    You’re right, I think Dennis Stratton is the only one who gives a shit about this. Funny thing is, nothing against Dennis but it could have been anyone else on the debut album and it would still sound exactly the same. He was just a bloke in the right place at the right time. No writing credits...

    I’ve heard that Stepjan Juras (Maidencroatia) is supposedly in this documentary. Cannot stand that bloke. Apart from his nefarious background and history he always comes across as a total leach doing anything he can to get some attention in the Maiden community just to earn money. I’m...

    I’ve never been a big fan of skunkworks but thought I’d give the new Dolby atmos version a go. It’s been so long since I listened to the album it was like listening to a brand new release lol. Have to say if you’ve got the set up this does sound very good indeed. Still not convinced the...

    I don’t think this is the case. I see a lot of disdain online for NPFTD and FOTD but this seems to be mainly from fans in the USA. The rest of the world loves these albums. I’m from the uk and these albums were hugely successful here and in most of Europe too. NPFTD peaked at number 2 in the...

    I think you have Saxon confused with your mum, who most definitely sucks :D It’s all a matter of opinion but I think Saxon are pretty great and Biff still sounds pretty good despite age and health issues. My point for bringing them up is simply down to how productive they are releasing albums...

    Saxon have a new album out this year and Biff is 75 years old. Wish Maiden were as prolific as them with albums.

    Megadeth

    I like the last note, pretty decent song and fitting end to the Megadeth Legacy. Then the Bonus track kicks in to remind everyone, not that we needed reminding lol, of where Dave started. The RTL cover is very good in my opinion. Just wish he’d recorded it years ago as while his vocals are ok...

    I would imagine if we ever see any other blaze songs in a maiden setlist it will likely be man on the edge or futureal and that’s it. Even that’s a bit of a stretch but the only likely candidates in my opinion.

    They couldn’t even get a 50th anniversary documentary released in their 50th year. I mean, they’ve only had 50 years to plan and make it :facepalm:

    After seeing them at Earl’s Court it was a surreal experience watching them in such a small venue. Like you said it was more like a club gig. My first experience of the band live was with blaze on the x-factor and VXI tours at the Brixton academy but when Bruce came back I was lucky enough to...

    I’m pretty sure they have played this live. I’ll need to double check but back in 2000 when I was a member of the fan club there were two things I remember. First up the fc convention in London the day after the Earl’s Court gig. Last time I think the band ever attended one of these. Then there...

    Well that’s a stupid reply as you’re quite right, if he decides he doesn’t feel like singing anymore then he shouldn’t. If a band doesn’t feel like making an album then they shouldn’t. It’s not up to the fans to decide what a band does or doesn’t do. Bands don’t owe their fans anything but a...

    I was a fan long before BNW came out and I don’t remember many people bashing the production of the album at the time. To be fair I wasn’t very active on forums as 25 years ago the internet wasn’t as available as it is now and social media didn’t exist but amongst the fans I knew and spoke with...

    I’ve said I think they’ll be no new album and I stand by that, despite others not agreeing. I hope I’m proved wrong I really do as I’d love a new album but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Here’s my take on Maidens future: I think once Nicko hung up the drum sticks the rest of the band...

    I’m not happy at all. I’d love to have another Maiden album. I just think that they boys are too interested in touring at the moment and due to their ages it’s very unlikely we will get another album. A maiden album is a big event. A new Eddie a whole marketing campaign and new merch plus a...

    Lol, why do we have to read between the lines? You’ve been told there’s no plans for a new album. That’s it, you’ve got the info you need. Anything else is pure speculation by a bunch of fans who are so desperate for a new album they will just assume anything that fits their narrative that...

    I love SFSGSW, the only thing that hurts the album to my ears is that god awful cover of anarchy in the uk. I could stomach the song a lot more if it was say right at the end of the album but putting the track at number 3 in between set the world afire and Mary Jane was a stupid idea and...

    Cheers. Your right not much activity lol. Maybe there’s not a lot of testament fans in this forum, shame as I love them and was hoping to read what others thought of the new album. Never mind, back to listening to Para Bellum then :shred:
