I like these smaller shows, especially with this trio. Feels more like an actual conversation and each person gets to expand on their points more. Love the channel, Pete!

“You don’t clap hands at a f$$$ing metal show” 😂😂😂😂 Awesome show gents

For every one person in the crowd that doesn't want to hear that overplayed song, there's a thousand people in the same crowd that can't wait to hear it. 😊

I personally never get tired of hearing "Dont Fear the Reaper."

Love this episode, the guys keeping it real (and fun as always) .... my favorite three of the Hudson Valley personalities!

The best line up. Chris and Ryan are great guys, funny and know what they listen to. Great show

Always a great show when the King is there. Love the Bobby Blitz impersonation.

Really enjoyed this one gents. Sometimes the smaller panel works really well, things flow more naturally.

This is a great show topic. Pete keep this one going if you can.

I would love Iron Maiden to play Remember Tomorrow, Prowler, Another Life , Prodigal Son, Invaders, Twilight Zone, Gangland, 22 Acacia Avenue, and Be Quick or Be Dead

Three grumpy old men having a go! 😀😀😀 Love it!!!

Hi Pete. I really, liked this show. Seemed to flow very nicely with just three of you. Ryan and Chris are always spot on and really fantastic. Laughed out loud a few times. Thanks to you Pete, Ryan and Chris for one of the best HVS episodes so far. 🤘🤘🤘

I think the reason why Blood Brothers is so overplayed by Iron Maiden is that Steve Harris is emotionally attached to that particular song. He wrote the song when his father passed away and it's about the experience of losing one's father. It's been said again and again that Maiden's setlist is dictated by whatever Steve Harris wants to play, and additionally management mandates several live staples by contract. This is what it is.

My daughter is just getting into Maiden. We saw them and it was great they played these songs for the new fans instead of catering to just old farts who overplayed it to death. Senjutsu is awesome live btw.

Thanks guys for another great show. 👍

Always a blast with this HOF trio. Thx guys 👍💯

I saw Maiden few days ago in Warsaw, Poland and I have to say seeing Blood Brothers live made this song to the top of my Maiden top 10 songs. It's such a powerful anthem and also so different for them.

Brilliant show as always guys! Great and interesting choice for discussion. For people like us who have been Maiden fans forever, everything you all said was spot on. What I would add to the mix is that bands like Maiden get first time fans at every show, especially older fans bringing their kids to the show for the first time. My daughter went to her first ever show on The Book of Souls tour. I absolutely loved it as they played loads of new tracks, and my daughter loved it too, but was a little disappointed as a load of 80s hits were missed off. I guess it's a real balancing act, especially on the hits tours to satisfy both demographics. I'm totally onside with you guys, newer fans, maybe not so much? I guess for newer fans, imagine going back in time to your first ever Maiden show in the 80s? That's the experience (or close to), that they get. That also gives them longevity getting newer fans on board I guess?

After the last couple of years, I'm just glad to be seeing any bands playing live!

This is why I love Blackberry Smoke - different set list every night. If they are in the same place 2 nights they mix it up even more. Quality!

You guys cracked me up tonight!

Great show as always! :) My picks: Iron Maiden (of course): Fear of the Dark (agree with all the ones you've mentioned too :) ) Deep Purple: Smoke on the Water The Black Crowes: Remedy

What killed Smoke On The Water for me wasn't a concert or it being played on the radio. It was a xylophone version someone had on his phone as his tone...

Not ashamed to say that a main reason I saw Night Ranger was for "Sister Christian". the energy that the crowd brought was incredible. Hallowed be thy Name is the greatest song ever, don't know how you could be tired of it. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of "You Gotta Nother Thing Comin", that can go.

I will pick my 3 choices 1. Acdc You shook me all night long. Even though I’ve never seen them live yet, if they drop that song I would be happy 2. Metallica, couple songs from black album 3. Cheap Trick The Flame

STYX started playing "Mr. Roboto" for the first time in years, and I already wish they'd stop LOL...I just saw STYX and the show was OUTSTANDING. Go see 'em if you can, you will not regret it. And "Roboto" was part of the encore at least (followed by "Renegade"), so it was a bit more bearable.

Man, Chris really killed Pete with that "hello from the gutter".

Where’s the entire Somewhere in Time album live Maiden??????

