The reliable sources around (excluding Wiki) state "well over 100 mln" - the industry sources, Warner Music/EMI/Parlophone - everywhere. You may not believe that, but I may tell you I don't believe the sales figures of any band. If the figure was the lie, reliable data and studies done by...

The certificates are always related to the sales threshold achieved by distributing the albums by the same label representing the artist at the moment! Iron Maiden was released in the States by Capitol Records (1980 - 1990), Epic was next, then they went back to Capitol for a while, and Castle...

Let's focus on facts and reliable (important) indications: 1. Album sales official data: Judas Priest: over 55 mln Black Sabbath: circa 80 mln Iron Maiden: well over 100 mln, still silver, gold, and platinum discs to receive (after 2021) 2. Live shows: Judas Priest: mid and big arenas in EU/UK...

You never know, but AH was played so many times as a show opener in the past; last time in 2018/19. I don't know if using this one as an opener would be a good idea. BQoBD should be a better choice.

Live After Death, Rock in Rio, Live After Death, Maiden England, Beast over Hammersmith, Flight 666, BBC Archive, Maiden Japan EP (Japanese version of full show). The seven best live albums recorded by Maiden. There's no other metal band that has so many A-class live releases.

If JP had/has so big support from wideo auditories/listeners why don't they play stadium instead of Maiden and why don't they headline the biggest festivals around? Even when they played PowerTrip festival in Indio just because Ozzy invited them to stand in. And maybe you talk about American...

Yes, but they aren't a metal bands in the classic sense. Maiden are mostly about epic, powerful tracks, and they can share the ballad formula with hard rockin' power, progressive harmonies, and narrative vocals just in ONE song; they can do this as second to none. IM is not just metal, they are...

Everywhere in the world, JP is a way smaller as band than Maiden, which on some markets is gargantuan.

No, commercially they are a way smaller band. Iron Maiden are after Metallica, which is a media-friendly behemoth. As I said, the stats and figures don't lie.

Judas Priest? Really. No, Iron Maiden achieved commercially a lot more!!! Stats don't lie! No, Maiden since decades playing to way bigger crowds around the world, sold a lot more records and merch, and achieved something very special, which even K. K. Downing from Priest described in his book as...

If they put more effort into US they probably would have been inducted into RnRHoF some years ago. Yoy write a lot about the show - ok! But in the press announcement, Rod and the Boys promised something very special and really big. Do you think they really give the fans an "out of this world"...

You're right, but Rod should tend to do more for the band's media presence, especially in North America. I've got the impression they completely bagatellize that market.

This is why I've always criticized Rod Smallwood and his mentality. He's not about how to invest more and earn much and much, but just how to cut the costs and earn a lot less than he should. IF IRON MAIDEN HAD BETTER MANAGEMENT, THEY'D BE EVEN BIGGER. PERIOD

Oh my God, too expensive sounds like the most common word in the Smallwood's mouth! I'm afraid he decide to cut down the production cost for the forthcoming tour 'cos "too expensive" reasons

Thx a lot, they can stream docum via platforms as series of 30 min long episodes.

Do you know how long it will be and what kind of montage formula (filming concept) we may see? THX

It's obvious to me. Last go around? I don't know, maybe, but if the musicians' health is OK, they will be with us for a little longer, I reckon.

Just look and see: "Iron Maiden" (1980): Phantom of the Opera, Running Free, Iron Maiden "Killers" (1981): Wrathchild, Killers "The Number of the Beast" (1982): Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Number of the Beast "Piece of Mind" (1983): The Trooper "Powerslave" (1984): 2 Minutes to...

They haven't toured NA in the Summer since 2019. I think they might do the same next year: 30 - 34 NA shows since the second half of June, Latin/SA next, and Asia/Oceania as the grand finale. It depends on how many shows they book in Canada/US after documentary screenings/streaming. It should...
