    Bruce Dickinson

    The social media post for the single says that the B-Side is If Eternity Should Fail (Demo), so this is probably what Steve originally heard and decided it should be co-opted for Maiden. I'd expect in that case it has been cut from Bruce's album.

    Clearly Bruce doesn't read your posts about him :p

    Apparently this poster has leaked, here's hoping it's accurate!

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    The recording of Senjutsu was the worst-kept secret in metal music, if the band had been in the studio recently we would probably have conclusive proof. I hope I'm wrong though!

    The list definitely has some issues, but imo Hetfield is one of the best and most important rhythm guitarists in metal, his downpicking stamina is/was insane and that style of play is equally as influential as the Maiden gallop.

    Judas Priest

    Very good first single, looking forward to the album now! The Sneap production continues to work well for Priest, they still have a punchy and powerful edge.

    I could see him headlining the 3rd stage at Download or something along those lines, would much rather see him play a (relative to Maiden) small venue though!

    The Future Past tour 2023

    A source who has correctly leaked the headliners for the last few years has said they will be there, either way we should find out in the next few weeks as we are getting into announcement season for the UK and European festivals.

    I'm sure the payday is sweetening that pill a bit!

    How many people on average show up to the speaking tour dates, a few hundred, 1000? You'd expect at least twice as many people would go to an actual Bruce gig. I would guess he would do somewhere like Kentish Town Forum (2300 capacity) or the Roundhouse (3300) in London.

    There is Iron Maiden underwear as well, I know this because someone got me some for Christmas a couple of years ago!

    Have to say I prefer the many brand tie-ins popping up to Bruce inserting Trooper Beers into the Wasted Years chorus, if its external to the music then at least its easy enough to ignore if you're not interested.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Multiple arena gigs across the country is much better than 1 or 2 stadium shows in my opinion, the Maiden stage show is much more effective indoors and it allows for big fans to see more shows. There is also a perception in the music industry that any event that doesn't sell out is a flop, even...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    First of all, thank goodness that Nicko has managed to recover his health, let alone any of his drumming ability. Minor or major a stroke is a terrible thing to go through. Second of all, some commentors on Youtube, metal news comments sections etc. should be more mindful of the fact that you...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    A user on a different music forum who correctly leaked the headliners and many other artists playing at Download 2023 well in advance claims that Maiden will be headlining the festival next year, not a confirmation by any means but perhaps a semi-credible rumour that they will be doing the...
