Bruce very diplomatic as always: “We will probably see you again, but it definitely won’t be in fucking Louisville.” He reportedly referred to the festival as a “hell hole.”

So your opinion is Steve replaced someone you could not maintain a consistent tempo with someone who can not maintain a consistent tempo?

I already asked this, but it seems nobody has an answer? Is there any recent evidence that Steve still has the ‘British-only’ policy? Yes, Rush were dormant for a long time, but that is why it makes me a bit sad when some people say that Maiden didn’t want a top drummer who would challenge...

I have no problem with Simon. To me, the band sounds fine so far. But if we are honest, we have to admit that this sort of on-stage coaching for a drummer in one of the biggest metal bands is odd. Whether it is help or praise. With Nicko, it was a situation that can’t be compared to this.

No, Steve has already started to backtrack on that – see the post above. Perhaps more Eddfest?

Is there any recent evidence that Steve still has this ‘must be British’ rule? (It’s not something you couldn’t change your mind about, after all.)

So when the new album is announced “completely out of the blue”, we can say we had already figured it out back in September 2026. :nana:

Didn't people on this forum previously insist that this was impossible – that anyone who believes that must know nothing about Maiden, and so on – because you can't fill stadiums that way?

I assume he means it seriously, but it sounds so strangely over the top that it seems as if he is actually mocking Bruce. How unfortunate! :bigsmile:

I am not sure anymore. There have been a few decisions recently where I would have said, ‘That is atypical, that is not Maiden.’ Do you think Nicko’s opinion of Simon’s performance is influencing Steve?

Isn’t that an odd timing, rather unfavourable for his vocal performance on the album?

Bruce “doesn’t remember much from his performance with Billie Joe Armstrong” headlines say. ? Why not? I don’t want to click in case it is just stupid clickbait.

It means that one or a few people work together to spread a particular opinion under different accounts across various parts of the internet, in order to create the impression of a widespread sentiment. But Joe Lazarus is absolutely delighted with his career. And we all know that everyone’s...
