Zint Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hmm, I can't seem to find it either. I wonder if they did away with the online memberships? I'll poke around, see if I can find any info.Thanks...appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Okay, I can confirm there are no online-only memberships any longer. They've decided to cut the online memberships to go along with their paperless ticket initiative; too many scalpers were joining the IMOC just to get presale codes. I don't see how this will make much of a difference to be honest, the scalpers have their ways around the paperless system, and they'll still be ahead even paying $40 for a FC membership Sorry about the misinformation.

Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I wonder if Alice will be doing a full set??Probably not, he did an hour last year at the handful of European gigs he opened. I wish they could start it a bit earlier so he could do his full set, because I usually end up complainign about his set when it's abbreviated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Iron Maiden Plans "The Least Of The Beast" 2013 Tour; Will Play All Songs People Hate"The greatest band in the known universe is about to reinvent the idea of a tour. After Iron Maiden concludes their highly awaited “Maiden England 2012 Tour” they plan to go back out on the road and play the worst songs from their nearly 35 year catalogue. According to singer Bruce Dickinson, “Iron Maiden has always been on the cutting edge of heavy metal. What is more cutting edge then making people pay 85 dollars to see a bunch of songs that they can’t stand?!?”Maiden plans to dust off some of the most cringe inducing songs from their catalog including Weekend Warrior, Holy Smoke, Chains of Misery, 2 AM, The Apparition and Blood On The World’s Hands. They plan to open with Hooks in You, a song so bad that it has been linked to the self-immolation of 12 monks over the past 5 years. In the hopes to incite the audience into riot-like fits of rage they plan on playing Sheriff of Huddersfield, Roll Over Vic Vella and Nodding Donkey Blues, three b-sides they have never bothered to play live before. They plan on closing the set with Bring Your Daughter…To The Slaughter, the song that won them the Razzie for Worst Song from a Movie in 1989 (from A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 5).In keeping with their more “progressive” recent style of song writing, they plan to keep every song to a minimum of eight minutes long. Instead of adding intricate soloing or creating a novel new arrangement, they will simply repeat the same chorus over and over for five additional minutes per song. If the audience has not ingested full vats of cyanide laced Kool-Aid by the middle of the show, the 19-minute version of The Angel and The Gambler should push them over the edge.What could possibly top that setlist? How about an encore where they play the entire new Final Frontier album. Twice. Along with a 12-minute Bruce Dickinson monologue about the joys of flying backed by Janick Gers playing harmonica. It should be a night few will soon forget.The band plans on releasing a Least of The Beast album featuring their worst songs in tandem with the tour. They also will be releasing six new DVDs in the next year, including Bus 666 disc detailing the bands trip through Central Florida on a Greyhound Bus back in 1981 and Meal 666, where the audience can have the rare treat of watching Bruce Dickinson eat a steak dinner. Nap 666, featuring Dave Murray sleeping for two hours, is scheduled for release in 2014."http://tyrannyoftradition.com/2012/02/22/iron-maiden-plans-the-least-of-the-beast-2013-tour-will-play-all-songs-people-hate/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Devil Hill Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I really like No Prayer and Fear of the Dark. Only a small handful of songs altogether from the era I dislike, although the production is pretty awful. I wonder if they'll tour it, though. This era and the Blaze era are rather unpopular (unfortunately since I love the Blaze era). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This era and the Blaze era are rather unpopular (unfortunately since I love the Blaze era).I imagine they'll do one to fit in with the Donnington 1992 DVD release (whenever they do that) and probably tour for the whole 90's period alongside that.Speaking of Blaze, he has a new solo album out soon, if his other ones are anything to go by, it should be awesome!

Powerage5 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) How many official ones are there?? Live At The Rainbow (Included on The Early Days)Behind The Iron Curtain (Included on Live After Death DVD)Live After DeathMaiden England (No DVD release yet)Live At Donington '92 (No DVD release yet)Raising HellRock In RioDeath On The RoadFlight 666En Vivo!These are only the live videos, there were others that were promo video compilations, etc. There were/are also DVD's planned for the Early Days and A Matter Of Life And Death tours. The Early Days DVD would assumedly be the Ullevi Stadium gig (There's already a really nice proshot of this circulating, it was broadcast live on TV), and the AMOLAD video will be Donington '07. The Early Days DVD was "announced" at the end of Death On The Road; the end of the documentary had a text frame that said "If you missed Iron Maiden on the road this Summer, you'll just have to wait for the next DVD" (Paraphrased). The Donington '07 DVD may very well have been scrapped; it was one of the loosest shows since Bruce and Adrian rejoined, with all sorts of technical issues, performance issues, and crowd issues (The band got pelted with eggs at the beginning of the show). Additionally, they only did half of AMOLAD live on the 2007 leg, and a lot of people have expressed disinterest in an AMOLAD DVD unless it contains the full album live.
