Bruce + Roy Z :D No, I suspect Bruce is afraid that Roy Z might write a biography. Although I don't think he could legally prevent it, as long as no private information or messages or anything like that about Bruce were published.

What are your hopes or expectations regarding the videos that Bruce will be shooting this month or has already shot?

There are a surprising number of articles and comments that still mention Roy Z as the album’s producer or as Bruce’s guitarist... I think that’s because the breakdown of their relationship happened so suddenly. Bruce was still giving interviews around the time Mandrake was released, in which...

I’m not going to reply directly to this post by quoting it, because I find it completely unnecessarily confrontational and aggressive. Besides, I find it tiresome to have to write things like, “Nowhere did I say it’s ‘the same.’” My opinion is this: It was an interesting interview with Steve...

So he’s influenced by other bands – in this case, Bruce’s solo projects.

Um, didn't you actually find a sign pointing to the opposite - to dissatisfaction within the band? That's something a teacher, for example, might do with a weak student who's trying hard and has managed to get something right once in a while. It's not necessary for someone who's simply...

So, it's all about selling branded Viagra - both from Bruce solo and from Maiden? This is going to be a huge success.

Uh, no, I don't see anything at all. That post makes zero sense. Some people think there's an astroturfing campaign going on. Still, we're having a reasonable discussion about Simon as a drummer - people here are sharing their opinions and reasons why they like him or don't. No one's trying to...

I haven't found anything that Bruce has said about the new album at the ComicCon. Is anyone better at searching than I am?

If this campaign exists, and these people are still reading here, you know what? If there really were doubts within the band and they were reconsidering, you could be the deciding factor for keeping Simon. Because when a decision is close, something like this often triggers a feeling of, “Now...

I don't really understand myself right now. I'm not really looking forward to his autobiography.

There’s something to that. Maybe he himself believed that being able to play in a style very close to Nicko’s was his greatest advantage, and yet that might have been a key reason why they decided against him.

Recent surprising decisions and statements from band member have made me very skeptical about such claims. Just one example: Some people here “knew” for sure that it wasn’t like Maiden to add “Infinite Dreams” to the second leg… I now think a lot of things are possible…

Why do Iron Maiden and its (former) members favor Germany? Where can I complain officailly about this?

I wouldn't completly rule it out. :D
