Bruce Dickinson: “You want the greatest hits, right? Well, we can’t do them all,…” …in part 1 of the tour? Some here wrote this as soon as the next tour was announced, but it was considered completely implausible by others. Yes, sure. But is it my imagination, or does he genuinely sound even...

Yes, I already complained about it in the Blaze Bayley thread. :mad: Yeah, I don't expect anything now either, but closer in time to the tour I still think it would be a good idea.

I just found them completely generic, insignificant. The thought of how many other bands would have deserved a chance like this more always annoys me.

I was just thinking, it would have even fit well with the “Silicon Messiah - 25th Anniversary" shows he's playing in 2025, and then the gig would move on to the 50th anniversary of Maiden. But “The Raven Age” are back instead, how nice! :p Do they have an anniversary too?

I think there could nevertheless be a statement or a video/interview or something that features Simon. Maybe it would even be a good idea to familiarize the fans with the new situation?

If I'm not mistaken, there's been no statement from Simon Dawson about his new role? Maybe there will be a video with him at some point where he says something about his drum set. I don't know if that's logistically possible, but the best version of such a video would of course be if Nicko was...

It is a pity that Blaze won't be playing any role at all on Maiden's anniversary tour apparently. Or maybe on the next tour after “Run For Your Lives”? I think it would have been very fitting if Blaze had opened some shows (and of course good for his career).

But they were of all sorts of nationalities. If someone who wasn't British (or from the Commonwealth) had shown interest, Rod would have gone: :p

So you assume that this groove is not part of Steve's vision of Maiden, because Steve obviously doesn't see it as a problem to play with Simon Dawson as a drummer.

I think Steve just wants some acceptable rock music for British Lion so he can play live, not more. That's why he is in British Lion.

I think there could be some good songs without Steve's involvement on a next album, but for the full Maiden songwriting and idea potential to unfold, they definitely need Steve.

You can test if they are AI generated or if Photoshop was used, just a few examples: https://wasitai.com/ https://www.fakeimagedetector.com/ Photo agencies have increasingly strict guidelines. Famous example: The “Frankenphoto” that Kate Middelton published for Mother's Day 2024 and that was...

Dear band, I confirm that I don't see or hear any difference to 40-50 year old colleagues! So there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to prove anything by including “Aces High” in the setlist! :D

For me, a reasonable interpretation of “Setlist for the ages” would be the famous Maiden classics from that period plus something special, i.e. a never-played song. Stop it! That will motivate Bruce and more recently also Steve to include it in the setlist! :D

I don't know. You could make the same argument for Simon Dawson. I'm sure he has also prepared himself to play Iron Maiden songs. Sorry, but when someone or their family angrily makes these arguments publicly on Facebook, you know it was a good call to choose the other option. No one needs the...

Some here thought it might have had something to do with Nicko's decision, others that it was just Steve's self-deprecating humorous way of talking about “the old age” of the band members before. I don't know, but it is indeed striking how different his last interview came across.

I assume this is supposed to be a purely theoretical discussion? After the last interview, it seems to me that Steve wants to try to play until he's 110 years old with the help of the strictest fitness and health program and encourage the others to do the same.

Is he saying a short break? It's not that short. Or does he mean until the recordings for the new album start? Is there already wild speculation in other forums or groups? I have an idea: We'll ask Juras, who was able to predict that Maiden will play in Wacken 2025 by closely monitoring the...

Do you think Nicko will continue playing and practicing a lot? I don't think you can bring someone out of retirement at any time and expect an excellent performance on an album, especially after a stroke. Even in the studio, where repetition and correction is possible, that becomes problematic...

Who had the better hairdresser/stylist?
