It must be somewhere in this forum, because I'm sure I read a quote here from a festival organizer who wanted to book Maiden about a year before the festival, and Rod replied that a Maiden tour is usually already set by that point.

See the interview thread. I just had this idea: The announcement of the 2027 tour hiatus was always just a marketing ploy to sell more tickets. Now they need to start laying the groundwork for backtracking. Here in the forum, some people always mention how far in advance a tour has to be...

There’s also a completely different interpretation, one that has nothing to do with emotions or age, and nothing is revealed about that: The announcement of the 2027 tour hiatus was always just a marketing ploy to sell more tickets. Now they need to start laying the groundwork for backtracking...

Leana? Fans keep telling me that. But they're also just regular fans, so I don't know if it's really true.

I agree with your opinion. That’s part of what I meant in my post from March 26. Bruce should have issued a statement thanking Roy for the collaboration and highlighting his contribution. Most bands usually write something like that and then about different plans for the future - even if there...

I also think it’s one of Bruce’s weaker solo albums. But even so, I don’t understand why that’s supposed to solve the mystery. Because Bruce talked enthusiastically about the album the whole time - and about his collaboration with Roy (at least at first) - when in reality he was thinking the...

Yes, I agree. I just find the statement strange, and I think it (would) fit better with the situation most people see Iron Maiden in.

I also think—at least at first glance—that he’s referring to SK. But then that confused me. Why is he limiting it like that? Why should there only be one more album (or maybe two) with SK? That makes a lot more sense for Maiden. Strange. But anyway: To those of you obsessed with Iron Maiden’s...

I really can’t imagine that their videos weren’t scrutinized closely before they were included in the documentary. Otherwise, that would be unusually sloppy work.

I always found it strange that there was never an official statement. Bands usually issue one because it helps curb speculation. Of course, that often has nothing to do with what the truth actually is. Hopefully not many people here would be that naive again. But something is usually...

And Janick:

He is turning his back on the usual tour schedules, as well as the usual start times.

Do you understand why he loves these paid photo ops so much? I almost thought he would do a few dates in March for his spoken word tour about his biography. I understand that better, because he just loves telling people stories and anecdotes.

Sometimes you wonder why Bruce and Leana even get along with each other.

I think this is a great idea for a remarkable final album: finally add Eddie, the not-so-unimportant character, to the characters that appear in Iron Maiden songs!
