I'd say it's plausible. I mean, the trailers and commercials for the new Fantastic Four movie apparently all feature one particular sequence that's the marketing money shot and it's not even in the actual film. Different medias, yeah, but you never know.

I'd say the fact that they singled that song out in the album's press release is a good start. With TFF, I seem to remember the band hyping up WWTWB for being the third longest song in the band's history and it promptly received a lot of media attention in reviews and interviews leading up to...

I have to disagree; Empire's the song that they're building up the most for the fans, much like how they built up When the Wild Wind Blows on the last album. Moreover, the descriptions for the song so far seem to indicate that Empire is pretty much the musical culmination of Maiden's long...

I don't see them playing #15 personally. I'm not expecting #5 either, but I'd love it if they did. I really want to see The X Factor get some proper representation live. I will make this random prediction/wish though: seeing as how they went a good three years in a row not playing Hallowed at...

Not always; a guitarist could play the exact same riff in the same manner multiple times and have it sound completely different each time, if they change the settings and effects they're using with each take. It's why Piece of Mind has a more old-school, "fuzzy" guitar sound and why Somewhere in...

In terms of a stage set, I'm actually thinking it might be a blend between the World Slavery tour and the X-Factour (rather than the BNW tour) with a Mayan theme. The cover for TBOS just has a much darker look and vibe about it, akin to TXF, so that might carry over into the set design. Perhaps...

The teaser definitely sounds different to the past two or three albums sonically imo, so I'm not surprised to hear that the production (whether it's good or bad) is reminiscent of an album like SiT, which always stood out in comparison to other Maiden albums in its production. I have a feeling H...

I'm not too surprised to hear this, but just the same, it's got me positively stoked to hear the album myself!

I dunno. If the band really does intend to do a setlist that's a fair balance of new and old songs, they'll almost definitely need to extend the setlist a bit. While I'd never expect this to happen, it's both what I want to happen and what I think should happen. Besides, I think a...

Not a bad guess, I think. However I hope they'd trade Running Free/Sanctuary for one song off of either DoD or AMOLAD, for slightly better representation of the post-reunion era.

It sounds like Empire is a massive metal opera/has musical influences going on and is described as being very theatrical/cinematic. To me, that sounds like something that was tailor-made for a Maiden live show. As Donner mentioned, if necessary, they could have Michael Kenney come in to do the...

Agreed. Also agreed.

1. Adrian in Seventh Son 2. Janick in Como Estais Amigos 3. Dave in Phantom of the Opera 4. Dave in Where Eagles Dare While I prefer Phantom of the Opera overall as a song to CEA, I think Janick is a bit underrated and his solo in CEA is fantastic, so I gave it a mercy vote here. Seventh Son...

I personally doubt it's actually about that storyline specifically. I'm just saying that I wouldn't surprised if Bruce were to make some nods to the character and his mythos in the song. Again, look at the lyrics for "Darkside of Aquarius." It's all about the apocalypse and refers to both...

No, but I wouldn't put it past Bruce to make a reference or two to Doctor Strange in this song; after all, he names the Silver Surfer specifically in "Darkside of Aquarius."

I'm puzzled too. It just seems so damn counterproductive to do this.

Did Rod bump his head on something recently or have someone else oversee this? This is downright nutty.

It definitely feels like the most 'classic' Eddie we've had since the 80's, I think. Wilkinson did a great job with the design. It's like if Piece of Mind-era Eddie went back in time to South America and joined the Mayan civilization. He's even got the red eyes that Eddie has in the remastered...

Over the past several days, I've been reflecting over the course of the reunion era (from Brave New World up to now) and comparing it to the golden years of the 80's (starting with Number of the Beast). It's obviously not an exact match, but with that course in mind, The Book of Souls would...

That'd be killer! It'd be nice to see The Book of Souls top The Final Frontier! :D
