I'm guessing a whole new big Eddie. Wouldn't mind Mummy and your Phantom idea is interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the original punk Eddie this time around.

So do you think they will introduce Simon in some way before the start of the tour? Maybe a clip from the rehearsals and a bit of a spoken introduction of who he really is... Or do we get the first taste of the new Iron Maiden drummer at the first gig like any other session musician?

Looks like Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg Sweden. Nice! Probably doesn't mean much though...

You can now get a piece of Ed Force One, BOS edition for the (odd?) price of 66.66 EURO. https://www.aviationtag.com/en-eu/pages/aviationtag-x-iron-maiden-the-ed-force-one-edition

If it was today (or maybe right before being a far right nationalist could get you into office), there would probably be a steeper hill to climb if you did what Phil did onstage. It was 9 years ago and he made a public apology which seem to have worked out. If there would be any hesitation on...

It's like they were planning how they would arrange it when he stepped on stage. It didn't bring anything to the song and you can't even hear Bruce. I don't know what to make of it to be honest.

Why oh why would they ever plan for someone else to take the drummer seat for 2026?! Just because they left that part out when it was announced? Simon must be beyond terrible if that would ever be put out on the table.

Hopefully this will stop the talk about this and that person being cold and not showing love. This is a very heartfelt good bye! Thank you for posting.

Well people have been shouting JOE LAZARUS not just on this forum but all over the internet for quite some time. It's not hard to pick up and make it reality. That goes for fans (obviously) but could also affect family members. I'm not sure there ever was an audition for this.

Ok, best case scenario IMO: RFYL is the actual end for Maiden, not just touring, and it has already been decided internally. In a way, Nicko is still present but not physically. He does a few songs here and there at bigger concerts. It's a celebration and other past members are remembered as...

Hard agree. He left the stage just hours ago.

In my mind, I don't think I've come up with a name that made me the least exited, so the pick feels whatever. It's not about the ability to play, I'm sure it's going to be fine, it's about replacing a character so universally loved by both fans, the band and most people that comes his way. It's...

Stockholm night #1 is slow. There are premium front standing left and a lot of seats. I'm expecting night #2 to sell out shortly. There are a few reasons for this imo. The first night is on a thursday which, you know, isn't perfect for people travelling and working. A bigger factor I think is...

Because if this was any other band, I would have accused them of enhancing the live experience with some shady singback tactics. I pray you are right.

Sorry if I disturbed you in your mourning.
