I was a little surprised she hasn't been engaged before. Depends if they have more to say than "I don't care". It is a little hypocritical that someone cares enough to announce that they don't care, but people are still allowed to express their opinion, even if it doesn't matter as much as...

I mean, it isn't subtle, but if you didn't know Rob was gay and had no other knowledge of his gay innuendo-laden songs, would you really still think it was about a big cock? When I first heard the song I knew Rob was gay and knew a fair bit of Priest's music but I still didn't pick up on what...

I'm only 30, it's not often I "feel old", but I was playing a Sporcle quiz today that referred to the 4th Gen iPod Nano as "retro tech". That was my first ever personal music player, I got it when I was thirteen. The audacity. <_<

It should've been a big deal for me and should hold a special place, being the first new album Maiden released after I became a fan, but it just left no impression and took me a long time to come around to it. I don't remember my exact thoughts on it at the time, I had really liked El Dorado and...

Aren't Spotify streams worth like fractions of a penny?

It really is... they're much more fired up now. :D Seriously though, I might have only been seeing Maiden live since 2013, but London 2025 is one of the most energetic performances I've ever seen from them, maybe second only to the London show I saw in 2018. And saying Dave is lost in his own...

Interesting to see, though Powerslave and TBoS are slightly skewed by having one song that's significantly longer than the rest. Ancient Mariner is around double the length of its parent album's next longest track, then Empire of the Clouds is five minutes longer than The Red and the Black and...

Titanium Tart shows cannot be compared to the heavy touring schedule of Iron Maiden. Yes, Nicko is capable of holding his own... if he's playing shorter sets, isn't leaving the State, is taking long breaks in the set to talk to the audience and is playing four shows a year.

That's most likely Adrian, who mentioned years ago (I remember him saying it around Maiden England 2013 but he may have said it even further back than that) that Maiden were "choking the life out of songs" by playing them too fast.

I agree, I don't think his drumming was anywhere near the catastrophe some around here were making it out to be. Though there were some errors, they weren't any better or worse than Bruce's timing and lyric issues so, if Nicko were being serious, he'd have no right to say it. Like I said, it's...

It's just Nicko's British humour. Bruce himself referenced his own mistakes in the recent video marking the end of the tour, I doubt he'd be that cut up over Nicko's comment. And, even if it was due to health problems, Nicko made his fair share of errors on the last tour so he hasn't got much...

No hurt feelings over here, I just think we need to think a bit more clearly before we start running wild with rumours of arguments and ill-will within the band when we don't have any evidence to suggest that's the case.

It says the date of termination was the 7th December and this form was "received for filing" on the 2nd July. Sounds like the termination has been official since December and this form wasn't filed, and thus able to be viewed by randos on the internet, until now. I'd actually like some more...

100% agree. No disrespect to Nicko at all, I certainly noticed the differences in Simon and Nicko's playing and would say Nicko is a more competent drummer (not that I'm a big authority on drums anyway), but I never felt there was anything "missing" from the show at all.

Which one? The one that said "Nicko, we all love you too!"? The one that said "Thank you for being an irrepressible force behind the drum kit for 42 years and my friend even longer", "You are deserving of all the accolades I'm sure these fans will give you", "the band and I all have a thousand...
