Malahide Castle, June 25th

Pass.
How much of a dose is this gaf to get in and out of
Gettin in not too bad, getting out painful.
Ah fantastic, this is a great announcement.
havent seen them since 2005 or 2006, really looking forward to this one.
Just hope Ticketmaster dont act the c**t with the tickets.
I still have a sore hole from the cost of Pantera.
I'll give it a miss too. Can't be arsed with Malahide, it'll be north of a ton for tickets and there'll be songs from No Prayer... and FOTD. Fuck that.
I see they've kept up the tradition of having shit support acts.
I'd guess you'll get Bring Your Daughter and Fear of the Dark and perhaps one other from those albums. 9 albums and probably only 16 songs at most. Though they should do the Charlotte the Harlot trilogy in full - Turn the stage into one dodgy looking brothel :laugh:
Malahide is a lovely venue. Those 2 albums are grand too.
A Wednesday night too, don't think we need to worry about dynamic pricing forcing the price up anyway
No they played Belfast 2 years ago outdoors and it might have just about sold out 15k. I'd say this is a bigger outdoor venue maybe 20 -25k? They'll do well to fill it
Great news about the gig, was worried it might be Belfast and they seem to have done every Belfast/Dublin alternatively for the past few tours. Surprised they're back so soon again, maybe they're thinking how long more can we go on and they're trying to do as much as they can while they are able :)
Quote from: Halo on September 19, 2024, 10:34:02 AMA Wednesday night too, don't think we need to worry about dynamic pricing forcing the price up anyway
Hard to predict, they sold out the 3Arena last time, I see Malahide Csstle is 20k, isn't 3 Arena 16k, so only 4k more.Never been there, would have preferred the arena to an outdoor gig, but hey, I'm grateful they're still touring.
3 ARena I thought was 13k
Looking forward to this in hope they cut out the long songs..seen every tour since dance of death and getting progressively more bored with the longer stuff..give us 1.5hrs of party pub metal.. would sell a bollock to hear tailgunner , holy smoke and a few killers numbers. Early days tour killers numbers were meh
Haven't seen them since they played the 3 Arena back in 2010? Probably head along to this since the chances of seeing them much more are getting fairly slim
Caught them on the Early days and Somewhere back in time tours and Maiden England from 2013/14 so I've pretty much seen the set list a few times. Expect FOTD (obviously) and perhaps Afriad to shoot strangers. Not sure what the play from No Prayer.. these days. Never heard anything from it despite it giving them their only no 1 UK
Probably will have to give this a miss again, seen them 13 times already and with a kid these days and it being a school night gigs dont happen as much these days.
And of course what they charge as well these days for gigs

First and last time to see them was on the DoD tour in The Point... twenty years ago now come December ???
Considering the age of these lads, the fact that Nicko is already stripping back some of his drum parts, this could well be one of the last times to catch them.
Is Nicko's son not waiting in the wings to overtake live duties?

21 years ago that one, my first time seeing them.
I like No Prayer, I rarely would reach for it, but I'd be at the stage now where any variation is interesting to see live.
Can't see me busting myself to get tickets when they go on sale, but I'll be in Malahide next summer no doubt.
I get the nepotism, but it's just so boring to have The Raven Age constantly support. Who fuckin cares.
Oh fuck me you're right, it is 21 years this year.
So that's the same timespan between then and now, and then and The Number of The Beast ???
At least getting to gigs will be a lot fucking handier once we all have bus passes :laugh:
Deadly news! As said before it might be the last time they play here. I'm tempted by the London date too.
That gig in the point in 2003 was the one and only time I've seen them.They are a band I loved in my very young teens getting into metal.But a band I grew out of fast,I'll see closer to the date,never been to Malahide Castle.
They were good last year in the 3 arena not good enough to suffer through this though.
Hard pass for me
Tempted but how the hell do you get out of Malahide after unless you are driving?
I was getting the last train from Connelly out to maynooth from the iron maiden gig last summer in the 3 arena and the train was full of people who had come from the Blur concert in Malahide castle, so presumably one can catch the DART?
Yeah Dart would be wedged though, not sure I'd want to rely on it.
I got the Dart from there after the Cure concert a few years back was the finest
Iron Maiden won't have dynamic ticket pricing for their Run For Your Lives Tour
https://www.kerrang.com/iron-maiden-wont-have-dynamic-ticket-pricing-for-their-run-for-your-lives-tour
Planning on heading to this. Have seen Maiden loads of times but it can't be too long now before they pack it in so will catch them when they're here. Any info on ticket prices yet? I can't imagine they'll be able to charge too much if they plan on drawing a big crowd, apparently it can hold ~20k?
It's €83-€88 before fees
I reckon I'll go - last time they did a retro set in the RDS was great, even if the sound wasn't the best.
Front standing was €96.30 after fees.
Mastercard presale link. This presale is happening now and I'm guessing anyone can use it but you need a mastercard to pay.

