Interesting that he doesn't announce anything on his Facebook page, while the fans are compiling these dates. He could have created a buzz by announcing one festival after another there. Instead of releasing a complete list of shows all at once at some point.

If it is really people feeling scorned about who got the job, it is not weird at all - it is just envy. It is not right or nice, but unfortunately, there will always be some people who do things like that out of envy. However, the question of why such an effort is made again right now could...

I am not surprised by how Iron Maiden went about finding their new drummer. That is how they operate. But I don't like that retirement age is always given as the reason. There are so many counterexamples of “old” bands that are clearly in the final phase of their careers. They have still brought...

There is an interesting trend to note: In earlier statements and interviews, both live performances in 2027 and a new album were denied. For some time now, both have begun to be taken back a bit.

I think he would have had hundreds of different ways to curse and rant, and everyone would have found it understandable or even funny. What he said was one of the few options to made some uninvolved people feel insulted.

Maybe he will play the festivals with the old setlist, then the album will come out, and the tour at the end of the year will feature new songs. Hence the two parts.

As far as I know, there are still no conclusions why the power outage occurred, but I wouldn’t be surprised if at least part of the blame lay with poor organisation or a lack of preparation of La Défense Arena. When I was deciding whether to go, I was surprised by how many very negative reviews...

I have not seen a show yet this year, but I wonder how it is that the perceptions differ so much. On the one hand, that everyone on stage seems to be having a blast and are totally fired up; on the other hand, that it seems like they are just going through the motions because they have to.

So Bruce has completely changed his mind about how guest appearances should be viewed.

It indeed crossed my mind a few times lately that Rod seems to play a bigger role in these kinds of decisions than he used to. Maybe he was of the opinion that fans would be disappointed if a classic like Aces High wasn not included on the live DVD, and that it would be a flop otherwise? :ahhh:

In that case though, Steve lied in his interview. He cannot have been ootvoted then as he claimed. 3 to 2, or maybe even 4 to 2. (Simon will surely want the job and the income, why not?)

I wonder what Steve would have wanted to be different. Judging by the reviews so far, I believe it is an uncritical documentary of a success story. (And he said in his interview, he would have done it differntly.)

Bruce and Slash, but I haven't been able to find quotes from Slash saying what a great album Bruce's new album is going to be...:D

Probably a bit surprising (?), but I never got the impression that Iron Maiden fans are interested in Bruce's comics, with a few exceptions maybe.

Rainmaker (Iron Maiden Tribute) will play on 9 May 2026 in Belgrade. Special Guests: Dennis Stratton (ex-Iron Maiden) and Chris Dale (Bruce Dickinson band)
