Iron Maiden are a classic band. And classic in the sense they're now much older. They're great, but for how long? They can't do these long tours anymore. But man, I still love them to death. I've been a fan since 1982.

[@sbeehre]

I just saw them in Auckland and it was one of the best performances I've seen from the lads! the first time i saw them was when i was in high school in 1992 on the Fear of the Dark tour, it amazes me that at 48 I'm still able to go and see Iron Maiden! This tour was especially impactful for me because Somewhere in Time was featured heavily and that album was the one which got me and all my mates into Iron Maiden back in the late 80's.

[@chris_williams_music]

@@sbeehre thanks for sharing, awesome that that particular album shaped your love for the band! Love how their tours are all different and can showcase certain eras of the band! 🤘🔥

My all-time favourite Maiden song is Wasted Years and I finally got to see them perform it. I'm so glad they're still together and they're still good friends. Too many of my favourite bands have broken up or lost key members due to egos and friction. Up the Irons!!!

Ive seen them 31 times, starting back in 1983. Next week will be 2 more times in Tokyo! I have seen hundreds of shows, even spent a lot of time backstage as a musician in a former life. And Iron Maiden is the only band I will get on a plane and fly around the world to see, they have never let me down, and the fans are always great. They always play Doctor Doctor by UFO before they come on, and us fans treat it like one of theirs and sing along, its amazing.

[@danw4490]

I've been a Maiden fan for 35 years now. I've been with them through ups and downs. When Bruce got throat cancer, I resigned myself to the belief that his voice would never be the same again. But then he did The Mandrake Project Tour and is now doing this new tour and he sounds incredible! There are performances he did in the Mandrake Project Tour that rival performances he did 30 years ago. Amazing! This is my favorite band. They got me into heavy metal and they have been a part of my life since I was first introduced to them. I've met them a number of times. Bruce is shockingly down to Earth, very intellectual, very creative, very funny and just a really nice guy. Great video!

[@dibber43]

How they are playing LIVE is AMAZING!!! The only downfall for me is that they aren't playing enough older songs.

[@chris_williams_music]

@@dibber43 yeah I noticed that they left some of their catalogue off the list in this “Future Past” tour. Probably as they were focusing on a specific time period. However pretty good that they have that many great songs to choose from 🤘

[@jasonstouder]

Good review. My history with Maiden is similar- Terrified me as a kid but i appreciate their professionalism and music skills, now, at 51. I ESPECIALLY appreciate that Maiden never found it necessary to go all satan on us like a lot of other bands have. As a result, they put on an amazing, creatively epic show.

[@craigsibson6541]

Saw this show a couple of years ago when they started the first leg in the UK it was awesome. Seen Maiden many times over the years and never have been disappointed. Whether playing a regular tour show or headlining Donnington they always give it 100 percent. Hence the reputation as one of the greatest live bands around.

I used to be an absolute diehard maiden fan back in the day and then I started listening to some other stuff when bruce left for a bit in the 90s (I love the stuff they did then too just as much) and went thru a phase of listening to marylin manson before a couple of years back I met my old history teacher on the street. he is an awesome guy who owned every single iron maiden did on vinyl and it gave me the idea to stick powerslave on in the car and I now listen to them every day like I did when I was a kid!

A Maiden fan since 1980. First saw them in 1981 and last saw them for this tour in 2023, and about 20 in between. You've done a nice job at capturing the essence of Maiden as a band and as live performers. Their drop-off after 40+ years has been negligible, if at all, and in many respects they're a more impressive band today than they were in the 80s.

[@thomasbonnett4800]

I’m 57. My first concert was Maiden’s “Piece of Mind” tour, 1983 in Lincoln, Nebraska. I haven’t actively consumed their new material since “Powerslave,” but they are without fail the band I see every time they’re nearby. Best bang for the concert buck, from the musicianship and vocals to the pure theater of it. They were my first, they’ll be my last. I’m largely ambivalent when bands past their prime finally retire, but I will genuinely grieve when Maiden hangs it up. And I have a feeling they will do so when they know it’s time vs. milk it for years beyond when they’re worth seeing. If I have one critique of Maiden, it’s that I wish they’d work with a producer who could reconnect them to the classic Maiden sound, like Priest and Accept did. As RazorFist put it, this is a band that hasn’t been told no for 40 years, and it frequently shows in their studio output. But live? Few if any rivals.

Janick? Solo? Where?

[@chris_williams_music]

@@chris101gray3 I’m only getting up to speed on Janick and understand he replaced Adrian? Do you rate him as a lead guitarist?

Loved the encore! Not interested in openers...Killswitch Engage

[@chris_williams_music]

@@shanewilliams3165 Yes, I missed Killswitch, who do you think would be a worthy act to open up for maiden? Such a hard spot to fill.

Saw em in the 80’s they were good but I always liked the Dianno era more ..

I saw Maiden in Brisbane and Sydney last week...anyone thinking their past it....haha your talking out your ass!

@@tonymontana-uw1bq Agree mate! Way more energy than alot of bands half their age! 🤘🔥

Bruce turned 666 on the 7th of august. Congrats!!!

[@chris_williams_music]

I see what you did there Peter! Nice 👏🔥

I am sorry, Nicko has to step down, it's dragging the whole band down. Steve won't ask him because he's too loyal.

[@chris_williams_music]

@@scottblack9213 Interesting opinion! Could anyone else step in and replicate the style of Nicko?

[@michaelyatsco1958]

Gosh I don't know how to put this so I don't get crucified. First off Maiden kicks ass live and they are a gold standard compared to so many awful acts out there these days sounding terrible Axl, Jon Bon Jovi etc. Bruce vocally for his age in metal unmatched. However for some reason don't know why after awhile Bruce's vocals begin to annoy and wear on me a bit live. Like a solo song for example Tears of a Dragon love it. However some of the Maiden songs after awhile maybe all the high stuff bothers me. Kind of the same way I can go to an opera and say wow total props that dude can sing technically amazing pure talent but after about 30 minutes of opera it begins to wear on me a bit in person.

[@chris_williams_music]

@@michaelyatsco1958 love this opinion mate! There’s much to say about all these 80s and 90s bands where the singers are now much older and it so hard to keep hitting those notes night after night! Like you mentioned, GNR, Bon Jovi, Motley Crüe. Agree Bruce seems to be holding the fort the best.

[@michaelyatsco1958]

@@chris_williams_music Thanks Surprisingly one of my favorite Dickinson songs is Tattooed Millionaire I'm sure most Maiden fans totally hate it because it was more drifting to a hard rock song than usual metal maiden song but I think it's got a fantastic hook and lyrics

[@bluwng]

They are closer to 70s

[@chris_williams_music]

@@bluwng ya think they’ll be still playing in 5 years? Rolling Stones still playing in their late 70s?

PAST IT. 86 janik....don't know why he's there anyway....no need to have 3 guitars especially when he's not an actual original member, dead weight

What is this opinion mean do you even like metal music in genneral

[@chris_williams_music]

@@carsonpeterson758 I am a big fan of metal music just never listened to too much Iron Maiden in my life! Seeing them live though has changed that! What bands are in your top 5?

[@lesleyrussell8200]

in my opinion after paul anderson the band changed the sound and the style, and dickinson was never good as anderson...

[@chris_williams_music]

@@lesleyrussell8200 interesting point! You made me go and look this up! Has no idea that Bruce replaced Paul! 👍🏻

@@nikosoutsikas9643 “Future Past” is the name of Iron Maidens current tour. “Future Past or Past It” is just a play on words to give you an indication that the video is about a discussion on Iron Maidens recent performance on their tour. Hope that makes sense. I like your art portfolio mate!
