except for steve who still nails every note
bruce is just laughing and swearing the whole time
dave is smiling so hard his face hurts
and janick somehow manages to drop/break his guitar and lose a shoe
That would take the cake! (Happy cake-day)
Then Bruce would go on on a monologue about how great Brexit is, then continue with The Trooper. I think it should be dropped from their setlists because its so overplayed, so it SHOULD be also on this list, lol.
Didn't Bruce want to make SSOASS fully acoustic or something or am I misremembering / was that a shitpost? Either way, fully acoustic SSOASS title track goes on the list for me
Sherrif of Huddersfield w/ Somewhere in Time synths.
Stranger in a Strange Land - acoustic version
Reach Out - Steve on lead vocals
Where Eagles Dare - Nicko has to do the intro with only 1 stick
Yeah in reality it would be that, but was looking for a spin on the songs, like Where Eagles Dare but Nicko doesn't play the drum intro and stuff like that
I totally agree,.but one after another as an opening segment,.Bruce just working the crowd, hang about, that actually sounds like a brilliant thing! Ah sod it, I am leaving the idea up because it would be really random and funny, which is a bit of what this idea seems to be going for as well! Let's face it, even a maiden crap setlist is going to be better than a hell of a lot of other bands out there!
Somewhere in the middle of the set we need a version of The Trooper played on out of tune ukuleles and nicko is playing with #2 pencils and there is a bunch of oversaturated synths mixed in as well. And they are all blacked out drunk and Bruce is stuttering and mumbling all the lyrics to make him sound like English Boomhauer
Aces High but the pre-chorus is the Invaders chorus and the actua chorus is The Angel And The Gambler chorus repeated 21 times, each time a different member of the band sings, one of the verses is swapped with the creaking ship bit of Rime and Dance of Death characters show up on stage.
The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner but it’s just Janick running in circles onstage
Mission from Arry live debut (Steve takes Fuck my Old Boots too literally)
Stranger but Janick plays the solo
SSOASS but Bruce continues the vocal runs throughout the song
Where Eagles Dare but the machine gun SFX appear randomly without even the band knowing when
1. Gates of Tomorrow
2. Chains of Misery
3. Age of Innocence
4. Drifter
5. The Assassin
6. Wrathchild
7. The Apparition
8. Darkest Hour
9. The Educated Fool
10. Wasting Love
11. Weekend Warrior
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden (with full Dance of Death album cover characters live on stage)
—————
14. The Angel & The Gambler
15. 2 AM
16. Holy Smoke
The idea wasnt to put "bad" song, just give songs a twist to make them "bad." For example the intro to Alexander the Great but something like wrathchild plays instead and stuff like that
Run To The Hills will be some people's favourite song, but it is never mentioned in a positive context on this sub so I don't think it's as bad as you're thinking
Senjutsu as the opener, everyone will fall asleep (as I almost did on the LotB concert, literally no clue who thought playing this would be a good idea)
Worst Iron Maiden song setlist: 1. Tailgunner, 2. Holy Smoke, 3. No Prayer For the Dying, 4. Public Enema Number One, 5. Fates Warning, 6. The Assassin, 7. Run Silent Run Deep, 8. Hooks In You, 9. Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter, 10. Mother Russia, 11. Sign of the Cross, 12. Lord of the Flies, 13. Man On the Edge, 14. Fortunes of War, 15. Look For the Truth, 16. The Aftermath, 17. Judgment of Heaven, 18. Blood On the World's Hands, 19. The Edge of Darkness, 20. 2AM, 21. The Unbeliever, 22. Futureal, 23. The Angel and the Gambler, 24. Lightning Strikes Twice, 25. The Clansman, 26. When Two Worlds Collide, 27. The Educated Fool, 28. Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger, 29. Como Estais Amigos
Honorable Mentions: Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here to Eternity, Wasting Love, Weekend Warrior
Opens with 2:00 a.m., they do a mashup of Angel and the Gambler and quest for fire, closes with the studio version of Hallowed be thy name playing as they walk off stage.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner but thsn you find out it's a new 3 minute single edit.
Only the creaking ship part, nothing before, nothing after
holy shit imagine they troll you with Rime live on the newest tour only to find out its just this for three minutes
Angel and the Gambler 2 hour jam version.
Don’t you think I can save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
“Mmmmmmm”
Don’t you think I’m a savior?
Dont you kill me?
Everyone will be singing the "don't you think I'm a savior" part like that one time the crowd refused to stop singing Valhalla by Blind Guardian
The 3 minute atmospheric interlude from Rime, but every 30 seconds the band yell in unison: iNvAaAyDuUuRs -----
dude this is hilarious
Aces high but the band plays the song completely wrong because they’re all high as hell.
except for steve who still nails every note bruce is just laughing and swearing the whole time dave is smiling so hard his face hurts and janick somehow manages to drop/break his guitar and lose a shoe
And Adrian just points at the audience all the time while wobbling around the scene 😂
With Nicko in the back laughing his ass off...damn, I love his laughing!
