Absolutely. There would have been many very good drummers as candidates. And Joe apparently didn't even schedule other dates suitably to give himself a better chance of getting the job of a lifetime. So did he think that Simon Dawson, who did tour with Maiden and played with Steve all year (or...

How totally weird. Now this thread has made me want to listen to Black Noise - Elevator Music. I'm off to the club now, bye!

But it was announced as important project with a big name. That can't be only one song. I expect more to be released of the collaboration with Arthur Brown in 2025. Maybe Bruce should work with Arthur Brown too? He always names him as an important influence.

With new personalized medicinal products, Bruce will be helped much more specifically and quickly in future if he has a cold or flu.

Shouldn't this be an optimistic thread? There have always been new inventions bigger and better than people before believed was possible.

I also don't think it is realistic but we have to keep in mind how many here were sure that Maiden would never continue with new musicians, no way! Maybe we should learn from that to be more cautious about declaring something impossible.

There are so many high-resolution close-ups of Nicko now. I looked at so many and it made me sad. Because of end of the era, but also a little bit because I think he struggled a lot more and was worse off than most thought. If someone told me that the man in the photos was 82, I would have no...

Not necessarily. He wouldn't have to manage everything alone but in a team and that could also be connected with the promo/spokesperson aspect.

Happened? You mean a medical crisis, side effects from his medication? But I know we most likely will not find out. Except Mr. Lazarus has information on it.

I am sure Nicko himself worked very, very hard. If he had the best medical advisers at least for me remains an open question, sorry.

How about Nicko as tour manager? I don't mean necessarily traveling with them but organizing everything?

Then we have a different opinion. I don't believe that you can only honour/know a culture, history/heritage, roots and contribute when you were born with a specific nationality.

I didn't like this part either. It is weird and outdated. As if it is not important about him as a person what he has achieved or which styles he has already played as a drummer, but his nationality. Judas Priest are also English, even have an album "British Steel" but they never said their...

That is a secret. :D The day and month were inserted on https://drummerszone.com/artists/simon-dawson/800/profile/ but not the year.

Does that make sense? His dad would have known that and wouldn't have been so angry on Facebook.

I still don't undertstand why it is necessary that the new drummer is British. That is such an outdated attitude (if true). Maybe Simon Dawson is going to be the live drummer in 2025, while the real new drummer who will become a permanent band member and who is not British will in the meantime...

I agree with you on that topic. That is why I proposed someone on Mickey Dees level, where no metalhead would have to look up who on earth that is and what he already has acomplished.

Doesn't Linda identify as female? Then it would be very impolite of Rod to say Iron Maiden always gets their man.

That is not true. There are recent posts with the opinion that it is an impossibility. I agree. Maybe two options were prepared? Nicko retiring after this tour and Nicko retiring at the end of the 2025 tour? In Nicko's interview about his performance with the Royal Marines it sounded as if...

Why is that necessary? Most bands are international nowadays. Their roots are in a specific country and that is an important part of their history, but then it is normal nowadays to become more international in the further course.
