[@MrNihilist74]

How could they have not played "The Prophecy". It was such a great song.

[@christschinwon]

I don't really want to imagine Dave Murray on the pink oboe. Thanks for the mental picture!

[@SomewhereInTheMaidenverse]

I have no idea why Bruce said that - such a bizarre thing to say.

[@markojovanovic8856]

"Mr Dave Murray over there...."

[@ccrDan]

Don’t think I’ve ever heard a snare sound so good as Nicko’s on this tour

[@blppt]

Never understood why he left Sonor in the first place---always sounded the best with their stuff.

Iron Maiden is a "Shamanic band" of infinite Truths and love and light. That nobody else can see and understand. Only UNLESS you have Be-come " it " and totally transformed your-Self to infinite Truths of Soul and Spirit in higher dimensions of consciousness can you possibly ever totally understand the beauty of Iron Maiden. Because, "If it's not Shamanic, it's not Organic. " Not many people have the ability to understand Iron Maiden, as most people live in the lies of duality of good and evil of the mind and are just walking "reactions", and lack the consciousness. But, Iron Maiden = Easily the greatest & most beautiful Heavy Metal band in music history. No band writes such depth in their lyrics of the overall human condition with such intelligence & wisdom, bringing light to Truth, combined with such beautiful depth, grace, and power in their music. Absolute masters of their craft and creativity. They are untouchable. All you have to do is read Bruce's published books to see these guys have tons of direct Spiritual experiences. These guys know truth and fully know and see right through the lies of society's game, and they see right through all the lies of Religion (and when I say religion I am talking about the lies churches teach, not true Spirituality, as spirituality and religion are nothing alike). Maiden is so much better than Metallica in so many ways. Much better musicians, better singer, far better songwriting. Much more melodic. More "pure" energy. Have almost twice the albums of Metallica, far more longevity and have so many more great songs, and Maiden never wrote a bad album ( you could say they had a sub-par album in the 90's, but remember that was with half the band missing doing their solo stuff). Metallica never really had much to say, while Maiden has so much to say that allow you to really question so many things. Maiden never sold out by producing garbage albums like Metallica's St Anger to appease popularity and the current music "trends" of society, that always pass away, are totally meaningless, and are fake anyways., And you definitely won't see Iron Maiden prostituting themselves in silly reality TV shows like Metallica and KISS have done for years. It's just not Maiden's style. They have absolutely no interest in being "celebrities", or any gossip/drama. Drawing attention away from them because as they said, the music is about much more than them. Which is why they have a mascot "eddie" on their album covers, so people focus on eddie and not the "images" of the band members. Having Eddie (which is just a representation of the blind ego-based mind) leaves them alone to be themselves and they don't have to have any fake image of being "rock stars". As Bruce once said, We can continue making music when we're old and ugly and just slap Eddie on the album cover and nobody will mind. And it is brilliant. Inner light doesn't need the spotlight. Maiden always stayed true and original. Always timeless. Eternal. Nobody sounds like them and nobody ever will. Nobody will again write such important and complete concept albums with such atmosphere like Somewhere in Time and Seventh son, with that super high-level musicianship and genius bass and guitar work (and no band introduced synthesizers into their music with such seamless genius as Maiden did on those 2 albums),, as the concepts of those albums are vital to every human being and Spirit- realizing the illusion of time, and seventh's son concept of realizing the illusion of duality,. The beauty and truths of 1984's " Powerslave" album with it's beautiful egyptian theme, and the striking messages that are right in the title track itself (Powerslave). How humans are slaves to death (in other words, slaves to the illusions of Time), therefore slaves to needing power or any control or judgment, the cause of all our deep inner separations, our greed and selfishness and total blindness, because of the Ego false-self. All of our problems come from our absolute stupidity of fear of death, as humans are totally separated from Truths of Spirit and Soul. The more one fears death, the more one is fearful of life and fearful of fully receiving and giving love. Truth is always paradoxical, as at the speed of light there is no time, it's the Eternal Now of presence. In other words no duality of Good and evil, but only "unity" consciousness of light of the infinite Oneness of the Universe, as you are the Universe ( it's not a coincidence that Maiden's new album has a song titled "Speed of Light"). And it's not a coincidence that "Somewhere in Time" was their next album after they produced one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time - Powerslave. And who else