^Most likely. The quote about everyone's gotten so old is more of an odd one. What to say bands like Priest, Saxon, Purple? And tbh, him not even sure if he'd potentially play on another album is not what I understand by ''he's still part of the band''. What would their future be, just Hits...

A better representation for 50 years, that's for sure. This. It feels like that, yeah. I think he could do the encore songs. It was great to hear such drumming on Moonchild, but you can see why he retired from live playing. Iirc, Bruce has a solo show in Florida. I think so too. The songs...

Steve rarely misses with his solo credits. But I voted for Invaders - and yes, for the chorus. You can argue about Assassin's chorus (even Fortunes Of War) and Angel And The Gambler's repetition, but the songs have other redeeming ideas (plus we have the short version of the latter as a...

I also think it's about a new album, that's like their usual way of hint talking, although it would be a bit odd if it isn't recorded yet (unless they change their ways of recording a bit, they write stuff all the time). I guess they decided to do it (planning stages) as the next logical step in...

From a new interview with Nicko - discussing whether he would play with the band if they play in Florida: "Yeah, if they come here, I might end up doing a show with them, you know, just going and playing a song or two. Or just being there''. :)

Bruce loves to tease as we know, so we have to keep that in mind, but it can't about the dates for the 2nd leg - he covered it with the first spoiler alert joke. It's either about an upcoming live release from the tour (London was during the day, so I doubt it), or more likely about a new album...

Lovely to see Nicko in action. With TFP tour drum kit. His power and overall drumming isn't the same, but it still sounds more than good (impressive really) for his age and the unique groove is always there! Especially a song like Rime. Great to hear the fills and the foot work. He's maintained...

A pro-shot from this unique tour for the band (the 2 albums go together just perfect)! Yes, especially since the band isn't releasing anything, except the new songs and the two old classics from last year, which was awesome. 3-4 songs are missing, but the band sounds great. Big kudos Rob, he's...

This is one of the coolest event shirts for the tour. Eddie, the phantom, the setting.... if only it had been drawn by Akirant for the tour layout, it would have been better.

The album was rushed like No Prayer, but the musical ideas are strong and more interesting for me. It's really curious why they decided to release again an album with 8 songs since the 80's. The ideas and written material weren't a few for sure, they had a whole year free. Like for the previous...

Yeah. But they will release it, it's done probably with Roy and iirc Bruce said it's the next one to be released. It seems TMP producer/mixer is Bruce's go-to guy for productions. And not only: recently a band called Combustion 96 (Philip writes and plays for it) was announced as an opening band...

I understand what you mean, but let's not forget the awesome title track. One of Maiden's gems and classic sounding 90's songs. It would be great as an encore live (like Blood Brothers), just saying. I consider it a unique song in the band's discography.

We can say that about the album as a whole (like TMP), right. It's very strange, Bruce was brutal live during this period. Btw, he also writes such high choruses for his songs. Maiden by numbers is perfect to describe it. Btw, the ''studio magic'' chorus of Greater Good, the latter part of it...

It sounds almost the same to me the way he sings it. Maybe it's a bit lower/with rougher voice now.

I don't think I would classify some as epics, but from the list - it's either Powerslave, Rime or Hallowed. Ofc Fear and Alexander. How to choose...

Thisx2. Also, we wouldn't have been that ''disappointed'' with the ''standard setlist'' (a true and epic Maiden celebration) if it weren't for the previous 3 adventurous tours. Play 3-5 even deeper cuts in the next album tour or do a Reunion era tour and everything will be cool. :) They want to...

Another teaser. I can't find new things on first listen, maybe some layer of vocals? I doubt Bruce would touch his original vocals. New sounds, I guess? Some keys, rhythm guitar. The song has a lot of sounds and with the new mix they're not clear enough, unfortunately. Also, is it just me or the...

Yes unfortunately. A few songs on the album (including the title track) would sound crushing with clean modern production or Bruce's new one for BTP. The original production is fitting for the album, I like it and it sounds good for modern Maiden, but a heavier one would have been too methinks...

This is the price the song has to pay for its uniqueness. I guess they could have sped up the outro part, but despite the tempo and the unusual vocals, I don't find it boring. The vibe is presented perfectly, there is a build-up. I totally understand you though, but I think the whole song is a...

Good question. I enjoy both songs. Mother Of Mercy's chorus is not sung good at all by Bruce (one of his ''bad'' studio takes, iirc he wanted to change the chorus, rightfully so), while Lightning Strikes Twice's chorus could have been with backing vocals. Both ideas work for the songs though...
