Themes for new Maiden album

[Patrick Watts]

Iron Maiden's long awaited sixteenth studio album is expected to drop in 2014 at the earliest. Although there's no hint of what themes might be in th album, I wondered what you'd like to hear in the new album

Personally, I'd like an epic based on medieval England. Maiden have covered many themes throughout their career, but they've yet to feature anything on the Middle Ages

Opinions?

I'd like a concept album about Zombie Apocalypse.

 

[Black Wizard]

I'd like the songs to be based around the dynamics of an internet forum.

 

[Mosh]

I want one 80 minute track of Nicko rambling over a compilation of Janick's various guitar noises from live concerts.

I would like a concept album a bit like Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown', split into three 'stages' and focussing on monumental moments in history

Or Bruce screaming for 80 minutes straight?

Some more focus on tracks with Nicko, Dave, & trumpets...

Middle age? Exactly! Great idea!
Whether or not to buy vacation property?
How to keep the wife and the ex happy at your daughter's wedding?
Florida or Arizona? Plane or RV?
Golf handicaps? Fishing holes?
Taxes!
It's about time they kicked some ass on issues relevant to their lives!

 

[Night Prowler]

I'd like to hear a song about Obama, maybe with guest appearances by Jon Schaffer and Dave Mustaine.

Maybe when they're in their 70s, they can start ranting about anything

Good idea! Would beat anything about Cameron or Clegg any day

 

[Crimson Idol]

More cowbell.

 

[Iron Lurker]

The Majesty of Gaia.......

 

[Pand]

Side A: The history of the American cast-iron stove industry.
Side B: A discourse on feminist literature.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Hmm, sometimes I wonder how new maidenfans ever stick around with responses like these

 

[Perun]

It's a rite of passage, obviously.
