    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    I went, there was no new info. Senjutsu wasn't even mentioned. The audience-questions second half seemed a bit suss, unless that theatre-full of folk in Maiden shirts really were keen at to ask questions that lead nicely into aviation anecdotes. Still, it was great to see him looking well...

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    The thing with co-opting culture or cultural appropriation etc being a problem is that it's a question of power - when a rich powerful culture takes from or profits off a smaller or endangered culture that causes people to kick off. But Japan is secure enough in itself that I can't see this...

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    Fantastic. I wonder what 'Man or Beast', 'Heaven or Hell' and 'Live Forever' were referring to?

    New Single - The Writing on the Wall

    I'm sure I'm being stupid here but to my eyes the four biker Eddies of the Apocalypse seem to be five Eddies. First, there's Killers Eddie with his axe, then Reaper Eddie, Cyborg Eddie and Powerslave Eddie. These seem to be the four horsemen written around the goat - Powerslave Eddie unleashes...

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    If this is intended to be the final Maiden album, a concept album about the fall of Babylon would be a pretty metal way to mark the end of their recording career

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    Bruce has talked about how he has identified with Nebuchanezzar at times, eg at William Blake's grave () so if there is a 'fall of Babylon' concept, it does seem likely that it came from him (and no doubt unrelated, but Frank Turner is another Blakean and has written songs like I Believe You...

    Prediction: Does Maiden do one more album? And what's the theme if so?

    Eddie would certainly make a great Green Man, that wild pagan spirit of the woods

    History of Iron Maiden Part 4...

    Yeah, in the ebook version there's a postscript where the journalist talks about the next time he saw Nicko, and Nicko pushed him up against the wall and he thought he was going to get a kicking, but of course it was just Nicko mucking about and they went off and drink ensued. Lots of booze...

    History of Iron Maiden Part 4...

    He says a lot more in a 1993 Kerrang interview with Jason Arnopp (which is part of an ebook of Arnopp's metal interviews on Amazon called From the Frontlines of Rock - well worth a read). It starts with Nicko talking about Bruce, "He's going his way, we're going ours. Fuck 'im - let's get a new...
