The publicist/management apparently had stated what questions were off limits. But I often wish that more follow-up questions would be asked. For example, how did Bruce come to change his opinion about guest musicians so drastically? There were guest musicians on “The Mandrake Project,” and...

Oh no, they're planning to retire! :D;)

I hope we can agree that this is not the normal way of dealing with such situations. The goal is always to prevent something like this from happening. Sometimes, however, things go off the rails nevertheless... And in the case of Maiden, it doesn't have to be bad blood. But a little more to the...

That's really no problem at all. Anyone who has to give interviews in a professional setting has more than enough phrases at their disposal to answer a question while remaining neutral. For example, our new and former band members are both great, they are different, and they both bring their...

The vibes and atmosphere between all the band members seemed exceptionally good on this tour. If anyone disagrees, I can't imagine what their reasoning would be. Steve was indeed less solid than usual, but there could be many reasons for that. Maybe he's got some personal issues, etc., etc.

Then I can't tell. I thought he really found “Senjutsu” that strong. Yes, but I was never actually in a love triangle with Bruce and his wives, so no ex-lover. (Just kidding.)

It's difficult to interpret statements like that from Bruce in interviews. He's just always extremely enthusiastic. I fell for it with the “Mandrake Project.” :D I eagerly waited for some songs that I now find poorly done and don't listen to anymore.

I would support Hannover, but I cannot disclose why. Therefore, you do not have to believe it and are free to ignore this post.

I now see “Sonata” as a bit of a bonus song too, which is funny because I had such high expectations of it beforehand, based on what Bruce had said about it.

If it was really about having the hit “Run to the Hills” in the title somehow, it wouldn't have been hard to make it sound more like an anniversary, like “Still Running to the Hills” or something.

Yes, for such a big tour, everything is booked and finalised a year in advance, so you need to know what you want at least a year and a half in advance.

Just my guess, because now would be a good time, given all the interest and hype surrounding the current tour. The book and documentary won't be out for a while.

I think you could say that the interview wasn't very smart. Perhaps surprising for someone who has been a professional musician for a long time. Because it's perfectly clear that in the situation Maiden and Nicko are in right now, certain comments would be picked up, and that it's better to be...

Further tour dates will be announced soon, right?