in heavy metal at the time had the courage to write long 14-minute masterpieces like Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to close out an album?? The answer is nobody else, only Maiden, because it was unheard of before that. And their new album, they just wrote an 18-minute masterpiece to close that album with most of the band over 60. Again, IN-tegrity. Nobody else had a 7-album run like Maiden's first 7 albums. Some bands may put out a couple nice albums in their prime and whisper away into the night, but Maiden put together 7 fantastic albums in a row. And the fact they put out so much great material of those 7 monumental albums in just an 8 year span is unfathomable. Magical. They don't write about meaningless sleaze as other bands do, with the exception of the song "22 Acacia Avenue" in their early days (although the end of that song does have a positive message), and the band said they regretted it, and why they very rarely play it live, even though it is a very good song and fans always ask them to play it live. Speaking of Live, their live albums are excellent. You simply cannot find bands with live albums that can approach Maidens live recordings, and in ways better than the studio albums, and that speaks volumes. And at 60 years of age and 40 years into their careers, they are still pumping out great new material. Unlike Metallica where their last 4 albums they were just looking for something to click with no purpose or direction, just poking around aimlessly, it's blatantly obvious. Just 15 years into Metallica's career they were long done producing shameful music with albums like Reload and St Anger. While Maiden, always progressing itself, yet staying true to their form and originality at the same time, 20+ years into their careers came out with a very good album 'Brave New world' . The band quietly laughing at anyone who thought they were done, with a nice tip of the hat to the legendary psychedelic medicine visionary Alduous Huxley. Many songs on that album like "Dream of Mirrors", and "Ghost of the Navigator" that metallica can't touch. If you want to see what a fraud Metallica has always been, a simple search for Grunge "Metallica's shadiest secrets" will do the trick. And years later, Iron Maiden 25 to 35 years into their careers wrote and produced so many great songs like "The Nomad", "The Talisman", "The Man who would be King", "Paschendale", "Brighter than a Thousands Suns", "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", "Lord of Light, "Empire of the Clouds", "Isle of Avalon", "The Legacy", "The Longest Day", "Montsegur", "Blood Brothers", "Starblind", "Dance of Death", "Out of the Shadows", "The Book of Souls", "Journeyman (and Journeyman being my personal Ayahuasca journey tribute song :-)" .... "Rainmaker", "Coming Home", "For the Greater Good of God", just to name a few songs that metallica hasn't come close to achieving in their mid to later years. Cliff Burton was the heart of Metallica and by far their best and most talented musician. Burton was to Metallica what Steve Harris is to Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is widely considered to be the best heavy metal bassist of all-time, and if Burton were still alive, he'd be right there with Harris, that's how good Burton was. Nobody in Metallica comes close to Burton's immense talent he had as a musician. When Burton passed away in 1986 Metallica went downhill as they lost their true backbone and juice. And they replaced him with mere hired guns to control, just a hired body to fill in, not to have as a real contributor. But let's face it, a major part of Metallica's popularity is just because of the label that they are an 'american band'. Metallica is always covering Maiden songs in their concerts, and they've played multiple Maiden songs in their concerts as Metallica was influenced by Iron Maiden (All you have to hear is Lars Ulrich grovel at Iron Maiden like a lost puppy during Maidens 2008 tour) . But you don't see Maiden covering Metallica songs. Because Maiden IS Maiden. Even if you split the band members into doing solo work, James Hetfield couldn't come close to writing such a beautiful solo album for himself as Bruce did with "The Chemical Wedding", and what a masterpiece album that is. Why don't more people know about Bruce's solo work? who knows, but people are missing out. One thing is for sure, there is so much more love and MYSTERY in Iron Maiden's music. And so much more meaning. And they always truly progressed. Not many people understand the deep Spiritual meanings in Iron Maiden's music, or understand the full concepts of their albums because they're quite deep, mysterious, wonderous, and absolutely magnificent. But once you grow Spiritually to higher levels of Consciousness, Maiden can bring you to weeping tears with their beauty and Truths in their music. Metallica doesn't have that depth, beauty, or power. Real Power is so much more than just playing fast and heavy. Iron Maiden is so much more than just a great heavy metal band, Maiden is much more than the music. As when it comes to the greatest in anything, there is always Much More than meets the eyes (and ears). Eye love you Iron Maiden!!. Gratitude !! Shanti OM . Namaste!

