I just think it's funny I stood probably 25-30ft away from him when he was playing in KK's Priest and had no idea who he was at the time. That discovery after the fact was wild. (Believe I did spot him at the mixing board at The Future Past Rosemont like one month after the KK show)

I'm running out of my time, and now I'm pressing skip EDIT: (Kidding. I like Futureal, but I'm not listening to VXI ;))

Another thought, wonder if Nicko's change of status on certain things Maiden had to do with this?

I will say the previously stated year off suddenly becoming a "Who knows? Maybe we're back sooner than you think" makes more sense now that this deal has been announced. Kind of ties into my point on Pophouse holding the controlling interest. That's my stance and I'm sticking to it!

Like, was that going to get new folks to the theater?

Maybe Bruce gets to call us non-digital cun... oh, never mind.

I still like how one of the selling points for Burning Ambition was "New animations of Eddie!"

Honestly, I think the motivation to make a deal to begin with isn't "I want someone to respectfully nurture and caretake our brand" but "You're writing a check with a lot of zeroes? Mint. Where do I sign?"

It's more the concept of the tour. It wouldn't be like "Nah, dump Killers, put in Icarus, it paces the set better." The deal is stated as being 50/50, but Pophouse doesn't generally enter into these deals unless they get a controlling interest. If the group convenes at Maiden Towers and comes...

I will say ABBA Voyage is fantastic. My jaw literally dropped at the intro of the show at how lifelike they made the band appear. Travelling to see a Maiden hologram show or Kiss show? Why? I saw the real thing. I never had an opportunity to see the real ABBA because they broke up a decade...

The positives I can see coming out of this are live concerts from the past being released and the Eddfest museum becoming a touring exhibition similar to "Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains" and "David Bowie Is." I don't see a hologram show like ABBA Voyage working - the visual attraction would be...

To my recollection, everyone that signs with Pophouse is already retired (Kiss, ABBA - although Bjorn Ulvaeus owns Pophouse), retiring (Cyndi Lauper), or is dead (Tina Turner, Avicii) If the band had already retired? Sure, that's fine. But if this is to be an active unit for awhile longer...

Suddenly not feeling optimistic about the near future of this band.

Come to think of it, also been playing a good chunk of The X Factor. Virtual XI I am continuing to pass on on revisiting.

Theme of the summer's been Di'Anno era stuff.

Nice to see he thinks highly of Senjutsu and The Book of Souls, but I wouldn't put them top-five. Brave New World being the second-worst of the reunion era albums is a crime.

If I had to combine the two setlists for the tour, I would have replaced Tears with Unknown, played it third and just moved CotD to fourth. Tears of a Clown never grew on me and felt somewhat like a compromise on the setlist. One party wanted one Book of Souls song, another one wanted a...

Was the intro to Murders any different? Setlist.fm says "(clean guitar arpeggios & drum rolls intro played on tape)"

Sounds like a scenario where he loses either way though? Although, as a fan of absurdity without global consequences, Farage losing to a garbage bin would be the more enjoyable option.

Switzerland-Colombia was a fun watch yesterday. Didn't really start paying attention until we hit the bracket, I don't have as much time to keep up with all the group stage matches anymore. :D
