Sad. I guess this is bad news for those who expect a new Bruce album.

He wasn't. He almost always leaves the stage very late, just befor Nicko, and waves at the crowd. This time he left early and I'm sure that's because he didn't want to be emotional in front of a crowd.

Really? Didn't know that. Could you elaborate please ?

He did, and was submitted to full scale interrogatory by Rod, so tight that Steve had to put an end to it.

Yes, next time, I will submit my statements to you before posting, to avoid displeasing you. Remember most of you were discussing his downfall and potential replacement a few days ago. The discussion has just turned more concrete and I voiced my opinion without being rude to anyone, contrary to...

50% of their sound if not more ??? Come on. I don't want to look rude, but sadness alters your mind. What about the bass sound, Davey's tone and Bruce's voice ? More importantly, the guy does not write songs, which means that a good drummer will be able to replicate his parts, and certainly with...

I didn't realize. I try not to follow them that much when I don't attend any gig on a tour.

By the way, sensible move form Maiden not to announce his replacement in the same statement.

He must have struggled terribly on this tour. I didn't expect him to step back in the middle of the tour. Shit, it's so sad, just a few weeks after Paul's death. The pressure on his replacement is going to be terrible.

He can't. He is a solid drummer in a heavy rock band. No way he can play Maiden songs. We all know who is meant to get the job. Anyway, at their age, the most important thing is to be confortable with each other, and for Steve, being tight with is drummer is more important than anything else...

I just can't believe some crazy idiots are gonna release very soon a new record under the name Thin Lizzy. Who's gonna buy this without Lynnot. I hate Gorham for that.

My thoughts, then and now : why the hell did Steve let H and Bruce put their songs on that record ? No provocation there, just a genuine feeling.

I didn't know the band until very recently. How stupid I was to ignore them. I haven't listened to their whole discography yet, but their early albums are just fantastic. Orchid must be one the greatest debut of a Metal band, and I can't get tired of the opening song.

Hell. I've always thought he would be the next one to go, and still, I'm shocked. Killers is the album that brought me to Maiden and Metal in 1982, and for that album, I will always be immensely grateful to him.

I thought everybody disliked this song. For me, it's just one of their worst songs ever, along with Bring your Daughter, Hooks in You and the well named Darkest Hour.

Great description of the man :cheers:

I immensely dislike Gene Simmons conservative views on most things, but I think he is a much more clever guy than Bruce. There is something unfinished in Bruce and he will never get as much recognition as he needs. Spending 50 nights a year in front of 20 000 people who think you're a semi-god...

Those few songs showed how good some soNgs would be with a real thrash drummer.

This thread is not really the most joyful, but at least, it's a welcome departure from the "the songs didn't suffer from Nicko's drumming" nonsense we read last year.

Maiden music can be heard during a couple of minutes at the begnning of Rebel Ridge, a Netflix movie.
