    News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    That's awesome, so happy for Blaze, he deserves it. Steve would probably play with him, but imagine a duet with Bruce (for his set-Clansman, or maybe Iron Maiden, Blaze likes Wasted Years). Steve also said that Blaze is a big part of Maiden! :)

    News Burning Ambition Documentary

    This is a surprise and odd. Probably a time thing and something different for them (they like this). I imagine they used some of the stuff they said in the History DVDs. :lol: Well yeah (more animations with Eddie!), I'm more interested in rare live footage and sound. True, but they should be...

    Which album do you prefer: The Book Of Souls or Senjutsu?

    I think the takeoff is the outro part (clever idea), or Bruce's high vocals parts. I like it a lot, it feels very epic even without tempo changes or dynamics, and it could have been with one less repeat (the chorus), but no more imo. Senjutsu and Parchment are some of the Maiden songs that feel...

    Bruce Dickinson

    If they continue the rotation (I think they will). I feel the new album could have a bigger representation in the set than last time. Some more and different songs from TOS, BTP (Cyclops), SW, TM ('58) and probably TCW or AOB are to be expected (let's see about TMP), some as rotation. The stage...

    News 18th Studio Album discussion

    Adrian saying they still have 1 or 2 albums in them should about Maiden, right. ''As for Maiden, I don't know'' (a secret?; keep going could mean playing live and no new music, which would be a big surprise for the band, even now)? It doesn't make sense to be for SK. Man, he could have said...

    Best New Music 2026 Edition

    The new Chez Kane album Reckless is one of the most nostalgic trips into the 80s sound. The material may blend, but the fun and melodic glam will never get old. Literally every song works and has something to grab you. Great vocals, cool solos. The title track has a perfect melodic approach...

    I guess it was because they were writing two styles (hard rock and heavier glam metal) for two different albums, the focus was divided. Painkiller is what they were trying to do with Ram It Down, but fully developed. They needed a transitional album to say, kind of like Maiden with SIT and...

    NOW PLAYING

    It's not the strongest 70s-sounding album (muddy isn't cool at all), but the drum sound is like ''solid'' for that era. I enjoy the sound of the guitars, they have a rather ''nice, clean and kind of warm'' sound that suits the music and themes (almost like for the previous album, but weaker)...

    Bruce Dickinson

    This is next level wrong on his part... we don't know the whole story, it's probably personal (not started by Bruce, I think he should blame only himself), but Bruce made the right decision. Just look at this. The chemistry of his new band is great. TMP is one of the most unimpressive and...

    News 18th Studio Album discussion

    Kevin visited Nicko's RARR (idk if that's rare)... hopefully another reason is to discuss when he will record his parts to participate in a couple of songs on a new album. Early 2027 before Bruce's tour?

    https://blabbermouth.net/news/helloweens-andi-deris-says-now-would-a-good-time-for-part-four-of-keeper-of-the-seven-keys-album-saga Keeper Part 4 would be curious, with the current lineup and in terms of art. The Legacy album is different than them (this is its original name, probably) or from...

    Vocalists that were auditioned for Bruce Dickinson's replacement in 1993

    An interview with Steve and Dave from 1996. They talk about how they were uncertain if the fans would accept the new lineup, that Blaze sounds great live (he's never done 2-hour sets and a year-long tour before), there's a good sound live footage from TXF tour - and among the things, Steve said...

    I agree, Rapid Fire is better with Ripper's singing/approach. Definitely more impactful. The middle part of the song is perfect, he also sings Metal Gods with more aggressive vocals. The song fits his style with the band very well, they even re-recorded it for the Demolition album - and the...

    Their fantasy covers are captivating, which is cool for their style, and the colors work so good.

    Some photos from the 50th anniv documentary promo: Rare ones from the NPOTR tour and a backstage photo from the 2005 tour on DOD's booklet's lounge (I've never seen it before).

    Official Iron Maiden artwork and fan drawn Eddies (no AI images please)

    A thought: The pose and approach of TBOS Eddie on the cover would have still been impactful if it was with one of the booklet's arts (the jungle setting). Or just a subtle details (the pyramid's entrance, for example) and shadows for even more impact (unlike SJ's). The actual cover is a perfect...

    Which album do you prefer: The Book Of Souls or Senjutsu?

    I love both (two weaker songs overall, 6-7 big classics), but SJ has some stronger and slightly more interesting/special ideas, at least for me (plus Hell On Earth is one of my favorite songs ever). But I enjoy them and the balance of the shorter songs in TBOS. Both albums have some parts I...

    It sounds classic CG (intro, verses, riffing) and pretty solid (thrash metal riffs), but the chorus' signature is like a different part of a different song. Interesting song though. The vocalist with a very good job. np: Masterplan - Through The Storm Classic power metal (even intro with...

    Album covers: alternate versions, different Eddies?

    Same here. Is that really true? The original idea was just Eddie and the monks behind him, the figures weren't Patchett's idea or work. Such a missed opportunity if true, for a better and perfect vibe for the theme. I guess they were jumping between the two like with BNW cover, drawing and CGI...
