    New Single - The Writing on the Wall

    I really liked the video & thought it was wonderfully creative & original, but my 14yr old pointed out that it def seems inspired by the video for Disturbed's remake of Land of Confusion:

    New Single - The Writing on the Wall

    I didn't mean that 613 was a reference to a Bible verse -- instead, it's one of the most important #s in Kabbalah & Judaism in & of itself: 613 is actually the total number of commandments in the Bible (248 positive, 365 negative = 613). Plus, since letters double as numbers in Hebrew, Kabbalah...

    New Single - The Writing on the Wall

    1. The video is, possibly, the best Maiden video ever. Even during their "prime" IM's videos have been more clichéd than innovative. This video was GREAT!! Really loved it. 2. The lyrics were kinda weak (especially the chorus), but just getting a new Maiden song is still something special...

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    A fully immersive VR concert would be pretty badass...

    Which song was written first... for all of the 16 albums

    An American comic (Colin Quinn, I think) has a routine on this... New York is our best city, while York is barely in your top 5. Meanwhile, London is by far your best city & New London, CT is a piece of shit. If ANY place should be New London, it's New York. Also: If Running Free was written...

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    Eh? First of all, I'm Gen-X, baby! (The forgotten, sucky generation.) Second of all, if you were focusing on the word "Boomer" or "Millennial" you were missing my point: If IM's goal is to maximize publicity for a new album, monetize its potential & activate IM's specific audience, what would...

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    The answer to (almost) every question is: money. So... if you were an internationally-beloved legacy band with a worldwide audience demo that veared significantly older, how would you maximize new album revenue? Would you do it Millenial-style with a "surprise" album drop & push for downloads...

    Maiden albums you can’t get into?

    I got into Maiden in the mid 1980s & loooooved 'em instantly. Had all their albums thru 7th Son... and then I went off to college & suddenly, IM's style of music just wasn't around. In the States, at least, the Grunge/etc. genres totally devoured Old School metal & it kinda vanished from the...

    Which song was written first... for all of the 16 albums

    Yeah, I think it was kinda like that... some in the band were paid, but others (allegedly) contributed substantially & weren't. Who knows for sure? But clearly, the lyrics were lifted... at least, a few lines... and Steve / IM had to open their wallets. I know in Hollywood, there are...

    Which song was written first... for all of the 16 albums

    Allegedly, so was Beckett! I dunno if there are standard union/guild rules for songwriting credits, or if Blaze somehow contracted it all away. Seems to me, tho', if a band fired my ass & then used my original lyrics or music to monetize a new album / tour, I might not go so softly into the...

    Which song was written first... for all of the 16 albums

    In the aftermath of the "Hallowed" / Beckett legal debacle, I kinda suspect we're gonna hear about this again. Might not be this year. Might not be this decade. But if Blaze is telling the truth...

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    I'd buy it. How bitchin' would it be if the pepperoni's are all arranged in the shape of Eddie's head? BTW, we have a big frozen pizza brand in the States called "Red Baron Pizza." Why they chose to name an Italian food product after a German military vet from a World War is beyond me... but...

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    There's pain/work/joy in writing & recording new music, and pain/work/joy to staging a long-ass global tour. Selling new music and/or selling performances are your top 2 options for monetization, generally speaking. So... why do so many older bands concentrate waaaay more on the touring than...

    Best time to catch a concert?

    Obvious answer: Whenever you can But... for those of y'all who've had the privilege & pleasure of catching multiple shows at different legs of a long, map-eating Iron Maiden tour, I was wondering: When does the band sound best? Like, does Bruce's voice deteriorate a bit throughout, so he's...
