    This is also curious: ''So, we used to have to change the drum fills on various songs over the last two tours, the 'Legacy Of The Beast' tour part two, and then 'Future Past'. But going forward, there were songs on this new set that I knew I would have difficulty playing, and we wouldn't wanna...

    18th Studio Album discussion

    He said there are no plans for a new album yet (maybe after next year's tour they'll start thinking about it), but I like how he added that this could change. Him being not sure if he'll be asked to play on a couple of songs is kind of odd, considering they said he's still part of the band...

    The 2022 tour (similar in terms of schedule) also had 1 month off.

    Besides SIT walk-on Eddie, the Trooper one is also a favorite of Steve. Adrian has had mixed feelings about the walk-ons over the years. Bruce's favorite covers are Powerslave and Seventh Son. Derek was inspired by a 70s comic book for TNOTB. Btw, the recent new Metal Hammer interview with...

    Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

    So just 10 NA dates (strong and popular openers, they will help, Steve loves them; why not for Knebworth?), shorter than usual/the 2022 similar tour, and the European dates - odd. Like the 2006 tour. Should we expect more dates like probably for Europe? October is for SA (no Rock In Rio?). And...

    NOW PLAYING

    Kiss - Burning Up With Fever From DTK sessions. Classic (fun) 70s Kiss, it could have been an album song (unlike the other 1975 demo ''Mistake'', although it fits their early style more or less). Guitar playing is a highlight.

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2014

    No Priest and HammerFall albums from 2014... I would have voted for them.

    Maidenfans Best Albums of the Millennium: 2014

    Empire Of The Undead - underrated Gamma Ray album imo. It has 1-2 weaker songs, but the rest is strong quality of theirs with some new classics. Blind Rage - one of their strongest albums as a whole piece, maybe THE one from the Mark era. It's full of bangers with only 1 filler! The songs are...

    Which songwriting team is your favourite?

    It's easy for me to say Harris solo (Dickinson solo are also winners), but since it's a songwriting team: Gers/Harris. For the epicness of the songs. I have to mention Harris/Smith/Dickinson, quality stuff. We haven't had that combo on the last 2 albums. I also enjoy Smith/Dickinson(ofc)...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Adrian is just pure class. I like how he said he thinks Nicko was the best player in the band (''it would never be the same, very distinctive style, we love him, he's incredible and he'll always be a part of the band''). He also added that Maiden's choice of band members is always if they know...

    Best New Music 2025 Edition

    Battle Beast's new album, Steelbound, continues the quality line from the previous one. Similar albums. IMO - only 1 filler from 9 songs (one song is just a 2-minute intro)! Every song is memorable/has a memorable part, which is not that easy, despite their style. Noora's voice makes everything...

    At first I really thought the vocals are live because Bruce's voice (not the screams, they're top) during the verses sounds kind of odd, even for 1982, like it's too dramatic. I'm not a fan of them, it's like a different voice, Samson-like. TNOTB album has no such vocals. 2005 is pure gold for...

    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    Definitely, better representation and variety. They do it for some break and fun. Btw, the song played for the first time since 1987 is a challenge for Kiske, he doesn't sound that good.

    https://www.instagram.com/falconfaulkner/p/DHMHA3dR6V_/?hl=bg Richie and Rob won their categories in the Japanese Burrn magazine readers' choice. Ahead of Adrian and Bruce (Steve won his category). Such a praise for Richie, he can't believe it. With the new album. Top player after all, he just...

    Official Iron Maiden artwork and fan drawn Eddies (no AI images please)

    New POM art that we missed from the comic book. It's like a continuation of the album cover, Eddie looking through the cell (for Icarus!). I like it, but why Eddie isn't colorful?

    Album Cover Art Cup <<WINNER: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper >>

    The full art is nothing short of an epic! Yeah, lots of details and more colors, the one in the game emphasizes the whale, but they are all good and mystical. Not refined, but deep. Definitely. Still it's good.

    Album Cover Art Cup <<WINNER: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper >>

    6 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper 4 Mastodon - Leviathan +1 So here it is, the FINAL. I thought Helloween, Holy Diver (to mention some, Terminal Redux had a good run too, etc) would be here, but the 2 covers are striking. I'm glad Leviathan is so liked - and I vote for it because it looks better to...

    I'm a big fan of Prowler '88 version. Bruce's vocals at that time suit it and (a perfect example of) the production makes it shine even more, especially Dave's solo. Like the drums & rhythm guitar production for Bruce's version of Bring Your Daughter, it's the same. The originals are perfect...

    Best Maiden album cover art:

    Powerslave - a definition of epic, timeless art! Killers - the classic image of Eddie and background, enough said. Brave New World - the art is very captivating with the futuristic city and (even with just) Eddie's head. The colors add a lot, striking image. Fear Of The Dark - one of the best...
