The last solo efforts of Maiden members have rather made me keep my fingers crossed for further Iron Maiden albums even more.

This must be the interview we already know, right? I don't like the way Metal Pilgrim presents topics, so I didn't want to click on it to be sure. Nicko McBrain's bittersweet first interview after retirement Metal Pilgrim 14 hours ago https://www.youtube.com/

In the last Metal Hammer Germany, the preview of the next issue announced an article about the new Smith/Kotzen album, possibly also an interview. Now I'm looking through the new issue and there's - nothing! Not even the standard, a short review in the soundcheck. Nothing at all. And Metal...

An insider or the inaccurate Wikipedia nonsense? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “…McBrain retired from touring in 2024, although he remains a member of the band for studio projects…”

Looking at the comments under the video, the interviewer apparently talked to him about Maiden-related topics, but isn't allowed to share anything.

When a band member leaves, you obviously want someone who can handle the material effortlessly, but in practice it's rare that an exact copy is sought. The new member should not just be a cheaper copy of the original. An example of a very well-known band would be Linkin Park: they even opted...

I will admit that I had similar thoughts. Remember that for the first time the management had a YouTube video of a concert recording removed. Metal bands make most of their money from physical products these days. That's not the problem. But let's see, maybe we're worrying for nothing and...

I don't think someone here has any more information. Something that hurt Roy's religious beliefs badly because he once posted about being saved by Jesus as reply to Leana on Facebook? Could be nonsense though, we don't know.

I could imagine that Simon would like to have a British Lion gig the day before Maiden every time to prepare in the sense of a warm-up in the broader sense.

Early 2026 would be better if Nicko is to play a role. Maintaining his skills will become increasingly difficult as time goes on.

Wow, that's almost as mean as his comment about the overweight man in the audience at the event I was at. Or is this that black British humor and I just don't get it? I also remember him mentioning the Stones' dyed hair, so clearly he's thinking about the issue and that he simply doesn't care...

One more vote for BNW from me.

Happy birthday to Janick! Somehow a strange picture. My input to the AI was just “Happy Birthday, Janick Gers!”

Of course, it's the “Run From Your Wives World Tour”, remember?

Yes, if you can get very enthusiastic, that's both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the one hand, it gives you energy, but on the other, it can also happen that you believe a bit too early that you have created a masterpiece.

His Accept past is something that is generally still very much on Udo's mind. He is also thinking about writing a “tell-all memoir” at some point, but he thinks it will be better after his retirement so that it couldn't do him any harm.

How about recording in early 2026, then releasing after the tour. Message: Spectacular tour, but by the way, in case you thought Maiden was just a cabaret band touring hits now, here's something for you. Check this out too. (I realize that Maiden don't have to pay as much attention to image...

Bruce has already mentioned working on new songs, so that's not something that should be kept secret. It's really interesting that this plays no role at all when they speak about upcoming projects.

I think Steve could consider Adrian's opinion a little more when it comes to production.
