It's always cool to see such art videos. Btw, the Eddie from the poster could have been used for From Here To Eternity single cover, it would fit. Adrian promised some new stuff for the fans to discover, and that the story will be from 1980, so some rare footage even for one song will be great.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-battle-beast-performs-live-with-new-singer-marina-la-torraca-for-first-time Marina fits in well enough. Let's hear some studio material too.

I wouldn't say that about Steve with BL, but he said they are due for a new album. What about Maiden then, Steve? Ofc I'm not comparing the two processes and pressure. It's normal for a person to not be that passionate with stuff with the age, and Maiden indeed changed their views since 2012...

I'm curious to hear it, but TFF is the last album with a powerful sound to say (not like the previous one, but still), so I think that's good. Less muddy sound is always better. I think the rougher sound suits it, but maybe a more polished sound (effects and touches here and there) would be...

I doubt it, for small parts too. Maybe for the bonus songs. Speaking of keyboards which we expect to have a prominent role in at least some new songs, I can see a keytar solo by Mistheria for one song. It's possible, right?

It makes no sense, that's their preferred approach (since 2000 or 2006), plus they can always change their style a bit, return to the roots to say, and Simon could bring something new, they just don't seem as enthusiastic, unfortunately. With Nicko in the band it probably would have been the...

Yes, but new music in 6-7 years is a lot to ask for even now? Simon's energy should make them excited about new music, but I think Steve's mostly hesitant to record without Nicko. Bored? Then why is he working on his demo ideas... To prepare the fans, to give it more attention, to boost...

https://www.rollingstone.it/musica/interviste-musica/gli-iron-maiden-e-larte-di-conquistare-il-pubblico/1021883/ New interview with Adrian. Is there a possibility of a new Maiden album? Not at the moment. There are no plans. We still record in a very old-school way, all in the same place at...

https://www.instagram.com/ironmaiden_italia/p/DVaml0UDF3D/ From a new interview with Adrian: “It'll be pretty much the same as last year. I don't know, we might do a couple of song changes, but I'm not sure— we haven't discussed it yet. But yeah, it'll be pretty much the same. I mean, the last...

They want to continue with the project (duh), maybe some stuff next year, or is it ''too soon''. Adrian with a new fast melodic lick for Wasted Years' intro riff live (before the start of the solo, he did it twice). It's cool, I dig it, I wish he'd use it in the studio for a song. As Adrian...

Definitely a possible approach if AOB had a mystical-vibe cover like Bruce's other metal solo albums. It would have been much better (and for the songs' themes) and fitting for the 90s, a statement cover. The same style would also be perfect for TOS and TMP covers. Too bad he doesn't do reissued...

Smith/Kotzen - live Italy 2026 This show is great, awesome footage and good sound (especially for Adrian's solos). The musicianship in the band is amazing. Richie is quite a technical player, Bruno is a great drummer, while Julia is a leader on bass (she also seems like a very nice person)...

I think it will remain the same more or less, with the traditional little experiments for him. I expect heavier sound (and maybe faster metal, not sure). A longer keys part as an intro to a mystical-sounding song would be cool, for example. Yeah. It's solid and very interesting and varied, but...

Nicko said that they all have their opinion about the RRHOF, but it's a nice recognition in the end. Regardless of the success, they should have included Blaze if they included Dennis, or both of them not. The voting and induction is a mess. They don't need this ''award'', if they get it, they...

Some curious info from Nicko: It seems that the 3rd leg of LOTB and TFP tours weren't originally planned, it would have been SJ album tour for over 2 years. Maybe playing the whole album at first. He said this is not likely the end, but everyone is catching up his age. The year off is good for...
