The interviewer obviously didn’t do his homework on Adrian first, and seemed embarrassingly ignorant about metal in general, but Adrian was a good sport and kept the interview interesting regardless.

actually Sam Dunn knows Maiden and metal very much, he is the man behind Flight 666, Headbanger's Journey and that Rush documentary and all... But on this video, he thinks he's interviewing Satriani or Vai. Not the right questions to be asked to Maiden members. Maiden guys dont like fancy questions and they dont try to look intellectual for the sake of the interview. Still yeah, H is doing his best

Huh. His questions made him sound clueless, like someone who had no idea how the blues influenced metal, and who had apparently heard of Helloween enough to bring them up twice, but didn’t already know that Adrian had cowritten songs with Kai Hansen for Michael Kiske’s Instant Clarity album. It was an embarrassingly bad interview performance if he knew better and was just playing dumb.

Steve says in a recent interview that NPFTD was influenced by Bruce's debut solo album. Curious to know. Really strong album!!!
''I think it’s a really strong album. At the time, we had gotten so big, with all the grandiose shows, that we were trying to go back to basics a little bit. If I'm totally honest, I think it was slightly influenced by Bruce's solo album, Tattooed Millionaire [also released in 1990, earlier], where he was trying to get a bit more basic. There are a couple of songs on there where he sings a bit rougher. I was thinking I could write something where he could sing with that gruff delivery as well. If someone says they don’t like something, that makes me embrace it even more. You’ve got to believe in what do, don’t you?''
Live sounding production would have made it worse (like Tailgunner video), Steve seems to want everything to be ''live''. Why would you want a live noise in the studio, I don't get it, it's so bad.

Interview with Rod.
The main reason is that this is just a great live band, something that was pretty clear from the start. Of course, we always put on the best show we can with the best art we can do. And as a bonus, you get Eddie. The band are also in very good shape and have a ton of on-stage energy. They care about the fans. I guarantee that every one of the band gives everything every night with incredible consistency. That is what brings people back. But it’s also rooted in what I said about our relationship with our fans. We’ve never wavered in our commitment to them, and equally importantly, in our commitment to what we do. We have effectively created our own universe with Eddie at the forefront, and stayed true to the vision Steve Harris has always had for the band. The band have also always known that there is a clear set of boundaries: what they do and what I do. Sure, they meet at certain points, but ultimately, I don’t go in the studio, for example, or question the music, unless they ask me to, which they haven’t since the first album. And they don’t get in the way of my planning, tour scheduling, marketing, and the vision for Eddie and the band, though of course, I keep them informed. It’s a fantastic relationship. But in a way, they don’t know any other style of management, and neither do I. It certainly makes business far less complicated when it’s like this.

Very interesting interview, thanks for sharing it. The bit about fighting ticket scalping is really informative.
