Iron Maiden announced World Tour 2008

Last year's tour wasn't that good cuz they played a lot of new songs and a few classics. Now this is a dream come true. I will definately be there:kickass:
 
lawl, The show in London was awesome, they played the whole new album, and then a fuckload of older songs. Fear of the Dark, The Evil That Men Do = win live.
 
It's hard to remember, but I do remember him saying "That's the last time we will ever play the AMOLAD album in it's entirety" and then the show went on for a lot longer. Oh I remember they played '2 Minutes To Midnight' and 'Hallow Be Thy Name'.
 
Rod Smallwood, Iron Maiden's Manager, further commented; "Following Bruce's various hints from on stage this last year about our plans for 2008 ("We are taking some time off to build some pyramids!"), fans have been pestering me for details of the tour and especially asking which songs from that era will be played. That may be as easy as a run in the hills but we will keep our aces close to our chest on this issue. I know it would only take a couple of minutes but at this stage of planning, I'd have to be clairvoyant to know what they will do. I'm sure though it will be no revelation for you that we intend to make up for those wasted years by visiting a large number of hallowed metal venues around the world. Historically 'Powerslave' was an incredibly important album for the band and it would be madness if we didn't give the fans a taste of the full on Iron Maiden show from that time. With our jumbo there really is no rime nor reason why the band cannot now visit fans almost everywhere as many have been real troopers to have waited this long. Heaven only knows what the band will choose but if l could and did tell you now l would have to shoot you! You'll all have to be patient and see. But it will be spectacular. No fear!!"


Which means the setlist will be:

Run to the Hills
Aces High
Two Minutes to Midnight
The Clairvoyant
Revelations
Wasted Years
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Powerslave
Can I Play With Madness?
Iron Maiden
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The Trooper
Heaven Can Wait
Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Fear of the Dark

Well in MTL that was it...The whole new album and those four songs: Fear of the dark, 2 min.,hallowed and the evil that men do
 
ugh! Maiden is in the same style popular around here as mainstream-emo bands are in the States! Its like a bad trend...their bandshirts are as common as H&M clothes. When you ask someone how long theyve been listening theyre like "i just wear the shirt" And those who really do are a minor percentage.

Who gives a fuck... people are allowed to wear shirts man, maybe they just like the album art. I mean it's kind of stupid to wear a shirt of something you don't like but seriously, you young kids need to stop whining that bands (or things associated with those bands) you like are popular with people that you don't like/aren't the same as you.

Iron Maiden shirts are so popular in Finland that it's actually really amusing. My first memory of Iron Maiden shirt is when I was 10 and one of my class mates wear only Iron Maiden shirts, after that I don't think there has been day I haven't seen some one wearing Maiden shirt (that would be about 20 years). My hubby and I have this joke when we go to some show, do we put Iron Maiden shirt or do we want to be different and put shirt of the band which we are going to see.

I don't mind people to wear their shirts even if they don't listen it. But it's kind of amusing...My 4-year old daughter asked one day if she could get Maiden short, because some kids in her day care has Maiden shirts. Oh well, at least she knew that it is the band.
