That would definitely be the concert tour of the century! However, both bands need to put out killer new material (no, I am not knocking Nostradamus or AMOLAD or AOR). I just think they'll need some fresh, new material that hits it big for that type of a tour to even be considered as a reality.

I'm not a huge Blaze fan, although they did release a few cracking songs during hsi stint in Maiden.
However had Bruce not left, there is no way they would be where they are now. He needed the break,as they were getting stale.
Since the reunion (along with Adrian, who is also a pivotal point in Maiden), their standard of music is amazing.

If you listen to Maiden's Rock In Rio CD (or watch the DVD of it), stuff like The Clansman and The Sign Of The Cross? It literally seems tailor-made for Bruce's voice. And I definitely agree that Maiden NEVER should've hired Blaze Bailey in the first place. Better to have taken a sabbatical instead or hire someone else.

Saw Maiden open for Priest in 82 in Detroit.
I wish Maiden's newer stuff was still fast though=( |

It was indeed excellent!!! Better than Donnington '92
The stage set up was pretty much the same as that from the world slavery tour which i missed,
so that's that demon put to bed.
The Trooper, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Iron Maiden, and Powerslave were all awesome!!!

| Saw Maiden on the 11th. They were fantastic!! Chicago was a bit brutal but we made it off the floor alive. The guys were perfect and are just so professional. My son absolutely loved it too. They are so full of energy. Fear of the Dark is such a great song, it always makes me laugh. |

| I love Maiden, I am the same as a lot of Australian fans here, I can't believe we had Maiden and are now getting Priest in the same year! What a great year! |

| Saw Iron Maiden two weeks ago and I'm still riding on a high! Geez! these guys still put out like they did in the early eighties!!! It was well worth the money for the tickets and the band still cares enough about the fans to really go all out to put on an absolutely fantastic show. Well done!!!! |

| Saw Maiden Tuesday night, and they were as phenomenal as phenomenal can possibly. Bruce's vocals were spot on, and he did a shitload of fan interaction. Up the Irons! |
|
Bruce wouldn't diss Rob (given the fact the two are friends). He probably made a joke and it was taken out of context. And Maiden totally kicks fucking ass!