As someone living in a small Canadian market, I'm just happy to have the bands play here. 😀 A band's "Canadian" tour = Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

"See Grandma dance" LMFAO

I sympathize with that feeling that you're one of the only fans at the show that wants to hear deep cuts. I saw Gang of Four in the 90s, and watched them play a stunning version of the song "Anthrax" to an indifferent audience. but when they played their hit "I Love a Man in Uniform" the crowd went nuts. I have no problem with the song, but I was a bit annoyed with the audience. This was at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT

Chris, that’s a great impression of Blitz. Ryan, I was at the Overkill show in Montclair NJ.

I love the smaller HVS. Great show!

One note on a current band, Ghost had been playing their cover of Enter Sandman at all shows this year.....complete waste of precious setlist space for one of the most overplayed songs in history. The good news??? is that at their most recent show (Hellfest in France) they dropped it and added Griftwood from the new album. Fingers crossed that they keep it that way on the upcoming U.S. Tour.....can't wait for August 26th in San Diego!

Thanks for the laughs. "Hello"! from Australia.

No way you drop Breaking The Law from a live setlist...get the crowd angsty and fist pumping, lets go 🤘

Great Episode!

This was great!

I totally agree with Blood Brothers. They played it in 2017 for the Book of Souls tour and they're playing it again on the Senjutsu tour. It kind of grinds the energy of the show to a halt.

Pete, I believe I remember reading that it was Steve Morse who wanted to start playing Hush live. They opened with it on the Purpendicular tour stop in Toronto.

Iron Maiden: saw them Live 157 times in 30 countries,but "Fear of the Dark"...i can't take it anymore.... ^^ Btw: They playing tonight in Frankfurt, Germany! See you there! PS: You're right,they are really lazy with their setlist.... :(

Cheap Trick "The Flame" Iron Maiden "Fear of the Dark" "Iron Maiden" Judas Priest "Living After Midnight", "Breaking the Law", "Metal Gods" Metallica "Enter Sadman", "Nothing Else Matters", "Unforgiven" KISS "Say Yeah" Angel "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" Queensryche - anything from Empire For me, I could never get bored of "Hallowed Be Thy Name". Maybe the greatest metal song ever written.

The new "Larry, Curly and Moe". Chris sounds like Curly. Love the channel. The best entertainment out here. Who cares about Pop and rigged sports anymore. Really dig the deep tracks and history off the great albums, songs, concerts, and experiences. We still have generations that have great experiences of the past 50+ years or so growing up here.

@Chris Alo. I was at that AC/DC show at the Roseland. Drove down from Boston after paying a scalper $400 for a ticket. It was a great show. Lots of tasty nuggets that they don't usually play (If You Want Blood, Gone Shootin', What's Next to The Moon)... will never forget the lady they pulled up on stage to sing TNT. Good time!

I agree with Ryan, I hate when people clap along with songs. It ruins the song, if it isn’t already shit. I want to hear the band not the audience.

I have an idea for a video: The best songs bands never play live, and you wish they would.

Glad you all agreed on Living After Midnight. I would be happy if I never heard that song again.

You're so right about Blue Oyster Cult. I'll never understand how that band toured arenas for so many years with only THREE songs. Reaper, Godzilla, and Burning For You. in actuality, there's no clear reason(s) why so so so many people bought that ticket time after time. Multiple members were living in Stamford, Ct. at their height so maybe there were some shady backroom promoter deals struck with Vince McMahon?

You guys must have all loved the Nostradamus tour then! That tour was my first experience seeing Priest live. I got free tickets, so I said why not. I waited all night to hear Living After Midnight...crickets. The only song I recognized that night (admittedly, I know Priest WAAAY better today than back then), was the only song they did for their small encore: You've Got Another Thing Comin'. I felt ripped off, even though I paid nothing. :) If there was a silver lining, they played a song that apparently they had not played for a while, called Rock Hard, Ride Free. I had never heard the song, but it was so memorable live that it led me to explore Judas Priest's catalog further. Fortunately, I was able to see them again with Deep Purple years later, and that show was epic. Total redemption! :)

The hard part of being a band is to play the songs that bring the people to the show. I saw Neil Young a few years ago and he didn’t play any of his “hits”. I’m not a big fan of his, so I was a little disappointed, but the songs he played were still good.

Great episode

part 4 - songs I will never get sick of seeing live Iron Maiden - Hallowed be Thy Name Iron Maiden - Where Eagles Dare Judas Priest - Electric Eye Dream Theater - In the Name of God Kiss - Black Diamond

Great show! Unfortunately I play in a cover band and all we can play is songs I never want to hear again!

