Your not wrong at all, just accept that people may disagree with your opinion.

I’ve got all the iron maiden compilation albums but a lot were bought just for the sake of completion for my collection. There not really worth playing, especially now when you can just make up a playlist. The best one for me is my 2disc CD of best of the beast. Mine is the digital book and...

And there’s your problem. It’s 2025 and both times and the fans themselves have changed. There’s a whole generation of metal fans going to concerts that weren’t even born in the 80’s or even in the 90’s. I agree the trooper VIP is a total waste of money, especially when you see VIP offerings...

Yes but the band were likely playing at the O2 which holds a crowd less than a third of the amount going to the London Stadium. Plus most fans would just head to the O2 to grab a beer, only a selection of hardcore fans would make a stop off at the cart and horses first. With over 60k people all...

I would like to check this out at the London gig but with over 60k maiden fans descending on Stratford then I’m guessing this and the cart & horses will be absolutely mobbed so think I’ll give them both a miss. Plenty of other decent bars around the area.

What’s this comment about? You asked a question and it was answered.

Interesting post. I was a massive anathema fan back in the day. Just as my taste in metal was edging towards the more extreme styles along comes the debut albums from the likes of my dying bride and Anathema. These blew my mind and along with paradise lost and decomposed I was totally into the...

I would love to see Rush back on the stage. I wouldn’t want them to do any new music without Neil but a big concert or small tour honouring the Rush and Neil Peart legacy with a guest drummer.

Your probably right, it was the first song that popped into my head when thinking of the whole band contributing.

But I don’t see the desire to write a new album either. Senjutsu is technically 6 years old this year and with the upcoming tour I can’t see them having any time to record a new album over the next year. Every time Maiden get some down time Steve runs off and books British lion tours, Adrian...

Thing is if Maiden don’t release a live album from TFP tour then that just says they are done releasing anything musical anymore. No live albums and no studio albums. All we’ll get is loads more t-shirts and other assorted tat released and maybe a new trooper beer variant. To me it feels like...

I’ve bought your previous books and there not cheap but that’s it now, officially done buying anything you release. Sick of spending over £50 + postage for a book then seeing an updated new edition released later down the road. You’re 100% holding back stuff on purpose just to add to a new...

I really doubt anyone fell for a new maiden album coming called treasure island announced on the 1st of April. Personally wasn’t complaining as such just think why bother, it’s so fake it’s not even funny. It would be much better if the effort was put in to really make it sound like it could...

Looks like roadrunner are finally reissuing Symbolic on vinyl for the albums 30th anniversary. Been wanting this album for ages on vinyl, had my cd version ever since it was released but now have the vinyl on pre order. Hopefully this will piss off all the scalpers flogging copies on eBay for...
