That is a very good point. If someone asked me if we were getting new Maiden back in May, though, I would've said next year after the LOTB tour concluded. I fully expected the wait to be much longer, honestly.

Considering the pandemic, the Senjutsu stage set/merch might take a little extra time to get ready too. Admittedly, I don't quite know the logistics of that, or if that process has already begun. I'd imagine the band will play, at least, two Senjutsu tracks live on the LOTB tour since the...

A few thoughts: -The artwork is quite cool. I get why some people wanted something more "busy," especially since the last album had a similar vibe. I think Wilkinson works well with less, though. It's eye-popping. - Gers/Harris collaborations ended up being my favorite songs from the last...

Since we're getting a video, I'm certainly assuming a single is on the way. I'm walking into this with the mindset that the single is coming Monday, though, just so my hype levels aren't too high.

Scott Ian of Anthrax posted a video on Instragram with him wearing a Belshazzar's Feast shirt.

I do remember Bruce saying that Steve was intrigued by two of his solo songs for TBOS, but the other was out of contention since Roy Z had a writing credit on it.

I really don't think Maiden has anything left to prove on any level, popularity included. I mean, how many bands out there get to Maiden's heights of popularity with barely any radio airplay? Do the guys even care? I'd imagine the band's more worried about the reaction to the album than...

I have my doubts about a triple album. If we were getting one, though, my assumption would be that Bruce or Steve wrote a super-long song that needed its own space. Exciting times! I wouldn't mind the band having more fun, cryptic marketing campaigns like this one.

I'd assume they'll do a special tour next and then get to work on a new album, but I do remember Steve saying that the next album wouldn't take as long.

Nothing against the song, of course. I love it more than "2 Minutes." I'm just spitballing ideas on what might be switched out.

I'm glad the rumors were true! I'm also happy that Steve mentioned that there will be some setlist changes. I wouldn't expect more than two or three different tracks, though, from what he said. Maybe they'll switch a new song with another, but I'm mostly thinking that some of the classics...

I got burned on my "maybe Maiden will play Riot Fest" guess earlier in the year, but I'm still thinking something's up for Chicago. In April, Bruce hinted at coming back to Chicago soon before saying, "I'm not supposed to say anything about that yet," with a gleam in his eye. At the least, I'd...

Thank you.

Ah, I thought I heard some other material might've been out there. Is a U.S. tour a definite for next year? I know Bruce mentioned in Chicago last year that they would be back very soon, but it was pretty ambiguous. I haven't heard any specific rumors of a timeline.

It'll be interesting to see how much of the setlist gets tweaked. Replacing a classic with another one wouldn't be surprising, but subbing a new song for another definitely would. I can't recall if Maiden ever debuted a song after the initial leg of a tour. A mini-tour where "Empire of the...

Actually, didn't the band say there would be 73 shows on this tour? As of now, there are 71 dates announced. I definitely don't want to get my hopes up, but the numbers are friendly. Maiden plays Denver on April 13, so we'll have to keep our ears open. If Bruce decides to drop hints of...

I could see the band doing something like the mini-2007 run where they mixed the AMOLAD tour with the 25th anniversary of TNOTB. Next year is the 25th anniversary of FOTD if they wanted to go that route. If more shows are added in 2016, this year is the 35th anniversary of Killers. If that...

Apparently, there's a rumor out there that Maiden could actually be headlining Riot Fest this year. I've been told to take that with a grain of salt, though, so I wouldn't be making any plans just yet. If Maiden were, in fact, headlining the fest, though, that could mean both Chicago and...

Riot Fest in September? :clap: Wishful thinking, of course. Since the band skipped pretty large North American markets this year, I thought there might be another leg next year. If Chicago is getting a second show, though, it might be a different tour.
