What a world we live in. Fans always speculate about setlists for tours these days, with the secrets revealed via the internet once the opening night is done. Iron Maiden's new tour begins tonight, now, and the band's Facebook is revealing the setlist as it's played track by track in Slovenia.
What's mad is that I'm finding this ridiculously exciting.

This is mad. I'm listening to a silent concert. Maiden are playing Alexander the Great, an epic track from 1986, live for the first time ever right now in Slovenia. I'm watching this week's Have I Got News For You, but singing along in my head.

My WORD that was a nervous hour hoping Wasted Years hadn't been left out of the setlist but boom! There it is in the encore. Expected. WHAT a setlist that is. This is going to be a killer tour.

This is like when Shockprowl posts about chess championships, isn't it.

Long time ago, I pre-ordered a re-issue of The Wildhearts PHUQ, and today, finally, long-forgotten, it arrived!
Amazing album, the new track order rocks, and it holds up as well as it did in '95. So happy with this. Why they weren't the biggest band in Britain at the time I'll never know.

So, Elton John last night. Good stuff. I think if that is his last UK show, he can be happy to go out on that.

The Almighty did a three date reunion tour last month, which I didn't know about until after it had happened. Today I see they enjoyed it so much they've announced three more dates for next November, no where near me, but three more for November 2025 including one right on my doorstep. So yay! Almighty live for Pinwig in, er, just under two years time!
Therefore this morning we are Powertrippin'

Very tempted by next years Nottingham show, but I think it sold out? Remind me to check when Christmas is done. Another one of those 'I liked 'em in the day, but never seen live' bands.

I saw them live any opportunity. Loved them. They are part of the big four for me in the early 90s. Thunder, Wildhearts, Little Angels and the Almighty.

For me it would have been... The Wildhearts, Therapy?, Terrorvision and... probably that Powertrippin'/Crank era Almighty.
Apes, Pigs and Spacemen were up there, but never that popular with anyone else. I think I adopted Warrior Soul as a British band by then too...

The 90's were all about quality beep beep dance tunes.

Shush you.
Good quality synth music, yes. Beep beep tunes, no.

I think it depends on the beep.

Tomorrow I think I need TFTM as an antidote to the Blandness of the Beasts.

I see, I see. I could go with that, but without the vocals. They make it sound too much like Black Box. It's like pre-Trance.
