News Burning Ambition Documentary

I go once a month, Thai wife likes dodgy Thai horror movies. Sunday afternoon, we tend to be only 2 people in cinema.

Waiting on movie tickets to go on sale in Bangkok, one of the 2 main cinema chains here knows nothing about movie, other didn't reply to my email.

Capn Harris and crew spent last summer complaining about Maiden, self entitled whinging about not recording an hour of every gig and the set list. Sheriff must have missed that.

Yeah, I passed on watching those vlogs pretty much as I think RFYL is fantastic. But IIRC they preferred the LOTB style stage production and not the big screen. I think being an artist she was concerned about the possible use of AI. If they had a beef with the setlist I missed that. Still they obviously love Maiden.

If stuff like that would be enough to keep them out of the documentary then 99% of this forum would have not a chance in Hell to make it lol.

This only reinforces that they’re not involved simply because they agree with everything the band does or act as blind fanatics, but because they resonate with a segment of Maiden fans, especially younger ones. If anything, their presence adds credibility to the documentary, even though I highly doubt it will include any real criticism of the band.
 
Personally I can’t stand Capnharris. She along with a few others on the official forum are just desperate wannabes doing anything they can just stand out and be revered as uber fans.

I totally went off her when she started ranting about the screens and Maiden using AI.

I’m not gonna derail the thread by going off topic but AI is here to stay, fact! Its use is just gonna get bigger and bigger. I see artists all the time moaning about it and boycotting bands that use it but as much as I feel for people who chose that area as a career I’m sorry but times are changing and you either adapt or find a different career path.

Our history is littered with advancements that have impacted peoples jobs in all sorts of areas so I don’t see why artists are so up in arms that they feel so hard done by as if they are part of the only industry to ever have to change with the times. Rant over.

I really can’t imagine that their videos weren’t scrutinized closely before they were included in the documentary. Otherwise, that would be unusually sloppy work.

ADRIAN SMITH: 'Even People Who Don't Really Know About IRON MAIDEN Might Be Interested' In Upcoming Official Documentary

In a new interview with Igor Miranda of Rolling Stone Brasil, IRON MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith spoke about the band's upcoming feature documentary, titled "Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition", which will hit theaters for a limited time only beginning May 7, 2026. Asked how the idea came about to...

"We are not actually in the film being interviewed like this. It's just our kind of voices on top of the narration, which I think is kind of cool. We haven't done it before. There's a few things in there that haven't been covered."

BOO! I think that's incredible lame, honestly.
 
Of course, I need to see the film before I can really judge it - but my first reaction to hearing just the band members’ voices over the narrative is that I don’t like it. So… is this going to be a film about how fans adore the band, or what?

Time constraints possibly? I mean this is a feature film so voice overs makes sense to show more content and move the narrative.

I can see the benefit. You can have much more interesting footage of what it is they're talking about rather than half the doc being the guys sitting in a studio speaking to a camera.

If you want the latter then History of Iron Maiden part I and II offers exactly that.

This is a feature film so makes no sense to have current interviews.

This is a surprise and odd. Probably a time thing and something different for them (they like this). I imagine they used some of the stuff they said in the History DVDs. :lol:

Well yeah (more animations with Eddie!), I'm more interested in rare live footage and sound.

True, but they should be shown at least once. I guess Priest would do it with their upcoming one. Also, would Maiden really do one big documentary for each era and album after they retire with them participating and after the History stuff? Who knows.

They don't need current interviews for the newer albums?

I don’t have anything against her or her friends. They seem pleasant enough. I think I am just bored of the current timeline we are on where people with the energy and time to set up a YouTube channel are held as authority figures on a subject.
