It's not just swapping out one or two different songs for band to rehearse. The stage production needs to change with the whole flat screen TV and the Power Point presentation. I don't know when they did this interview but if there are any changes, it would have been decided already. Not that...

This is what I'm trying to say: Anvil - The Story of Anvil: A story about lifelong friendship, passion, and the resilience of the underdog. About holding onto a dream long after the world has stopped listening. Some Kind of Monster: A study of the existential reality that unfolds when success...

I don't know much about the director (Malcolm Venville) and if he has an angle or scope that he wants to explore, but the title "Burning Ambition" does at least give some room for this film being a documentary with an actual topic. A phenomena that is being represented with IM as the subject...

With this latest statement, I'm more optimistic about the future too. Why would they even offer the idea of further tours "until at least 2028" if there wasn't a chance of that happening? They have obviously not decided, and there's still a possibilty there won't be any more shows if age shows...

Original press release: You know what would have helped with that? An actual trailer from the freaking documentary! If you wanted to get the hype going with this kind of announcement, actual footage is a no-brainer. I'm getting a little worried that this won't be much different from the History...

Would it hurt to have a minute and a half of actual film footage? I could even settle for 45 secs.

Your argument would work if the calendar said 2016 and everything was working like the cogs in a machine but we have just entered 2026 and the future of Maiden is very unclear. In my head, it's more likely they call it a day than record a new album and go out on a regular album tour. Not after...

People are generally both naive and lack understanding of how these things work. There's the idea of a band that plans a tour, book venues, promote gigs, sells tickets and book transfer and accommodation. Maybe in the era of the "Green Goddess" but not at this scale. You put yourself up in a...

Since Bruce has already stated that 2027 will see the release of a new solo album, I'm not sure they will fit a Maiden album in there as well (along with promo and other stuff). 2027 is probably clear in the band calendar but I'm sure Steve will work with the live stuff from Paris.

What do you mean?! There will be plenty of opportunities in 2027 to argue about the eventual Paris 2026 Live release! :fencing:

I think the 28 Years Later stuff needs its own thread. The Iron Maiden connection shows up in every review I read. Will this be the thing that fills the stadiums next summer? Is Rod friends with Danny Boyle? :)

Fucking finally! Norwegians in here - a fellow friendly neighbor (Swedish) and maidenhead needs an explanation (and possibly, an apology!). Going to Tons of Rock because I wasn't finished with the boys just yet. And Blood Incantation the day before! Two days of celebration and festivity booked...

I have seen Anthrax a few times and while I'd probably pick them before any of the "usual suspects" as warm-up, I'm surprised at how many are so pumped to see them opening for Maiden.

The floor area certainly looks depressing for a Maiden concert.

I've said it before, but hitting that 50 year mark was probably as important as life itself for Steve (well, Maiden IS his life) and replacing a drummer was a necessity to reach that goal. But I'm sure it hurt. Now, there's still a lot of work going forward with a huge second leg world tour but...
