter, not Maiden thinking their new album is so good that the audience should sit through hearing the whole damn thing live. The songs are sooo fucking long tooo ughhh.... |

Every show Maiden does there are gonna be a LOT of people there to see them for the first time. Does that mean that they have to play Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills, The Trooper, Wrathchild, Sanctuary, and Running Free at every show? Maiden has so many good songs that no matter what they do play there's always gonna be someone saying "I can't believe they didn't play [song title]! What the fuck are they thinking?!" |

You're right, fans do matter, so find one to sell your ticket to and catch them on the next era tour. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:19pm - Anthony ""] No, I'll just go and hopefully they won't suck. |
| ____________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:22pm - pam ""] That's a pretty lackluster set. |

I don't care about hearing those overplayed songs, but I wanna hear a setlist representative of their career and the albums that I love. Not the one new album I got recently and listened to twice. I love pretty much every song on everything up to Seventh Son and the most recent three are great too. I'm not some picky asshole, but that setlist from CT sucks.... period. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:25pm - retzam ""] I'd bet that most of the really disappointed people fit into one of three categories: 1) People who have only heard the hits 2) People who don't have the new album and/or only have a few Maiden albums 3) People who listen to tons of metal and go to concerts expecting to hear their favorite metal songs 1 and 2 clearly don't matter, I think we can all agree to that. Regarding 3: Iron Maiden are pissing off a lot of metalheads because they are doing a tour not for the sake of metal, but for the sake of rock music in general: they are releasing an album and doing a tour to promote the album. That's what bands do. I look at this and I see a really awesome group of musicians coming around and playing their most recent collection of really great songs. I'm not going to this to be a metal head and flip out to songs that metal heads have been flipping out to for the last 2 and a half decades. I'm going to see musicians play music, and that's what I think they are going for on this tour. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:26pm - Yeti ""] i can agree with that, but there are many diehard fans that have faithfully followed them for decades, that they should honor by playing songs they know they want to hear. its good to play your new stuff, but appeal to those that have carried you financially since the start. |

I'm not some picky asshole, but that setlist from CT sucks.... period. I don't mean to imply that you're a picky asshole. What you are describing (the desire to see a setlist that represents their career) is the whole point of the era tours. Go catch them on those. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:27pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Dance of Death is NOT great. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:28pm - Yeti ""] for example, when Opeth (i dont care if you hate them) came around for the Ghost Reveries tour, if i had gone and they played nothing but the new album, i would have been disappointed. but they played a couple new ones, and then old classics that they know people wanted to hear. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:28pm - Anthony ""] DrinkHardThrashHard said:Dance of Death is NOT great. The only thing that isn't great about DoD is the absolutely horrendous cover artwork. It is an excellent album, imo. |

I love Opeth. But I guess it's just my overall outlook on music, cause I wouldn't have minded too much if they had played that whole album. Dammit, I still wanna hear Harlequin Forest live! |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:31pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Worst Maiden album except for Virtua....gahhh. I don't even want to think about it. Mediocrity defined. If any other band released Dance of Death without the Maiden logo on it, it would have no friends :P |

Wildest Dreams, Rainmaker, Montsegur, the title track and Journeyman are probably mine. |

Montsegur, Paschendale (Bruce does some really cool harmonies in this one), Face in the Sand, Age of Innocence In my opinion, it is one of the most epic Maiden albums. I fucking love it. Up there with Somewhere in Time as one of my favorites. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:41pm - Anthony ""] The new one is great, but so far I don't like it nearly as much. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:42pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Bah! Somewhere in Time is my favorite! |

| _______________________________ [Oct 5,2006 5:29pm - retzam ""] I think my favorite is Powerslave, but I've been listening to a lot of 7th Son lately. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 5,2006 5:30pm - retzam ""] Well... then again, Number Of The Beast has gotta be one of the best albums in all of metal and rock. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 6,2006 1:00pm - anonymous ""] I love Maiden but I think they have all finally gone senile. Maybe they should start taking votes on their website by the fans to see what songs we want them to play. The new album rocks but the whole f'n thing? Come on guys quit eating the prunes and shake your asses a little more. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 6,2006 1:55pm - Eddie Lives ""] Maybe if Sharon was running this tour, the fans would get what they paid good money for. I'm going to the Tweeter show Saturday and will try to sell my pit seats for half price after reading this. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 6,2006 1:55pm - paganmegan ""] christ oh gayness Why can't they just evenly distribute the setlist between old and new? Some bands understand fans want to hear the old shit. Such as, Destruction played about 75% old shit the last time around, and then just three or four newer songs Goddamn you Steve Harris! |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 6,2006 2:15pm - Anthony nli ""] I'm still hoping that Hartford just got screwed and we will get a more normal setlist. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 6,2006 2:17pm - Anthony nli ""] retzam said:Well... then again, Number Of The Beast has gotta be one of the best albums in all of metal and rock. Hallowed be Thy Name is one of the best Maiden songs ever. Some songs on NotB get a little boring after a while though. I can't stand the vocal part on the verse of Invaders anymore, it annoys me. Overall I'd say the next three albums were way better than NotB. |
