    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    I mean, yeah Simon Philips is amazing but it was never going to happen, I still don’t know why it has been mentioned that often here. It was quite obvious that it would be between Simon Dawson, Joe Lazarus and maaaybe Justin McBrain.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    I hope he uses at least a very similar kit to Nicko's. I know it would be hard for him to adapt specially for things like the ride placement but it doesn't need to be exactly the same, just in the same vein, because as I said before it really feels like a part of the stage show for Maiden.

    Or even Aces High again.

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Although it was possible, I'm still shocked. Glad that Nicko retired in his own terms and I'm really thankful for having saw him in his last tour, an absolute legend. I also think the replacement will be Joe Lazarus, with another possibility being Simon Dawson. I hope that the new drummer...

    USA Politics

    Just checked this thread for the first time in a while and I have a few things to say about it and the results. - It baffles me how can people who live at the United States can actually claim that Dems are going far too left. Their country is literally the embodiment of capitalism and...

    To be fair, Wasting Love is the 5th most streamed video on Maiden's official YT channel as well, where playlists aren't as important. Here in Brazil, I have lots of friends who aren't into Maiden at all who know Wasting Love. I think it is that popular, just not among heavy metal fans.

    Phantom for sure, Running Free not 100% imo.

    Yeah, I think Remember Tomorrow is happening after this week's news.

    Paul Di'Anno

    By the way, Corinthians (the second most popular football club in Brazil) also paid tribute to him on their social media. Paul used to say he was a Corinthians fan in Brazil. Sport Club Corinthians Paulista mourns the death of Paul Di'Anno, former lead singer of Iron Maiden, at the age of 66...

    Paul Di'Anno

    Himself, on this interview. I'm brazilian myself and I didn't know that his father was brazilian, just thought he lived here for quite some time as well.

    Paul Di'Anno passes away, age 66

    Rafael Bittencourt, Felipe Andreoli and Aquiles Priester (Angra) also posted on Instagram. Aquiles and Felipe also toured with him and played on his The Living Dead album.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Yeah, I think there will be some sort of tribute either before the show or during one of Bruce's speeches, but not more than that. However, I do believe there is a good chance they do a proper tribute during one of the Di'Anno era tracks featured in next year's tour (with pictures of him in the...

    Nicko, Dave and Janick on team Parchment and Bruce, Steve and Adrian on team Celts? I'm only mostly sure about Nicko and Steve though.

    Spotify's top 30 if anyone's interested (Icarus is above Wasting Love because it's been streamed more lately).

    I think LOTB would be similar, actually. Maiden probably already was a stadium band in most of Europe, they just didn't book them. Having said that, I think more than the 50th anniversary or the announcement that they're only doing old stuff, people are also realizing we don't have many years...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Nicko started playing this year like he was in mid-june/july last year, probably now he's at his best post-stroke.

    Sun and Steel, although I don't think it will happen.
