    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    I’m aware it has been discussed lots on here. I have contributed lots to the discussion. My point is that I think the fans should worry more about the quality of the music that is being performed as opposed to the visuals. I don’t see how anyone can listen to Aces High or Hallowed from this...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    I think the main difference between Ghost and Kiss is that Tobias can actually write good songs.

    Average song length of each studio album.

    100% agree. It’s my favourite reunion album for this very reason.

    If that is the case, I will miss seeing them at the O2 Arena.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Sure the discussion of the pros and cons of the stage make a good side quest. I will still say the main issue with the tour is the band performing songs that Bruce can’t do justice anymore. I won’t go into more detail, as I will get a slap on the wrist. I’ll go back to sitting in the back row…

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    I know this might sound controversial, but I would prefer it if Maiden bowed out gracefully than played a handful of stadium shows each year. Plus the only way that they will continue to sell out stadiums (at least in the UK) is to tour off the back of a nostalgia theme. It would be great for...

    Blaze Bayley

    The album is outstanding on so many levels. Jeff Singer is the MVP on the album for me.

    Thanks @Onhell. This post perked me up! The meeting was not as bad as I thought it could be. They just want to support her more. And thank you @MindRuler for the kind words!

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    Between 2005 and 2008, they toured Europe each year. They were not always massive tours, but it was still a good streak.

    Mental Health Thread

    I’m fed up at the moment. We are in the process of selling and buying a house which is stressful in itself. We also have a meeting with my daughter’s nursery today. It is a follow up from earlier in the year, but I think that they will try diagnose her with some form of SEND. She is a fidget and...

    Interesting chords/key/musical ideas in maiden songs

    I have always loved the modulation to the major key during the ‘But still we walk into the village’ verse in Back in the Village. I remember it really caught me off guard when I first heard it. I think it goes to A major or a progression based around E mixolydian. Rock and pop harmony is always...

    Bruce Dickinson

    I don’t mind the Mandrake Project. I don’t think there are any terrible songs on the album. My only frustration is you can hear that Bruce used different vocal takes from over the course of 25 years. It is really obvious which takes were done pre and post cancer (just listen for the lisp in the...

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    I would bet money on them being the headliners at Download next year. I can’t see them doing another stadium show just yet.

    So much for Nicko remaining a member of the band

    The whole ‘Nicko is still in the band’ felt like the comment ‘let’s stay in touch’ you make to a colleague when they are leaving. You both know it’s not true but it is a nice thing to say.

    I love Maiden, but I really don’t enjoy wearing Maiden shirts. They are always too in your face. Much prefer a subtle band shirt.
