Iron Fuckin Maiden

[CannibalClown]

I'm seeing them June 25th 2005(Paris), what are they like live?

 

[no country for old wainds]

Entertaining, I should imagine.

 

[leprosy]

awesome

 

[DE]

fun and happy

 

[Arrakis]

Maiden rule live

 

[DE]

Maiden rule live

death to false metal!!

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Saw them last year, but mostly for sentimental reasons. They still got some energy stored up in those rattly ol' bones of theirs, although they didn't quite match up to how they were a decade ago.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

What the fuck are you doing in Paris, kid?

Anyway, you oughta enjoy them, they're a great live act. The setlist will probably be pretty standard, with one or two surprises (which are part of the standard, now that I think about it), but standard Maiden is pretty fucken amazing. And keep an ear out for Bruce's rants–if you can understand them, they're hilarious.

22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE!

If I type it in all caps enough times, Steve Harris will notice.

22 ACACIA AVENUE! 22 ACACIA AVENUE!

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Maiden kicks ass live.

 

[Cythraul]

fun and happy

Maiden is the only metal band that can look happy and smile on stage and in photos and still kick ass.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

22 ACACIA AVENUE, DAMNIT.

Best Maiden song ever.

Children of the Damned, Prowler, and PHANTOM OF THE FUCKEN OPERA would also be the awesome.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Also, please:

Purgatory
Children of the Damned
Prowler
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Sanctuary!!!
Phantom. of. the. fucken. Opera

What I really don't need to hear again:

Running Free (12-minute audience interaction version)
Run to the Hills
The Number of the Beast

So, so true. When was the last time they played Prowler live? That song is so much better than a lot of their fan-favorite mainstays, like the three you mentioned and others like Heaven Can Wait(I hate that chorus).

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Also, please:

Purgatory
Children of the Damned
Prowler
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Sanctuary!!!
Phantom. of. the. fucken. Opera

Fuck the fuck yeah. Especially the first and last ones.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Twilight Zone, too.

 

[Erik]

Twilight Zone, yes, very much so

EDIT: "Heaven Can Wait"... Replace with "Stranger in a Strange Land" please

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

How about throwing in "Moonchild" or "Only the Good Die Young"?

 

[opethmaniac]

I saw them live 2 years ago and i will this summer, at Paris too...can't wait btw..but they were amazing, really...you shouldn't be disappointed...
+ it seems that megadeth is gonna be the guest !!

 

[Erik]

FUCK. Megadeth instead of Murderdolls (who opened when I played, fucken WORST. BAND. EVER)? Yes, please.

 

[opethmaniac]

can't remember the last time i saw as many fingers up than when muderdolls played before Maiden at Paris...16000 people=32000 fingers up...
