I agree Mr.Hyde.
And really from a marketing standpoint, they only need to look at BNWs numbers to see that there's still loads of sales to be made by drumming up support through touring the US on a large scale.
In fact, here in Pittsburgh "Wildest Dreams" got a pretty warm reception, despite being new. I think Maiden would do well to realize that the devoted fans who want to hear the new stuff live far exceed the vocal minority who doesn't.
It was a dropoff from the BNW tour, but here Maiden still put a good 8-9 thousand asses in the seats, and that's nothing to sneeze at. Especially here in Pittsburgh where people are a little dead-assed about things like concerts sometimes.
