Of course, some people are so used to getting everything through nepotism. :devil2: I apologize for the mean words, but I am allergic to nepotism.

What would you say, how should the statement be understood? The new drummer will be announced soon? Or maybe at the end of the year? New year, never era?

You can only pay Nicko the greatest respect for the way he worked his way back and how he had the strength to retire at the right moment for him. But it must be painful that he can't end his career after the Anniversary tour, don't you think? That would theoretically have been more fitting...

Yes, there are such emergencies (like an illness in the family), but if someone really doesn't want to tour or there are doubts about their suitability to tour, a solution is usually sought much earlier than in this case.

It's not true that he generally doesn't tour. He was initially announced as guitarist for “The Mandrake Project” tour and has also answered accordingly in interviews. And apparently also in the interview above, which we no longer have access to?

We all know that people, situations and opinions can change. Bruce has talked in some interviews about how he would have wanted to help Maiden find a new singer if it had turned out that he could no longer sing. Perhaps Nicko would want a successor himself? I'm not saying it can't well be that...

I believe they have planned to use the South America gigs but I wouldn't choose this one.

I think we should post our opinions honestly without having to worry that they might be too negative. Also, I don't see why we can't say both, some have the opinion that they simply enjoyed Bruce's singing. But sometimes it's also objectively true that he doesn't sing in tune.

And is he saying that he doesn't want to be in the “House Band of Hell” because Jesus teaches that a good Christian stays away from hell?

I don't know. I'm sure they argued before, but the way it stands out this time, so much so that we're even discussing it here, I'd say it's different this time.

I neither find Bruce's last album nor this new single remarkable. Can we somehow start a petition that Maiden must exist (writing music) forever?

Unfortunately, the book might even be successful. Fans may be curious about these “shocking” details and will tell themselves it's for a good cause if they buy.

The budget to promote them or draw attention to them has apparently been set to 0. You can hardly find any information about the new issues.

Rock Hard Germany My translation Stjepan Juras, IRON MAIDEN fan and author of several books about the band, had worked with Paul Di'Anno on the biography “666 Days With The Beast” in recent years. Juras also assisted the singer in Croatia, where Paul Di'Anno had his knee operations in 2022...

I'm curious to see how Bruce will explain it in future interviews if Roy Z isn't involved in the next Bruce album. “He has an incredible amount of other things to do.”

Wouldn't it have been fitting if he was Maiden's opening act at some shows in 2025?

Nicko is of course a special topic, but considering the performance of the others, I have to admit that I've never really understood why there's so much discussion about age, retirement, last tour etc. with Maiden of all bands.

The drummer shouldn't get so much faster (unless that's a feature of this particular composition) unplanned during the same song, whether his string instrumentalists are young or not.

I wish an interviewer had the guts to ask him a question about it, which should be fair as Bruce himself has confirmed in interviews that he still stands by Brexit, but then follow-up questions never come from the interviewer. Not because someone should have a dig at Bruce, but I'd be honestly...

I also found it strange that he said that and somehow had the idea that he wanted to give an explanation, without explicitly addressing it, that Adrian didn't tour with him or at least appeared as a guest at some shows, something that many fans seemed quite convinced of.
