    The Future Past tour 2023

    Pretty sure worldwide Maiden is WAY bigger than Tool (and Judas). Nowhere near the other 3, for sure, but I'd say the gap between Maiden and those 2 is almost as big as the one between Maiden and the top 3. And I say that because I also didn't know Tool were that big in US, I'd argue there would...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Strong rumours in Brazil that the tour will be announced 18:00 CEST (or 2 hours and 20 minutes from now). Band is the one rumoured as well. It seems it will be 7 dates in Brazil. Same sources say Maiden will enter the studio on winter with the intention to release a new album after the 2nd leg...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Brazil's most reliable concert journalist just tweeted: "Bruce Dickinson in Brazil! April/May 2024. More information soon!" His first Maiden-related tweet this year. We're assuming it's going to be for solo shows but it's Bruce so, who knows...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I don't think it has to do with the tour concept, imo it's more related to the fact that this isn't a real tour through NA and to the fact they will probably go back there (or at least close cities) next year. It probably wasn't promoted as high as it would with a proper tour. These shows...

    Your knowledge of Nicko-related stuff scares me sometimes...

    In LOTB 2018/19 they also shortened some repetitions in the middle section. That improved the song imo.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I guess what he meant to say is that Adrian and Bruce are the ones writing more songs nowadays, assuming Steve is mainly working on other members' songs. Adrian has signed 15 songs on the last 3 albums, Bruce 11, Janick 6 and Davey 2. I think both might have some demos of new songs (maybe not...

    Second night in London was pretty good too.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I can see them booking a studio for the winter, going on tour beginning in March through SA, NA and some Euro shows and then announcing a new album for September of next year. We have to wait and see though.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Sales in general have gone down for every band but they've become bigger in ticket sales for example, and also much due to their 80s albums as well with all the history tours. Their post-reunion albums definitely aren't as popular but the continued touring added to the ease of spreading music...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I think no one would bet they would go on with the same lineup for the next 25 years and getting even bigger. Maiden has become a bigger band on the second half of their career, that's a crazy thing to think about.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    We have the whole 2016 show so would hope for something from 2008 or 2010. And yeah, sorry for misleading, Wacken changed their info from yesterday to today.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I gotta say though, when I saw A MESSAGE FROM NICKO and a video of him talking before I even read the note, I thought for one moment he would say tomorrow would be his last Maiden concert. Got scared as hell, glad it wasn't it and instead the man will hopefully have many more tours to do.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Some did that, some were constantly saying that Maiden should replace Nicko because he clearly couldn't play anymore or that clearly he was doing this tour because he had to and that he should call it a day. Nicko will stop when he decides to, and the fact he did the whole fucking tour as...
