RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

[Maiden Australia]

​

It always annoys me a bit when Janick’s contribution gets so little recognition. As a songwriter, but also his stage presence.
That helps Maiden so much with young fans who laugh at the ‘old blokes’ from AC/DC, Judas Priest, Scorpions… who apparently fall asleep almost standing up.
The fact that Janick is so active - Bruce is also relatively active, and Adrian has, of course, been dancing more lately than he used to - cannot be overestimated when it comes to how Maiden is perceived by young fans.

As a young fan you have nailed that statement.

No idea, I was at the Brisbane show, and 13 years old (14th birthday present) at the time.

Knebworth merch is on sale on the website for those of us who didn't want to queue for hours.

And for those who could not be arsed to go!

Thanks for the heads-up!

So I ordered the Eddfest programme and finally got it yesterday. It looks nice and features some good pictures of the "Museum" items that were on display at Knebworth. There is quite a bit of Classic Rock/Metal Hammer magazine recycling (including a piece on Bruce's WWI flight at Sonisphere 2014 that was published that year), but also some new interviews.

As it is always the case, in pure Iron Maiden quality control fashion, there is a picture of Bruce from Sonisphere 2010 with the figure caption claiming it to be from Sonisphere 2014! I wonder if there is anyone who checks these things before they go to print.
