@@JimmyGrant74brother… they have already tried, written and performed EVERYTHING!! Why can’t people like you just let the GREATEST METAL BAND OF ALL TIME enjoy their golden years??? Maiden should play whatever they want
@@W13-i7q I love Maiden and they've been my favourite band for over 40 years but I am also frustrated by their total lack of experimentation. If you know anything about musical composition, and it sounds like you don't, you'll know what I mean.
Female fan since 1986 here. I didn't realise bands owe fans anything except a great show & I've seen this show in London 2023, Melbourne and Sydney 2024 & loved every second! Fantastic recovery for Nicko too! ❤
Nice melodies indeed, but personally I'm not a fan of the guitar and vocals doing the same melody simultanously along with each other. It's too much and sounds kind of cheezy, not necessary for the song. They started doing that thing alot since The Book Of Souls record. What's your opinion on this?
@@faaip For me it's The Parchment very closely followed by Senjutsu, Stratego, Writing on the Wall and Hell on Earth in no particular order. I rate The Time Machine as easily the weakest on the album for me. As an Iron Maiden album it probably sits just outside my top 5 from them.
Maybe “Brave New World “ is the last Iron Maiden album I really like , from then to now they recorded irrelevant and boring albums, probably they lost inspiration, they don’t need to make too freaking long songs , I wish they come back to Heavy Metal like they used to be in the 80s
This song is a hymn to our love. When I first saw my girlfriend, this was the song playing in my headphones. Later, when we were in a relationship, she found out how important this song was for me. Now, this is our favorite song. Hell On earth 😅❤
This or Death of the celts is probably my favorite from Senjutsu, an album I really like. Saw them in Bergen, Norway last year, and the Senjutsu songs blended really well in with the other songs in the setlist
To me this song was the highlight of the night. It was just ripe for a great rendition from the guys. I was at night 2, but this performance was every bit as good.
Crowd actually did a decent job at keeping tempo for a bit with the claps at the beginning 😂 seeing them in Vegas on Saturday and I can’t fucking wait!! IRON FUCKIN MAIDEN
same...the traveler has shared many a great Maiden video with us. I want to see the strings on Dave's guitar shaking its so close. Thank you! UP THE IRONS 🤘
What a great video, if anyone is interested to go to the Sydney show this coming Thursday I have a standing ticket up for sale at face value, I did my back in and won’t be able to make it. Let me know if you’re interested?
Saw them 2023 in Hannover, Germany. It was a bit hot, after this tune. 😂 This video is a bit strange. I thought, where the f is Dave?! In 5:36 he came in. Puuh, he is not at home. Like Kevin. 😗🎶
don't get your hopes up for any further recovery ... what came back the first 3 months, after the stroke is what'll ever do.. It's all downhill from here due to age ... Can't even hear most of his right hand side crashes ... He can't even do a drum roll or the (already simple) Maiden fills ... He should have made the right decision and retired gracefully, not wait and see if the band would have him... They love him too much and I'm sure they wouldn't tell him to leave ... Which would be the right thing to do.. now they'll only play what Nicko still (somewhat) can ... (Depriving fans from possibly hearing fast paced favorites)
@@ippopaidi You're being a little bit hard on Nikko. God willing, he'll return 100%. He's a fighter for sure and he said he was back to like 80% I believe. He said there was one song he could no longer play. Godspeed Nikki
@@Cognitively_m_paired_4_Kamala being a drummer I agree 100% i love nicko he's my favorite drummer and always will be I truly hope he gets better and as sad as it is i cant see him leaving wouldn't be able to bear that, ik it will happen soon obviously but at least he isn't off tempo as much, has a beat as best as he can do. I love Nikco and will always support him he's keeping tempo and beat and honestly thats all that really matters for drummers, yeah u can be flashy and have amazing fills (ofc he has had that thats why he my fav and he's just someone to look up to anyway, loved him from a young age) but just praying he gets better even if not it will still be epic asf to see him and the rest of the guys playing live being in there 60s and 70s!! Sorry for the paragraph lol js anything nicko ill write an essay lol.
Respect outwins performance for me sometimes. I get people pay their money and want to hear him drum well. Realistically he isn't going to be anywhere near what he was at his age. I mean I'm 34 and couldn't even do half that or last for 3 songs. He's a legend & love him for that
@@RyanTheDrummer-so7wn No need to apologize. I get the "paragraph" charge often especially when I'm riled up.

God bless you Nikko, in Iron Maiden, retirement, the afterlife or the next life. Bring the the noise, mate. Much love and respect from the US
Was at this concert and although I love iron maiden I gotta be honest there new stuff doesn’t come close to being as good as the old stuff. As soon as a classic song was played the crowd erupted!! Was a totally different vibe. Would have preferred a set like the somewhere back in time tour they did.
@@IanPotts-lv6os - no. I don't think that I will. People have a right to express an opinion that differs from yours.