I went back for a 2nd front standing ticket yesterday afternoon, was only getting normal standing but kept refreshing the basket and got another front standing after about ten minutes.
Yeah a few refreshes throughout the day might work, hopefully.
The Mastercard presale accepts Revolut, apparently.

Am considering bringing my two young lads aged 6 and 8 to this for their first gig. I've never been to malahide so no idea of set up, eg is there a natural amphitheatre or is it just a flat field? Am I mad even thinking about it with two small boys in tow? Any of ye ever bring yer childers to metal gigs?

My son's first(and only gig so far) were Iron Maiden in Paris 2 years ago, he was 8 at the time.
He wasn't really interested in it much, to be honest. My daughter was 13 at the time, and we've visited a couple of Metal gigs together aftwerwards.

Gas you mention it as I was only thinking about this today. My young lad (10) is starting to get into his music (he likes some stuff from Metallica, Megadeth and a bit of Maiden)...and is pestering me to take him to a gig. I'm in two minds about this as, from a purely selfish perspective, you're definitely not going to get the same level of enjoyment out of a gig where you're constantly on alert looking out for the kid, making sure he's not getting bumped into or encountering drunk morons. I dunno if I'm ready for that yet. And two kids? God help ya!
Brought my 7 yr old to Sum 41 , yes I'll leave the hall, in Fairview Park this summer. It was brilliant tbf, staff brought us aside on entry, gave us wristbands for a kids section of the pit area (golden circle), we had normal price tickets. They informed us what to do if she got lost etc, they were top class. Once we established most of the pit was safe enough we went into it with her on my shoulders. She had the time of her life. Obviously Maiden will bring a far bigger crowd and drunks etc so its your own shout. If it goes well tho its a great experience

Be more hassle than its worth,still a bit young I'd say.
My eldest is 12,has no interest in music,but my middle fella is 9 and definitely has the music bug.Will definitely get him to a gig at some point.
Sorted a few Front Standing via that MCD presale so happy days.
Haven't seen Maiden since 2017 so a bit overdue!
My young lad is 4 - looking forward to hopefully bringing him to a gig but it'll be waaaay down the line :laugh:
Feck they'd want to be 12 or more really, there's always a lot of walking at these gigs , plus if you want to get midway up they'd want to be able to take a schlap
I'm guessing the front standing are the pit tickets?
Went on this morning and there was just general standing available
Front standing tickets were only a fiver more than the general standing so not surprised they are gone, I got mine in the MCD presale yesterday.
I assume there will be more front standing released when the general sales begins in an hour.
Given that it's only a fiver more I imagine the front standing section is massive? Probably more like front half of the field rather than a pit/gold circle.
Is this actually sold out? Doesn't seem to be anything on Ticketmaster.
Quote from: jpm4 on December 07, 2024, 08:52:36 PMIs this actually sold out? Doesn't seem to be anything on Ticketmaster.
Seems so. I have a spare regular standing ticket if someone wants it, let me know. Just looking for the price I paid for it.
Wow that's a surprise. I thought there'd be a few tickets left even on the day.
I'd recommend checking Ticketmaster every now and again. When I tried getting a ticket on the day of release, all the Front Standing tickets had already been sold in the pre-sale. :( Over the following weeks, I checked Ticketmaster about once a week and eventually (just over a month ago), I saw Front Standing tickets become available. I was going to be in town the following day and I was lucky enough to get my ticket from the good people in The Soundcellar. :)
Front Pit standing tickets available on Ticketmaster right now. Not resale so just normal price. In case anyone has missed out, now is the time to bag them.

