    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    50 euros for a T-shirt that looks worse than the shitty cloth poster of the same cover my brother somehow acquired I have adorning my walls? Yeah, no thanks. What maniac thought it was a great idea to replace the logo for one? Are they so brand obsessed every new piece of merch needs to have...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    I think Only the Good Die Young could easily be about the verses being delivered with a more low, dramatic voice which maybe Bruce isn't all that fond of doing anymore. But then again Flash of the Blade also has lower verses and he obviously has no issue with that so who knows what the real...

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    I mean, if we wanna go down that route of comparing incredibly lackluster performances to find the singular gem, I'm pretty sure San Diego '98 takes the cake. And even that solely because Blaze is breaching on pulling off the impossible and singing an entire song way out of his register, and...

    Ozzy's probably the latest example of how we all in fact are bound to our mortal coil, no matter how impossible it may seem we don't live on.

    General Iron Maiden discussion

    Who the fuck did that horrendous AI upscale job on that? It looks like shit! It's like Bruce is made out of wax or something, he's so smooth and has highlights on him. Not to mention taking a perfectly good video and cropping most of the fucking frame out so you can repost it as a short.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Yeah and even those sessions had their fair share of grumbling (from Nicko at least) since not everyone was as enthusiastic about heading back in the studio in the middle of winter in Paris. I would honestly not be surprised if it turned out that it's really only Bruce who has any real interest...

    The third Blaze-sung Maiden album: lyrically a fusion of Silicon Messiah and BNW, but musically rooted in BNW?

    I believe he also offered an ultimatum: either Blaze goes or he does. Losing Nicko would've pretty much spelled the death of the band anyway at that stage so there was no path forward with Blaze at the helm.

    Interesting comment. Care to elaborate?

    Well, when you're the greatest metal drummer on earth, I think you've earned some arrogance.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    2027 seems like the most likely candidate for when the Paris live album/video will be released, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're planning on going bigger with it after such a long break with a limited cinema release and whatnot. It wouldn't be entirely inappropriate for Maiden's last...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

    Hey now, I was actually impressed at the low if nonzero number of people who replied to the announcement tweet with "what the hell WHEN'S THE AMERICAN TOUR," even though it wasn't exactly heavily emphasized (they probably should've still bolded some of the key sentences since they're paying for...

    Will he be waving the Br- I'm sorry, English flag as he puts it during it?

    For fuck's sake. Really?

    BTW this isn't particularly uncommon in the metal scene since having a draft on you while you're sweating your ass off is not a good idea. Metallica is another such example.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Turns out you really can't play heavy metal with synthesizers! e: Jesus Christ you weren't kidding about the chorus. The funny thing is, the verses are so low I'm not even sure they could lower the key without causing issues on the other end.