None of this is even AIMED at YOU. 🙄
I couldn't agree more. Absolutely. I used to be such a huge Maiden fan in the 80's and early 90's. Count me as one of those people who can't stand it when they write songs like this. Ever since Janick Gers joined, there have to have been like 20 or 30 songs that sound like this. This is NOT (at all) what Maiden used to be. I wish that when Adrian Smith returned, they thanked Janick and sent him on his way. He's the sloppiest by far of the 3 guitarists. Speaking of which... you don't even NEED 3 guitars. It buries Steve Harris' bass in the mix. They give Adrian (who is their best guitarist)'s solos to Janick live - and he butchers the shit out of them. God... I cannot STAND him being in this band. It's just not the same. Getting back to the tempo and feel of this song... It bores me to tears. These songs like this one that they write all the time now all feel like I'm at a medieval banquet and people in puffy shirts are prancing around in circles like imbeciles. With a court jester named Janick acting a fool out in the middle of the stage.
Never got the attraction. Phony cartoons? Ancient wizards? Nah. Pass. Not interested in Dungeons and Dragons, I don’t even know what that is, I don’t play fantasy anything. No guitar heroes. Nah. No goats or animals involved.

@@IanPotts-lv6os - why does my opinion hurt your feelings? I was a fan of this band since their BEGINNING. I loved them as a kid throughout the 80's and into the early 90's. They evolved - but in a boring way (in my opinion). I am nowhere near as entertained. If you disagree, I respect it - but, how about telling me WHY you like the 30+ songs from the past few albums that all sound like this one?
It's obvious that you are not musician. You need 3 guitars if you want to play songs like "Caught Somewhere in time", "Rime of the ancient mariner", "The Trooper", where there are 3 guitars doing different harmonies beetween them like original recordings. "This is NOT (at all) what Maiden used to be." All things changes, we are in 2024, not 80's.

Maiden were awesome. Probably the best sound mix I've ever heard at a live gig, it was incredible and an amazing performance. The crowd was lame as though. Not the real fans who pushed to the front and went for it, they owned it. But I was at the back of the floor, and just loving it and taking it in and observing, and I reckon 80% of the crowd had no clue, they knew none of the words, no clue when to chant or sing along, it seemed like they didn't even know any of the songs. Weird as. I reckon most of the people were just ticking the box, or clueless. (I get that there were people in seats up higher with kids and stuff just chilling), but the floor? There was at least 20 scumbag losers just lying on the floor around the bar area, whinging about random shite, and people pushing through the crowd like they were getting a train, going in and out, like they had no idea that probably the greatest band ever, in the history of music, were actually playing, right there, it was so weird. I saw them on the Fear of The Dark tour at shitty Festival Hall in '92 (deep in a recession when $ was tight), and I swear everyone in that building sang every word, to every song, and was glued to their performance for every second, because they knew how cool it was. Maiden were awesome and I had a great time, but as the tour goes on and people see footage from North and especially South America, it may become apparent that Melbourne and possibly Australia as a whole, is an irrelevant self-entitled shi..hole. But Maiden were astounding and their show was cool as, I'm truly honoured to have seen it 😊
On the Book of Souls tour I was at the back on the floor. I didn't have your experience but I know what you mean, people standing around, while I am rocking out, air guitaring, the lot. I couldn't be stuffed being sardined at the front these days especially since I like a bit of room. I'll be at both Sydney shows on the floor rocking out like my old self!
@@vikingoverlord857 They were good mate. I liked the second show better, probably because I didn't work that day, but both nights were good. I felt like the crowd really got into it, especially for songs like Fear of the Dark, Iron Maiden, Wasted Years, etc. I ended up being sardined at the front about 20m from stage, but that was alright. People tend to leave you alone when you rock out like a mad man and give you your room! This song is a highlight for me though, and I have a newfound respect for Death of the Celts after admiring the musicianship that went on. We're really lucky to have seen them so often in the last 15 years after not seeing them at all for the previous two decades or so.
@@stormster6644 That's awesome to hear! Good to see Sydney got the job done 😀 Indeed, when you are clearly into it people leave you alone, as they should. Nobody came near me lol. And I took my youngest and he freakin' loved it. Maiden had one of the best sound mixes I've ever heard, it was amazing, and they were amazing. My only regret is not going to see so many other tours, but that's life, and I saw them again ☺ I familiarised myself with the new songs in the weeks leading up to the gig, and they were super cool songs they chose. Senjutsu is solid as, amazing really. I like tonnes of different music, and heaps of heavy stuff, but the gig the other night reminded me that Iron Maiden are probably the best band ever to exist, and they've always been there for me, and I feel privileged to have seen them again 🙂
@@Addicted-2-Guitars - agreed. This song SUCKS. I hate that they now write a million songs like this every album. Boring. Repetitive. Same old song that they have tried to sell us a million times over the last few/several albums.
@@PetterDragland - so, then he should retire. Is he going to eventually do that from a wheel chair or hospital bed? Why does the truth hurt your feelings?
@@BanjoSick - I agree 100%. Politely thank Nicko for years of good service, wish him well, and replace him with someone who can keep up. And, while they're at it... for the love of GOD --- kick Janick Gers to the curb. He should have been thanked for filling in and handed his walking papers the second that Adrian Smith came back. Good GOD, he sucks. 🙄
As a Maiden fan of 35 years, I think this is one of their best tracks. This performance is spectacular.

