After seeing them at Earl’s Court it was a surreal experience watching them in such a small venue. Like you said it was more like a club gig. My first experience of the band live was with blaze on the x-factor and VXI tours at the Brixton academy but when Bruce came back I was lucky enough to...

Yes I know, I did edit the post.

I’m pretty sure they have played this live. I’ll need to double check but back in 2000 when I was a member of the fan club there were two things I remember. First up the fc convention in London the day after the Earl’s Court gig. Last time I think the band ever attended one of these. Then there...

Well that’s a stupid reply as you’re quite right, if he decides he doesn’t feel like singing anymore then he shouldn’t. If a band doesn’t feel like making an album then they shouldn’t. It’s not up to the fans to decide what a band does or doesn’t do. Bands don’t owe their fans anything but a...

I was a fan long before BNW came out and I don’t remember many people bashing the production of the album at the time. To be fair I wasn’t very active on forums as 25 years ago the internet wasn’t as available as it is now and social media didn’t exist but amongst the fans I knew and spoke with...

I’ve said I think they’ll be no new album and I stand by that, despite others not agreeing. I hope I’m proved wrong I really do as I’d love a new album but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Here’s my take on Maidens future: I think once Nicko hung up the drum sticks the rest of the band...

I’m not happy at all. I’d love to have another Maiden album. I just think that they boys are too interested in touring at the moment and due to their ages it’s very unlikely we will get another album. A maiden album is a big event. A new Eddie a whole marketing campaign and new merch plus a...

Lol, why do we have to read between the lines? You’ve been told there’s no plans for a new album. That’s it, you’ve got the info you need. Anything else is pure speculation by a bunch of fans who are so desperate for a new album they will just assume anything that fits their narrative that...

I love SFSGSW, the only thing that hurts the album to my ears is that god awful cover of anarchy in the uk. I could stomach the song a lot more if it was say right at the end of the album but putting the track at number 3 in between set the world afire and Mary Jane was a stupid idea and...

Cheers. Your right not much activity lol. Maybe there’s not a lot of testament fans in this forum, shame as I love them and was hoping to read what others thought of the new album. Never mind, back to listening to Para Bellum then :shred:

Done a quick search and can’t believe their isn’t a Testament thread :oops: Maybe I missed it and didn’t search properly but theirs nothing on the front page of this sub forum so even if their was a thread no one’s been talking about them recently which considering their new album dropped today...

My first Maiden show was on the X-factour at the Brixton academy in London. Cracking night as I was a big fan of the support band that night, My Dying Bride. Can’t remember much about the stage set up but I do remember Blaze being rooted to the same spot all night just fist pumping while...

So you had one experience with Nicko once for a few seconds and judged him as completely rude an arrogant all the time :facepalm: I love how fans are so quick to judge an entire personality over a whole lifetime just because for the few seconds they demand attention and want an autograph said...

The uk date TBC is a curious one. I’d love it if it’s a sabbath type one off with some big names announced all playing some of their own stuff and each band does a cover of a maiden song not on the maiden setlist. That would be something very special. Be extra cool if they stream it too and...

Looks AI to me. Still like it though and I’m not one of these fans who jumps on any band using AI but this does look like someone typed into Chat GPT “sound of perseverance by death, anniversary” and this is what popped up.
