How many of us are here who have resisted the urge and haven't listen the album? At the moment I have fought the temptation and plan to listen the album on Friday with proper quality.

Maybe the 2 singles aren't the songs we hoped from Bruce, but I can see both working really well in live setting. Rain on the Grave has nice drum rhythm which for audience is easy to clap to, I can imagine Bruce showing the lead and the whole venue following. And Ragnarok's riff gets people...

Interesting that here Bruce says Maiden uses lots of repeating of the chorus formula and he gets bored, but now on the newest single, that is exactly what he does - repeats the chorus. Okay, but about the song - video is better than AoR, song is okay, chorus also okay, but I liked AoR's riff...

The way I see it based on the 21st century Maiden album and touring history is that boys will take some rest after 2024 Future Past tour. Then in the first half of 2025 they will go into studio to record new album. Some time between April to June Bruce will do his solo tour in US. Meanwhile all...

I feel Bruce's comments about song selection for upcoming tour are weird. He says he doesn't want to play mid tempo songs, but says he wants to play The Alchemist (which I would say is not even mid tempo, but slow tempo song). Okay, one mid/slow tempo song in the set no problem. But then setlist...

Which songs has Bruce singed during his spoken tour. Maybe he was practicing songs and we can make a tour setlist prediction based on the songs singed?

Interesting, I wonder if Run to the Hills or Trooper would have come out nowadays, would people also comment that riffs are good but nothing special. Chorus good but rather average etc. Or whatever 70-80s hit - Holy Diver, Iron Man, Master of Puppets etc. I think time is what gives songs classic...

So with the recent Bruce video revealed, got me thinking. Which artist/band do you think has great, interesting videos? And which awesome music videos come to your mind? For me, I'm not Rammstein fan (music is too industrial) but what they are great is pyros and music videos. Very interesting...

With each day passing, the chances are getting slimmer that Maiden will play in Europe next year. But it would be quite weird to play Alexander and not play it in Greece + other countries that they didn't visit this year. Maybe they will wait for Bruce's Euro shows to sell better and then...

How much have the tickets cost so far? Although the Tallinn tickets will go on pre-sale on Monday, it seems now that the price for one is 78€, which is pretty high. I think Maiden in Krakow this year was less than that. And if the information is correct then Helsinki ticket price was around 48€...

To me Parchment reminds Rainbow's Stargazer a lot. Both are long hypnotic songs with great athmosphere. Lots of repetions that seem to go nowhere but that's the point with those songs. Just mesmerizing music to enjoy. Yep, Parchment is no Fear in terms of crowd involvement, but it has it's own...

I was able to see Eric Adams at the beginning of the year. His voice has indeed aged very well, from 80's singers he probably has the best voice nowadays. Unfortunately, his live presence and showmanship was quite poor. I think I didn't see him once doing some quicker steps (and I'm not talking...

Lots of members are sure that Maiden gonna play in Europe next summer. So with that, what do you think what is more logical/profitable course of action for Maiden HQ. To announce Maiden European dates first and then after some time Bruce's European tour dates or the other way round. Bruce first...

All that talk with 50th anniversary got me thinking. Iron Maiden's start date is 25.12.1975. So wouldn't it be correct to celebrate 50 years of activity after 50 years are completed. What I mean is celebration and celebrating tour should take place after 25.12.2025, so 50th anniversary tour...

My money is on double album and book/comics.

Would you rather get album with 8 tracks next autumn or album with 10 tracks in 2025 (autumn most likely)?

Funny I was just thinking the same thing and thought about posting it, but you beat me to it. But yes, it seems The Mandrake Project is and will be the name of the album. Although I am interested what Bruce means with the last sentence - "As for what The Mandrake Project actually is… all will be...

Speaking of keyboard player. Imagine if Bruce decides to play Empire of the Clouds on the tour.

Well, in January Steve is already occupied with British Lion tour, so that leaves them only 2 months (some break after PowerTrip - recording starting second half of October and I assume nobody wants to spend Christmas period in studio so recording ending by latest in the middle of December). If...

With these Bruce and Steve's solo tour dates announcements the only time for them to record an album in the near future is to do it from October to December, roughly 2 months. Maybe since they are already in America they will opt for Bahamas again? How realistic do you think it is? How long do...