For me it's The Parchment very closely followed by Senjutsu, Stratego, Writing on the Wall and Hell on Earth in no particular order.
I rate The Time Machine as easily the weakest on the album for me.
As an Iron Maiden album it probably sits just outside my top 5 from them.
Woah! Senjutsu is to me the weakest album of their career with no hesitation, and I find The Parchment is the most boring song on earth.

But I was at the back of the floor, and just loving it and taking it in and observing, and I reckon 80% of the crowd had no clue, they knew none of the words, no clue when to chant or sing along, it seemed like they didn't even know any of the songs. Weird as. I reckon most of the people were just ticking the box, or clueless. (I get that there were people in seats up higher with kids and stuff just chilling), but the floor? There was at least 20 scumbag losers just lying on the floor around the bar area, whinging about random shite, and people pushing through the crowd like they were getting a train, going in and out, like they had no idea that probably the greatest band ever, in the history of music, were actually playing, right there, it was so weird. I saw them on the Fear of The Dark tour at shitty Festival Hall in '92 (deep in a recession when $ was tight), and I swear everyone in that building sang every word, to every song, and was glued to their performance for every second, because they knew how cool it was. Maiden were awesome and I had a great time, but as the tour goes on and people see footage from North and especially South America, it may become apparent that Melbourne and possibly Australia as a whole, is an irrelevant self-entitled shi..hole. But Maiden were astounding and their show was cool as, I'm truly honoured to have seen it 😊
On the Book of Souls tour I was at the back on the floor. I didn't have your experience but I know what you mean, people standing around, while I am rocking out, air guitaring, the lot. I couldn't be stuffed being sardined at the front these days especially since I like a bit of room. I'll be at both Sydney shows on the floor rocking out like my old self!
@@stormster6644 You won't be disappointed, they were amazing! Hopefully the Sydney crowd has a bit of enthusiasm!
@@vikingoverlord857 They were good mate. I liked the second show better, probably because I didn't work that day, but both nights were good. I felt like the crowd really got into it, especially for songs like Fear of the Dark, Iron Maiden, Wasted Years, etc. I ended up being sardined at the front about 20m from stage, but that was alright. People tend to leave you alone when you rock out like a mad man and give you your room! This song is a highlight for me though, and I have a newfound respect for Death of the Celts after admiring the musicianship that went on. We're really lucky to have seen them so often in the last 15 years after not seeing them at all for the previous two decades or so.
@@stormster6644 That's awesome to hear! Good to see Sydney got the job done 😀 Indeed, when you are clearly into it people leave you alone, as they should. Nobody came near me lol. And I took my youngest and he freakin' loved it. Maiden had one of the best sound mixes I've ever heard, it was amazing, and they were amazing. My only regret is not going to see so many other tours, but that's life, and I saw them again ☺ I familiarised myself with the new songs in the weeks leading up to the gig, and they were super cool songs they chose. Senjutsu is solid as, amazing really. I like tonnes of different music, and heaps of heavy stuff, but the gig the other night reminded me that Iron Maiden are probably the best band ever to exist, and they've always been there for me, and I feel privileged to have seen them again 🙂
Give up the boring intros and outros on every single song. Maiden were untouchable when they kept it to 5 minutes now they are boring as f&^%
Zzzzzz Zzzzzzz
@@Addicted-2-Guitars - agreed. This song SUCKS. I hate that they now write a million songs like this every album. Boring. Repetitive. Same old song that they have tried to sell us a million times over the last few/several albums.
Man, Nicko needs a boot, he Bidens the whole band.
The mazn has had a stroke
@@PetterDragland
People like the one you're replying to are just assholes. Godspeed Nikko
@@PetterDragland - Why does the truth hurt your feelings?
@@PetterDragland - so, then he should retire. Is he going to eventually do that from a wheel chair or hospital bed? Why does the truth hurt your feelings?
@@BanjoSick - I agree 100%. Politely thank Nicko for years of good service, wish him well, and replace him with someone who can keep up. And, while they're at it... for the love of GOD --- kick Janick Gers to the curb. He should have been thanked for filling in and handed his walking papers the second that Adrian Smith came back. Good GOD, he sucks. 🙄
So boring...
I guess you need to have a soul to enjoy it
@@juliankitts544 a bored soul of a retired man
Your entire life is boring
@@stefanosntoumas4321just a miserable old bastard then……sad.
