Some here thought it might have had something to do with Nicko's decision, others that it was just Steve's self-deprecating humorous way of talking about “the old age” of the band members before. I don't know, but it is indeed striking how different his last interview came across.

I assume this is supposed to be a purely theoretical discussion? After the last interview, it seems to me that Steve wants to try to play until he's 110 years old with the help of the strictest fitness and health program and encourage the others to do the same.

Is he saying a short break? It's not that short. Or does he mean until the recordings for the new album start? Is there already wild speculation in other forums or groups? I have an idea: We'll ask Juras, who was able to predict that Maiden will play in Wacken 2025 by closely monitoring the...

Do you think Nicko will continue playing and practicing a lot? I don't think you can bring someone out of retirement at any time and expect an excellent performance on an album, especially after a stroke. Even in the studio, where repetition and correction is possible, that becomes problematic...

Who had the better hairdresser/stylist?

Has anyone heard anything about Roy Z's remixes for Bruce? I've only seen “What's Believing” (Anguish Project) mixed by Roy Z will be out in January, but I don't think anyone has ever mentioned this work for Bruce again?

Not necessarily. Having the most bombastic show as an anniversary show and then focusing more on just the music on the next tours is also good strategy.

The tour will be a spectacle. Bruce Dickinson: "“We’ll be presenting things in such a way that people will be blown away - not just by the music, but by the whole spectacle!”...

Realistic version: Not the most skillful communication that didn't take into account how much speculation this detail could trigger. Conspiracy theory version: Iron Maiden “always get their man”, which means he's still resisting and negotiating better terms. In the meantime, the drummer who was...

I would have found that better. To deliver something worthy of discussion on the topics addressed, an author would have to do an enormous amount of research into the current state of the natural sciences and philosophy or cooperate with actual experts in the fields. They thought this was a...

I am not a fan club member, that’s why I only now saw the newsletter with this info: “The Mandrake Project is going strong and only getting more wonderfully weird. Issue 4 is out now, and you can grab it online here or from all fine comic sellers.” But no summary of the plot. Only that it is...

Wasn’t the post that Simon Dawson is 66 a joke?

There must have been a plan B. Everything else would be totally unprofessional and irresponsible. To be honest, I thought his playing would have improved more this year than it actually had compared to so soon after his stroke.

Are we making a collection of bald heads? Then I would like to register Wolf Hoffmann.

I could only believe such a late, sudden decision if something significant had happened last week. Otherwise I would find such planning too unusual.

To be consistent with this image, Bruce has even made the sacrifice of announcing that he is in favor of Brexit. ;) The only thing that doesn't fit is that he lives in Paris. Hmm, the image needs to be revised and modernized. :D

As I had written, Wacken would still announce a headliner for 2025. But it's Guns 'n Roses. Juras must have gotten something mixed up, or confused someone with someone he supposedly saw in Wacken. :D

I didn't necessarily expect that. Contrary to what is sometimes believed these days, people don't have to document their entire lives on social media. On the contrary, sometimes you get to know people personally and realize that their lives and their social media are quite different... As I see...

It does have positive aspects. It was a bit unfortunate, especially on the anniversary tour, to have to choose the songs according to the drummer's abilities and thus be limited. Maiden's live performance will benefit from a more consistent drummer, how could it be otherwise. It's just sad for...

I disagree with that. You want to work with professionals you can trust. The info that Joe has been available in the background for a few years may be relatively harmless, but who knows what someone who is like that will reveal next if he is upset about something? A lot of things have to be...
