How could I ever be disappointed with the release of a record I have been craving since September 2015? :huh: I need to have it, I need to listen to their 17th opus. About 1/4 of The Book Of Souls disappointed me a little bit, for instance, but when they release a brand new record they ALWAYS do...

Steve, Bruce and Adrian probably would, anyway, in other forms (British Lion, Bruce solo band, Smith/Kotzen)... I think Maiden can't be done without at least a bunch of farewell dates, played in normal crowd conditions. But things don't seem to improve that much, to make think of a proper and...

If the pandemic mess won't fix relatively soon, if mutations won't allow concerts anymore in 2022, too, the only positive outcome of it all will be the new album release. I mean, they couldn't and they won't wait forever, if back to normality will take forever... Mark my words: if 2022 won't go...

Football isn't always about dominating every match and winning every match with a 4-0. Quite lucky tonight, Austria gave it all. But those 2 goals, well, you have to score them, and we did. If we deserve to go out, I think we'll find out everything against Belgium or Portugal, next round... In...

Fully agree. TBOS is the first and only post-1999 album that I find would be better if it was shorter. To me The Man Of Sorrows, The Great Unknown and Shadows Of The Valley are, overall, quite under Maiden standards... Even if all of them have got parts I love. Trim something in Empire and...

Chiesa and Pessina, both from the bench, and up to now both match winners... I repeat: this group is special. Mancini is a great coach, really. So proud of this squad, no matter what.

Rumour had it that Steve wouldn't have liked to end Maiden career with an uneven number of studio albums... And given the next one is the n.17... Are we allowed to dream? :p •••• Some general predictions about the 17th record: • This album will be shorter than TBOS. • Lyrics will be a little...

Yup, that's the key-point. Knowing their mentality, I doubt they'll keep going on without a classic member in the line-up... But if Nicko asked them to, when he'll feel too old to continue, they could accept that idea, who knows. Yeah, if that was the case, I can see a "within-the-family...

Brand new Bruce picture. Iron Maiden FC magazine!

In 2019 he was, yes. But he will be 71 in 2023. And 71 is always 71, doesn't matter where you look it from... One thing is playing drums in Rolling Stones, other thing is playing drums in Iron Maiden... And I know it sounds like a paradox, but 3 years without any live activity won't help, in...

Exactly what I had written: two different legs in a year (2022) are possible/plausible, this time around! It will be the last occasion in their career, to do that / to have to do that.

It can surely be considered a must, but they don't seem to believe in releasing DVDs/Blu-Rays anymore... Steve thinks video formats don't have market like 15/20 years ago. We haven't had an official physical video release since 2013, and I think that prooves what I'm saying, unfortunately. I...

Do you consider so certain a video release from the LOTB? I wouldn't, honestly. I think, at this point, they'd like to close that chapter as soon as possible, and then focus attention, merch and sales on the new record. My bet is that, given the important amount of tour time wasted because of...

With "these days" I meant 2014 --> 2019, not 1999/2000.

One thing is certain, recording Maiden albums at Guillaume Tell Studios means bad luck for the future plans, these days! Both last two albums were delayed, first for cancer and then for pandemic. TBOS delay was about 6 months, while for the 17th one the delay will be 2 years (I think original...

So true.

I'm sorry, but their modus operandi over the last years has given life to 2 sides of fans. The "they don't owe us anything. So you shut up" fans (also, the fans Rod hopes to have...), and the "I'm not okay with this lazy cabaret, anymore" fans. I respect the first side, but I strongly claim the...

This is not disparaging. Not at all... He just had an idea, in order to (try to) send our voices/our thoughts out to them, in some way, and if it will ever be possible. No one here is planning to threaten or to revile anybody. Let's make that clear.

I'm definitely in, mate. If you know how to start one, then give me the link and I'll bring dozens of signatures, other than mine (I'm the owner of a well known italian Maiden fan page / translation page, I can surely focus the fans over this petition). I'm sure about the 1000+ signatures goal...

So sad. So true.