Ok ... Well done to me!!! I guessed that the first song would be "The Trooper" or "Run to the Hills" from IM but I didn't know who would say it. Ok ... Ryan said it first 😁😁 For me ... a band that should stop playing live half of its songs from the setlist ... it's the Scorpions!! OMG... please show mercy. "Wind of Change", "Big City Nights", "Still Loving You", "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "Send Me an Angel" ... That's enough!! Fun Fact for Chris: The songs ... "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "The Number of the Beast" are the songs that have been played the most from all Iron Maiden concerts! Approaching 2000 plays!

You hated Senjutsu?!? I thought it was awesome! Got better after each listen for about the first 5 times. Lot of depth to the music

Great show, and you guys already picked most of the songs I can't stand either, however, here's a few more that were missed in my opinion: 1. Metallica: Sad But True (never, ever, ever, want to hear this song played ever again, period!) 2. Megadeth: A Tout Le Monde (always went to grab a beer or t-shirt when this song was played) 3. AC/DC: T.N.T. (I know they have to play it but it's so overplayed I can't stand it anymore) Lastly on the topic of Maiden, it would be so nice to see them bust out songs from the first two albums, or even say Somewhere in Time, or one of the few good songs off No Prayer. I was able to see Bruce on his speaking tour this past March, and a lot of the questions he was asked was about their setlist being the same old songs... would be nice if the band actually listened to the fans.

I love you guys.

1. AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long 2. Def Leppard Pour Some Sugar On Me 3. Kiss Lick It Up 4. Paul McCartney Hey Jude 5. Billy Joel My Life

It´s tempting to imagine Maiden´s rehearsals for a new tour only consisting of getting familiar with songs from the latest album. The rest is pretty much Live After Death plus three or four songs from the 1995-2006 period.

I expected Pete to say : " Magma, all of their songs"

20:39 they should open with Don't Fear The Reaper. Lol

Throughout the decades there are two songs that I wish my favorite band would not play in concert. My favorite band is Yes. The two songs are: Roundabout at the end of every show, which should be retitled: Where Is My Car Parked? and Rhythm of Love, which is a song I really never liked anyway. I have been going to their shows since 1975. Also Steve Howe playing: The Clap at every single Yes concert I have ever seen since 1975.

Brought back memories with the parking lot rant .MY rule was never to play a bands music a week before the show . MY question to those who use to play the greatest hits before the concert was Why

Not a lover of "Winds of Change"-I'm old enough to have seen The Scorpions before it featured in their set-but, as a Scottish person living in Gdansk, and having seen them there, I totally get it's popularity and the emotional attachment.

That Acdc show at the roseland they opened with Hell Ain’t a Bad Place To Be and closed with You Shook Me All Night Long

I’m glad Pete said it because that is one of my pet peeves at concerts. People playing non stop material in the parking lot of the band they are about to go see. And of all the signature songs that they are going to play. Why do people do that? You may as well take it a step further and listen to a bootleg from the show on the same tour so you can hear exactly the show you’re about to go see and diminish your live experience even more.

Somebody at work today had benny and the jets playing on their radio. If that song isn't eighteen minutes too long I don't know what is lol!

Rush - Tom Sawyer. They are no longer together but I’ve seen them live on every tour since 1981 and Tom Sawyer has been played on every tour. Never need to hear it again and skip it when I listen to their catalog. It’s a great song but I’ve heard it just too many times.

Haha good picks on this. A big one I squirm at is the old chestnut that every band ever has covered at least once and that’s Born To Be Wild. Several years ago even Anvil started encoring with that and it was “Nooooo!!” from me. It was a big encore from BOC in the 70’s and that was cool because it was just before other bands found it. Then BOC would encore with another uber-overplayed number, the immortal Roadhouse Blues which is just a waste of concert time to me, good Doors tune but not one I ever want to hear at a show. In 92 I was against the stage in front of Lemmy and they played Hellraiser which was an Ozzy tune first though yeah Lem had a hand in writing ok. But there’s too many MH songs they could play instead. Then they go into Cat Scratch Fever and I lost it. The mushrooms didn’t help. But I yelled out “Play Motörhead songs!!!” as loud as I could. It was so annoying they’d play that, bad enough it was on an album of theirs.

1)Def Leppard Pour Some Sugar on Me 2)Warrant Cherry Pie 3)Motley Crue Home Sweet Home or Smokin' in the Boys Room 4)Queensryche SIlent Lucidity 5)Aerosmith Cryin" or Crazy 6)Bon Jovi Livin' on a Prayer 7)Rascal Flatts Life Is a Highway 8)Poison Unskinny Bop 9)Kiss Rock "n Roll All Nite 10)Pearl Jam Better Man

Just saw Iron Maiden in Sweden a few days ago, great concert but Run to the Hills is a song I agree could be axed. A great song, but I've heard it since the 80's live... Blood Brothers is ok, but Clansman is a better choice and this tour they had both. Senjutsu (title track) worked surprisingly good live as well as Writing on the wall.

