Seeing the Wildhearts on Sunday although was in two minds as no CJ or Ritch in the band at the mo. New album out today.

To those who say Adrian should only write for Maiden, the obvious question is why haven't Maiden recorded (to our knowledge) an album since 2019, albeit not released till 2021? Steve said last year there were no plans. Adrian has released two and a half albums now with Richie, Bruce released...

Thats fine I beg to differ!

Interesting track quite different to the previous single.

Agreed should of sorted him out properly.

I rather liked the first album and went to the Manchester gig. I imagine they will look to tour it again, got the second LP on order.

Well as he is a live member it only seemed fair to start his own thread..... Not normally the sort of stuff I listen to......

Well 24 hours later the news has sunk in a bit. I am willing to give Simon a go and what an amazing opportunity for him even if he does only if he does one tour.

I am sure they will do some unannounced warm up gigs to "break in" Simon over the next few months. And what an opportunity for him even if he only does one tour! Will be dining out on the stories forever.....

https://www.youtube.com/@MrAlidawson/videos Shows some clips of him in action. People with better technical knowledge than me can comment on his technique!

No he just wants an excuse to hang out with Tanya. Philip Naslund (think that is his name) is also an experienced producer.

Wasn't there some guy called Smith who played on a couple of Bruce albums back in the day if he needs a new guitarist/co-songwriter? Does anyone know if they are still in touch?

I wouldn't expect him to be. The Stones have never replaced Wyman since 93 they have a session bassist and since 2020 a session drummer. The longterm band keep the royalties and touring members are salaried.

He also has a Twitter feed but not being on it or X or whatever it is called I haven't a clue what he posts or when.....

Wildly different band and I am not a fan but the Stones faithful seem to of accepted Steve Jordan who seems to of introduced more "swing" into their live performances.

I very much doubt Bruce would be replaced by Richard Taylor.....

The Outfield are an entirely new band to me. Lead singer sounds a bit like Sting.....

https://drummerszone.com/artists/simon-dawson/800/profile/ Few clips of him on here.

Its Steve's band, always has been. He has played with Simon for 12 years so knows his capabilities. He normally gets these things right..... ok Blaze was a contentious choice!

I'd say he is more Clive Burr than Nicko. In respect of the announcement re 2025 I think that is reasonable enough. See how gets on. If they decide to carry on and make another album etc in the future they can always upgrade him and make him an offical member- rather like Saxon did with Brian...