Just commit to a minimum of 20 Ayahuasca ceremonies, and shut up, fully face yourself, totally Surrender, and DIE !!- www.jaysongaddis.com/the-ayahuasca-wave/ And ONLY then will you fully understand how Heavy Metal music is a Magical "DIVINE" creation of the infinite intelligence of the infinite Universe of Spirit. And only then will you fully understand Many MANY magical bands such as Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Black Sabbath, Neurosis, DEATH, Queensryche, Isis, Dio, Tool, Corrosion of Conformity, and many others. What the fuck is the point and "Purpose" of true Art unless you Experience it all directly by DIRECT Experience ?? Direct SPIRITUAL Experiences !! Exactly, without the Direct Spiritual experiences the Art is pointless with no purpose whatsoever. Just as Iron Maiden so eloquently pointed out in their song " Die With your Boots on" Just drink ayahuasca and DIE , because as stated in the lyrics , ONLY then "will there be no point in asking what the game is, there will be no point in asking who's to go" , no point in asking who's to blame, and there will be no point in asking WHAT IT IS !!! :- )

[@robertdemeter5793]

BZ, you can ALWAYS and Forever Trust Artists who have had many sessions with Entheogens/Alchemy (Sacred Divine Plants), such as Iron Maiden and many fantastic Artists have ( some of those Heavy Metal artists eye mentioned in my last post to U = Universe !!). Nature is my church, and Rock n' Roll and Heavy Metal music is my religion. Simply go to Google images, and type in- "What do Entheogens do" .. in the address bar, and click on the first photo you see with the Shaman holding his hands in the form of a pyramid (triangle), and there you go :- ) Eye am always in constant laughter and JOY, every moment of all my days ! As Truth is ALWAYS Paradoxical in our infinitely magical and wondrous multi-dimensional enchanted Universe. And isn't it so hilarious that those disgusting and USELESS Pastors in your Christian churches and your pathetic church-goers always told us that Heavy Metal music is "Evil" and that music is of the "devil" (LOL !) .. Yet in Reality it is Christians who are the darkest, the most disgusting and most hateful monsters in the Universe, while some of those major Heavy Metal bands/artists are Really the ANGELS - vimeo.com/262892521/description Infinite Cosmic jokes !! Thank you Mother Ayahuasca ! .. Infinite Endless Eternal GRATITUDE !! :- )

Oh Man... Nicko's snare sounds amazing!! I saw this tour in Worcester, Ma... Was so far away I couldn't see anything but wow was it amazing!! Always have been my favorite band and always will!! Up the irons!

[@sleepwalker2210]

I was lucky enough to catch them twice on this tour. The 1st time was at Donington and I was at the front. I'm on the reverse cover of the single in the crowd. And the 2nd time was at Newport Centre in Wales and once again I was front and centre in the crowd. Both performances were absolutely phenomenal and this video catches the show perfectly. I've seen them 26 times now and can't wait to go again !

Being a self taught musician... I owe all my neo classical to The Great Iron Maiden

[@RepukeinScapegoat]

Feel the sweat break on my brow Is it me or is it shadows that are Dancing on the walls Is this a dream or is it now Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes I wonder why, I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger Every day I feel a strength an inner fire But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore, anymore There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right In through your mind See the truth…

Este es por lejos el mejor sonido de Iron Maiden, janicks Gers nunca fue un real aporte a la banda, creo que ver esta gira será alucinante, espero que las guitarras suenen asi como en este concierto, ya que hoy por hoy le han dado una ecualización muy , pero muy penca a las guitarras.
