News Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

So, I opened the article and the first thing I read was the headline: “Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood: ‘Respect your fans above everything else.’”

I understand what he means, but I'm immediately at odds with it and feel compelled to argue. Dance of Death's album artwork and production are clearly some special form of respect for the fans. Very sophisticated, and even slightly tongue-in-cheek. Not to mention the production choices on The X Factor and Virtual XI. Those immediately send a clear message: these boys care about us. Truly, madly and deeply. It's so flattering. Yay!

Rod: Poor sod. Those are creative choices and artistic vision. “Respect” doesn't cover those areas.
 
I cant complain about what they have done since reunion. They did a great job. Setlist tours maybe a few more albums. But they are now in a level no one could imagine in 90s

Btw some people have complained of them using the same stage since 2003? They have changed now for this tour i really hope they bring the old backdrops and the big eddie. They can use the screens on the amps some artwark are really cool but i think the 80s stage and some of the 00s stage were great. The big eddies are better than the eddie of this tour wich is for me really disapointing not have a big eddie on the 50 aniversary. And that kind of stage is their trademark. Thats my only complain.
