Simply because Joe Lazarus was Nicko's backup, has studied Nicko's parts in deep, in sum he already was an IM-family member. Let's be real, at this point how many tours do the guys have left, other than RFYL? The kid is a solid drummer, just give him the role he worked hard for. PS: Steve...

By the time the tour ends, the youngest band member will be past 68 years old. Exactly, which new chapter?

Life happened in the last two-ish months but I kept up with the lads. I didn't even try to even scroll these 25 pages so I'm probably repeating something already said by many others. I think nobody has seriously been caught off guard by Nicko's retirement. Dawson's choice is perfectly in line...

Not exactly a band-related news, but I think this one's worth a spot here. Guy, better known through his nickname Maverick (or Mav), the writer and curator of The Iron Maiden Commentary, sadly is no longer with us. He passed away on Christmas' Eve, aged 60 (he was born in 1964). Mav had taken...

They have an online configurator which gives you a preventive (if not the final price) for your custom guitar. PS: both ESP and B. C. Rich have custom shops as well, I think all brands have one nowadays.

In most of the album he sounds random to say the least. Holy Smoke is another example, or the end of Mother Russia. And yes, screaming for 300+ gigs all around the globe for nearly two years between '84 and '85 at that pace definitely destroyed his voice. It's like hurting your ankle and taking...

It's not "according to me". Bruce's live singing WAS inconsistent in the 80s. This is not really debatable or a question of being more fan or less fan, it's a matter of fact. It's common knowledge in the fanbase that Somewhere on Tour was disastrous, and all it takes to judge Seventh Tour, if...

Songs played live from albums #1-9 that have not been played by the current line-up: Iron Maiden: Transylvania, Strange World Killers: Genghis Khan, Innocent Exile, Twilight Zone, Purgatory The Number of the Beast: Total Eclipse Piece of Mind: Still Life, To Tame a Land Powerslave: the song...

The Prisoner and Run to the Hills from the Ruskin Arms show: Soundchecks - include random jam sessions, someone (Dave?) hinting the riff of War Pigs, Transylvania in the first one; Hallowed Be Thy Name, the first part of Wrathchild, the "slow" verse of Phantom of the Opera ("Keep your...

The official website considers those dates (October-December 1981) part of the Killer World Tour and the Ruskin Arms show was on 23 December (secret concert for Dave's birthday). The bootlegs list Run to the Hills and The Prisoner in the setlist, and Hallowed Be Thy Name in the soundcheck. The...

More precisely, The Ides of March (apparently), Senjutsu and Stratego are the only song played before the album-supporting tour, but not during. (With an open door for Prodigal Son, if they truly played it in the Wilcock days). Also, didn't they debut some songs from TNOTB in the Bruce dates...

#1 The song you're looking for is, in multiple ways, an absolute unicum... #2 ...but at least in other two, two very evident ones, is not. It was the first song of its kind tho. And one of its verses kinda anticipates a relatively recent, but iconic feature of Iron Maiden, and also the theme of...

No and no,

#1 The song you're looking for is, in multiple ways, an absolute unicum.

Yeah, second this. He wanted a live album for the original Somewhere on Tour, they (fucking finally) played Alexander the Great, they played Caught Somewhere in Time, they played Stranger in a Strange Land after 25 years (and on the whole tour for the first time since 1987), they have new songs...

Gangland?

The Harlots I guess

From Here to Eternity?

This song has my all time favorite Maiden solo. A true gem. That natural harmonic...

Assuming we're talking about the same guy, he was Moonchild89 and has changed his nickname to Patrik Lindgren (which I think is his real name):
