Forget my previous comment about EddFest. Just copied this from the official website from an announcement they made in Feb this year about the 2 dates in Japan in November: “And now, the band are returning once more with their spectacular new production, to perform for the first time at the...

When EddFest was announced wasn’t it explicitly stated that this was the last chance to see Maiden in the uk until 2028. I’ll have to check but I’m sure they said something along these lines and if it did I can’t imagine them playing any shows with no uk date at all. From what I remember even...

I’ve watched it now and reading your post I found your recollections very different to mine. For one I thought the documentary made it very clear at numerous points that not only was it Steve’s band but that he was the main driving force that has pushed the band throughout the years. Also it...

My opinion couldn’t be more different. Don’t get me wrong I love BNW and think it’s a tremendous album but right from the off I could tell some of these songs had been written before Bruce and Adrian rejoined. DOD on the other hand sounded way more fresh and powerful to my ears. It truly...

Executive producer credits don’t mean a person had any involvement in the actual product. Executive producer is just a made up title anyway, it’s usually used to credit people who have a financial interest in the product either as a backer or just someone that is entitled to receive payment...

Very true.

Another thief. This is one of the reasons why some bands like Maiden don’t release dvds/blu rays anymore because they know theirs a huge amount of people out their who think they are entitled to watch and listen to stuff for free. Don’t worry about the hard work the band puts into stuff and...

No I never did torrent. I firmly believe that artists should be paid for what they create. I don’t care if iron maiden are millionaires, to me that just means they’ve created a product that loads of people want so good for them. I never used torrent and never pirated anything, music or films...

lol, no. If you wanna watch it buy it. Don’t ask people who’ve already bought it to upload it on YT so others can watch for free. All kinds of wrong.

Has anyone seen this? I’ve ordered one as a little birthday treat to myself as it’s released in December just in time for my 50th in December. I think it’s quite nice. Not sure how much I’ll actually wear it as I have a few much more expensive watches I normally wear but its still a nice...

Agree with this and to add that when Carcass released heartwork that was a complete game changer of an album and practically paved the way for melodic death metal to take off as a sub genre of death metal. That album was huge. I was already a big carcass fan when this album dropped and I...

I will be pretty pissed off if they swap out one song for infinite dreams. This is amongst my favourite Maiden songs and has been ever since I first heard Seventh son back in 1991 and became a fan and despite the huge amount of shows I’ve been too I’ve never seen it live. The only uk show this...

Well that’s a fucking annoying waste of time! Booked tickets for a 10:45am showing at a cinema in Peterborough only to get there and be told they cancelled the showing due to a lack of tickets sold and only have afternoon showings. That’s me done then as no other showings local to me are...

If we are going to get another album then it really needs to be written and recorded early 2027. If they can get it done within the first 3/4 months then those that want to spend time with their families can go off and do that and Bruce and Adrian have some time to spend with their other musical...

I think Adrian and Bruce definitely fancy a break. Not from music but from Maiden. Bruce is definitely buzzed again about his solo career and Adrian has other stuff to do so I reckon they both voted to take time off. Dave definitely voted as he likely wants to spend time with his family and...
