No, borderline, no.

Meh.

It’s pretty telling that none of those songs have been on the Maiden setlist for almost a decade.

It’s sad for Blaze, but Maiden hit a definite low point that included the 2 albums he recorded with them.

The recent return to form, starting with Brave New World, has been awesome and outshines anything that they produced during Blaze’s tenure (and immediately prior: Fear of the Dark and No Prayer for the Dying). It’s understandable that most people harken back to the glory days (everything up to and including Seventh Son), but IMHO the last 3 albums deserve much more respect than they generally get.

My friend Keith has asked me to ask if they’ll be playing selections from the Blaze Bayley era?

Nope.

Can’t think of anything from those albums that anyone wants to listen to, to tell you the truth.

+1

Surely the singer sounds like Bruce anyway. As an aside Flight 666 is the best Blu Ray I have purchased in a while.

Oh crap. Good work clashing with the Brumbies’ first home game!

Run to the hills!

Unfortunately no, PBO. But they will be in Sydney.

Oh well, nuts to that. I would only see them for shits and giggles anyway. Friday night should be great though. I really like the Basement, it brings back memories of when i was 16 sneaking into pubs with a firecracker permit as ID, my feet stuck to the floor then as they do now. Ahhh memories.
