Indeed, good points. And they've been been adapting setlists to help out H since the 80's too...
I think it's more of an issue of stamina for Bruce, and artistic choice for Adrian (as covered in history part 3).
In what way?
They didn't when Smith left. They didn't when Dickinson left.
Maiden don't operate in a casual, see how things pan out, kind of way. They are a well organised business and I am sure that the remainder of their career is well planed, right down to the exit strategy. One more album and tour, Farewell tour... ? maybe, who knows, but I am sure that they will all be aware of the final plan, will have agreed to it and that there will be no line-up changes before they stop as an active band. Maiden as a business will continue after the band stop playing. Take the suggestion of the museum, the beer, further re packaged, re releases, previously un released live recordings etc... Zepplin are still bring stuff out now ! Changes now, would fly in the face of all the re-union, classic era re visited stuff they have been doing these last 9 or so years. This line up IS Maiden. It's just too late to get new blood in now.
Sure Steve will make further albums with British lion and tour as long as he can.
