    Short-answer questions

    To be honest, I loved hearing Another Life and Drifter. They are not winning any songwriting awards but they are definitely songs I associate with the early days. The delay to hear Icarus was a shame. It was epic on the LOTB tour but would have been even better in 1999-2005. TTAL is not one that...

    Short-answer questions

    I would say they probably were rehearsed. I created a thread a few years ago about which tour rehearsal you would like to sit on. I think it would be fascinating to see them try songs that never made the tour.

    I’m pissed off at both my job and my favourite band at the moment. Probably explains why my post was dramatic!

    I feel blessed that my first Maiden gig was the 2005 Reading show.

    I think I will leave at Iron Maiden to save myself the embarrassment in front of my friends. My mates will be fine without me. They are big kids. I’m sorry but this is just shocking. I cannot fathom their utter arrogance. How can they think that this is an acceptable performance by any stretch...

    Final Frontier Mission Edition Extras

    If you had posted this 2 months ago, I would have given you my copy. I got rid of it as I was fed up of the metal tin.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I’m always interested in remixes of albums. It is cool to hear an album that I love in a slightly different way. It can be done incredibly well. Just look at what Tony Ionmi did to the BS album Forbidden. It’s like a whole new album. I am confused by the physical product options. Bruce made a...

    I sort of feel the same way. It’s the first time where I am seeing Maiden where there is only one song that I have never heard before. That of course is Killers. To be honest, I’m looking forward to hearing the classics and seeing my mates pumped up for them as well. Murders, Killers, Phantom...

    Which is the Worst Eddie?

    100% agree. I never really noticed the football pitch until people on here were whinging about it. Like seriously, who the fuck cares? It fits within the theme of the artwork. You don’t hear the same people moan about the football references in the SIT artwork. Probably because they were too...

    I was once gigging with a band that played this vegan festival. I have fond memories of sitting by a stage listening to anti-Brexit beat poetry whilst eating a vegan curry. Good times.

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    It’s actually refreshing to hear that he wants to switch off from music. I think this is one of the reasons he has continued for so long. As a music teacher, people always assume I want to be doing musical things. No is the answer to that!

    NOW PLAYING

    Every time I see this album, I always think of the radio host on GTA Vice City Stories who shouts at his co-host at the end of the song, ‘Lazlow, get over there and put your balls to the wall!’ I can still hear it nearly 20 years later! That game introduced me to Accept. What a great band!

    I think Maiden England 2014 was just a chance for them to get playing together before recording Book of Souls in the autumn.

    Surely they will take the show to Download. It will probably be their most Download friendly setlist since 2003. 2020 would have also been a festival friendly setlist.

    I am pumped for London. I was giving my friends a song by song update when the setlist was being revealed. They were most excited for the ‘classics’. I don’t blame them. They are great songs. Sure I would have loved Infinite Dreams or some other deep cut, but I feel this tour is trying to cater...

    Iron Maiden’s compilation albums

    This morning I grabbed my copy of Best of the Beast and put it on the CD player. Other than being a great intro to Maiden as a 8 year old back in the day, I still think the single disc copy holds up as a great introduction to the band. I have other Maiden compilations in the collection and this...

    Blaze Bayley

    I didn’t realise that is how Blaze started. I thought he just put an ad in the paper. How did the retainer come about?
