NorthernSoul52 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Forgive the double post but on a more serious note... Tenacious D? Wrap up a European jaunt at Hellfest the weekend before. Don't look to have ever played Glastonbury. The caveat is their limited UK festival record - only a handful of dates ever played over here as such. But they'd be an excellent Saturday afternoon booking, particularly with Guns 'n' Roses on the Pyramid. Not exactly forward thinking, but bang 'em fourth or fifth down the Pyramid or third on the Other that day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualia Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Fever333 the most realistic thing I'd be into I think, since Slipknot seem out. Would love foxtails to make the trip over from the US though on a post-hardcore tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambooShanks Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) It's probably very unlikely, but I would be a very happy man if Carpenter Brut made an appearance. A perfect mix of 80's sleaze synths with a nice metal edge. Would go down wonderfully on the Hell stage Edited February 14, 2023 by BambooShanks edit cos the original video had boobs in it. boobs! in a youtube video! shocking scenes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Love a bit of heavy metal but mainly the 70s stuff. This classic, the first sabbath album, was released around this time of the year 53 years ago. I couldn’t stop listening to it back then, still give it an airing regularly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 The Hellfest line up is epic in both depth and breadth, so surely there can be some overlap here. I’d really like to see The Cult at the farm - they have enough heritage and are not too heavy. Surly it’s time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve had a few albums since I'd all be for two hours of truly muscular prog metal on the Pyramid. But you'd need a balancing act of classics. 😉 I mean, knock Cyanide out and Metallica's setlist was pretty much peak-nineties era touring stuff. 16 hours ago, balti-pie said: An outrageous accusation!

Also needs wrathchild, moonchild and wasted years imo Skipped out on Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Moonchild, because the chance of them ever being played live again feels... slim. (I just don't like Wrathchild, sorry!) Wasted Years swapped out with Can I Play with Madness is probably more realistic, mind you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Son always gets overlooked as well. I always forget how good it is until it comes on, such a good change of pace.

Claims there are that it'll be a five-five-five split between Somewhere In Time, Senjutsu and classic fixtures. (Of which, Iron Maiden, The Number of the Beast, Fear of the Dark and The Trooper are almost religiously nailed on. After so many years, would be happy to see the latter take a breather.)

It's the albatross (geddit?) for bands like Maiden though. You've got the absolute classics that fans would riot if they didn't play them, but then you've also got decades of material, album tracks and lesser-played singles that smaller groups of fans would go absolutely ballistic for. I have the same issue when I see the Levellers; they generally have a relatively predictable setlist for their main shows, but the best gig of theirs I saw was one where they went for it and played a load of rarer material. Whether it would have worked as well on a bigger stage I don't know, but I had an absolute blast. Moved onto Somewhere In Time now thanks to you 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first leg behind Legacy of the Beast was close to GOAT status for modern Maiden shows. Tracks from all four eras - Di'Anno, Dickinson I, Bayley and Dickinson II - with a mixture within of stone-cold classics and prog-loving deep cuts. Think the only inclusion that could have lifted it to another level would have been throwing Phantom of the Opera in there somewhere. Know which five I'd want from Somewhere in Time. Kind of know which five you'd likely get, at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
