In my 26 years of being a Maiden fan, there are a few products released by the bands that have blown me away. The ones that come to mind are The Early Days DVD, The X Factor 2017 vinyl, and the Beast Over Hammersmith vinyl. This book is probably the best product I have ever bought with Maiden’s...

I just reserved it at my local Waterstones. It’s currently listed at £25. I was going to ask a similar thing. He sure does spit out a lot of books. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Anything of this album. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-rEG5r7gN9NwWFEK31u-mSZL1ucJg61v&si=B64KhB3AockcYufS

I’m glad that people on here agree with me! I often feel that it is viewed as the ugly step-child of the reunion era (and yes I am purposefully referencing the cover here). But to me it is a great album.

I hear still hear the cries of fans who spotted it on the lighting desk during the tour promo video. They echo throughout eternity…

As much as I would have loved to have heard Infinite Dreams, there has to be a good reason it has been dropped twice. Either Bruce finds it hard to sing or the groove is hard to establish. It is one of those songs that treads the line tempo wise. It’s either too fast for Bruce to sing or it...

I think it’s a great setlist. Other than Aces High, I think the band really knocked it outer park with this one. Sure I preferred the setlists for LOTB and TFP tours, but I feel they were aimed at more hardcore fans like me. This is a just a big mix up of the original 3 History tours and...

That’s a cool interview. I am glad he still has a passion for his old guitars.

I might be controversial here, but I have never had any interest in seeing the guys bust out old guitars onstage. I can watch old videos from the 80s if I want to see Adrian’s original Jackson. At their age, I just want them to see them playing something comfortable, that stays in tune and...

Also being a band who is not composed of complete twats helps.

I enjoyed the gig. I have seen them a few times. Their biggest problem is how patchy their catalogue is post-Argus. IMO they need to play more songs on their setlist and cut out the songs that are full of guitar-wankery. I don’t need to hear an 87-minute version of the Phoenix with 78 solos...

I think Bruce missed a golden opportunity to record his solo album between the years of 2013 and 2014. He could’ve easily done it after the Maiden England tour in 2013 and before the summer tour in 2014. I suppose the problem would’ve been its release would’ve clashed with the Book of Souls...
