I think if we get a Blaze era song anytime soon, it'll probably be either Man on the Edge or Futureal. I'd love to see Sign of the Cross live though.

I think the first version was better formatted. :P Any idea of when we'll start getting more reviews for the album?

Did he compare it to any song in particular?

Who? What did they think of it?

Nailed it. However I can respect Meliegree's opinion... even if I strongly disagree with it. ;)

I don't remember reading that in either of the two recent interviews with him. However I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, as both were rather detailed, lengthy interviews. That said, the official website refers to a Speed of Light video coming out on Friday. That's either a lyric or...

His black metal scream on Infinite Dreams is terrific. One of his best ever.

Nailed it. Bruce and Nicko are especially extroverts, from the looks of things.

To the general public and history books, the '83-88 lineup will always be seen as the classic lineup, but I think the post-reunion lineup is probably better overall. But that's just me. ;)

Definitely Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Brave New World. He was at his physical peak and maturity during that particular stretch of albums.

Exactly. It could turn out that Speed of Light is a more obvious pick for the show opener, but generally Maiden albums open with the same song that the band will open up their shows on its tour. I actually think it's probably an intentional move on the band's part, though I don't have any...

It's got a fan-base, certainly, but I'm hesitant to believe that there's a big enough interest to finance a tour of that era. Maybe a combo of the late Bruce/Blaze era materials, but I'm not sure it'd work.

Indeed, but there generally doesn't seem to be much interest in songs off that album, aside from the title track.

I'm cracking up listening to this song in contrast to the photos. That said, as far as 80's pop-rock/glam metal songs go, this doesn't sound too bad imo.

True, but the precedent is few and far between. Generally the band likes to open with the new album's first song.

I wouldn't be surprised by that. If Bruce really did knock it out of the ballpark with this album, they'll wait until the song's out so that he can stun fans with his performance.

I'm guessing IESF first due to Maiden's habit of opening up album tours with the new opening song. After all, just because El Dorado was the first single off of TFF, that didn't stop them from opening with the title track in 2011. I'm also thinking back to the Somewhere on Tour with them opening...

I currently own Persona and the Faith Trilogy Criterion releases so far. Still need to get The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries soon. I'm also a big fan of Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick and Orson Welles.

I'm going to wager we'll see at least these songs (not necessarily in this order): 1. If Eternity Should Fail 2. Speed of Light 3. 2 Minutes to Midnight or Flight of Icarus 4. The Book of Souls 5. The Trooper 6. The Wicker Man 7. Coming Home or Blood Brothers 8. Rainmaker (instead of DoD) 9...

They've referred to the soul lyrically a bunch of times too. Not surprising that it's finally made it into an album title, really. :)
