06/25/2012
. (Classic Rock) Iron Maiden have kicked off their new retro tour and they're preparing for the barrage of complaints from some sections of their vocal fanbase. But it's business as usual for guitarist Adrian Smith, who insists anyone who's unhappy about their 1980s-themed setlist just needs to look at things the other way.

The band's Maiden England tour focuses on and around their Seventh Son of a Seventh Son era with no up-to-date material making an appearance.

On the opening night of the US leg in Charlotte, North Carolina, Maiden's set list was Moonchild, Can I Play With Madness, The Prisoner, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, The Trooper, The Number of the Beast, Phantom of the Opera, Run to the Hills, Wasted Years, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, The Clairvoyant, Fear of the Dark, Iron Maiden, Aces High, The Evil That Men Do and Running Free.
