    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I think your right to a certain extent but Maiden, like KISS are a bunch of old men who are doing things they want based on a bygone age. These legacy acts have been around so long they don’t need to compete with the stage shows put on by young girls more than 3 decades younger. Let’s face...

    Bruce's Singing

    He was more than passable in the 80’s and his voice to my ears was fine after the world slavery tour. I hear fans online always talk about how shot his voice was from 1985 and through the 90’s. And to me that’s just a load of bollocks. Bruce sings superbly on Seventh son and it was hearing...

    Have you ever fundamentally changed your opinion on any Maiden album over a span of years?

    My biggest change of opinion has been for the final frontier. I never hated it when it came out but I tried my best at the time to enjoy it but just found it over long and quite plodding. Just something about it never clicked. These days I absolutely love it. Starblind, the talisman and where...

    Bruce's Singing

    lol, utter garbage. I’m all for people expressing their own opinions and usually I don’t care if someone’s opinion is different to mine but this statement is preposterous. So Bruce only sang well for 1.5 years in the whole of his time with Maiden in the 80’s. :oops::facepalm:

    Bruce's Singing

    Also, I don’t listen to a ton of bootlegs so to me I couldn’t care less if he had a few off nights on a tour. As long as I’m happy with his voice on official releases and when I’m at the gigs I actually attend then it’s all good. I’ve seen maiden over 30 times across all tours since the...

    Bruce's Singing

    Totally agree with this. As he gets older his voice has eroded a bit but not too a huge degree to me. As an example I have noticed he sounds slightly rough and at some points he’s straining to hit the notes on a lot of the final frontier album but I put that down to age plus less production on...

    Bruce's Singing

    You are probably right about the technical aspects of Bruce not hitting notes or not reaching the correct pitch etc but to my ears he sounds perfectly fine on both live after death and maiden England. Honestly, 30+ years ago when I first got into Maiden and started buying their albums I never...

    Bruce's Singing

    Lol you haven’t hurt my feelings at all :p Maiden England is my personal favourite maiden live album and I enjoy listening to Bruce’s singing on the album. Same with live after death, I have no issues with Bruce’s singing. Im just glad, to my ears, that I can enjoy Maidens live releases from...

    Bruce's Singing

    Really! So according to you Bruce only had 1.5 tours where his singing was good and the rest of the 80’s he’s was a load of shit bar odd performance? This thread should be renamed as the “let’s slag Bruce’s singing off”. I’m all for a bit of constructive criticism but honestly, I wonder why...

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    Wow, there’s a touch of arrogance right there. I disagree with a lot of what you’ve said in your post and just don’t get the punk connection at all, no matter how tenuous. I’m not gonna debate this any more, I have my opinion and you have yours. If you really feel like explaining it one more...

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    The songs on the first two Maiden albums just don’t have anything punk about them in my opinion. Punk mainly made up of bands that could barely play their instruments and would be lucky if they could write one memorable chord per album. They were mainly from working class backgrounds who wrote...

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    There is absolutely nothing punk musically whatsoever about anything on Maidens first 2 albums. Never understood why people say this and always thought it was a lazy description just because Paul had short hair and was a bit of a geezer.

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    Today we mourn the passing of a musical legend. The man helped put Iron Maiden on the map and those first two albums will always be a legacy that any musician would be proud of. I wasn’t a fan of the man behind the music but today is not a day to dwell on the negatives. Today is a day to raise...

    Paul Di'Anno

    Totally agree, I think that guy is a total leach. He made out he was helping Paul and moaned so much about all the shit he took, whilst plugging his tell all book. Can’t stand the bloke and find it cringy how people on the official fan club forum kiss his arse.

    Futureal CD2 ?

    I have the futureal digi pack single and whilst I was a member of the FC at the time I actually bought it from a local record store (UK) so a few copies must have been released to be sold in shops.

    Run For Your Lives tour their last or not?

    No this won’t be the last tour but I do believe this is part.1 of the farewell tour. The venues they’ve picked and the fact the tour is based around the first 9 albums only with no real theme (legacy of the beast, future past etc) leads me to believe this the first part of the last big tour...

    Books

    Your welcome. I will say however, the order does seem to be taking a while to process. Money has already been paid and a couple of days ago I got an email from Lulu apologising for the delay with the books and they will come back to me as soon as they have a further update. Could you give them...
