    18th Studio Album discussion

    Given the band plan in advance, I don't see a scenario in which they have already decided that Senjutsu was the last album. If they had, there would be a more definitive answer and even though he has a tendency to let his mouth run away with itself (understatement of the century), I also think...

    New Bruce Interview

    Ironically in a video where Steven managed to create a negative online response in his fan pages by being interviewed by a channel run by a right wing reactionary gobshite who platforms the likes of David Icke. Unfortunately, there's one particular person in his management that is deep into this...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    I don’t see them doing it, but it’s not an insurmountable problem to overcome. Just addding the word ‘featuring’ to 'BNW to New Album' (they’d almost certainly skip the Blaze albums) changes expectations quite a bit. If they really wanted to do it it’s easily worked around.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Reading that made me feel like Bruce in that Mullet Man interview (which I grant you, is politically ironic). Still, at least there's someone the nonsense in Age of Innocence appeals to.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    I do slightly wonder if some of the reason for the harder line on filming this time around is less about wanting to see less phones, and more about the fact that when filmed on one rather than the expensive professional cameras used for the official channels, the screens on stage can end up...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    According to reports from the gig, the merch staff covered the wrong ones. They were supposed to cover Rime and Clairvoyant.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    No complaints from me with the setlist, especially as I'm taking my 7 year old to his second Maiden show in London so it's a great way for him to get so many of the big songs he wants to hear all in one hit. Litterally my only fear right now would be that the big Eddie is done entirely on...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    At the time I remember thinking that reverting to the GMETID Eddie was still a worse option than carrying on with what they had, and even now comparing the two I'm still of that mind to be honest. The actual concept was good, especially as at that point in time they'd be somewhat distancing...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I wouldn't picture it for this tour covering these specfic albums, but I could easily imagine some special shows in the future doing it with later material. When they announced the RFYL tour, I wasn't totally surprised by the focus on the first 9 albums, largely because I'd been thinking down...

    Bruce Dickinson

    That’s what Mick asserts in one of his podcasts. Specifically he points to Bruce not being tattooed while most of the rest of Maiden, and most specifically Steve and Nicko, are. He basically claims that that was where the idea for the song came from with a ‘I want artistic integrity rather than...

    Bruce Dickinson

    If I remember right, Sixx said the song was about him in his book the ‘The Heroin Diaries’, although I haven't verified that as it's not a book I’m in any way inclined to read. That said, Mick Wall has a very different account (which I don’t totally buy it as he has an inconsistent record with...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    While he normally gives a glib answer along the lines of 'to piss off all the old people who can’t grow their hair anymore', i'd assume that it's at least in part related to him no longer being required to cut it shorter since stopping being a commerical pilot due to age.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I get the reason for the different title and wanting to differenciate it fro the original, but I'm not that sure how well doing it this way is going to work for the other albums. Skunk-ier-works? He'd probably have been better off using a subtitle like Jethro Tull do with their remastered...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Though he positioned his answer very much as being about new music in the setlist for the shows, saying British Lion will be playing a couple of new songs and some 'other ideas' while Maiden is the same setlist. In terms of recorded music, his answer was the same for both bands, just being 'with...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Now that I would have much preferred as the album cover. Praying that when/if we get a new album that it won't be another Eddie on a black background affair.
