    Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

    I would be glad either way - if we get 3rd leg of TFP tour or new tour in Europe in 2025. But what I don't want is a stadium tour. Maiden's light show (or Metallica or Rammstein etc) is just so much better in indoors than in oudoors during summertime in Europe. Actually, where does the Maiden...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    At the moment TFP 2024 tour enda 7th Dec. When would they announce brand new tour. I think it's easier to advertise TFP tour than brand new tour (or brand new album tour - for that they already need to have album and enough time for preparations).

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    I actually don't mind, if they do TFP 3rd leg in Europe. Chance to hear intro of CSIT, Time Machine's middle part, Alexander and Hell on Earth and many more once again is awesome and would take gladly. I only hope, that they revisit Estonia again (Baltics or Finland is also good option) and...

    Bruce Dickinson

    So does anybody know what the years on the album cover mean? 1941 and 1968? The lyrics didn't give any clue about that. Is the answer hidden in the comics story?

    Bruce Dickinson

    So finished my first listen of the album. Maybe later I will write longer review but one of the things that I must mention is repeated lines. I remember he said in one of the interviews he's not really into singing repeated chorus (Red and Black especially was mentioned). But here on the new...

    Iron Maiden in the strangest places

    I don't know if anyone has posted it but I think not. The other day I was watching TV show called Young Sheldon which is about childhood of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. And I noticed that one of the characters was wearing white Aces High t-shirt. According to show's synopsis it is...

    Bruce Dickinson

    How many of us are here who have resisted the urge and haven't listen the album? At the moment I have fought the temptation and plan to listen the album on Friday with proper quality.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Maybe the 2 singles aren't the songs we hoped from Bruce, but I can see both working really well in live setting. Rain on the Grave has nice drum rhythm which for audience is easy to clap to, I can imagine Bruce showing the lead and the whole venue following. And Ragnarok's riff gets people...

    Interesting that here Bruce says Maiden uses lots of repeating of the chorus formula and he gets bored, but now on the newest single, that is exactly what he does - repeats the chorus. Okay, but about the song - video is better than AoR, song is okay, chorus also okay, but I liked AoR's riff...

    Bruce Dickinson

    The way I see it based on the 21st century Maiden album and touring history is that boys will take some rest after 2024 Future Past tour. Then in the first half of 2025 they will go into studio to record new album. Some time between April to June Bruce will do his solo tour in US. Meanwhile all...

    Bruce Dickinson

    I feel Bruce's comments about song selection for upcoming tour are weird. He says he doesn't want to play mid tempo songs, but says he wants to play The Alchemist (which I would say is not even mid tempo, but slow tempo song). Okay, one mid/slow tempo song in the set no problem. But then setlist...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Which songs has Bruce singed during his spoken tour. Maybe he was practicing songs and we can make a tour setlist prediction based on the songs singed?

    Bruce Dickinson

    Interesting, I wonder if Run to the Hills or Trooper would have come out nowadays, would people also comment that riffs are good but nothing special. Chorus good but rather average etc. Or whatever 70-80s hit - Holy Diver, Iron Man, Master of Puppets etc. I think time is what gives songs classic...

    Music videos

    So with the recent Bruce video revealed, got me thinking. Which artist/band do you think has great, interesting videos? And which awesome music videos come to your mind? For me, I'm not Rammstein fan (music is too industrial) but what they are great is pyros and music videos. Very interesting...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    With each day passing, the chances are getting slimmer that Maiden will play in Europe next year. But it would be quite weird to play Alexander and not play it in Greece + other countries that they didn't visit this year. Maybe they will wait for Bruce's Euro shows to sell better and then...