Nice one!
Ah sound, picked up a Front Standing there - never been to Malahide for a gig, is that a sort of pit/separate section? When you click on the site layout on TM it just shows you a pic of the band, very helpful altogether.
Feels like a silly question but things with tickets have changed so much over the last few years, I just want to check - I have a gold circle, mate of mine has a normal standing. At Malahide Castle, does my gold circle ticket work for both regular standing AND gold circle? I know at Ac/Dc in Wembley - one entrance on the left led to regular standing and the other entrance on the right led to Gold Circle, dont think you could come out of it with the way the layout was and just wondering is that a new a thing nowadays or just a one off? :laugh:
Usually when it's just a big field like this you get a wrist band allowing you access to the Gold circle but you're allowed out the sides and can access the general standing area to get to the merch and bars at the back - but I haven't been to Malahide with this setup so don't know for sure.
Looking at the setlist for the first gig of the tour- its completely stacked, should be a great night.
Had fairly tepid expectations but it's looking great
Aside from Fear Of The Dark that's a fantastic setlist, kinda wish I was going now.
Watched a stream on a fan forum..crude quality but jaysus that looked an incredible show up til the encore..I'll be exiting stage left for that to get out of malahide..no desire to hear them 3 songs again..rest of the show is incredible tho in fairness.. looking forward to it now big time
New drummer has given them the kick up the arse they long needed ..Bruce sounds top drawer as well
Setlist is longer than the last tour - down to having the new drummer maybe?
Yeah they were definitely making concessions for Nicko on the last tour.
Encore is kinda of uninspiring but bulk of the main set is good enough for me
There'll always be songs I'd like to hear that are left out, but no real complaints with that set
Is it just me or is that drumming very cumbersome?
I thought the same, he was playing them slower. Hopefully just first-day nerves
He's got a funny way of hovering over a cymbal for a moment before hitting it.
QuoteNew drummer has given them the kick up the arse they long needed
Don't know if I can agree with that at all. Watching more clips here this guy looks awkward as fuck. Nicko had settled into a rut creatively and live stuff had declined for sure but not convinced this is the solution.
Here he is in the 90s. Very different style to Maiden, but sounds tight.
I wonder if they'll stick with the same setlist for the entire tour. There's a few songs there that I wouldn't mind seeing dropped for better replacements.
Nah, you could set your watch to a Maiden tour setlist.
They might drop a song if they are too knackered to keep playing a 17 song set.
Iron Maiden were my favourite band in the late 80s but I had lost interest in their new stuff when "No Prayer for the Dying" was released in 1990 and nothing I've heard from them in the intervening years has done much for me (that could be my own tastes changing). Interestingly, the 1990 tour was the one time I got to see them live (with fine support from Wolfsbane who had just released their B-movie sci-fi homage, "All Hell's Breaking Loose Down at Little Kathy Wilson's Place").
I still love their albums from the 80s so when I heard they were going to play only songs from the first ten albums for their forthcoming tour, I figured this would be a good opportunity to see them play live again – even though I'm not a fan of Malahide Castle as a venue. I checked their Budapest set-list (https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/iron-maiden/2025/papp-laszlo-sportarena-budapest-hungary-1b53d97c.html) and now I'm even more excited. It's a solid set-list and fairly representative of their early albums (though I'd love to see "Running Free" included).
Some difference of kit between the 2 tours. Looks like looks like ol' Simon is playing on a kids set in comparison :laugh:

Was at the Budapest show. Brilliant gig. Mighty craic when the whole crowd hasn't a clue of the setlist too.
Visuals look alot more 3D in person, compared to the youtube clips.
Thought the band were well on form.
Loved the setlist - would have prefered something else to Aces High & Wasted Years, felt they played those 2 songs quite abit on recent tours. They've got a few songs they cant drop too often like Fear, Beast, Hallowed, Trooper, Hills etc than to add those two songs to that list. But just knitpicking, Aces & Wasted are great songs.
They must be playing to a click on this tour to sync the music with the visuals??? If so, that wouldn't be the drummers fault for a couple of the tunes to sound slightly slower.
FYI there has been another drop of Front standing tickets on Ticketmaster at face value if anyone is looking for one
Never been to a gig in Malahide, what's it like trying to get out afterwards?
Back up for work at 5 the next morning so wondering if I might need to skip the encore if it's going to take ages
Up at 5am? Ouch!
Going to see The Cure in 2019, we got the DART out to Malahide but didn't fancy battling with thousands of others to get a train back to the city centre after the concert. We paid €10 to get a bus back to town but with congested traffic, it took ages to get out of Malahide. When we eventually arrived at O'Connell Street, we could see that lots of Metallica fans had already made it back from Slane before us. That's just one reason I don't like Malahide as a venue. The roads are just too small and residential. I suspect you'll have to skip the encore if you don't want to be stuck in traffic. Best of luck with it!
Am thinking about how to get out of there after the gig also, I live in Phibsborough am considering cycling there and back. Don't think I can deal with traffic or dart madness.
I also live in Phibsborough and when replying to Trev, I was thinking what I should do, myself. I thought of going for a drink afterwards and then getting the last DART back. But that would be a risk as there's a fair chance that the DART station could still be full of fans who weren't able to get on one of earlier trains.
I then looked up TFI's Journey Planner and it estimates that cycling to Phibsborough would take an hour and 20 minutes. I haven't cycled anywhere in months and I'd have to get my bike working again (replace spokes in rear wheel) but I might just do that. It depends on whether I end up going with a friend-of-a-friend or not (I just have one ticket for myself) and what the weather is like on the day (with glasses, I hate cycling in the rain at night).

Sure we could get a tandem bike and share the effort :laugh:
By Google maps it's about 50 mins which isn't too bad, if I'm not lashing into the beer that is.
After The Cure I stumbled around drunk for a while and then got a bus into town handy enough.
Was talking to a neighbour who said his sister lives in Malahide about a 15 minute walk from the park and I could park at hers. Probably need to skip the last song or two to beat traffic, but fuck it, setlist is big enough and I'm hoping to catch another show next month
Now just to convince my missus to drive so I can have a few pints! :laugh:
I see they've put up the venue map and there's only one entrance, just wondering how the front standing tickets work? Is there a barrier across the middle of the field with access to the front? Never been to Malahide Castle so curious as to how they do it.

Yeah, there's a barrier and you get a wristband to access the front standing section.

Im sticking up a front standing ticket on tmaster there nown face value if anyone wants to grab it . cant make the gig
Its up there now
Just in case anyone is interested, the "Iron Maiden Dive Bar" is in Lost Lane tomorrow and Wednesday, 13:00 to 02:00.
They'll (apparently) have merch, trooper and the wine. Run To The Beast will also be playing a set each day, 20:00 tomorrow and 14:00 Wednesday.
I'll wander in tomorrow at some stage.
I just put a front standing up for resale at face value if anyone is looking.
Any stage times for tomorrow?
What time do ye think would be wise to get the dart from Connolly? Dont want to go out too early, but also dont want to land down to see a huge line and be stuck there for ages :laugh:

Maiden on at 8.30
Two maiden tickets available €70 each can meet in malahide village.
Had to have a chuckle at the trooper beer being labelled 'progressive lager', thankfully didn't include three minutes of noodling before being served :P

Steve Harris was raging the tag line "ah that's bass" had already been used by someone else
If anyone else is thinking of biking it here - area for bikes very close to the parking area near the venue.
That was fucking brilliant, 7th son my personal favourite but all good
The visuals were class, particularly during the intro and Ancient Mariner.
Waving the tri colour during The Trooper was a nice touch, have they done that before?
Was great that that Bruce could wave Union Jack during The Trooper and nobody gave a fuck, waving the Tricolour after was a nice touch
Deadly gig. Visuals were great. New boy on drums was brilliant too. Personal highlights were Killers, Phantom, Powerslave and mariner. All class though. Not a bad way to celebrate one's 50th birthday, and it being Maiden's 50th too.
A friend just sent me a picture of the lines for the dart afterwards, it gave me anxiety :laugh:
Great gig, mariner and powerslave did it for me. Wasted years one of my favourites too, did they mess it up a bit before AS started his solo? Only problem was we were about 1 hr waiting to get out of coach park. And there was a cool event t shirt but they must not have had many as they sold out fast, and crikey, were the merch queues slow or what.....

I've seen them 7 times in Ireland since DOD 2003,I think, and I've never seen that. Mind you one was Belfast, :)
That went well. Brought my two young lads aged 6 and 9 and they enjoyed it. I'll admit I was fretting over getting out of the place after having read plenty of reports describing Malahide as a nightmare after a gig. Elected to watch the encore from up the back and hit the exit as Wasted Years started (my favourite Maiden song :( ) . I sailed out of the place in the car and was home in Roscommon at 1210am. On the other hand getting in was a right pain in the hole in rush hour traffic and took about an hour from the turn off at Dublin airport.
I wouldn't say I loved the performance but I'm definitely not a Maiden fanatic anyway and I never go to big outdoor gigs like that anymore. That set list was more or less perfect for me. The 80s classics. Bigger crowd than I expected. Padded out with mostly middle aged part time rockers by the looks of things. Maiden, GNR, AcDc patches on the jackets with the likes of slipknot and pantera on them too for good measure ;D
Food was a rob and can't comment on the pints as I was driving. Good night and probably my last time seeing Maiden. Delighted I brought my kids to see such legends before their time is up.
Good going, the bus west just passing Kinnegad, it's 12.52, and the gig finished 10.30
Enjoyed the gig but the drumming was sloppy as shit I thought. It felt like Nicko had dropped out with 24hrs notice and Simon had stepped in. Even small details like the offbeat China cymbal on 2 Minutes to Midnight missing. Jarring at times.
Agreed - whoever said that was a good drummer needs to put down the crack pipe for a minute. Thought the videos I'd seen were alarming but it was worse live. Clunky and cumbersome. He will be gone before they record the next album
Great gig , greatcsetlist no issue with drums at all, sound was a bit washy at times no complaints thought crowd was a bit dead in spots.
Quote from: Grim Reality on June 26, 2025, 12:43:57 AMgetting in was a right pain in the hole in rush hour traffic and took about an hour from the turn off at Dublin airport.
The freeway was jammed and backed up for miles?
Setlist was brilliant, there was stuff I'd have replaced but with a catalogue like theirs they're never going to play everything you want. Mariner was a real highlight, not sure what that rambling intro Bruce had for it was all about though!
Best thing I can say about the drummer is he was competent enough, but he got the job not on ability but because he's Steve's mate and it really shows
Quote from: Uinsion on June 26, 2025, 12:25:03 AM... there was a cool event t shirt but they must not have had many as they sold out fast...
Did not even see that ;D
They sometimes put them up for a limited time afterwards so you might be able to pick it up online from them
I enjoyed the gig, enjoyable setlist, I had not seen them in a long time as I had skipped the last tour, interesting to see the migration from physical Eddies/painted backdrops to the CGI though the onstage Eddies were better than usual, also bailed as Wasting Years started (not a favourite of mine) so was on a DART into town at 22:40.

