RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

Yes, I would say so too. That makes the rumor even stranger, because it seems as if it could be that he had a motivation crisis at one point, but has now overcome it for some time already.

They are free to believe that if they want.

On the other hand we have camera footage for every show of the tour, ranging from potato quality to pretty damn decent, and Dave is practically glowing in most of them. He's all smiles - even more than usual.

Not only that, he's completely on fire and his solos were highlights for each song.

Who knows? Maybe he's not enjoying touring, but then he's a fantastic actor hiding it under amazing performances and great energy every night.

There was even a video posted of him at the end of the FP tour where he was in fine form discussing the tour.

Dave has sounded much more inspired on the last couple of tours. I think from 2022 onwards he was more motivated.

I agree. It kind of reminds me of how much more Bruce has been out there talking about Maiden (well, marketing Maiden) from 2015 onwards and has, to some extent, been seemingly lot more upfront with a lot of things. Like, he didn't do nearly as much interviews and such promo before The Book of Souls & the cancer discourse, although I suppose the overall change in the media field is also a factor there... But I mean, there hasn't really been the old slightly "grumpy/umm i don't know it's a great sounding record, yeah" Bruce around anymore, as he's been very inspired and clearly very excited when talking about basically everything around Maiden and his own projects, whether sometimes talking rubbish or not, heh.

Anyway, I wonder if the COVID break was somewhat similar, although obviously not nearly as serious, moment of realization for Dave about the speciality & sacred nature of every tour, album & single gig they've got left in them.

Just a thought. Probably overthinking it. :D

I do think similar to say Deep Purple with their never ending touring and album cycles, it gave them a big rest and post covid they are on fire again so I think that's been the case for a alot of bands and members. It's given them that itch
