True, but the big difference here is that Bruce got it taken care of right away. Dio didn't get himself checked out even though he had been in pain for a while because he wanted to finish the tour he was on. Dio was suffering with his cancer for a lot longer than we knew at the time it was announced. That's why everyone thought he would be fine. The fans were never told how serious it was until after he died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, cancer doesn't really care much about that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's nice to see all the early Maiden comments tooYes it's quite nice, but I'm cringing looking back a few years ago (2011 I think) and seeing my opinion of Blaze Bayley era Maiden. "The Angel And The Gambler is good song off of Virtual XI" What was I thinking?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Angel And The Gambler is good song off of Virtual XI" What was I thinking?! There are a couple of good songs on that album. Lightning Strikes Twice and When Two Worlds Collide are the best ones. Always wanted to hear Bruce sing those two. If he did that would take the songs from good to great. When Bruce is involved, things are always made better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Case Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I like Futureal and The Clansman from Virtual XI. X-Factor starts strong but fades after a few songs. Favorite Blaze era song is probably Man On The Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite Blaze era song is probably Man On The Edge. I always thought The X-Factor could have been one of their better albums if Bruce sang on it. Most of the songs are pretty strong and Blayze does a solid job but Bruce would've taken those songs to a different level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite Blaze era song is probably Man On The Edge.Futureal and The Clansman I really like. No wonder why they were only two songs I can remember from Virtual XI plus The Angel And The Gambler. The X Factor doesn't fair much better in my memory department. The first 3 songs on that album are great (Man On The Edge being my favorite Blaze era song as well), the rest I can't even recollect.

Rod in Toronto Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Angel and The Gambler is probably The song with a world record of The most times a chorus is repeated in a song. "Don't you think I'm a saviour...don't you think I can Save your life". I saw Maiden livre in 1996 with Blaze, and while he was very energetic, he couldn't sing to Save his life. I don't know what Steve was thinking by hiring this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy Oak Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Blaze could sing well enough for albums but yeah, live , he was horrible. My favorite Blaze era songs are When Two Worlds Collide, The Educated Fool, Judgement of Heaven and The Aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that tour! Vinnie Vincent Invasion opened up! I remember watching Nico's drum solo. He was on a riser that went up to the fuckking sky.

If you caught one, you're lucky because it's not something that typically happens at any Maiden show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Bumping this thread because the tour starts next week. I won't be seeing them but since i'm a setlist junkie, I will be interested in what they play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you are standing a yard to 2 yards behind him. He may just have to tell you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Damn wish I was working in Fort Lauderdale today IRON MAIDEN's new-and-improved branded private tour plane will land at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Friday (February 19).Touchdown is expected at 3:15 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 There's been some pictures online of Maiden's new plane for this tour. I know nothing about flying and the regulations involved but I'm surprised it's legal for something that big and carrying that much cargo and crew to be in the air lol.

I dont think they could clear the very stringent FAA regulations otherwise. Bruce has said that he cant even fly for 12 hours after a gig since they consider it work hours amd he has to have that rest time before he can fly again.