Thank you sir :)
Only available for 48hrs or something. Ghastly piece of merch for €51, but fill your boots!
Great time at this, Maiden always deliver, though prob not the slickest performance I've seen by them. I was well aware of the setlist beforehand, really enjoyed it, Powerslave prob the highlight. Visuals were cool, the bright evening prob didn't help with them overall, I thought Rime would have been cooler if it was dark, but sure that's nobody's fault.
Malahide was a better venue overall than I expected inside in terms of space and sound for the gig, getting out of the carpark and village was a pain in the hole.
Dire, dire support. If you're The Raven Age, supporting Daddy once again, do something to make yourself interesting. Play a wee 30sec jam of Maiden riffs there, cause nobody is paying to see you and everybody knows why you're there, you may as well lean into it.
On pre-order 'til 2nd of August it says there. Pretty awful though, look at the size of Eddie's head! :laugh:

Yes, I saw that. I also see this:

Well enjoyed that, only other time I saw them was for the Book of Souls tour so nice to hear a lot of the classics. Drummer seemed to struggle more with the Clive Burr material than the Nicko stuff I thought.
Support terrible but that's par the course for Maiden.
Get a different drummer in and I reckon they have a few years left, definitely don't think Bruce is ready to pack it in anyway.
Just looking at some photos there, some crowd at it. That must be the biggest audience they've played to in Ireland surely (unless the Belfast show a coupla years ago was bigger)? What was it, 20,000?
I was at Belfast it was smaller think 15k
Just on the support, I expected little from Halestorm but thought they were decent enough. Yer man's drum solo made me laugh. Maiden were class as usual. Wondered if 'Powerslave, 2 mins & Rime' might drag but far from it, thought it worked really well
That shirt is shockingly bad, must be the worst of the current tour

I'd say so they did play RDS years ago with Marilyn Manson and Turbonegro. Bigger capacity but tickets sales here for them stronger now I suspect.

The absurd amount of Riggs influenced artists nowadays but the tight bastards won't bother commissioning something decent.

Credit where it's due Halestorm are around a long time and mostly drew from an album that isn't even released yet.
Rime had some of the best visuals, brilliant evening. Organisation could have been better in a few regards. Queues to the dart were sizeable but moved quick that it wasn't so taxing.
Enjoyed the gig. Really fantastic setlist which I'd managed to stay away from having spoiled for me so it was great seeing what they played. Loved the idea of the new visual backgrounds. Sound was a bit iffy, not much clarity at times but I guess you have to deal with that outdoors and in a big venue.
Felt like the band weren't on top form. Lots of mistakes and a few were very noticeable. Surprised to see Adrian smith having a few as he's usually very solid. Felt a bit like Bruce's voice was a bit strained at times but not bad for his age and he was still tearing around the stage for the 2 hours.
Had never been to Malahide for a gig before. I liked the vibe of a big outdoor gig but there was a few things that could have been improved. The jacks only being at the back was stupid, you had to walk all the way back through the crowd to use the toilets. The queues were bad at times too like right before Maiden were starting. More toilets or even urinals at the front aswell would have helped. It was a bit slow getting in and out due to traffic but I'd heard it was bad beforehand so was expecting it.
Also what's the story with them not playing Always look on the Bright side of Life after the gig? Love walking away after seeing them with everyone singing and whistling along.
I felt it wasn't a patch on the last show in Dublin, or the Legacy show in Belfast, but still for a bunch of pensioners they are still a great live act.
The drummer wasn't too bad, but totally missing the Nicko feel. I wouldn't be a massive Nicko fan but he had his own style & groove which was totally absent.
Jesus that shirt :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Really enjoyed the gig, maiden are always a solid show. Set list was fantastic. First time at malahide and it's a cool spot. I got an event bus in so there wasn't much walking or pricking around with having to get public transport which was nice for a change.
Was kinda funny seeing the band make mistakes, they're usually so on point. Guess they're human after all! New drummer wasn't fantastic - he absolutely destroyed a few bits by slowing down to a snails pace. You could see Adrian getting annoyed at it in Wasted Years and he flubbed the solo as a result.
Would love to see this show indoors. I think the production suffered from the large outside stage, no fault of the band there though.
Long day for us driving up from Cork and staying in the city. Had go get a taxi to the venue. Getting out was a nightmare as well so bit the bullet and got another cab before midnight prices hit.
Venue is okay, nice when you're in the crowd but everything else is a dose. Sound was meh as well.
Setlist was good, played Clairvoyant and Rime which I love. I'd be a Nicko fan alright and he was missed. Your man seems like he's just trying to get through the set.
Doesn't Eddie usually make an appearance during the song Iron Maiden? Also no Guinness drinking this time.
Saw this show indoors and outdoors. Was up close for both gigs. Both different experiences.
Watched some of it outside of the gold circle when going all the way to the back for the jacks and then back down again for a pint. The layout having the toilets at the back of the venue and the bars at the front of the venue is a bizarre setup. It made for a constant sea of people moving up and down the pitch non stop, it can be distracting from the gig having people walking by you every 2 seconds :laugh:
Music could have been louder, could often hear chatter louder than the music. Guess thats just an outdoor gig, indoor gigs someone would have to go up to your ear for you to notice them speaking :laugh:

Wasted Years sounded notably off pace, especially the intro part and even when it comes back to that part during the song. Ironic that Bruce made the click track comment earlier in the night.
Re: That t shirt...
It's like burnt toast, it's nice if you like it.
Albeit expensive toast :)
There were a few asking about it on their Facebook page, so at least I'm not the only one with bad taste 8)
And anyways, I thought with t shirts, the more garish they are the better.

