Not so sure about that third world countries are happy to see a big act as if that's the reason Maiden is so popular in South America. I mean, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne and Deep Purple are all big acts and they usually play in Arenas or much smaller stadiums in South America whereas Maiden...

I insist that I think it would make sense to Iron Maiden to do a Farwell tour. I don't get it why anyone would think that it is money whore, nothing further from the truth. Anyone knows that Iron Maiden are not the kind of band who would lie about it to make a profit, it was never their style...

Only in Canada and USA I think Rush can be bigger than Maiden. Everywhere else is the other way around.

Always is too much of a stretch. In the early 80's Iron Maiden was more popular, after the release of Number of the Beast.

I agree, the band's name is highly identifiable and comercial. It is like the first thing that comes to mind because the name resembles the name of the genre.

I believe there will be a farewell tour. I just don't picture them coming back, not even for a casual show. They will probably go on with their solo carreers but once they call Iron Maiden quits I don't think they'll ever perform live again. So there's no reason for not doing a Farewell tour in...

Yeah, Nicko will be 70 in four years now but Steve and Bruce are younger. Anyways, I see them playing maybe some 6 or 7 years in the future, not more than that. If I had to make a guess I would say they will release one more studio album in late 2019 or early 2020. They'll make a tour of the...

It's true, but Maiden have stated many times that they don't want to be a band of dinosaurs and that they will retire when they can't give 100% anymore. If it were any other band who said it I wouldn't believe it but we know Maiden is special in this regard and they always mean what they say. I...

I'm really longing for a new album but at the same time I think at this stage of their carreer they only must release albums of absolute high quality. So I'd rather wait longer if that means the album will keep the quality of the previous ones. They're not in a moment of their carreer that they...

Do you think there will be a second leg of this tour maybe in 2019? I hope to see them play in South America.

Yeah, it's true. I guess the US is just a world on its own and have a different mindset. Once a guy told me that Iron Maiden was like football/soccer, it is big in most of the world but not in the US. I guess it's an exaggeration because Maiden is pretty big in the states anyways, but it has...

Yes, I suspect that is true. However, it surprises me that for example Ozzy Osbourne or Judas Priest at least in the 80's have sold more records there than Iron Maiden. That seems to be an exception from most of the world. I mean, in Latin America Ozzy Osbourne cannot compare to Iron Maiden in...

Iron Maiden may be the biggest band out there that never quite made it in the US but still is one of the most succesful bands worldwide. I mean, for most bands making it in the United States is a condition to gain success.

Metallica is the biggest metal band in terms of sales and show attendances but if we counted only among metalheads then it would be much closer since Iron Maiden has a lot of fans inside the community whereas lots of Metallica fans are not metalheads. However I would say that Metallica makes...
