Nothing to do with Blaze Bailey being on the vocals - there were too many 'new' songs, and the theatrics of old were missing
This tour, being almost 20 years later, will almost certainly have more 'new' songs (that I will not know), I have no wish to see Jannick Gers doing his flashy guitar movements and I am really not impressed with the current incarnation of Eddie! |
I'd like to see them but i too feel they play too much new material. That wasn't a problem when the songs were around the 5 minute mark but i can't get excited by 13 min epics with ultra repetitive chorus lines.
Fear of the Dark is bad enough. Do they still play
Running Free? That's one shite song.
My first ever gig was Maiden at Donington, i then saw them again later in the year on the 7th Son tour. I also saw them support
No Prayer for the Dying at Preston Guildhall and Donington again for
Fear of the Dark. Plus with Blaze at Manchester Apollo on the X Factour. I have seen them two other times as well including supporting
Brave New World and finally supporting
Dance of Death.
