Interesting, I wonder if Run to the Hills or Trooper would have come out nowadays, would people also comment that riffs are good but nothing special. Chorus good but rather average etc. Or whatever 70-80s hit - Holy Diver, Iron Man, Master of Puppets etc. I think time is what gives songs classic...

So with the recent Bruce video revealed, got me thinking. Which artist/band do you think has great, interesting videos? And which awesome music videos come to your mind? For me, I'm not Rammstein fan (music is too industrial) but what they are great is pyros and music videos. Very interesting...

With each day passing, the chances are getting slimmer that Maiden will play in Europe next year. But it would be quite weird to play Alexander and not play it in Greece + other countries that they didn't visit this year. Maybe they will wait for Bruce's Euro shows to sell better and then...

How much have the tickets cost so far? Although the Tallinn tickets will go on pre-sale on Monday, it seems now that the price for one is 78€, which is pretty high. I think Maiden in Krakow this year was less than that. And if the information is correct then Helsinki ticket price was around 48€...

To me Parchment reminds Rainbow's Stargazer a lot. Both are long hypnotic songs with great athmosphere. Lots of repetions that seem to go nowhere but that's the point with those songs. Just mesmerizing music to enjoy. Yep, Parchment is no Fear in terms of crowd involvement, but it has it's own...

I was able to see Eric Adams at the beginning of the year. His voice has indeed aged very well, from 80's singers he probably has the best voice nowadays. Unfortunately, his live presence and showmanship was quite poor. I think I didn't see him once doing some quicker steps (and I'm not talking...

Lots of members are sure that Maiden gonna play in Europe next summer. So with that, what do you think what is more logical/profitable course of action for Maiden HQ. To announce Maiden European dates first and then after some time Bruce's European tour dates or the other way round. Bruce first...

All that talk with 50th anniversary got me thinking. Iron Maiden's start date is 25.12.1975. So wouldn't it be correct to celebrate 50 years of activity after 50 years are completed. What I mean is celebration and celebrating tour should take place after 25.12.2025, so 50th anniversary tour...

My money is on double album and book/comics.

Would you rather get album with 8 tracks next autumn or album with 10 tracks in 2025 (autumn most likely)?

Funny I was just thinking the same thing and thought about posting it, but you beat me to it. But yes, it seems The Mandrake Project is and will be the name of the album. Although I am interested what Bruce means with the last sentence - "As for what The Mandrake Project actually is… all will be...

Speaking of keyboard player. Imagine if Bruce decides to play Empire of the Clouds on the tour.

Well, in January Steve is already occupied with British Lion tour, so that leaves them only 2 months (some break after PowerTrip - recording starting second half of October and I assume nobody wants to spend Christmas period in studio so recording ending by latest in the middle of December). If...

With these Bruce and Steve's solo tour dates announcements the only time for them to record an album in the near future is to do it from October to December, roughly 2 months. Maybe since they are already in America they will opt for Bahamas again? How realistic do you think it is? How long do...

So on the Mandrake webpage you can join by giving your e-mail and country. If I remember correctly during the Belshazzar's feast there was kind of similar thing where you gave your e-mail/subscribed. But did it gave some extra content or something or was it just for Maiden hq to gather how many...

One thing I don't understand is the album completed or are they in studio still? If it's completed then Tanya had to wait to publish those videos for how long? Honestly, I am little bit confused - no release date, just vague hint about early next year, no cover art etc. Seems their still...

Recent tours Maiden have had lots of awesome backdrops, unfortunately they didn't have them as t-shirts. For example 3 favourites of mine would be Sign of the Cross and Clansman from LotB and Alexander from Futute Past tour. In my opion missed oportunity to have great t-shirt art. Would have...

I would like to look at this in this kind of way. Most realistic to feature in the future setlist(s): BNW: Blood Brothers, although Brave New World also has rather good chance, why not even the tour after Future Past. DoD: Dance of Death AMOLAD: Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg/ These colours...

I was listening to Phantom earlier in the day and realised that we don't have proper 21 century live recording of Phantom. The best we have is Ullevi 2005 and Download 2014, but not a single proper CD version. Shame really, one of the best classic songs from the boys and yet only bootleg...

Listened Parchment again yesterday with different feeling. Well I understand why they chose Celts over Parchment. Although Parchment is better album song (and I like many others love it more than Celts) I'm not so sure of it being significantly better crowd pleaser than Celts. I think even...