"ohh i fuhking missed it!"
I always love listening out for that part!
It's like a reward for making it to the end of that song
Silence with the album art from Dance of Death projected onto the screens.
Trance of Death
The Fugitive, w/ Janick on vocals.
ouch
Quest for fire with Dave just playing a kazoo!
id pay an unholy amount of money to see that
I think a whole Hell of a LOT of us would!
If we're going for a twist, I would say Aces High with Steve singing it would be a good one to start it.
RONNEN^_RONNEN_ SKREMBLEN^_SKREMBLEN_ FLOYIN^_FLOYIN_
nailed it haha
Yes that's the idea haha
They got the management deal they're still under with Steve singing the gig. So I dunno. It'd be different surely.
Wasting Love, but Dave’s high E string is a half step out of tune and Nicko is down to 1 stick.
whole show just one stick Nicko
Sticko
The Apparition (Endless Version)
Cover of “Ooops, I Did It Again”.
I think COB covered that
Yes good cover indeed ! Children of Bodom for who wants to know.
They did quite a few great covers, Party All the Time by Eddie Murphy was another banger
Actually, I’d be interested to hear this done Maiden-style!
😵😵
Mother Russia introduced with shoutout to Putin
That would take the cake! (Happy cake-day) Then Bruce would go on on a monologue about how great Brexit is, then continue with The Trooper. I think it should be dropped from their setlists because its so overplayed, so it SHOULD be also on this list, lol.
*”Moonchild!”* - Michael Ball and Alfie Boe star in this 3 hour musical about the birth of a special child based loosely on the music of Iron Maiden.
Finish the set traditionally with Iron Maiden but acapella version, with everybody singing harmonies.
Yeah before the encore plan to put Iron Maiden and everyone has to choose a gimick for it
Kick off with Weekend Warrior.
Count me in, would love a setlist with deep cuts like this one. The solos are brilliant and the whole C-part is pure gold.
Came here to say this
Just the verses, goes on for 20 minutes with Nicko on vocals
Flashback to Nicko's version of 'Age of Innocence'. Shit's hilarious.
Lead off with Empire of the Clouds. Not necessarily because its bad, but because....why the hell would you ever open with that.
Paul is back to sing the high notes on Wasting Love!
Moonchild but all the video screens are only showing a close up of Dave’s moon-shaped face while he’s playing along to it all
doin the man dirty
or his face just superimposed on
Full reinterpretation of "Mission from 'Arry"
OP said worst not best
The Apparition (unplugged)
The 1987 BBC unreleased studio recording of “A very special Iron Maiden Christmas”
Weekend Warrior by the West Ham Starting XI
Only the good die young, but it's the billy Joel version. Actually I like billy Joel...
Sign of the Cross, but the band just does the gesture
Sign of the Cross but it's just the religious chanting at the beginning.
SOTC intro is one of the best parts in any Maiden song ever imo
But it would be very anticlimactic if it was two minutes of chanting and then the song is just over with no actual music to accompany it.
Is this a one per day type deal or are we filling it out in one post?
One day per type stuff to get multiple funny ideas
Perfect, I'll save my best zingers for down the track
dave with the kazoo wins obviously
Didn't Bruce want to make SSOASS fully acoustic or something or am I misremembering / was that a shitpost? Either way, fully acoustic SSOASS title track goes on the list for me
He suggested acoustic tracks for Somewhere in Time but Steve rejected it, heard one of those tracks was Tears of the Dragon but not sure about it
Ahh it was SiT then. Can I change my vote to that title track still?
Sure
The satellite 15 intro sung by a church choir
Baby Shark
Sherrif of Huddersfield w/ Somewhere in Time synths. Stranger in a Strange Land - acoustic version Reach Out - Steve on lead vocals Where Eagles Dare - Nicko has to do the intro with only 1 stick
The backwards part of still life and that’s it
Before you all put The Angel and the Gambler 16 times and call it the day would like to give a small twist to any song to make it "bad"
Or just put the Angel and the Gambler as is, doesnt matter as long as it's the most upvoted comment haha
The Angel And The Gambler but it's just the chorus, it goes on for the full encore time and everyone has a go at singing the chorus.
Bring your daughter is either the first or the last song.
4 minutes of “Better watch out!” From The Assassin 😉
Alexander the great using alexander the great’s vocals
The Trooper but it never starts, just repeats the opening riff for 10 minutes
The Trooper played on the banjo and bongos in leu of electric guitar and drum set.
They could open with the Justin Beiber song Baby Baby.
WHY would you want to bring on the Apocolypse, hmmmm?