I more disappointed in the use of AI in the visuals:
https://inews.co.uk/culture/music/iron-maiden-glastonbury-gwyneth-paltrow-yurt-3765516
This article says the opening video was "AI-assisted" but also that the stuff on the screens was "a couple of million quid's worth of production", which suggests if AI was used they were robbed ;D
Some of the screen stuff had that AI sheen to it, you know when everything is a bit too glossy. Also some of it looked like that AI turn a picture into a video thing with slight movement added. Not sure if was AI or just Steve Harris having awful taste. The idea is decent but you could tell there was more money/effort gone into some of the songs screens than others.

Apparently there's a save the date ad gone up in Cardiff. (EDIT; Apparently it is not Cardiff)
Think I'll try to make one of the Balkan gigs in May, Athens is on a Saturday.
Bruce has a go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5BMI88QO_w
Knebworth has been mentioned, with the Almighty, Airborne and the darkness in support.
Keeping up that tradition of having shite support bands, I see.
At least there's no shitedown.
The camping and themed bar and fairground thing is kinda cool but yeah at £127 ticket and £45 for the two nights camping it adds up quickly.
The supports are kinda unimpressive you'd expect an arena sized act for that money if they're making a day festival of it (like System of a Down having recent Download headliners Queens of the Stone Age as support).
The Hu and Airbourne have also toured with Maiden a lot
Quote from: Carnage on September 22, 2025, 05:12:52 PMKeeping up that tradition of having shite support bands, I see.
The Almighty are good. Will die on that hill.
I saw them in '91, supporting Megadeth. They were alright on the night so I bought an album shortly after (can't remember what one), it was shite. Haven't bothered with them since, maybe they improved.
I had the Soul Destruction LP, unfussy, the equivalent of a nice cheap brand of lager, does the job. I don't mind it, to each his own.
I think it was their early live album I had, now that I think of it. Just didn't hit the spot at the time, but then I had my thrash/DM blinkers on then and had little time for anything else.
Soul Destruction is meat and potatoes rock, superb stuff!!
Blaze Bayley added on now to the Knenbworth show doing a set from his stint with the band, nice gesture from them
It is, those songs deserve to be heard. His show in whelans was awesome has to be said. Delighted for him.
Yeah there's a lot of really good stuff, admittedly some awful songs too that drag on way too much, but that's the case for the reunion albums too. They just get a pass from the general crowd because it's Bruce singing them
That's it exactly. Virtual is the weaker of the two, most of what you mention is on that. But some bangers there too, Clansman, Futureal etc
The Blaze albums are way stronger than the last 2 Maiden albums imo.
Peewee Herman is stronger than the last two Maiden albums.
True enough 😄
X-Factor is legitimately one of my favourites.
Quote from: blessed1 on April 01, 2026, 08:55:40 AMThe Blaze albums are way stronger than the last 2 Maiden albums imo.
I would say that's a very fair comment!! I'd go further and say they're stronger than the majority of material released since Bruce returned :o
I think Brave New World is excellent and Dance Of Death has some great songs but after that I didn't rate anything bar a few songs on AMOLAD and Final Frontier. The ones that came after them are terrible.
I think Bruce Dickinson's solo stuff from Accident Of Birth on pisses all over Maidens recent stuff. Chemical Wedding is one of the best Heavy Metal albums from the 1990s imo.

I'd swap around BNW and DoD, otherwise completely agree. I've listened to Book of Souls once or twice, don't think I even got through a full playthrough of Senjutsu
Mostly agree. Brave is brilliant, they were rejuvenated and firing on all cylinders. I'll never forget how disappointed I was with Dance of Death, absolutely appalling, going through the motions. Awful artwork and lyrics. The title track, No More Lies, Journeyman etc are pure cringe. Especially Dance of Death, sounds like a jig.

I like the song Dance Of Death. The jig part is ridiculous but the rest of the song is great and I like the lyrics. I still think that song and Paschendale are the last two good long songs they did. Maybe I would add in When The Wild Wind Blows too.

I remember being down in Galway for my birthday when Dance of Death came out. I was having a mooch in Zhivago on Shop Street, and they put on what I thought was a sped-up ripoff of South of Heaven. Nope, it was Rainmaker!
Brought my haul to the counter, was mostly metal so your man asked was I buying the new one. And I says going off the track he just played, defo not.
Plot twist is Rainmaker and Montesegur are probably the only two listenable tracks on it. I've fully come round to the idea that it's their low point with Dickinson.
BNW is a banger, as is AMoLaD.
I know I liked Book of Souls at the time but I cannot remember a note of it now. Senjutsu was unbelievably boring and I've never returned to it since the first listen.
DoD was one of the first Maiden I got, so probably why I hold it in high regard, its in their top 5 for me. Paschendale easily the highlight, but Montsegur, Rainmaker, Journeyman, Face in the Sand are all brilliant
Still can't excuse the artwork though and Harris deserves a slap for signing off on that. Commissioning Dave Patchett for a piece and instead of something Cathedral-esque he went with the dancing baby from the 90s. No wonder Patchett refused credit

Came here to pretty much type this word for word.
AMOLAD onwards has seen some pretty weak points, must be said.
DOD top five?????? :o
I tried to give the 2000s stuff a go a few weeks ago, couldn't get into them at all, remember thinking the opening track on Dance of Death was very good but other than that they're all very by the numbers.
I honestly don't believe anyone, including the band, has ever made it to the end of the last few albums. I almost made it to the end of one song, but after the 94th repetition of the chorus which was the song title, whatever it was, repeated twelve times, I sent my ears to the crematorium to be reduced to ash.
I think I only finished The Book Of Souls once, that rock opera at the end is fucking ghastly. Not bad apart from that but the usual things (too long songs, Harris thinking bass solos are acceptable) kill it.
How long is Senjutso out now, 2/3 years? I bought it on release but still haven't listened to it properly. Sad when you consider they were once my favourite band - and the '80s albums are still my favourite metal albums.
This DOD being a top five is still blowing my mind. Which of these is sacrificed to accommodate DOD?
Iron Maiden, Killers, NOTB, Powerslave, Piece of Mind, Somewhere in Time, SSOASS?
Lunacy!
DOD in the top 5 is ludicrous, but at least we can all agree that Killers is their best album.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
DOD got me back into Maiden after giving up on them during the '90s, but no way is it top 5 material.
Neither is Killers I reckon, I'd have most of the Brucie '80s albums and the debut ahead of it. It's still a fantastic album, and was my first Maiden album to buy as a ladeen, but such is the quality of the '80s material that there are a few others above it.
Never cared much for the Dianno albums, my top 5 would be DOD and the four 80s Bruce albums
I'll leave the hall now :abbath:
Madness! DOD isn't even the best from the Post Reunion albums!!! ???
I haven't listened to Senjutsu (I just can't bring myself to do it) but DoD is probably their their worst record. And that's from someone who thinks the DiAnno albums sound like they were made by a pub band...
... guess I'll have Trev for company outside the hall :laugh:
Those Di'anno albums sound like that because, at that point, they WERE a band playing pubs, discos or likewise. Still prefer any of that over Sejustsu or DoD. 'Book of Souls' was the last one I liked despite the proggy tendencies.
The debut is so good. I think D'Ianno's vocals are perfect on it. They are mmore street level and tough than Bruce, but the music was raw too sob they fit perfectly. Badmotherfukkinass.
For me it's:
1. Piece of Mind
2. Powerslave
3. NOTB
4. SSOASS
5. DOD
And I'd put Brave New World at 6th. Probably is a sign of my age and when I got into metal (2001). You gotta live your truth, maaaaan.
Gonna throw on DOD now and dance and/or prance around the gym 🏋 🕺
Mine would be:
1. The Number Of The Beast
2. Powerslave
3. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
4. Iron Maiden
5. Brave New World
That's this week, I'd probably have a completely different top 5 next week. Or in 5 mins.
If we're counting live albums then obviously Live After Death goes straight to no. 1.
1) Live after Death
2) Powerslave
3) Somewhere in Time
4) Killers
5) Seventh Son
1. Somewhere In Time
2. The Number Of The Beast
3. Powerslave
4. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
5. Iron Maiden
Dear Father, it has been 6 months since my last confession. I prefer Maiden England to Live After Death
DOD in a maiden top five is shambolic
For me it would be
1 Somewhere In Time
2 Seventh Son
3 Iron Maiden
4 Brave New World
5 Killers
Would Somewhere In Time be considered their most aggressive?
My top 5 would be:
1. Piece of Mind
2. Beast
3. Powerslave
4. Iron Maiden
5. Seventh Son
But that can change depending on which of them I'm listening to at the time. I'm also a big fan of Somewhere Back in Time and always had a soft spot for No Prayer. For some reason I've never really clicked with Killers. Brave New World and A Matter of Life and Death are very good but way too long of course.
Throw me in with the loving DOD crowd. First Maiden album i bought at the time it came out, so i have a soft spot for it.
Rainmaker, Paschendale, DOD,Montségur, Journeyman are all bangers. Its the last Maiden album I think that in anyway justifies its run time.
I'm a big DOD man too, similar vintage to Pat - I bought it when it came out, saw them in The Point that year, was a big deal to me. I think it holds up, though it isn't as good as I thought it was then. I'll always love it.
I appreciate there's a bit of nostalgia in the mix for some of you but bottom line - no maiden album after 1988 should feature in a top five maiden list.
Anyone heading to the Eddfest show? Was just having a look at tickets and only had the option of buying two together