Chris Alo is hilarious! His description of Megadeth's Sweating Bullets is comedy gold!

Maiden should revamp their entire show. When they did the 7th Son setlist tour I was disappointed. I never want to hear them play Aces High, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Evil That Men Do, Iron Maiden, Fear of the Dark, Sign of the Cross, Wicker Man, Blood Brothers, Prisoner, Wasted Years, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter, Can I Play WIth Madness... stay away from all of those. I know the last few aren't played much, but they haven't aged well. I feel the opposite about Priest. I have always loved Living After Midnight (1st real rock song I learned on guitar) and could drop Breaking The Law and You've Got Another Thing Coming. AC/DC should drop You Shook Me, Thunderstruck, Dirty Deeds, Shot Down In Flames and Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be. The first two are just for the soccer mom crowd. I liked them for a long time, but want some variety. The last three are just staples they always play. They've been done to death. Add some songs from Flick or Fly or play Ballbreaker or Stiff Upper Lip. There are some deep tracks from both the Bon and Brian era that could be done.

At the one minute mark I'm already saying the most obvious song which is Turbo Lover by Priest. Everyone heads to the bathroom or gets a beer during that song. And, Metallica-Enter Sandman. I've seen them 15 times through Justice and 1 time after when the black album came out. And, Enter sandman started my hate of my favorite band at the time.

For Maiden I think I’m good on hearing Wrathchild. They’ve done it on a bunch of recent tours and don’t seem to be too enthused about it at this point lol. Would love to hear anything else from Killers

Ryan cracks me up “fuck that song” “stupid hand clapping songs”

Obviously not touring anymore but sabbath w/ Dio playing the half hour version of heaven and hell

randomly, i’m about to be one cd away from completing my Judas Priest album collection

That with the handclapping songs was great! Unhonorable mentions: Satisfaction Winds Of Change Walk This Way My Generation Run To The Hills Smoke On The Water Back In Black Davies On The Road Again Like A Rolling Stone A (the) german comedian (Otto Waalkes) did a good parody of the Winds Of Change video on german television.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the light Deep Purple - Smoke on the water I totally agree on Wind of Change.

Hi Guys. Great show. My Priest pick is both Living After Midnight and Breaking The Law. Play Rapid Fire or The Rage from British Steel. I do not want to hear Run To The Hills anymore. This might be sacrilegious, But Paranoid from Black Sabbath they could stop at any time and I would be alright. Do Not really need Enter Sandman either.

I like your shirt, Pete!

To Chris' point, I don't like the pace they play Hallowed Be Thy Name live with Nicko. He is an beast, but he plays it way too fast. It kills the dynamics and that anthemic pace.There's none of that "2-hands-swinging-the hi-hat" that Clive did. The Maiden song I'd drop would be Fear of the Dark. Even though Trooper, Hills, Number, IM are played far more often, I understand the reason why they do those. But FOTD?!!? In its place, they could play both Evil That Men Do + Flight of Icarus (to name 2 hits , but still not constant on the setlist) which are way better.

"Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters" are songs I'd like to see out of the set. The biggest hit by Rammstein, "Du Hast" is the song I never liked, and it's the biggest crowd pleaser I can't stand. Interesting topic, I was just looking at Slipknot's set list for this tour and there are a lot of songs they are playing forever and I was literally like, there like almost 75% - 80% songs I wish they would leave alone, "Spit It Out" and "Surfacing" are the first, I'm sick of hearing them, "Wait and Bleed", "Psychosocial", "All Out Life", "Custer", etc.

I agree with the comments about "Maiden" the "Trooper" and "Fear of the Dark" are annoying, there are so many great songs to choose from, but I guess they stick with "what works". One band that kept their live set interesting and would surprise us , was Rush.

One of the main reasons that I haven’t seen Maiden and Priest in the last 20 years is that I don’t want to see them play most of their sets. I saw them play these back in the day.

My pick: Iron Maiden - 'Fear Of The Dark' Never need to hear that damned song again!

I call these songs hit the head songs. The only song in Rush's set that i grew to really wish they would skip was Roll the Bones. But right about now i just wish i could hear them play it again.

I will say in regards to the Maiden complaints, while yes, they are lazy with their setlists, I have to give Bruce Dickinson credit for being willing to sing songs that the band made with Blaze, because it's rare to see a vocalist return to a band and perform anything that the band made with their replacement vocalist. When the MK II lineup of Deep Purple reunited, Ian Gillan refused to sing anything that they made with David Coverdale, and the same can be said for David Lee Roth not singing anything Van Halen made with Sammy Hagar, Halford not singing anything Priest made with Tim Owens, Ozzy not singing anything Sabbath made with the other singers, even Dio on any of the times he reunited with Iommi and Butler, he didn't sing anything Sabbath made with Tony Martin. Dickinson, from day one of his return was performing songs they made with Bayley, because he's a team-player and he knows it's about the show and the quality of the song, not just showcasing his (and Di'Anno's) era. The only other singer I can recall who's done the same is Joey Belladonna singing at least one song ("Only") that Anthrax made with John Bush. Just thought I'd put my two cents in.

"Livin' After Midnight" worked when it was new and they played it as part of the encore (that's definitely an "encore song.") Don't need to hear it now. * correction: I just checked my setlist and it was the set closer. Same idea, it worked as an encore or set-closer song.*

I am totally with Chris on hallowed be thy name. It has been locked into the set for 40 years! It is enough already. I never want to hear it again

Funny Show guys, but you are killing me. Firstly oohhhh to be somewhere where you can see your fav bands all the time to the point you get sick of seeing them play ANY song. Secondly the reason I'm a metal head in the first place is I heard 'living after midnight' on the radio in 1980 (or maybe saw on TV) as a 14 year old so immediately went out and bought British Steel and Stained Class and never looked back, before this I was into AC/DC, Deep Purple, Status Quo etc. Thirdly I still love 2 Minutes to Midnight and Hallowed be Thy Name, both 5 top Maiden songs and they are my fav band of all time. Penultimately can I say I actually like the "Whistle Song". And lastly, yeah we all get sick to death of songs because they are overplayed by everyone else, but I cant hate a band playing it live and you know that of course the average punter wants to hear it at the concert. So funny, highly entertaining show guys. PS Pete, don't ever get rid of the HVS from your programming. PPS, To get around this playing the same old - same old I went to a Midnight Oil concert once (final ever tour... until the next reunion tour) and they had a spinning wheel with their entire catalogue on it and just spun the wheel and played whatever came up. Excellent!

Just think. What if Iron Maiden just did The Angel and the Gambler for their entire set.

Replace 'Another thing Comin' with 'Deliverin the Goods', the goods didn't make it to the radio.

I agree with blood brothers. I like the song, but they play it every time. It's also on the setlist this year.

Kansas: Dust in the wind (I know). Major hit, but Billy looks like he wants to jump off a building when they play it and I want to jump with him. My favorite band. Play Pinnacle or Cold Grey morning or something from Freaks!

I saw Priest on Firepower tour w Uriah Heep and they dropped You Got Another Thing Coming from the setlist. I thought it was a great set and didn’t miss them dropping it.

agreed on maiden. never liked blood brothers and the setlist rarely changes aside from adding in songs from the latest album theyre touring. I wish they would drop some of the longer tracks and put a few more shorter ones in. Tailgunner, Be quick or be dead, rainmaker, only the good die young, the alchemist, twilight zone, deja vu... anything really at this point.

Great video Pete, Chris, and Ryan here are my songs by bands I don't need to ever hear again live or on the radio: 1. Kiss ---- "Rock n Roll All Nite", "Strutter", "Shout it out Loud" 2. Metallica ----- "Nothing Else Matters", "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgivin" 3. Iron Maiden ----- "The Clansman", "Run to the Hills", "Blood Brothers" 4. Judas Priest ----- "Living After Midnight", "You've Got Another Thing Comin", "Breaking the Law" 5. AC/DC ------ "Thunderstruck"(sorry but enough already!!!!) , "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Highway to Hell" Honorable mentions: Van Halen ---- (if they were to reform again with Wolfgang, Dave, Michael, and Alex) ----- "Jump", "Panama", Van Hagar ----- (if this was to ever happen with Wolfgang, Sammy, Michael, and Alex) ----- "Dreams", "When it's Love", Yes ----- "Roundabout", "Owner of a Lonely Heart", and "I've Seen All Good People"---- (I still kinda like these songs but I've heard enough of them to last me five lifetimes).....however of the three songs the only one I won't change the station on when it still comes on is "Roundabout" (because it's still and always will be such a killer Chris Squier bass line and I'm a bass player)

Gillan refuses to sing any Purple songs he didn't record. My guess is that one of the reasons the re-recording was bizarrely bolted onto the Nobody's Perfect album was to get round that stipulation?