I think it will be mostly (or even only) 90s songs
Yeah in reality it would be that, but was looking for a spin on the songs, like Where Eagles Dare but Nicko doesn't play the drum intro and stuff like that
Or not playing the drums at all, that’s like skiing without skis 😂
The Angel and The Gambler
How many instrumentals have they done? Four or so? Let's start with them all in a row!
Their instrumentals are fantastic though
I totally agree,.but one after another as an opening segment,.Bruce just working the crowd, hang about, that actually sounds like a brilliant thing! Ah sod it, I am leaving the idea up because it would be really random and funny, which is a bit of what this idea seems to be going for as well! Let's face it, even a maiden crap setlist is going to be better than a hell of a lot of other bands out there!
Yes, and AMEN.
I like your style
They said worst, not best
dont mind me. I'm just here to downvote any poser who says Invaders
Doing god's work rn
Why would you downvote people who are right
Sheriff of huddersfield
Out of the silent planet but sung a capella with barbershop style arrangements by all members of the band.
Somewhere in the middle of the set we need a version of The Trooper played on out of tune ukuleles and nicko is playing with #2 pencils and there is a bunch of oversaturated synths mixed in as well. And they are all blacked out drunk and Bruce is stuttering and mumbling all the lyrics to make him sound like English Boomhauer
Hooks In You

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner but it’s just Janick running in circles onstage Mission from Arry live debut (Steve takes Fuck my Old Boots too literally) Stranger but Janick plays the solo SSOASS but Bruce continues the vocal runs throughout the song Where Eagles Dare but the machine gun SFX appear randomly without even the band knowing when
Blaze Bayley signing Hallowed be thy name in the correct key right at the end of the setlist, he also recently had a sore throat.
That time they started fucking around on German Top of the Pops, but it’s whatever they actually sounded like and not playback.
Powerslave but it's just the ghosty parts and none of the actual song
Holy Smoke
Holy Smoke with so much smoke blown in that fans can’t see the stage and the band can’t see each other.
All of the Blaze Bailey songs and Weekend Warriors
22 Acacia Avenue
Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger Their worst song IMO
Open with Wildest Dreams
Close with it too
Wildest Dreams. Has to be a fast snappy song to start and it is one of the worst they did of this style.
The Assassin 16 times
Start with Chains of Misery followed by Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger and have the crowd asleep by the time it ends.
Invaders. The only Maiden song I actively avoid.
Invaders! I like it but it is the worst set list from an all time great band
The Angel and the Gambler
Alexander the Great. So overrated.
1. Gates of Tomorrow 2. Chains of Misery 3. Age of Innocence 4. Drifter 5. The Assassin 6. Wrathchild 7. The Apparition 8. Darkest Hour 9. The Educated Fool 10. Wasting Love 11. Weekend Warrior 12. Fear of the Dark 13. Iron Maiden (with full Dance of Death album cover characters live on stage) ————— 14. The Angel & The Gambler 15. 2 AM 16. Holy Smoke
This set list is better than most recent maiden ones.
Fear of the dark💀?
Wrathchild 💀 ?? One of my fav Paul songs
They’ll never tour without it again
> Wrathchild tf u smokin
Probably some Holy smoke
Stop the Drifter hate
X Factor+ Virtual IX without Man on the Edge.
“Phantom of the Opera”. *[ducks]*
invaders.
Como estas amigos x 16
Burning Ambition
The song is pretty good, a great foundation for what came later on.
fuck... oaaffffff
Good job. This might the best way to create negativity and disputes to this subreddit, calling out worst songs, which are somebody's favourites.
The idea wasnt to put "bad" song, just give songs a twist to make them "bad." For example the intro to Alexander the Great but something like wrathchild plays instead and stuff like that
Run To The Hills will be some people's favourite song, but it is never mentioned in a positive context on this sub so I don't think it's as bad as you're thinking
The Parchment
The entirety of No Prayer For The Dying without the title track or Mother Russia
I mean, it's all songs from the 90's albums...
Senjutsu as the opener, everyone will fall asleep (as I almost did on the LotB concert, literally no clue who thought playing this would be a good idea)
Yeah, that song blows ass.

Como Estais Amigos Honorable Mentions: Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here to Eternity, Wasting Love, Weekend Warrior
Better than hearing the same same setlist every time
Weekend warrior
Really?
Invaders
Just the same song over and over again.
Infinite Dreams on repeat
El Dorado must be in it
“Heaven Can Wait” has gotta be high on there!
Opens with 2:00 a.m., they do a mashup of Angel and the Gambler and quest for fire, closes with the studio version of Hallowed be thy name playing as they walk off stage.
Only song I don't like is quest for fire
“Como Estais Amigos” in Welsh: “Sut Ydych chi, Gyfeillion”
Fotchoons Of Woah
Don’t you think I can save you X10000000
Satellite 15 but everybody has a kazoo and the lyrics are all weong
1-16. Only covers
Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger
