TOPIC: NOSTRADAMUS EVERYDAY!

[metalmaz] Saturday, May 08, 2010 12:51:04 PM

When I saw Maiden on the AMOLAD tour, I was really into the album and I thought it was one of the best albums they had ever released. But I thought it was a HUGE HUGE mistake to play it all live and so did most of the audience. Over the last 12 months or so I have changed my mind about AMOLAD album.There are some great song on it, but there are also some that bore me rigid and if my house was on fire, it would not be an album I'd snatch up before I got out. You are quite right about Maiden milking their past with The Early Years and Somewhere Back In Time tours - both of which were brilliant. Of course Priest have done/will do the same and that is what most people want to see.

What are you disagreeing with, that they're flogging British Steel because there's nothing new to promote or a Nostradamus tour would have been a failure?

Of course AMOLAD tour was a snorefest, the albums a shocker, really bad. I never saw them on the tour but if I was in the crowd and they spent 75 minutes of two hour show playing that I'd be pretty pissed off. I cant believe with their back catalogue of good songs they would even think of playing that in it's entirety. It's delusional.

If and when Maiden do their 30th anniversary Number Of The Beast Tour I will bag that as well if they milk it for as long as Priest have milked British Steel. And I'm sure they will by the way. Especially if Final Frontier is as crap as it looks like it's going to be.

Oh, I completely disagree. Granted, Nostra would have had a limited audience and I don't think they could have pulled off a full tour but a few choice locations and I (and many) would have taken a plane to get there. What do you have to say about that snorefest that was the penultimate Maiden tour? It SUCKED!! Bruce himself even commented in many an interview how off-put he was at the poor reception of AMOLAD. What do they do? Follow up with a nostalgia tour with Somewhere in Time. Try to call back their fan-base. IMO, a way to excuse themselves from a sad album and sad tour.

Priest with BS just knocked them off the shelf even if Halford doesn't know how to fly a plane.

C'mon Vail, eveyone knows the reason they didn't tour Snotradamus is because if they had hardly anyone would have gone to see it. As far as BS goes, theyre flogging that for all it's worth because they haven't come up with any decent new material. Keeping metal alive is not the motive, they're trying to squeeze every last cent out of it before they have to put Halford in a wheelchair.

Oh, come on Hellrider! Of course they're keeping the metal alive!!! Otherwise they wouldn't have celebrated British Steel's 30th anniversary and toured the US and Canada, much less play it in its entirety. They could've easily done the same with all of Nostra. But did they? No!! They are keeping the faith by recognizing that creating Heavy Metal is what propelled them to fame in the first place. Besides, they still have many more years ahead of them and they'll create a Heavy Metal masterpiece that will surely RIP OUR FACES OFF!!!!!
