Yeah. 3rd leg, Alexander in Greece. Not a surprise, tbh. And I think the band will want to tour every year. But Bruce did say they want to celebrate the anniv of the band next year (with what if not a new tour or a new album?) and that Maiden's plans for 2025 are top secret (the recording of the...

Yeah it's odd for Bruce to tease a 2026 tour, but by saying ''big tour'' I think it will be a new album tour with stadiums, festivals, arenas and at least 4 months (SA,NA and Europe), like they did for TBOS album. I can't see them missing a whole year now, although they might want to give more...

Agreed, this is the most likely scenario. The album should be recorded early next year. They may or may not play a new song next year - which seems to point to a 3rd (European) leg of TFP tour. I doubt about a GME tour style, dunno why... Alexander will stay for sure. So Maiden view it more as a...

Bruce again about his future plans and Maiden's plans: ''Obviously, I'm on tour until the end of this year and next and I'm already thinking about more solo tours. And there will also be a big Iron Maiden tour in 2026 and another album, meaning there's no shortage of work.'' Source: here. He...

Gamma Ray are on tour now and there's one new artwork (a reworked version of Somewhere Out In Space?) they're showing on screen - I mean, a favorite of mine. The theme, the colors, the ancient temple, the sci-fi touch... everything is so cool and fitting for a metal band. I can imagine Maiden...

They allow themselves 3 months so it's kind of tricky, but I understand you. For the first time in the latest album I think they could have done ''more'' for a few songs, some decisions. Who knows, that would be so unexpected for a band like Maiden. They won't change the live approach in the...

For this to happen, the new album must already be recorded (when?) and they have to release it early next year, which is atypical of Maiden's habits. Spot on about something a bit different (I certainly hope so for the cover), but at the same time they will just want to write a pure Maiden...

It seems so, but I kind of doubt it. There are still more songs (maybe around 10 from all albums, including more new songs) that I think Bruce will want to play live. And the tour will continue next year, so that's good. I guess he will rotate the setlist (with the familiar songs now) for the...

This Armored Saint song has a great heavy riff! TCW vibe to it, methinks. I prefer Perfect Strangers to Child In Time. Both are iconic, but that keyboard riff in the middle (and the vocals) is too good for me. Sonata Arctica's White Pearl, Black Oceans is definitely better in terms of ideas...

Nostalgia tour for only 1 year? Unlikely. This is news to me? For SJ, this would have been possible with the 3rd leg of the Legacy tour. The next tour will most likely be Hits again. The current tour is more like an album tour and I can't seen them playing songs from a new album for so many...

I expect the same approach as the last 2 albums, although I'm not sure about a double album again, it depends on the number of Steve's long songs. Varied album for sure. That's what works best for Maiden. 10 songs, at 2 epics from Steve, 2/3 shorter songs from Adrian and Bruce, at least 1 song...

Aquarius is perfect for this spot, but its first half (it will have its good nights) and then Book Of Thel's high parts are some of the most difficult songs for Bruce to sing live. And some of his best. Love them. Nice alternation with the vocals for the latter. He can swap it with Tears Of The...

Let's see: Where Eagles Dare, whole song. Trooper, drum fills. To Tame A Land, outro part. Instrumental sections of CSIT, Deja-Vu, Moonchild, Infinite Dreams, SSOASS, TETMD (gallop). Actually, the whole SIT album. Powerslave, whole song (the drum rolls!). Rime, whole song again (especially the...

So I guess that explains it then. I think Roy is not a big fan of touring. Writing, playing and producing more. Agreed about Maiden and Roy. I don't think the production is that much different from the other 2000's albums onwards, but it wasn't expected from Roy (more or less), although he is...