Absolutely, especially their 1990s output is mildly entertaining at best. Brave New world is a very good album and for me might be in top 7 or 8 . Final frontier isn't great either is Dance of death, book of souls and matter of life and death have some great songs. Senjutsu is poor bar Hell on Earth .
FWIW my top 5 are Iron Maiden, Somewhere in Time, Number of the beast, Seventh Son, Piece of Mind.
Regarding the "old stuff is so much better, new stuff is shit", I remember Harris saying something to the effect of of course they're not as good. Whenever you're hearing the old albums you're thinking back to when you were younger, the adventures you had, the mates you had, the girl you were seeing at the time, and he can't compete with memories.
Sometimes I think younger fans who consume the albums at once and are not blinded by nostalgia, have perhaps a more trusted view than the proper old school fans.
Regarding Edfest, I'd love to go and would have made it if it weren't for being older with family and other grown up commitments. The last time I saw them was at Belfast 2022 for the 13th time. And unless there's a Belfast gig again, it may be the last unfortunately
Well i don't know, my kid got into them and likes No prayer and Brave new world. Not much else and first 7 albums
Must be the only person who likes No Prayer for the Dying. An album full of B material.
Ehmmmm!
I like NPFTD... :-X
Yup, first two tracks are bangers when the rest is grand
Mother Russia is a great song from that album.
I had a ludicrous idea the other day. Iron Maiden have been known to pen songs based directly on books and films- The Fugitive being a particularly silly one. I thought, imagine if they wrote a song about The Bourne Identity. I actually went on to Chatgpt and had it pen me lyrics in the style of Iron Maiden about Jason Bourne. The first draft was too good, too poetic, so I prompted it to make them more literal. The results were very funny. That's my story, and this is the bit where it finishes. The end.
How about an iron maiden song based on Bambi or Police Academy?
Couldn't resist, here is the next opener for iron maidens next album
Verse 1
Sirens wail in the dead of night,
Misfits march under neon light,
Badges shining, but they don't obey,
Chaos rising in blue and grey.
Guns misfire and the captain screams,
Nothing here is as it seems,
From the streets to the academy halls,
Anarchy echoes through the walls.
Verse 2
Engines roar but they lose control,
Laughter burns through every role,
Rules are broken, lines erased,
Justice runs in a frantic chase.
From prank to riot, the madness grows,
Who's the hero? No one knows,
Yet in the storm, they stand somehow,
The worst of the worst... defending now!
Chorus
Ride out! Ride out! The sirens cry tonight!
Lawless legion, but they still fight!
Wild hearts in uniform they stand—
Police Academy, out of command!
Asked chatgpt to write me a Maiden song about poptarts:
"Pastry of the Damned"
(Galloping rhythm, soaring vocals, twin guitar energy)
[Intro]
Rising from the toaster's fire...
Sugared ghosts that never tire...
[Verse 1]
Midnight hunger calls my name,
From the kitchen, flames aflame,
Silver coffin, glowing red,
Feeds the living, wakes the dead.
Plastic wrapper torn away,
Ancient curse in frosting lay,
Strawberry blood, a sacred treat,
Temptation tastes so darkly sweet...
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it burn inside?
Saccharine you cannot hide...
[Chorus]
Pop-Tarts of the damned arise!
From the flames before your eyes!
Toasted fate you can't outrun,
Breakfast battle's just begun!
Bite the crust, embrace the sin,
Feel the sugar crawl within!
Pop-Tarts scream eternally—
Sweetened immortality!
[Verse 2]
Cinnamon whispers through the air,
Frosted secrets laid out bare,
Brown sugar shadows twist and creep,
In every bite, no restful sleep.
Chocolate lava, molten core,
Calling you forevermore,
Two by two they march in line,
Soldiers of the grand design...
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the crackle, hear the cry,
Golden edges testify...
[Chorus]
Pop-Tarts of the damned arise!
From the flames before your eyes!
Toasted fate you can't outrun,
Breakfast battle's just begun!
Bite the crust, embrace the sin,
Feel the sugar crawl within!
Pop-Tarts scream eternally—
Sweetened immortality!
[Bridge / Solo Section]
(Instrumental: harmonized guitars, blazing solo)
From the pantry to your soul,
They consume, they take control,
No escape from sugary doom,
Sealed within a foil tomb!
[Breakdown]
Do you dare... take a bite?
In the glow... of toaster light...
[Final Chorus]
Pop-Tarts of the damned arise!
Burning bright beneath dark skies!
Morning comes but you won't wake,
Caught within the pastry's wake!
Crumbs of fate fall endlessly,
Chains of glazed insanity!
Pop-Tarts rule eternally—
Masters of your destiny!
[Outro]
Ashes fall... the toaster fades...
Still their hunger never decays...
While we on the silly, have ye seen these, the lyrics are funny :)
