Being fired is different to leaving in my opinion. Adrian, for example, was also fired although the official story is that he left. As for Rod, even if you don't consider him a member of the band, he is considered by some a member of the band... Eddie is not only a drawing... In any case, if...

Rod — and by extension, the band — know they can’t really compete with Metallica and other major acts in the U.S. these days. The metal market there is just too broad, too competitive, and demands too much. Maiden is a traditional band. Sure, they made a bit more of an effort on the last tour...

It depends on the point of view... Dave Murray didn't left, he was fired. Then you have Rod and Eddie, who are considered by some another member, they haven't left either.

I agree with you, and even himself has recognised that sometimes he hasn't taken the best decisions. He became an almost father figure to the band, and he is (and still is) very old school, the reason why in 1986 he and Andy brought Merck Mercuriadis into the fold (something that did help Maiden...

Well, in part the filming of the documentary did had some budget cuts, so...

Maybe they will... After all, I do not know how they'll be able to show the amount of information they filmed

I just want them to give the honest truth about the whole thing... Not the "Oh! Adrian decided to quit because he thought the band was playing too fast", "The got rid of Blaze because the pressures of the record label"...

I do seem to recall something like that but not entirely sure, however, I do remember is that pictures of the pre-production of the 'Ead were shown in the IM website and looked just awesome! Very detailed... Then they said it was going to cost too much to paint the whole lot and we ended up with...

The crazy thing about the book is that Derek wasn't personally involved at that time... About the giant artwork you mention, Derek did work on that but for one reason or the other the management scrapped the idea and that's why we ended up with the bad collage of Eddies in the inside of the...

For what I understand it will be at least 2 hours, I know many interviews were conducted, so I think it will be something like the early days series. I also understand they will show some archive footage. To be honest I thought it was going to be a series and not a one time thing.

Thank you for your reply @Edington. I didn't feel any hostility in your part and I do get your sceptism. In any case let me just clarify to you and all other here my story. My name is Luis Mariano, a 51 years old lawyer from Venezuela. I first discovered Iron Maiden on a Sunday afternoon in...

Thank you for taking the time to reply and explain. Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture, nor do I fully understand how I present myself or my work, in any case, thank you once again for your words. As for the thread, for what I understand the documentary will cover all eras of the band, not...

Hi @Perun, thank you for your reply. Let me just say this: when people started complaining about the book being sold, I simply stopped posting because some were far too aggressive. As you said, this is a forum, and I understand that we’re all free to share—respectfully—what we know or want to...

Is ok Vaenyr, I sensed there was no ill intent on your comment and I tried to replied in the best way possible. I also tried to clarify that although I do know somethings some others don't, I definitely don't know it all and what I say I cannot freely say because of the NDA. My only intention is...

Alright, so far I’ve held back from making a comment, but I think the time has come. First of all, I’d like to invite some people here to reflect for a moment: why do you think people like Barry Considine, Ricardo Lira, Mike Chudleigh, and other Maiden researchers have stopped sharing insights...

First of all, I’d like to clarify something: I’m not holding anything back. My research is something I carry on continuously, even while working on other projects, and new information keeps coming my way. In fact, that’s exactly what happened shortly after the first edition was completed. Jim...

Meanwhile, here's something I'm finally able to share. Maiden making things right by signing a settlement agreement with Paul Cairns for his contribution to Maiden, and especially for recording guitars on The Soundhouse Tapes.

Thank you very much for your words. Really appreciate them. As for @Vaenyr. I try to share information that’s both accurate and respectful of the trust people have placed in me over the years. While I do have some boundaries I can’t cross—believe me, not for lack of wanting to—I’m not in the...
